Public ISBD Titre : A Chance In the World : An Orphan Boy, a Mysterious Past, and How He Found a Place Called Home Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : PEMBERTON, STEVE, Auteur Editeur : Nashville [USA] : Thomas Nelson edition Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 272 page ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4041-8355-1 Prix : 20 € Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A Chance in the World is the unbelievably true story of a wounded and broken boy destined to become a man of resilience, determination, and vision. Through it all, Steve’s story teaches us that no matter how broken our past, no matter how great our misfortunes, we have it in us to create a new beginning and to build a place where love awaits. “Pemberton’s beautifully told story is a rags to riches journey—beginning in a place and with a jarring set of experiences that could have destroyed his life. But Steve’s refusal to give in to those forces, and his resolve to create a better life, shows a courage and resilience that is an example for many of us to follow.” —Stedman Graham, author, educator Home is the place where our life stories begin. A Chance in the World is the astonishing true story of a boy destined to become a man of resilience determination and vision. Down in the dank basement, amidst my moldy, hoarded food and beloved worm-eaten books, I dreamed that my real home, the place where my story had begun, was out there somewhere, and one day I was going to find it. Taken from his mother at age three, Steve Klakowicz lives a terrifying existence. Caught in the clutches of a cruel foster family and subjected to constant abuse, Steve finds his only refuge in a box of books given to him by a kind stranger. In these books, he discovers new worlds he can only imagine and begins to hope that one day he might have a different life, that one day he will find his true home. A fair-complexioned boy with blue eyes, a curly Afro, and a Polish last name, he is determined to unravel the mystery of his origins and find his birth family. Armed with just a single clue, Steve embarks on an extraordinary quest for his identity, only to find that nothing is as it appears.

Racing to the Finish / Earnhardt Jr. Dale

Public ISBD Titre : Racing to the Finish Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Earnhardt Jr. Dale, Auteur Editeur : Nashville [USA] : Thomas Nelson edition Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 224 page ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7852-2161-6 Prix : 16 € Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : R Résumé : Racecar driver Earnhardt was at the top of his game—until a minor crash resulted in a concussion that would eventually end his 18-year career. In his only authorized book, Dale shares the inside track on his life and work, reflects on NASCAR, the loss of his dad, and his future as a broadcaster, businessperson, and family man. It was a seemingly minor crash at Michigan International Speedway in June 2016 that ended the day early for NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. What he didn’t know was that it would also end his driving for the year. He’d dealt with concussions before, but no two are the same. Recovery can be brutal, and lengthy. When Dale retired from professional stock car racing in 2017, he walked away from his career as a healthy man. But for years, he had worried that the worsening effects of multiple racing-related concussions would end not only his time on the track but his ability to live a full and happy life. Torn between a race-at-all-costs culture and the fear that something was terribly wrong, Earnhardt tried to pretend that everything was fine, but the private notes about his escalating symptoms that he kept on his phone reveal a vicious cycle: suffering injuries on Sunday, struggling through the week, then recovering in time to race again the following weekend. In this candid reflection, Earnhardt opens up for the first time about: The physical and emotional struggles he faced as he fought to close out his career on his own terms His frustration with the slow recovery from multiple racing-related concussions His admiration for the woman who stood by him through it all His determination to share his own experience so that others don’t have to suffer in silence Steering his way to the final checkered flag of his storied career proved to be the most challenging race and most rewarding finish of his life Racing to the Finish [texte imprimé] / Earnhardt Jr. Dale, Auteur . - Nashville [USA] : Thomas Nelson edition, 2019 . - 224 page.

The Separatists / Wiehl, Lis

Public ISBD Titre : The Separatists : A Newsmakers Novel Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Wiehl, Lis, Auteur Editeur : Nashville [USA] : Thomas Nelson edition Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 352 page ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7180-3769-7 Prix : 24 euro Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : R Résumé : A plot to break up the United States is at the center of Wiehl and Stuart’s rather predictable third and final Newsmakers novel (after 2016’s The Candidate). Erica Sparks, a broadcast journalist in New York, has risen to the top of her field in a desperate attempt to outrun her dreadful childhood. Her husband, Greg, is unhappy with his work, and her 13-year-old daughter, Jenny, feels neglected. It’s clear to readers, if not to Erica, that both these relationships will suffer. As Erica pursues a big story involving a well-financed group in North Dakota planning to make the state the centerpiece of a new country, she notices an inexplicable coldness in the eyes, speech, or demeanor of certain people she interviews. That turns out to be the mark of the devil—and bad guys are everywhere. The more she pokes around, the more people die. There’s not much in the way of mystery or thrills; the only questions are how Erica will stop the plot from coming to fruition and how high the body count will be. Agent: Todd Shuster, Zachary Shuster Harmsworth. (June) The Separatists : A Newsmakers Novel [texte imprimé] / Wiehl, Lis, Auteur . - Nashville [USA] : Thomas Nelson edition, 2017 . - 352 page.
