Book Review: Chains Around the Grass by Naomi Ragen

In light of author Ragen's own encounters experiencing childhood in an ethnically blended low-pay lodging venture in the Rockaways, this novel opens a window into the clashing universe of the Markowitz family as they battle to bring home the bacon in 1950s New York City.

Chains Around the Grass by Naomi Ragen

Chains Around the Grass fills in as wake up call about men who think beyond practical boundaries while scanting the gifts they as of now have, such as cherishing families. Russian-conceived David Markowitz envisions "fitting in consistently. . . . Being a normal person . . . what's more, American," which, he considers, requires his being rich and effective. In 1953, persuaded that satisfaction is practically around the bend, he offers his little store and purchases a yellow cab, to be the first of an armada. Be that as it may, as Dave starts constructing his organization, he chooses the family ought to move from their home in New Jersey to the less expensive undertakings in New York. Spouse Ruth, senior child Jesse, little girl Sara, and infant Louis, not excited with the move, attempt to change. For the first year, life isn't too terrible: the business flourishes, the neighbors are friendly. At that point a rougher component moves in.

David Markowitz exchanges his religious personality for the guaranteed gold of America, trusting that "on the off chance that you truly needed to, in the event that you worked your can off, you couldn't just escape Brooklyn, however get Brooklyn out of you." In the wake of being conned into making a terrible venture with Mr Hesse that abandons him and his family monetarily and sincerely bankrupt, David kicks the bucket abruptly. Without precedent for her life, his better half, Ruth, must assume sole liability for her three kids, something that appears to be overwhelmingly troublesome.

As Ruth battles to hold the family together, six-year-old Sara goes to the neighborhood Jewish school and discovers encouragement in religion and training, while Jesse drops out to begin a business profession—however at 16 is overpowered by his obligations and separates. The family survives, yet nobody can overlook David.

Chains Around the Grass is a picture of a Jewish-American family that sparkles with warmth, delicacy, and fearlessness when disaster changes the lives of all who are deserted. An astonishing moving book for expectation, quality, part demonstrating and trust.

The only problem is that the villain has completely disappeared.

Blake Greenwood wants nothing more than to catch Otto and return to the present with Addie, the love of his life. When his mother goes missing as well, he leaves Addie alone with his half-brother to save his family. As the future begins to change in unexpected ways, Blake and Addie begin to question everything. Can they find Otto and save their relationship before what they had disappears for good?

Book Review: Addictarium by Nicole D'Settฤ“mi

ABOUT THE BOOK


When creative spirit, and inhabitant of bohemia--Danielle Martino--starts to lose her eyesight from shooting a poisoned bag of heroin, she flees to New York City for surgery, and then to rehab. However, the two-year intensive drug recovery therapy program is more intense than anything she could have anticipated, and Danielle finds herself searching for purpose, sanity, and sobriety in this “addictarium,”--or as she likes to call it; a house of broken souls.


EXCERPT

"Come on, Danielle!" Karen shouted over the raging winds, which were both loud and aggressive, due to April's unpredictable weather. We were scurrying down the wooden planks along the boardwalk, five minutes from our community. Karen, who was drenched in a thick, mauve turtle neck, and a pair of furry, suede boots, ran awkwardly about two feet ahead of me, her left leg shorter than the right making her look funny. She laughed loudly, nearly tumbling over, her voice ringing through the air, despite the howl of the heavy winds. I followed, out of breath, trying to inhale the last of a cheap, fat menthol cigar. Black-and-Mild’s, the box said, and they were delicious. Strong, and intense, scorching the back of my throat, just the way I needed something to be. We continued to run, as we laughed even harder. Tear drops were streaming down my face from my watery eyes, with the sun luminous and bright, but the weather still quite cold, at least for spring.

"I think I see her!" she shouted, referring to our mutual acquaintance August Delgado, who as always, was surrounded by a small cluster of people, all of them off into the distance. They were all people who lived in our Therapeutic Community; a long-term addiction-recovery program, named Safe Haven Village, or The Village as I liked to call it, because Greenwich had nothing on this place, it was a complete circus, a regular freak show by all definitions of the word.

We both squinted to see further, but we didn't really know what we were seeing. We were higher than one of these New York City skyscrapers, tripping on acid that August had given us. Rockaway beach was five minutes from our community, so we decided to search for our dear friend, sure we had found her, but not so sure it was actually her, given the acid was really starting to kick in. As we neared just a little bit closer, we began to laugh giddily, as we could now see her waving erratically, heading towards us with two black guys, one of her comrades several sizes larger than any of us. We ran fast and furiously towards the rocks they were situated on, screaming and throwing our arms everywhere, as if none of us had seen the other for days on end. She caught up to us, moments later, all of us panting and out of breath, as we hugged one another, laughing gleefully.

