Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sheppard's Inn was a quiet senior-living facility where people spent the remainder of their golden years relaxing as they socialized, watched television, played checkers, or read a good book. Some of the young at heart spent their time reminiscing about 'the good old days.' Others would just lie in soft, comfortable chairs dreaming of the future when they would join their spouses who had passed over to a place of peace, tranquility, and painless existence.All things were good at Sheppard's Inn until everything began to change. At first, the events were subtle. The building's heater struggled to keep up with the sudden chills that passed through the hallways. A sickening smell would seep through every nook and cranny. The lights would flicker off and on, and the televisions would go blank. But nothing was worse than the screeching sounds heard during the night--sounds not normally created in the world of the living!Adam Simmons, his father (a former police detective), and his mother (a high school drama teacher) were trying to live under the radar.

Neuware - From the star of TLC's hit reality show Little People BIG World comes a revelatory memoir that will inspire those who have long followed the Roloff's and newcomers alike. 'A Little Me by Amy Roloff is a feel-good, inspirational memoir about a remarkable woman who addresses challenges head-on with a positive outlook and deep faith.' - New York Journal of Books'God doesn't make mistakes.' For Amy Roloff, star of TLC's hit reality show Little People, BIG World, her father's words would repeatedly serve as an anchor, reminding her of her inherent worth and purpose, whenever feelings of insecurity and inadequacy surfaced and threatened to overwhelm her. In A Little Me, Amy shares what it was like growing up with achondroplasia dwarfism, how she struggled to overcome obstacles both physical and emotional-navigating the average-size world as a little person, dealing with a serious illness as a young girl, bullying, and issues of body image and unachievable beauty ideals-while learning, as we all must, to accept herself for who she is. Finally allowing herself to be vulnerable enough to open up to others, she learned that it's worth risking possible rejection for a chance at genuine relationships. Amy's memoir is an inspiring and at times heart-wrenching account of resilience and the strength of the human spirit to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.…
