1000 tulosta hakusanalla Jannie Putter
A strikingly honest and disarming memoir from an ex-porn star and reality television personality who describes her descent into addiction to sex, drugs, and alcohol—and her ultimate path toward recovery.Drunk and high, holed up in a hotel room with a beautiful blonde she barely knew, Jennie Ketcham was thirty-six hours away from entering rehab. Her on-camera alter ego, Penny Flame, was a rising star. Her personal life, however, had been getting worse for years and finally hit an all-time low. After her parents’ divorce, she lost her virginity at thirteen and began a game of initiating boys her age into manhood. For the fleeting moments she spent in bed with them, she got to be the center of attention. Eventually, Jennie found porn—that enticing world of immediate gratification, endless drugs, and seemingly endless money—and became Penny Flame. Divorced from her feelings, tempted into a lifestyle she couldn’t afford, financially or emotionally, she entered Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew to boost her career. But when Dr. Drew and his staff insisted she appear using her real name, the once indestructible walls she had built around herself began to burn down. Jennie candidly recounts her struggles: confusing sex with self-worth, addiction with love, detachment with strength. Ultimately, I Am Jennie is a tale of a woman who considers herself a work in progress but who finally understands that the only person she can truly afford to be is herself.

Paradise: warm, wet, wild. It's the locale of which dreams are made, a once-forgotten Pacific-Ocean dependency of the British crown, rejuvenated in recent years by an influx of new ideas and old money. Jonnie Comet's serial adventure collection, A Tale Of Two Paradises, lets the rest of the world in on what life is really like in a remote tropical archipelago at the turn of the 21st century. Sweet Janine Hewlett is just a normal 2nd-form girl growing up in the most exotic territory on earth, taking it all in stride. When her friend Sally introduces her to older, desirable Charlie, the inevitable enlightenment soon leads to a surprise birthday gift... and the social and emotional entanglements afterwards. Both Janine and Charlie will have to alter their attitudes and expectations to have a go at a real relationship. Intelligent and conservative, young Janine narrates her own coming-of-age saga from wide-eyed innocence to healthy scepticism with modesty, eagerness, compassion... and startling candour. Read on, if you dare, but remember: in Paradise, all things are possible.

It had been foolish to stay but now there was no choice. It was anyone's guess what the outcome would be. Nothing was as it should be. Oddly, the Confederate troops were pouring in from the north and Union troops were marching in from the south. They arrived in droves. The town was not prepared for what happened during the early days of the summer, 1863.Jennie, a young local girl, did her best to keep up with the demand for bread and water and medical care for the troops. Her brothers were scattered, her sister would soon be having a baby, her mother was not bearing up well and Jack, her intended, had not been heard from in weeks.It was a time and place that would be recorded in American history forever. A time marked by the largest number of casualties in the Civil War. It was Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a small, unremarkable town; an easily forgotten town that would live in infamy and one that history would never forget.Of the almost 50,000 casualties of that encounter in early July, only one civilian was killed. This is her story. The story of Jennie Wade, a dedicated young woman thrown into the middle of one of Americans' most tragic times.
