  This book is a record of my memories and experiences from a young child until I was thirty-seven years old and met my third husband. In between, I faced challenges, made some questionable choices, suffered the consequences and persevered. I'm still here to talk about it. I felt like it was important to share these stories as I'm sure many people can relate. The stories I've shared include hopelessness, anger and frustration, but also humor, sarcasm and success. I hope to provide encouragement, empathy, and support.

  F*ck You God - One Man's...

  What could lead a little fellow to set a putt-putt course on fire or host a keg party at his parents’ house during high school (when his father was a prominent pastor in town) or defy all odds and become perhaps a combination of the smallest and slowest starting wide receiver in major college football history? And how did that youngster eventually become an NFL agent by accident, meeting his future wife on a steamy asphalt parking lot with a “Hey, what’s your name?” yelled across that same parking lot by way of introduction and then having his heart radically transformed by the birth of his first child, Hannah, before raising three more children? And how could this same man possibly handle the news that his beloved daughter was dying? And more so, once she died, would it ever be possible for him to find healing?  
  Join Phil Williams on his journey as he weaves humorous, heartwarming, and intriguing stories from birth until fatherhood, and then walk with him on the most painful path a parent could ever navigate, all of which leads him to what he would call the only journey worth taking: the journey to discover what this life is really all about and who we really are.  
  If you like stories that leave you smiling and crying and laughing and anticipating the next one, dig in. But, no matter how much you might anticipate the next story, nothing will prepare you for the climax of this deeply emotional tale of a man and his daughter and the deeper search for meaning and truth.

  Agatha Christie - A Very Short...

  Agatha Christie is a global bestseller. Her work has been translated into over 100 languages and adapted for stage and screen. Christie's writing life ran from 1920 to the 1970s, and she didn't just write puzzles, she wrote plays, supernatural stories, thrillers, satires, and domestic noir. She also commented obliquely but perceptively on the social and cultural changes of a troubled century. Christie's work tells the story of a changing Britain, but perhaps her greatest achievement is not to be limited by that national context. Her stories achieve the rare feat of appearing both universal and specific and can seemingly be adapted for almost any context. 
   
  This Very Short Introduction investigates why the novels of a middle-class, middlebrow Englishwoman were so successful, and why they continue to appeal to such a broad range of readers. Chapters explore the context of Christie's writing, and the clue-puzzle detective fiction structure at which she excelled, but they also question the familiar assumptions that surround her and what we think we know about her work. Gill Plain examines Christie's capacity to register the zeitgeist, and consider how her novels reveal anxieties surrounding gender roles, the family, war, justice, ethics, and nation. Her fascination with hypocrisy, power, abuse, deceit, and despair continues to resonate with readers—and screenwriters—who respond to her light touch and dark imagination to repurpose her stories with the fears and desires most appropriate to their time.
