  Twenty-four + One: A Mother’s Story of Faith, Love and Miracles is a heartfelt memoir chronicling the powerful journey of Ash Ruddy, a mother whose strength and faith were forged in the fires of uncertainty and fear. At just twenty-four weeks and one day into her pregnancy, Ash faced delivering her son, Michael. What began as a medical emergency quickly unfolded into a life-altering spiritual journey. 
  As Ash battles the emotional and physical trials of extreme prematurity, she finds herself leaning into something greater than medicine or human strength—her growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Through late nights filled with prayer, moments of doubt met with grace, and quiet miracles that affirmed her hope, Ash learns what it means to trust fully in God’s plan. 
  This deeply personal account explores the intersection of motherhood and faith, as Ash walks through every appointment, every complication, and every answered and unanswered prayer with vulnerability and resilience. Twenty-four + One is not just the story of a mother fighting for her child’s life—it is the story of a woman transformed by the love of Christ. 
  With each chapter, readers witness Ash’s evolving faith, her unwavering love for her son, and the miracles—big and small—that led her closer to her Savior. It’s a testimony to the power of God’s presence in life’s darkest valleys, and a tribute to the miracles that happen when we surrender to His will. 
  Both inspiring and deeply moving, Twenty-four + One is a testament to the strength of a mother’s love, the beauty of unwavering faith, and the grace that carries us when we can no longer carry ourselves.

  This is a concise summary and analysis of Erotic Vagrancy, by Roger Lewis. It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Roger Lewis. Ideal for those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
   
  Erotic Vagrancy is an irreverent, provocative, and darkly comic journey through the underbelly of desire, culture, and obsession. Blending memoir, literary critique, and wild philosophical digressions, the book explores eccentric lives, scandalous histories, and the thin line between genius and madness. With sharp wit and unapologetic candor, it dives into the absurdities of fame, the grotesque allure of certain personalities, and the unfiltered passions that shape both art and life. It’s a work that defies categorization—part satire, part cultural autopsy, and wholly unrestrained.
