DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R. Tolkien’s children. Inside would be a letter in a strange, spidery handwriting and a beautiful colored drawing or painting. The letters were from Father Christmas. They told wonderful tales of life at the North Pole: how the reindeer got loose and scattered presents all over the place; how the accident-prone North Polar Bear climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof of Father Christmas’s house into the dining room; how he broke the Moon into four pieces and made the Man in it fall into the back garden; how there were wars with the troublesome horde of goblins who lived in the caves beneath the house, and many more. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by Tolkien’s inventiveness in this classic holiday treat.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Street-smart, wickedly funny, piercingly perceptive, and eloquent enough to win a Pulitzer Prize, Mike Royko continues to have legions of devoted fans who still wonder “what Royko would have said” about some outrageous piece of news. One thing he hardly ever wrote or talked about, though, was his private life, especially the time he shared with his first wife, Carol. She was the love of his life, and her premature death at the age of forty-four shook him to his soul. Mike’s unforgettable public tribute to Carol was a heart-wrenching column written on what would have been her forty-fifth birthday, “November Farewell.” His most famous and requested piece, it was the end of an untold story. Royko in Love offers that story’s moving and utterly beguiling beginning in letters that “Mick” Royko, then a young airman, wrote to his childhood sweetheart, Carol Duckman. He had been in love with her since they were kids on Chicago’s northwest side, but she was a beauty and he was, well, anything but. Before leaving for Korea, he was crushed to hear she was getting married, but after returning to Blaine Air Force Base in Washington, he learned she was getting a divorce. Mick soon began to woo Carol in a stream of letters that are as fervent as they are funny. Collected here for the first time, Royko’s letters to Carol are a mixture of sweet seduction, sarcastic observations on military life, a Chicago kid’s wry view of rural folk, the pain of self-doubt, and the fear of losing what is finally so close, but literally so far. His only weapons against Carol’s many suitors were his pen, his ardor, and his brilliance. And they won her heart.

Do I show them to my dad and ask him what is appropriate to do with them? out of respect for mom and out of respect for those of us who survive her because they could have just as easily fallen into anyone else s possession, I will share with you these letters. -S. Cunningham, Chapter 23: Dear Diary Due to various circumstances, she may become overwhelmed by many responsibilities which she feels before God she must be able to meet. She doesn t want to complain, because she wants to be totally surrendered to God s will and respectful of her husband s leadership. If her husband does not sense the pressure his wife is under, and if she feels this is all God s will, then she has NO OUT. This can lead in extreme circumstances to mental disorders (temporary or permanent) or suicide. -Carol Cunningham, Chapter 9: Dear Tim Maybe I m insane and irrational in an attempt to explain my mother s death, but to me it makes more sense now. Now that I read mom s writing what she really felt. I read these letters and for the first time see her as more than a mother, but as a person with weaknesses and struggles like anyone else. -S. Cunningham, Chapter 23: Dear Diary

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In Elementary School, during the late 60's classmates called me "The Blob." At home, I was ridiculed daily by my mother, who imitated my looks to my siblings. The cruel guardian disassociated me from my real name. With the early loss of my beloved grandmother, I had no protection. Then, my brother's abuse hurt me primarily on multiple levels. One day, inside my bedroom closet I developed dissociative identity disorder, or Multiple Personality Disorder. I began hugging myself, promising to develop protective mechanisms to help me deal with daily trauma. It also helped me tolerate cruel, insulting behaviors by believing I could rely on my alternate universe to help me soothe my inner pain. When I recognized how much better I felt, I could appropriate tolerance by relegating all my abuses to another part of my mind. Later on, following a terrifying bout with homelessness, my last personality emerged to tell my story, proving forgiveness was the component that would ultimately rest my trauma. I am most honored to present to you Letters to Carol.
