| converse with writing on them: Callie Awakens Rip Converse, 2021-06-22 MS-13 is snatching young girls off the streets of Fort Myers for the sex trade and they're doing it with seeming impunity until one evening they run into an unlikely Samaritan; a sixteen-year-old girl, just 5 feet tall, riding a Ducati Monster 796, who also happens to be a gifted student of the Israeli martial art of Krav Maga.Callie is two years ahead of her classmates and socially isolated from her peers by her genius IQ and the principled, ambitious, self-determined approach that she brings to everything she does. She's determined to become a commercial ship captain and after her father, who's a shrimp boat captain, refuses to support her career choice in any way, she moves to Boca Grande and into the home of a wealthy aunt who empowers her in ways she'd never imagined. Callie gets a job on a commercial ferry to advance her sea time and also starts training in the brutal martial art of Krav Maga to help her compensate for her tiny stature.When she returns home in the Fall and interrupts an attempted abduction and takes down two gang members in the process, she and her family become targets of the ruthless gang and she finds herself in over her head.Fearing for Callie's life and the lives of her family, Aunt Nancy gets in touch with Jesse McDermitt and Billy Rainwater (two of Wayne Stinnett's iconic characters) and its game on with Callie, Billy, and Eva Dahan against MS-13. Callie will survive, it's a series after all, but at what cost to her and those around her?Callie is not some woke snowflake who needs others to tell her what to think. She's a positive, quirky, hardworking, principled, unstoppable force of her own design who's unafraid to take less travelled roads and do whatever it takes to accomplish her goals. |
| converse with writing on them: Chuck Taylor, All Star Abe Aamidor, 2006-03-02 The true story of a man, a company, a sport, and a nation. In 1921, Converse hired 20-year-old Chuck Taylor as a salesman, sparking a nearly 50-year career that defined the Converse All Star basketball shoe. Although his name is on the label of the legendary All Stars, which have been worn by hundreds of millions, little is known about the man behind the name. For this biography, Abe Aamidor went on a three-year quest to learn the true story of Chuck Taylor. The search took him across the country, tracking down leads, separating fact from fiction, and discovering that the truth—warts and all—was much more interesting than the myth. Chuck Taylor was a basketball player who also served as a wartime coach with the US Army Air Forces and organized thousands of high school and college basketball clinics. He was a true “ambassador of basketball” in Europe and South America as well as all over the United States. And he was, to be sure, a consummate marketing genius who was inducted into the Sporting Goods Hall of Fame and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. “A fascinating study on a pioneer . . . and an instructive look at the roots of a billion-dollar industry.” —American Way magazine |

Agnes Deans Cameron was an extraordinary woman who was ahead by a century. Born in Victoria in 1863, she was the first female school principal in the province, but she worked tirelessly to achieve work equality and voting rights for women. One of Canada's most well known writers of her time, she put western Canada on the map through her writing, which was published internationally including in the Saturday Evening Post. She was also a trailblazer in sports, becoming the first “Lady Centurion” in the West. A consummate trailblazer, in the summer of 1906, Cameron travelled 10,000 miles down the Mackenzie River and out into the Beaufort Sea—something no other European woman had done—in one short season. Cameron was named one of the top 150 most significant individuals in the history of the province of British Columbia. This is the first book commemorating her life. |

| converse with writing on them: Converse in the Spirit Kevin Fischer, 2004 Underlining the importance to both of a living creative and spiritual tradition, Converse in the Spirit argues that the relationship between Blake and Boehme was a meeting of like minds that transcended place and time, that each regarded himself as part of a community of vision and aspiration, and believed that any predominant form of thought and understanding was only partial. Through this, Boehme is used to illuminate the more esoteric aspects of Blake, and Blake those of Boehme. Their writings are not a simple or direct description on the movements of divinity, nor of what divinity is or is not, but a medium for approaching it, and for participating in the creation of the sacred, the giving of personal, individual form to the divine. |

No matter what happens, though, he'll have to get his hands dirty. |

| converse with writing on them: Following the Curve of Time Cathy Converse, 2011-02-01 Cathy Converse has given us a welcome commentary on Capi Blanchet and her world, one that enriches our understanding of both. —The Tyee A paperback edition of the BC Book Award–nominated biography of Capi Blanchet, the author of the BC coastal classic, The Curve of Time. After her husband died in 1926 from a suspected drowning, Capi Blanchet spent every summer cruising BC’s west coast with her five children and their dog in the family’s 25-foot boat. The Curve of Time is the book Capi wrote chronicling these adventures, and it remains a bestseller and a classic in the annals of nautical literature. But little is known about the rest of her life. Cathy Converse found herself asking: who was this skipper, this mother, this writer? In this biography, Converse offers insiders' recollections of this enigmatic woman, along with family photos and updated information about the villages, inlets and islands described in The Curve of Time. Following the Curve of Time is essential reading for anyone who has ever been captivated by the book, the West Coast or Capi herself. |

| converse with writing on them: Strung Out Erin Khar, 2020-02-25 “This is a story she needed to tell; and the rest of the country needs to listen.” — New York Times Book Review “This vital memoir will change how we look at the opioid crisis and how the media talks about it. A deeply moving and emotional read, STRUNG OUT challenges our preconceived ideas of what addiction looks like.” —Stephanie Land, New York Times bestselling author of Maid In this deeply personal and illuminating memoir about her fifteen-year struggle with heroin, Khar sheds profound light on the opioid crisis and gives a voice to the over two million people in America currently battling with this addiction. Growing up in LA, Erin Khar hid behind a picture-perfect childhood filled with excellent grades, a popular group of friends and horseback riding. After first experimenting with her grandmother’s expired painkillers, Khar started using heroin when she was thirteen. The drug allowed her to escape from pressures to be perfect and suppress all the heavy feelings she couldn’t understand. This fiercely honest memoir explores how heroin shaped every aspect of her life for the next fifteen years and details the various lies she told herself, and others, about her drug use. With enormous heart and wisdom, she shows how the shame and stigma surrounding addiction, which fuels denial and deceit, is so often what keeps addicts from getting help. There is no one path to recovery, and for Khar, it was in motherhood that she found the inner strength and self-forgiveness to quit heroin and fight for her life. Strung Out is a life-affirming story of resilience while also a gripping investigation into the psychology of addiction and why people turn to opioids in the first place. |
