A woman must face her husband’s secrets when he is suddenly attacked in this “superior domestic thriller” of envy and literary ambition (Publishers Weekly, starred review). A biracial couple with two young children, the Campbells face as many challenges as any family in Liverpool. But Jane tends to let her husband, Leon—a bestselling thriller writer—fight their battles. Averse to conflict, she prefers to focus on what seems to be going right: her two precious children; her occasionally rocky but still loving marriage; and while her manuscripts keep getting rejected, she enjoys teaching creative writing. But then Leon is brutally attacked in their own driveway, and Jane is forced to face reality. With Leon in a coma, Jane needs to take matters into her own hands—and open her eyes to the secrets that have been kept from her all this time. Suddenly, she sees her life in a shocking new light. But if she wants to find out who hurt her husband, she will have to pay attention to every unpleasant detail

Doctors removed Jake Olson’s left eye at ten months old. When he was twelve, after years of radiation and chemotherapy, the cancer took his right eye as well. That’s when Jake’s story really began.

Jake’s story became one of the most recognized pieces in the network’s history, earning an award, instantly viewed by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

This groundbreaking volume introduces readers to the key concepts and debates in deaf studies, offering perspectives on the relevance and richness of deaf ways of being in the world. In Open Your Eyes, leading and emerging scholars, the majority of whom are deaf, consider physical and cultural boundaries of deaf places and probe the complex intersections of deaf identities with gender, sexuality, disability, family, and race. Together, they explore the role of sensory perception in constructing community, redefine literacy in light of signed languages, and delve into the profound medical, social, and political dimensions of the disability label often assigned to deafness. Moving beyond proving the existence of deaf culture, Open Your Eyes shows how the culture contributes vital insights on issues of identity, language, and power, and, ultimately, challenges our culture’s obsession with normalcy.

The Apocalypse, Armageddon, Judgment Day, Doomsday, cataclysmic disasters on a Biblical scale...the End of Days as we know it. This book is your guide to navigating the revelation, and the Rosetta Stone for deciphering this once-every-25,800-year galactic alignment cycle set to commence on December 21, 2012. Open Your Eyes: To 2012 and Beyond will lay the foundation and build a framework around 2012 to help you ascertain the answers to the question that’s synonymous with ambiguity: When will the world as we know it end? Open Your Eyes will literally do just that—open your eyes—and release you from your programmed mind in order to shed light and truth on controversial subjects bound together by fate, not coincidence. Part self-help, part current affairs, this book provides an investigation of a myriad correlating prophesies and events that synergistically corroborate one another. Each piece of the End of Days puzzle comes into view by the book’s end to reveal a crystal clear picture of what is about to occur with our fragile world. This complete picture will manifest an epiphany within you. Many topics discussed here have remained undisclosed to the public, are sensitive and not publicly indoctrinated. Trained for war by the U.S. Marines Corps infantry and then turned pacifist, author Drew R. Maras raises the flag of awareness on the duality of man and the importance of peace. So, if you want some answers—or just a provocative, powerful ride—this book is just for you.

Mia It was so close, I'd tasted it-the freedom. But the only thing I could taste now was the end. Over the last two years, I'd let all outside forces dictate my life, my feelings, my head. I'd allowed everyone to control what my punishment should be for all my wrong-doings. I'd been tested and learned my lesson.I'd paid my dues and suffered long enough. Because in the end, even the once-upon-a-damned deserved to be happy too. Ollie How far are you willing to go? I'd asked myself this very question countless times. But never in my wildest dreams thought I'd go back in time, chasing ghosts from my past for a chance to save our future.So, there was no limit. No boundaries. I'd cross time, the world, my morals. Yes, I'd even double-cross myself.So, how far would I go? The answer had always been simple.I'd go an eternity plus a day past crestfallen.
