Here he is, husband and father, scruffy romantic, a shambolic scholar--a man adrift in the wake of his wife's sudden, accidental death. And there are his two sons who like him struggle in their London apartment to face the unbearable sadness that has engulfed them. The father imagines a future of well-meaning visitors and emptiness, while the boys wander, savage and unsupervised. In this moment of violent despair they are visited by Crow--antagonist, trickster, goad, protector, therapist, and babysitter. This self-described "sentimental bird," at once wild and tender, who "finds humans dull except in grief," threatens to stay with the wounded family until they no longer need him. As weeks turn to months and the pain of loss lessens with the balm of memories, Crow's efforts are rewarded and the little unit of three begins to recover: Dad resumes his book about the poet Ted Hughes; the boys get on with it, grow up. Part novella, part polyphonic fable, part essay on grief, Max Porter's extraordinary debut combines compassion and bravura style to dazzling effect. Full of angular wit and profound truths, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers is a startlingly original and haunting debut by a significant new talent.

After the sudden, undetermined death of her son, the author takes you through the journey of how this changed her life from day one to now, ten years after her son's death. The content of the book is intended to take you through healing in a in a positive manner, seeking your true purpose through such devastating life challenge. She was inspired to write this book through many who found hope and inspiration by witnessing her journey.Long Description | Sit back, grab a cup of coffee and read through this book of healing and hope written in a way that is "conversational". When a child dies suddenly, without any medical rationale, one is challenged to find ways to move through this journey. The questions of "why" have to turn into, let's make a plan on how we will get through this rather than focusing on something that has no answers. The I "can do this" is what made us learn to carry the oppressively heavy weight of such a loss. What is intriguing about this journey is that I learned it is indeed possible to get through it. In fact, life can be good, joyful and meaningful once again. It is up to us to find the good in our tragedy. We are grateful to be able to do this by the grace of God. Our Faith plays a huge role in our ability to find the best of what life has to offer.Finding my purpose in life came through the struggling and asking of "why" do I need to go through this. The "responses" simply seemed to be, because you can. Also, what has become clear is that my suffering is intended to help others. When we help others, we help ourselves. This suffering made me realize that I am far stronger than I ever thought I was, but it is through faith, prayer, family and friends that allows me to see through the darkness. It is my purpose to be a "light" for those who can't find it on their own. There is much to gain from being in such a storm and I have learned that when I'm feeling low, tomorrow will be a better day. The saying my son left for us "Live by Faith, One Day at a Time" has been the most powerful of reminders. We only have the day we are in, yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn't here yet..live in the moment and we do so in the best way we can. Our minds are powerful tools, so we must find positives in our lives to carry us through. We have control of very little in life, but we have control over how we choose to handle the difficulties in life. My prayer for the readers is that they too will find their own purpose and ways to find joy in life despite the dark they may now see most of the time. Dealing with a profound loss is incredibly difficult, but we are stronger than our situations. I am here to tell you, this is so true. I would have never believed it myself.My hope is that if there is only one thing in this book helps you, it has accomplished all that it needed to. Reading my journal, which is how the content of this book came about, was very difficult yet it reminded me of where I was and where I am today, ten years later. It reminded me of why so many wanted me to write this in a book form. While I resisted the task for many years, timing is everything and coming up on the ten year anniversary of our son's reward to eternal life, the timing is good now.Shattered hearts never heal to be the same, but the pieces come back together little by little and results in the "new" you, the you that is intended to be if you can seek the lessons to learn from struggles in life and see the good in each and every one. Nothing we experience is made to break us, our experiences are intended to "make us" who we are meant to be.Be that pillar of strength for those who need you. Make good of your suffering and live your best life.

Danhoff writes in a unique style combining prose, poetry and physics. The book is an experiment. He attempts to challenge mans complacency through social-political commentary and word play; free mind play. He succeeds in communicating his theme: intelligence, courage and morality. This is not an essay book to read. His thoughts merit consideration especially the more controversial ideas. Danhoff intended to build the basic foundation on the bedrock of prose, decorated with the art of poetry topped off with theoretical temporal physics. The author considers writing a learning experience and takes his responsibility as a writer very seriously. Danhoff hopes readers will find his work entertaining, educational and enlightening.

Amazon's Best Biographies and Memoirs of the Year List A moving celebration of what Bill Hayes calls "the evanescent, the eavesdropped, the unexpected" of life in New York City, and an intimate glimpse of his relationship with the late Oliver Sacks. "A beautifully written once-in-a-lifetime book, about love, about life, soul, and the wonderful loving genius Oliver Sacks, and New York, and laughter and all of creation."--Anne Lamott Bill Hayes came to New York City in 2009 with a one-way ticket and only the vaguest idea of how he would get by. But, at forty-eight years old, having spent decades in San Francisco, he craved change. Grieving over the death of his partner, he quickly discovered the profound consolations of the city's incessant rhythms, the sight of the Empire State Building against the night sky, and New Yorkers themselves, kindred souls that Hayes, a lifelong insomniac, encountered on late-night strolls with his camera. And he unexpectedly fell in love again, with his friend and neighbor, the writer and neurologist Oliver Sacks, whose exuberance--"I don't so much fear death as I do wasting life," he tells Hayes early on--is captured in funny and touching vignettes throughout. What emerges is a portrait of Sacks at his most personal and endearing, from falling in love for the first time at age seventy-five to facing illness and death (Sacks died of cancer in August 2015). Insomniac City is both a meditation on grief and a celebration of life. Filled with Hayes's distinctive street photos of everyday New Yorkers, the book is a love song to the city and to all who have felt the particular magic and solace it offers.

As heard on NPR's This American Life “Absorbing . . . Though it's non-fiction, The Feather Thief contains many of the elements of a classic thriller.” —Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air “One of the most peculiar and memorable true-crime books ever.” —Christian Science Monitor A rollicking true-crime adventure and a captivating journey into an underground world of fanatical fly-tiers and plume peddlers, for readers of The Stranger in the Woods, The Lost City of Z, and The Orchid Thief. On a cool June evening in 2009, after performing a concert at London's Royal Academy of Music, twenty-year-old American flautist Edwin Rist boarded a train for a suburban outpost of the British Museum of Natural History. Home to one of the largest ornithological collections in the world, the Tring museum was full of rare bird specimens whose gorgeous feathers were worth staggering amounts of money to the men who shared Edwin's obsession: the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying. Once inside the museum, the champion fly-tier grabbed hundreds of bird skins—some collected 150 years earlier by a contemporary of Darwin's, Alfred Russel Wallace, who'd risked everything to gather them—and escaped into the darkness. Two years later, Kirk Wallace Johnson was waist high in a river in northern New Mexico when his fly-fishing guide told him about the heist. He was soon consumed by the strange case of the feather thief. What would possess a person to steal dead birds? Had Edwin paid the price for his crime? What became of the missing skins? In his search for answers, Johnson was catapulted into a years-long, worldwide investigation. The gripping story of a bizarre and shocking crime, and one man's relentless pursuit of justice, The Feather Thief is also a fascinating exploration of obsession, and man's destructive instinct to harvest the beauty of nature.
