Excerpt from Out of the Wreck Her voice was what you might expect from the face with its steady lights, cool, clear, smooth in ections, yet a touch of the latent strength she was compelled to sum mon, and a suggestion also of the capacity for passion and tenderness. When she spoke you felt as if there were certain songs she could sing incomparably, but having once heard them from her you could never listen to any other rendering of them. Eleanor, you must surely know that a woman who leaves her husband exposes herself to criticism, censure, and yes, temptation. Men seldom respect a woman who throws off the restraints of the marriage vow! I am sure we all regret Tom's course, Mrs. Marshall as keenly as you can; and in time he may see the folly of it. When I have been tortured into the gravel When my health and strength fail and my children are left worse than orphans!

Excerpt from The Wreck of the Dauntless IT was an almost hilarious group that started from West Palm Beach, one December morning, for Okeechobee City. Their car was one of those brought by the Black Skimmer from New York, and Albert Davis, as best acquainted with the sandy roads of Florida, was driving. It was he who added to the compact scientific equipment a stout rope and a shovel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

“There’s still time to change things.”—Siri Hustvedt, The Blazing World Addiction is easy to fall into and hard to escape. It destroys the lives of individuals, and has a devastating cost to society. The National Institute of Health estimates seventeen million adults in the United States are alcoholics or have a serious problem with alcohol. At the same time, the country is seeing entire communities brought to their knees because of opioid additions. These scourges affect not only those who drink or use drugs but also their families and friends, who witness the horror of addiction. With Out of the Wreck I Rise, Neil Steinberg and Sara Bader have created a resource like no other—one that harnesses the power of literature, poetry, and creativity to illuminate what alcoholism and addiction are all about, while forging change, deepening understanding, and even saving lives. Structured to follow the arduous steps to sobriety, the book marshals the wisdom of centuries and explores essential topics, including the importance of time, navigating family and friends, relapse, and what Raymond Carver calls “gravy,” the reward that is recovery. Each chapter begins with advice and commentary followed by a wealth of quotes to inspire and heal. The result is a mosaic of observations and encouragement that draws on writers and artists spanning thousands of years—from Seneca to David Foster Wallace, William Shakespeare to Patti Smith. The ruminations of notorious drinkers like John Cheever, Charles Bukowski, and Ernest Hemingway shed light on the difficult process of becoming sober and remind the reader that while the literary alcoholic is often romanticized, recovery is the true path of the hero. Along with traditional routes to recovery—Alcoholics Anonymous, out-patient therapy, and intensive rehabilitation programs—this literary companion offers valuable support and inspiration to anyone seeking to fight their addiction or to a struggling loved one. Featuring Charles Bukowski, John Cheever, Dante, Ricky Gervais, Ernest Hemingway, Billie Holiday, Anne Lamott, John Lennon, Haruki Murakami, Anaïs Nin, Mary Oliver, Samuel Pepys, Rainer Maria Rilke, J. K. Rowling, Patti Smith, Kurt Vonnegut, and many more.

Excerpt from The Waif of the Wreck and Joe Gains The Mahoning River is one of the beauty spots of the old Keystone State. When Autumn time comes the banks of foliage upon either side of the valley, with its variety of colors, different shades and shadows, together with the sunshine upon the silvery waters of the river, all combine to attract the thought, mind and eye of the traveler. Such beautiful coloring has to be seen to be appreciated; no artist can convey it to canvas. Such is the scene in the valley in which my story opens, where the hero learned to use the revolver and wrestle with men.
