Jacob was looking forward to a carefree summer afternoon at the fair in his quiet Colorado town-until a brutal attack by bullies left him clinging to life. Abandoned by his alcoholic father and failed by the legal system, his attackers remained free, spreading their cruelty to those he loved. Desperate and alone, Jacob became the perfect target for a cold-blooded serial killer who saw in him a dark potential waiting to be shaped.Now, torn between the Christian values of his devoted Hispanic mother and his own growing thirst for revenge, Jacob faces an impossible choice in a disturbing spiral of violence and vengeance.Jacob's Bully is a gripping, psychologically charged debut novel by screenwriter David Brandt. Vividly cinematic and unyieldingly intense, this thriller weaves unexpected twists, harrowing moral dilemmas, and an unforgettable descent into darkness.
This book is a work of fiction, driven by true events, which are in my family history. My grandparents were European Jews who immigrated to Seattle, Washington, in 1920. They endured many challenges raising a family of six children during the Great Depression, but their community of faith, their family, and a trust in a great God helped them to overcome these challenges. Love, faith, and family can indeed bring hope and endurance in difficult times.

As the lead songwriter for Jacob's Ladder, the last thing Gabe Renard needs is a debilitating case of writer's block. After years of meaningless one night stands, he's finding it hard to pen the love-filled ballads the label is requesting. In an effort to clear his mind, Gabe takes his jeep off-roading in the North Georgia Mountains. When a wrong-turn leads to him getting stuck more than just creatively, he's forced to call for help. To his surprise, the "Ray" who has been sent by Hart Wreckers to his aid is actually "Rae"-a sexy-as-hell spitfire in a pair of tight-as-hell jeans. The combination of Rae's sassy mouth and rocking body might be the inspiration Gabe needs. But for the first time since becoming a rock star, his advances have been shot down. Reagan Hart has never been a fan of musicians. In fact, just the mention of one might cause her to throw a tire tool. Her disgust for them started when she was just eight and her mother ran off with a traveling country singer, and it only worsened when at seventeen, her rocker boyfriend knocked her up before blowing out of town. As a single mother taking care of her family's collision business, Rae doesn't have time for hook ups, much less a relationship. And if she did make time, a musician would be last on her list, even one as good-looking as Gabe Renard. Can Gabe find the words to prove not only to Rae, but himself, that she's the only one for him?
Jacobs Ladder was written in 1927 by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. A man falls in love with a girl but does not realize it until it's too late. She thinks of him as nothing more than a close friend, but he loves her in ways that words can not describe. She falls in love with someone else and leaves him heartbroken...

" JACOB FAITHFUL " is the first of a trio of novels which Captain Marryat wrote in the course of the year 1834, the other two being " Mr. Midshipman Easy ' and " Japhet in Search of a Father." They did not appear consecutively in three-volume form, for the collection of stories entitled " The Pacha of Many Tales' was the immediate successor of " Jacob Faithful," while the publication of " Midshipman Easy" and " Japhet" was deferred until 1836. Nevertheless the pages of the Metropolitan Magazine bore witness during the course of 1834 to the enormous industry of our author, perhaps accounted for by the expense to which he had been put in standing for Tower Hamlets, as already narrated in the introduction to " Peter Simple." Now that Captain Marryat is really launched on his literary career, he has no time or inclination to quarrel with his critics, or to give us those personal disquisitions as to his motives and his meanings which appeared in the earlier volumes. He goes in a straightforward way to the execution of his business, occupied solely with the adventures of his hero, and never allowing the course of his narrative to be embarrassed with explanatory or exculpatory passages. Moreover, he has learnt better than before the principles of his profession; his object is to interest the reader and carry out his novelistic design - the result being that "Jacob Faithful' is, from a technical standpoint, one of the best of his books, now and again reminding us of Smollett, and in the opinion of some critics representing a high-water mark in Marryat's literary career................ William Leonard Courtney (1850 - 1 November 1928) was an English author, born at Poona, India, and educated at Oxford. In 1873 he became headmaster of Somersetshire College, Bath, and in 1894 editor of the Fortnightly Review. He married in 1874 Cordelia Blanche Place and had seven children, she died in 1907. In 1911 he married Janet Elizabeth Hogarth (Janet E. Courtney), a scholar, writer and feminist, born in Barton-on-Humber (27 November 1865 - 24 September 1954)....... Captain Frederick Marryat (10 July 1792 - 9 August 1848) was a British Royal Navy officer, a novelist, and an acquaintance of Charles Dickens. He is noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story, particularly for his semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy (1836), for his children's novel The Children of the New Forest (1847), and for a widely used system of maritime flag signalling, known as Marryat's Code...........

Blaine Yorgason who wrote 80 books and 2 of them were made into movies. He wrote: "Doc, your book is a gripping page-turner I was fascinated by your character development, your accurate delving into 19th Century history, your efforts at portraying Native Americans and early Chinese emigrants as people rather than mere caricatures, your fast moving dialogue, and your surprise ending - which I did not see coming I am happy to recommend this volume to any who desire a good - and wholesome - read, where the good guy actually is a good guy. I have ridden on horseback in the Tetons where the Sioux have ridden. I have camped where they have camped and I saw the mountains as they saw them, and I have become a part of that area. My history is accurate with names and places in San Francisco, and Yreka. I lived in Yreka for eight years. The names of miners, and miner's claims and the history of Yreka are real. This book is clean and wholesome, written for LDS and Christians and for families. If you want a good feeling where you laugh and cry, then this book is written especially for you. Please just sit back and read this exciting book. There are three more Volumes in this Jacob Series. There is goodness in all people. I was inspired to write this book, and it is for any age of people to read. My youngest was a nine year old boy and my oldest was a 103 year old woman.
