Road Worthy


Book Description

We all like to try our hand at something new and see where it takes us. When Rod Monette first slung his leg over a motorcycle at the age of 47, he could not have imagined it would lead to a journey of the heart as well as the body. He did not set out to review and reconsider life on solo road trips around North America, but that is where those 2 wheels took him. Stripping it down to the basics, this story is fresh and honest because that is the only promise of each day on the open road. No time for lazy retrospection - not on this journey. Up before dawn, check all the gear, eat light, stay wide awake and feel what nature and your soul serves up. And it served up. The opportunity to experience endurance, awe, love, disappointment and oh ya .....the bike and the open road.




Road Worthy


Book Description

A Union soldier languishing in a prisoner of war camp whittled a mallet from Georgia pecan. My father bought that mallet in 1975 for twenty-five cents. So was born a crazy idea for five guys spanning three generations to take an RV trip across Civil War battlegrounds in search of the mallet's story, and in the process, create a story of their own. From inspiration gleaned from playing basketball in South Florida to a modern-day Civil War odyssey to an epic bike trip of remembrance from Rhode Island to the Vietnam Wall in D.C., Road Worthy is a journey over miles and through decades that affirms the joy of family and friendship, the depth of human sacrifice, and the interconnectedness of the human spirit.




Worthy 2.0


Book Description

Worthy 2.0: A Journey of Finding HER (A Black Sheep Manifesto) is a very personal look into the life of someone who started enduring abuse at a very young age. It took a long time for Shaynicorn to find a way through the trauma and grief, but she was determined that her life was worth more. She became focused on recovery and resurgence, but still slipped back sometimes, as healing is never linear. Shaynicorn’s healer told her, “Stand in your power and speak your truth,” so she created four steps to help as she worked to heal her inner child. Worthy 2.0 tells her story and also gives hope and a path to those who are looking to heal, as well. Shaynicorn shares the healing model she developed over her evolution of going from abused, perfectionist, angel child who was afraid of everything to who she is today: still a little damaged and still a little broken—but free. Shaynicorn was a victim of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. She is disabled and was ashamed, but not anymore. Now, she is a trauma survivor, fibromyalgia warrior, and disability advocate. She is an unapologetic, powerful human being taking up the space she deserves and earned. The past no longer defines her, but it made her the badass she is today. Feel hope from the words of her truth that there is freedom from pain, trauma, and the past. You are the writer of your story, so take charge!

Ben Lawsky, a Vietnam veteran turned private detective, is in desperate need of a client. His bank account is dwindling, and he must find a way to pay for his hobby, riding his Harley. When Liza walks through his office door, he's willing to do almost anything to get the job, even if it involves traveling to Sri Lanka-although he doesn't know at first where the country is. Liza is worried about her close friend Sanger, whom she has known for twenty years. Three months ago, after living in the United States for thirty-five years, Sanger suddenly decided to return to his home country of Sri Lanka. Liza hasn't heard from him since his departure. Lawsky takes the case, and it sends him on journey to the island nation, where he uncovers the intricate details of the tiger movement, the government and its corrupt ways, and its use of politics that had entered a once-pure Buddhist Sangha.




Liberty and Justice


Book Description

First published in 1987. "Justice and liberty are the central concepts of social and political thought."
