The Black Veil Of Deceit

Tall, dark, and exceedingly handsome, how can any woman not have her eyes feast on a man who not only has those qualities but also carries himself very confidently? Mustafa had all those external qualities and much more. When our eyes locked that evening, I felt like a teenager. My heart was racing, I felt giddy, I truly felt special, and in a crazy way, it felt like I hit the jackpot. I knew he was significantly younger than me, but I did not care. I needed something exhilarating and wild in my life, and he seemed to fulfill that desire. I had no idea that the wild I had in mind was the total opposite of the wild I ended up with.

They say writing helps you heal... My story is no ordinary tale, sad to hear and hard to believe. After waking up from that nightmare, a lot of things in my life have changed. It was a shocked realizing that the world is not as innocent as I thought it was. I now hide behind the walls I have built around my heart afraid to trust. I decided to write this book, to speak about my horrifying experience, and how I pushed through it. I wrote it for myself at first, as a healing mechanism, but very quickly the therapy became an aspiration to use as a tool for women around the world. This book was no longer for me. It was for the next potential victim to see the signs and walk away before it's too late. It took me over three years to complete this book. It was very hard for me to write. It brought back all the bad memories, it made me feel sad, scared, angry and terrified. My house felt haunted, there were moments that I had to pause from writing for long periods of time, as I felt as if I was reliving it all over again. Writing this book brought me disappointment, resentment and hate. My name is Sophie, I was born in Egypt and raised in Greece as an Orthodox. My parents gave me the best of everything there is in life; private education, quality clothing and amazing vacations. Some people may think I had it all; but I was deprived in many ways that had a huge impact on me. I wasn't allowed to attend social events with my friends and I didn't have the freedom to date throughout my teen years. On the surface, it may have appeared as if I had it all, whereas I didn't feel like I had what I needed to be a healthy teen. I fought for control over my life, my parents won for a long time, but I never gave up and eventually my life was mine's. I was in my prime 'dipping and doing it' in one of the hottest clubs in town and that's when he walked in. Tall, dark and exceedingly handsome, how can any woman not have her eyes feast on a man who not only has those qualities, but carries himself with great confidence? Mustafa had all those "external" qualities and much more. When our eyes locked that evening, I felt like a teenager; my heart was racing, I felt giddy. I truly felt special and in a crazy way it felt like I hit the jackpot. I knew he was significantly younger than me, but I didn't care. I needed something exhilarating and wild in my life and he seemed to fulfil that desire - I had no idea that the wild I had in mind was the total opposite of the wild I ended up with.It doesn't matter where you come from or what you do in life, mistakes are inevitable. They are made to teach us lessons and instead of judging others for their mistakes we should learn and support each other. Enjoy the story that is my life and be prepared for a roller-coaster of emotions.

No detailed description available for "The Stylistic Development of Edgar Allan Poe".

A raw, unflinching, convention-defying memoir of substance abuse, depression, and guilt In his genre-bending memoir, Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm, delves into not only his own tormenting struggle with depression and alcoholism but also the pathos inherent in American society. Beginning with his childhood and widening his gaze to his ancestral past, Moody elegantly details the events that led him to admit himself to a psychiatric hospital. Seeking explanations for his inner demons, Moody traces his lineage back to Joseph “Handkerchief” Moody. In early-eighteenth-century Maine, Joseph accidentally killed his childhood friend and wore a handkerchief over his face for the rest of his life as a self-imposed punishment. His story stirs within Moody a drive to understand his own failings through a study of American violence from colonial times to the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School. Remarkably broad in scope and full of Moody’s witticisms and brilliantly crafted prose, The Black Veil is an extraordinary exploration of both personal and cultural shame that transcends the expectations of a memoir. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Rick Moody including rare images from the author’s personal collection.
