The Palm Beach PI - Whiskey Sex and Faith: My Life as a Private Investigator

Frank Ciatto

Maison d'édition: BooxAi

Synopsis

More so than the cases themselves, this book is about the people I have met throughout this strange and unique career path. Some have changed my life in profound ways, some have transitioned from clients to friends, a few have tried to kill me, and some I would just as soon forget. But a desire to help people is the fundamental reason for what I have chosen to pursue as a profession. And the reason for writing this book is the hope that, by sharing my experiences, my successes and my failures, my insight, as well as the mistakes I have made along the way, I am able to reach and help others whose paths I may have never otherwise crossed. The question I continue to ask during this journey is the one I have asked myself numerous times throughout my life. What are we here to do?This collection of stories chronicles some of the most interesting, comical, and bizarre cases from my career. But it is also an exploration of my faith journey and how that brought me to the path I am currently navigating. The desire to help others led me to the work that I do, but my faith in Jesus has literally saved my life and lifted me out of the pit of grief and despair. My intention is to provide a message of hope and show that through helping other we help ourselves heal. I endeavored to make the content entertaining, but it is my sincere hope that something in one of the stories may help change your perspective in a meaningful way. Whether that be in opening your heart and mind to the contemplation of your faith, or simply just getting involved in helping other people in whatever way you are able. As crazy as it has been, I love what I do and I hope that comes across on these pages.-Frank Ciatto, the Palm Beach P.I.

Louisa May Alcott's Love For...

Niina Niskanen

Louisa May Alcott´s Little Women is the author´s love song for German culture and literature. In the novel, there are many moments when the characters make references to German literature, and Jo's love interest professor Bhaer is also based on Alcott's favourite writer, the German poet Goethe. When Friedrich helps Jo when she struggles writing to Weekly Volcano, we can see her influences from Goethe, Friedrich recommends Jo read Shakespeare and study characters like Goethe would have done. It is also remarkable that Alcott gives Jo a German love interest because German immigrants were widely discriminated in 19th century America, but in Concord where Alcott's resided there was a full-blown German epidemic with people rushing to buy German books and anything that came from Germany.
In the very first chapter of Little Women Jo wishes for a copy of Undine and Sintram as a Christmas present. Undine and Sintram is a collection of Scandinavian and Germanic fables written by French-German author Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. This book appears again in the last Little Women book, Jo´s boys. Marches help the poor Hummel family who has immigrated from Germany. Beth and Marmee are especially close to them. Beth catches terrible scarlet fever, but the Marches never blame the Hummels. Epidemic diseases were rather common back then and Louisa always writes about the Hummels with great sympathy. In the chapter "Camp Lawrence" John Brooke translates a German song for Meg and reads her parts from "Mary Stuart", a play that was written by German poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller. At Meg´s and John´s wedding, Laurie suggests that they dance as the Germans do.

The Accidental Duchess - From...

Emma Manners Duchess of Rutland

This audiobook is read by the author, Emma Manners, Duchess of Rutland.'The Duchess does indeed seem a remarkable woman . . . this is an engaging book' Lynn Barber, Daily TelegraphWhen Emma Watkins, the pony-mad daughter of a Welsh farmer, imagined her future, she imagined following in her mother's footsteps to marry a farmer of her own. But then she fell in love with David Manners, having no idea that he was heir to one of the most senior hereditary titles in the land. When David succeeded his father, Emma found herself becoming the chatelaine of Belvoir Castle, ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland.She had to cope with five boisterous children while faced with a vast estate in desperate need of modernisation and staff who wanted nothing to change - it was a daunting responsibility. Yet with sound advice from the doyenne of duchesses, Duchess ‘Debo’ of Devonshire, she met each challenge with optimism and gusto, including scaling the castle roof in a storm to unclog a flooding gutter; being caught in her nightdress by mesmerised Texan tourists and disguising herself as a cleaner to watch filming of The Crown. She even took on the castle ghosts . . .At times the problems she faced seemed insoluble yet, with her unstoppable energy and talent for thinking on the hoof, she won through, inspired by the vision and passion of those Rutland duchesses in whose footsteps she trod, and indeed the redoubtable and resourceful women who forged her way, whose homes were not castles but remote farmhouses in the Radnorshire Hills.Vividly written and bursting with insights, The Accidental Duchess will appeal to everyone who has visited a stately home and wondered what it would be like to one day find yourself not only living there, but in charge of its future.

May to May – My Journey to...

Reabetswe Moabi

One of society’s main problems today is a lack of self-love; this is evident in the way most people live their lives – sadly, I was also part of the statistic. The fact that I was not living life to the full bothered me in many ways. I was not running my own race; I constantly compared myself to others; I had not accepted myself for who I was, and I had not taken full responsibility for my life. I was merely alive and confused. Although everything on the outside looked good, I felt miserable. I learned the hard way that what goes on inside us is more 
important than what people can see. A lack of self-love impacted most areas of my life negatively - I knew something needed to change.
 
Once I had surrendered my life to God, He helped me see my own value. I started May to May – My Journey to Self-love with God to move my life in the right direction. After discovering the 20 components that lead to self-love, my life has never been the same. I could finally accept myself just as I was. I am proud to say there is no other race I would rather run than my own. I needed to love myself first, so I could truly live.
