Close to the Edge
Wendell Sanger burns for the touch of young skin and the feel of young girls. He stalks his prey with the methodical organization that he uses in his business. He feels neither shame nor remorse, and he feels no satisfaction except for that brief moment when he is gorging himself on his victim. Ernest Caldwell is the police chief of Mossberg, Arkansas. His only companions are his bottle of Jack Daniels and his deputy. The townspeople see him as a lecherous boor of a man with no morals or ability, but he does work cheap and there is little crime in Mossberg. Wendell walks so close to the edge of sanity that he passes unnoticed. Ernest walks so close to the edge of corruption that he has no credibility. The murder of Kelly Settle will change both menas lives forever as one manas obsession becomes the other manas redemption.
Close to the Edge
At its rhythmic, beating heart, Close to the Edge asks whether hip hop can change the world. Hip hop-rapping, beat-making,b-boying, deejaying, graffiti-captured the imagination of the teenage Sujatha Fernandes in the 1980s, inspiring her and politicizing her along the way. Years later, armed with mc-ing skills and an urge to immerse herself in global hip hop, she embarks on a journey into street culture around the world. From the south side of Chicago to the barrios of Caracas and Havana and the sprawling periphery of Sydney, she grapples with questions of global voices and local critiques, and the rage that underlies both. An engrossing read and an exhilarating travelogue, this punchy book also asks hard questions about dispossession, racism, poverty and the quest for change through a microphone.
So Close to Amazing
This is a book celebrating the incredible, awesome, special individual within each of us. It’s also a book for anyone who has ever mismatched her shoes or trimmed her own bangs when a professional might have been a better choice or added too much soap to the washer and watched it overflow. (Not that KariAnne Wood has ever done any of these things.) Fans of The Magnolia Story and The Pioneer Woman will love this debut memoir from the beloved Thistlewood Farms blogger. So Close to Amazing is a collection of hilarious and heartfelt reflections on getting it almost right―and how, instead of giving up, we can choose to simply embrace our real selves right where we are. It’s a story of transparency and honesty and recognizing that perfection is completely overemphasized and overrated. It’s about grace and learning from mistakes and rejoicing in every victory, no matter how small. Because when you find joy in the “you” God created you to be, you’ll discover the amazing that was there all along. Contains beautiful DIY project ideas anyone can do, whether you’re Pinterest perfect or craft challenged—homemade signs, centerpieces, recipe walls, and more!
