The birdsong reminds her that there is a world outside her hospital room, that life is not always as confusing as it seems. It&rsquo;s a reminder she needs badly, because Grace&rsquo;s life has gotten pretty scrambled lately. After her father died, her world dissolved into blackness and she tried to find her way out with a razor blade. She survived and was treated with electroshock therapy, which only left her more mixed up than before. Now she is in a kinder place, trying to put herself back together, but aside from the dove outside her window, she cannot be sure what is real.

Old Hoss : a fictional baseball biography of Charles Radbourn by James W Bennett( Book )

2 editions published between 2002 and 2015 in English and held by 26 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Charles Radbourn won fifty-nine games in 1884, the stuff of legends. In eleven years he racked up over three hundred wins and forty-five hundred innings--mind-blowing numbers. And yet the facts of this Hall of Famer's play are more credible than the stories of his life of alcohol, womanizing, wild brawling, and, later, the ravages of syphilis." Radbourn's plaque at Cooperstown presents an image that is almost caricature: cap set forward, mouth open, mustache pricked up at the ends and thick as his nose is long, nearly. Not Charles, but Ol' Hoss." It is now May 1941, and the invented Chicago Tribune journalist John Trapp is on a train for Bloomington, Illinois, to cover ceremonies honoring the late Radbourn. Trapp meets (the real) baseballer Clark Griffith, who begins to tell him tales of the great pitcher. Our authors then have Trapp craft the first biography of the man, anchoring the details of his life in fact."

Harvey porter does dallas by James W Bennett( )

An unusual boy gets a second chance in a very peculiar Texas school in this comical parody Bailey Mushrush is on his way home from work when he sees the homeless boy sitting outside his house. The boy is bigger than Bailey, with a ghastly scar down his forehead and a cigarette clenched between his lips. His name is Harvey Porter, and he has come to stay. Harvey is a transient who has spent most of his life living on the street, making money playing music for anyone who will listen. When his mentor died, he came looking for his distant relatives the Mushrushes, and he is about to turn their world upside down. Violent, crude, and impossible to reason with, Harvey gets expelled from school after a week and is sent to learn at a strange new institution housed in the old Texas School Book Depository-where Lee Harvey Oswald fired the shot that killed John F. Kennedy. Here Harvey will discover a connection to an infamous conspiracy-and learn what it means to be a man