"This acid's pretty wavy dude," August remarked, her mouth against my ear as she embraced me, "very mellow, it's like it takes ya on a long car ride into the country, a long car ride with excellent scenery," she added, as I could feel a slow, lazy smile spreading across her face, and I knew the acid was clearly hitting her as well. I felt her lumpy dreads in my hands, and realized I was still holding onto her. We let go of each other, and we both laughed again.

"What's the plan for tonight?" she asked us, looking back and forth between the two of us, her lively eyes twinkling with mischief. Oh, Karen and I, we had plans alright. We looked at each other and smiled, but said nothing.

"Okay we'll leave it at that," she told us grinning, as the two guys finally caught up to where we were standing. I smiled and said hello, and we all slapped hands.

"We actually have to get ready," Karen told her, as we lit a couple of cigarettes, and passed them between the five of us.

August slid her hand into her grey hooded jacket, three sizes two big, and pulled out a little piece of plastic cellophane. "Here's two more," she said blowing smoke through her nose, and then, finally out of her mouth. She handed me the small packet, and I laid it in my palm, delicately sizing it up.
"You women are crazy, I mean we are in treatment after all," Stefan, one of the guys, with a crisp, British accent, said. The other guy nodded in agreement, and then laughed, as he watched me eyeball Stefan's hand, raising an eyebrow. Between his fingers, he held a joint, which I already knew was filled with K-2, a new, hip form of synthetic weed, that no treatment programs were testing for.

"What? This? This is nothing!" Stefan said with a dismissive hand, but even as he said it, he had to laugh at his own audacity.

"They don't test for acid either," I pointed out.

His friend shook his head, "yeah, but that shit crazy, yo. Put you straight in the ward!"

"Thanks," Karen piped in impatiently, "but we have to get ready now."

"Have fun, you two," August told us, picking at a barrette that was attached to one of her dreads.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Nicole D'Settฤ“mi is a 34 year old creative writer, poet, and artist from Niagara Falls, New York. Born in a tiny town bordering Canada only five minutes from the legendary falls, Nicole says she had an eye for beauty at a young age, and that included poetry. She can remember from an age as young as six, being selected as part of the city’s "young authors club." She was interested in lyric poetry from the time she was a pre-teen into her early-to-mid-twenties, and moved into creative writing and fiction in her late twenties and early thirties.

Addictarium was penned while Nicole spent time in an intensive rehabilitation center due to a devastating heroin addiction, and while this is a fictional memoir, many of the themes and tales are based around her own experiences during her two year stay in the notorious Queens, New York “therapeutic community.”

In April of 2010, Nicole lost 95% of her eyesight due to a poisoned bag of heroin she had injected, and was shipped to Manhattan’s Bellevue hospital 1,600 miles away from her city at the time, which was in South Florida, where she had been attending an art institute for photojournalism. She was forced to drop the courses, as she began a new, sober life in New York City.

Nicole was also separated from her fiancรฉ and co-conspirator in 2010, while recuperating in Daytop Village. At that time, she was introduced to her current fiancรฉ, who is also mentioned throughout the novel as the substance abuse counselor she fell in love with.

Today, both artists run a modest business creatively assisting others, and continue to hone their fine arts abilities, in their art studio and living quarters, residing in Pleasant Valley, New York. With their creative assistance-based company; LCDS Creative Services, they’ve dedicated a division to publishing novels, named; The Book House of Seviles. They look forward to venturing further into the writing and publishing world, in 2017.

Top 7 Inspiring Reasons To Take Up Crucial Risks Now

Hi Readers! how have it been at your end? how has the storms of life been to you? hope you are gradually sailing through. Today on inspirational library, we will be sharing top 7 mind lifting reasons why you should take risks in life and make yourself a great person.

Hmm! what is a RISK, have you ever been in a situation were risk taking is your last option?
So lets start by unveiling every keyword on the post, first of all, Risk as defined by the wikisearch is "the potential of gaining or losing something of value"
That's what we will be talking about, as so many people try to neglect the potential of gaining but all they think about is losing something!
It hurts that this has gone a long way to dismantle so many people's life and has crumbled so many dreams! Why? Because from an inspirational library quote, "they decide not to be risk takers" Hence, the following are powerful 7 inspiring reasons why you should take risks in life and make yourself a great person.
Remember in Geena Davis words, he said; “If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.”

