Description

A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.

If you care about the direction our country is headed and if you have a burden for the lost people of this world you need to take an afternoon to read this book. Pretty amazing Orwell called it to a tee...truth is stranger than fiction! This clever piece compares and contrasts Orwell's work while challenging the reader to keep aware and take a second look at the status-quo...we all need to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. From here on out our freedoms may be ripped out from under our feet and people will be too constrained by 'fear' to do anything about it...the tactic of "playing the game" while making people wake up by feeding them thought provoking scenarios is the only way to break the social norms we see today and get people to think critically again. Find a way to crack the code to awaken the brainwashed masses...the facts are out there, go find them!" ~ Kenneth Heath, New Mexico </td> <td style="width:20.28%;padding:.75pt;height:211.5pt;" width="20%"> </td> </tr></tbody></table> "A fascinating look at Orwell... and psychiatry. This book provides a unique look at George Orwell, as well as a fascinating look into one of the world's current greatest frauds - the psychiatric industry. There is no other medical industry in the world that actually votes to decide what is and isn't a disease, rather than looking through a microscope. Blaire (a pseudonym) takes us on a journey from Orwell into the depths of the psychiatric industry, drugs such as Prozac, and a look at schizophrenia, obedience, disobedience, paranoia and mind control - and the state of current affairs. It's a short, fast read, but nonetheless an eye opener. " "Other researchers that support the ideas presented in this book include Thomas Szasz, and Robert Whitaker's new book Anatomy of an Epidemic." "The worst of what things could become if we're not forever vigilant." ~ Jan Irvin, of GnosticMedia.com, author of "The Holy Mushroom" <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width:675pt;border-collapse:collapse;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="900"><tbody><tr style="height:78.75pt;"><td style="width:82%;padding:.75pt;height:78.75pt;" width="82%"> "It is compelling. ...