Top 7 Inspiring Reasons To Take Up Risks Now

1. Risk Takers Are Worthy Winners
Haven defined the simple meaning of risk, being a risk taker means you are that sole individual that makes crucial decision even at the brink of losing all! That's

what winners are for, winners are individuals that told themselves that "THIS IS IT, NO TURNING BACK"- Home Alone 2
Let me be frank to you dear friend; if you take the risk with a half-hearted approach cause you want to test this reason, you will just be wasting your time, you’ll end up disappointing yourself and dream. Have a Unique Determination today and be a worthy Winner

2. Tomorrow Maybe Too Late
One healthy reason why you should take that risk today and even now is that tomorrow maybe too late, let's take it this way, every one gets to fright at the decision

of taking a risk because it can make us lose everything or gain everything. So in the race of having this fear, people tends to procrastinate and push all decisions to

tomorrow. I can still remember this lovely inspirational punchline in Asa's song that says "Tomorrow Never Come"
So dear reader, Although there is a chance that taking a risk can end badly, you'll never know if taking it at the 1st place has made you a success already. Recent big dreams are now on people tomorrow's list and we are still waiting for tomorrow to come, stop procrastinating take up the responsibility even the next hour maybe too late.


3. Risk Unlock Your Hidden Potentials
Wow! What do you think? I so much love this reason, its my best reason why I take risks no matter the outcome! You will never know your potentials, or how industrious, intelligent, talented, awesome till taking risk with yourself is your last option!
No matter how grieved about taking a risk is, still our actual purpose of being alive, lies in tackling that risk now. When you do this even you will be marveled at yourself on how you could do that, sometimes we belittle ourselves when it comes to risk talking, unlock the inner you, like we can all say, "its not the end of the world".



4. Risk Taking Is A Mind Builder
Risk taking like I said earlier is that part of your life when you need to take a move, which can either land you on a fertile ground or a rugged valley.
See friends, let's really brainstorm on these Leaders!

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates , Mother Teresa  and Zidane  ( who helped madrid to their 11th champions league cup in a gap of 6months, in his words he said "Ancelotti told me when i was his assistant coach that he hoped I would be able to lift the trophy as a Head coach. He told me: 'If you have a chance of winning as coach, you'll see it feels nothing like winning the final as a player" Zidane took all risk and hard-work with his team, now the dream is a reality )

*Who is my role model or Mentor

These are great individuals that assembled their mind and built it to the climax that risk taking is a must in nature, they owe nature to take a risk!
See my beloved; Every great invention from history was done at high risk and by well built minds.
These individuals are on the stage telling us taking risk is something that brings out the best out of ourselves and enriches us to be great persons.
Risk makes your heart beat faster, Let your body burst with joy, YES that's what taking risk is all about when you dig into it.

Every great invention from history was done at high risk and by well built minds

 
5. It Separates You From Fake People
Fake people? Yes these are the unreal friends, they are shadows when things are good and smooth and are like running cheetahs when things are worse.
There was a point in my life +rexzzy lost a lot of friends, because of this reason. I was to embark on a project, though it was really a mind blowing one and very hectic. I thought of relying on my friends for support, advice and those happy friends moment that could boast you motivation, but do you know what??
I only met few friends with me at that moment, then I smiled and now I can tell people that, Do you want to lose fake friends? Then take a huge risk that they don't support of and see how they will flee away! Truly this reason of taking risk may start making people hate you, People love us because we fit in their view and the moment we alter it, things change around. Fake friends are not what you need now dear reader, take that risk today! See 15 Inspiring Set Of People You Should Meet In 2016

6. Its Makes You a Model Of Admiration
Now tell me how you feel when you hear of these names,
Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Zidane, Mother Teresa, Nosagie Ero, Jide Ogunsanya, Najib Ahmad and Rexzzy ???

You see that smile on your face? Yes that's what I am talking about, these people are worthy of admiration today, because they took their time to fight the way up, being specific I could remember Nosagie telling me how he risked #100,000+( $350 ) on a fiverr business! That's was a real inspirational quotation you know, RISK THAT HUGE FUND for something that is not certain! I envy him a lot.
Its Makes You a Model Of Admiration, yes it does and if you really want to be admired and be a significant figure like these guys then you need to take that risk today! Risk is something that brings out the best of ourselves and enriches Us with new audience and followers!
You can contact these guys too, and guess what, they will still tell you how they risked and failed. "Risk gives all and it takes all expect YOU!" -Rexzzy2016


7. If the Pros overweigh the Cons
Yes, this is what I use in ending the last reason but let me continue from here,
"You can contact these guys too, and guess what, they will still tell you how they risk and failed. " These guys have lost all and gained all too in the course of taking risk and having the full inspiring responsibility of it.
Are you still scared of taking that risk? Then this reason should quench your fright.
When we talk of pros, we talk about what you stand for or to gain while when we talk about cons we talk about what you stand to lose or against!
While using this method, take a book and pen, List out what you stand to lose and gain if you take that risk, then start eliminating the irrelevant ones, lastly rearrange the list again, in regards scale of importance.
Then see if the risk is worth taking or not! While brainstorming on this reason for taking risk, Always Think about the inspiration that this step of yours will be to others. Step out of the edge, take more risks.

So guys what do you think? Is it really worth taking risk in life? If its still NO to you, then let me remind you that "Mr Risk Taker Owns A Private Jet"
Take A Risk Today, its either you lose or you gain, let me tell you again
"if you take a risk with a half-minded approach cause you want to test these reasons or test yourself, you won’t just be wasting your time, but you’ll end up disappointing yourself and dream."
Have a dream, set your goals and hit the mark.-@inspirelib
In Najib Ahmad words, he said! "the truth is that, we are nature’s gift and we should make sure when we go back, we have something to return as gift"

Stop sitting on the sidelines dear friends, I love you all from Rexzzy! Keep visiting Inspirational Library and always share articles here to your lovely family and friends!

Taking a summary of the Year so far:

JANUARY was really awesome though some normal thorns of the month of January still shocked us but we scaled through, it was really wonderful celebrating my birthday with a mobile phone as a birthday gift and all that, January was my start of a new beginning.

Running to FEBURARY, MATCH, APRIL I had lots of challenges, and with the mindset of losing someone close to me, I lost trust in people, I was a walking dead. But with all these i had Events to cover up especially my university admission examination. Gosh it was really hectic mhen,. gat to read, stay focused, i abandoned my blog which then was called (Eupdates247). During these months i worked with alot of people especially my beloved James Olubi Peter as a Boss.  A lovely friend named Dorothy Janell (ESE) whom was all i needed; she had been a support to me from 2014 till now, always there to say her mind and kept me on the part.
but as these months draw to a close i met a Brother, Blogger and Business Man, He is no other than Enabulele Daniel Osazee (the Boss of Oracletweets), Eh, this is a Bro. i will still wish to ever have again in my next life. Wow my blogging life was getting better, i was now getting involved with people, meeting Kaesy Chinedu Nwosu of (techriod) and other wonderful people, not to forget the warm arms that Nosagie Nosa-Ero used in accepting me into his friend's list, Thanks Sir...

MAY, JUNE, JULY was too fast, with exams and lectures that i lost so many of my friends and business associates during these months.
Not to forget that i still had this mind set of not trusting anybody. But Blogging was awesome, and My Adsense account came during these months.

AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, Chai, chai, chai, alot happened though, but i won’t forget how my wonderful youths of Victorious Family Of Christ Assembly did a mind blowing youth week, it was superb, impacting, His Grace Was Really Sufficient For US, during the end of the month, Skizzy who is no other than Kelvin Ov Greater Light scheduled me for a 2days computer seminar, geeez it was motivating, as youths took up courage to work with the little i taught them, i also wrote my exam during these months. due to all these events, sept. was like a bypass month to me, it was really so fast.
OCTOBER, NOVEMBER was the bomb, Grand Pa's 10th year remembrance was the Climax of my year 2015, my year of OVERFLOW_PHASE2, i met alot of my family members, i loved them all, and my Big Uncles and Aunties blessed me abundantly, wait!!! am missing someone, My little Niece, called JOAN, hahahaha i love this baby so much, her wahala ne international one ooh... During these month also, I finally changed my blogging part to building a brand, I changed everything about my website to INSPIRATIONAL LIBRARY, I also reconnected with that my close friend i lost earlier the year, now i am gradually building my trust back. *winks i also got my admission this year at Ambrose Ali University, Edo State, Nigeria.  Studying Computer Science, my most desired course.

Also I had to hurriedly spend my November ending and DECEMBER in school, wow, that was another experience of my year 2015, schooling was great again, after a long stay at home. Met new friends, classes, funny moments, oppressions and all that made my little stay great and memorable... not to forget also the successful marriage ceremony of my aunty Florence Edokpolor

Also, all thanks to Itz Oszzy, Kings Fabzzy Ekong, Prince Evbagharu Pedro Ehi-Ewansiha, Osawaru Ewansiha Ehi, DY, Franka, Prince G Samzy, Bros Lucky, Boss Godwin Great, Joy, Believe Dafe, Vincy, Sylvester Glory Erhun-Edokpolor, Samuel Udazzyy, Nomzy Emmanuel, Princewill Okonkwo, Emezzy Ogieriakhi, Fergy, Louis Onyekwelu, Mr. Okanlawon Idowu and Odion Imhandorie

What a year, My little review, My year of Overflow_Phase2, so happy that this theme worked for me, What about yours???????

I really loved 2015 and its so sad to me that am waving a goodbye to the year.  2016 as i said earlier will be my year of #Expected_End-#Making_Impacts, and by the Grace of God that is Sufficient in my Life I Speak that 2016 will be a year that your entire positive desires and plans will end just as you EXPECTED them In Jesus Name!!!
