“I once saw a woman stoned to death. That shit will stay with you once you see it, alter the course of your life, and put you on a path you never envisioned when you were a youngster playing Kick the Can. It did for me, and my writings today reflect those moments when mankind’s brutality overshadows all advancements made in the past two hundred thousand years.” Toby King had it all…..loving parents, a beautiful girlfriend, loyal sidekick, and a 94 mph fastball that scouts loved. He would even be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his nonfiction account of Vietnam, which would in turn propel him to the top of journalism as a writer for the Washington Post. Fame and fortune followed, and with them came a change in Tobias Alexander King. The young man, once praised as being the next Steinbeck, soon discovers that the price of glory is often far too steep. He turns to alcohol. He alienates his loved ones. He slowly slides down that slippery slope of self-loathing and disgust. The drinking continues until he finds himself without a job and in the intensive care ward of a Washington D.C. hospital. With the help of his best friend, Pete, and the love of his life, Maria, he slowly recovers and begins to rebuild his life, only to have his personal house of cards come crashing down upon him on a tragic winter’s night. Can Toby come all the way back from disaster? Can he learn from past mistakes, forgive himself, and find a way to not only survive, but thrive? Resurrecting Tobias is a story of redemption, about overcoming the past, and learning to thrive despite the hardships. It is a combination of Thoreau and Siddhartha, a story, told in flashbacks, of one man who refuses to allow adversity to define who he is.

History & Criticism

Cliffs Notes

William Holland was born at Tyrdan, Denbighshire, in May 1746 and died at Overstowey, Somerset, on 17 April 1819. From the Parish Register of Overstowey we learn: 'Upon the third day of September, 1779, William Holland Clerk B.A. took quiet possession of the Vicarage and Parish Church of Overstowey...'. He was not to remain quiet for long, as these fascinating and entertaining diaries reveal. Although most of the Diary is centred on the area of Bridgewater-Taunton-Watchet, the Hollands made visits to Bath and Bristol for health and holidays and to South Molton to visit Mrs Holland's sister. They also made one major expedition to London with breaks at Maidenhead and Reading. All these are very fully detailed, as is his correspondence with the Duke of Somerset concerning their interest in physiognomy. But most of all, it is the day to day record of his life at the vicarage and his many contacts, both friendly and unfriendly, with local inhabitants which will delight and entertain the reader for many a happy hour. 'Met the two Miss Rollins...trudging along in the dirty road with a servant maid attending. I never think young ladies appear to advantage when trudging along a dirty highroad by themselves and l would advise all ladies when obliged to pass through dirt not to draw their petticoats too high behind for I can assure them that they discover in so doing, more than is to their advantage.'

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The story is based upon a gruesome true crime that occurred in Rhode Island in 1975 when five-year-old freckled face Justin Doherty (all names and places have been changed) was kidnapped and murdered. After a week long search by police and volunteers, Justin's mother Jane and Detective Rick Thurston begin a gut-wrenching, futile crusade to find Justin.  Finally in 1982, Norman Stedman, a twenty-three-year old loner and neighbor, is apprehended when he tires to strangle the local paperboy and while questioned confesses to killing Justin.  During a search of Norman's house, the police find Justin's skull and bones and a jounal describing in grim detail what he did to the dead boy's body. In a plea bargain, the trial judge seals the journal creating rumors to this day about what is in the document.  A retired local principal seeks answers to unanswered questions about the crime. What caused the killer, a capable student and considered harmless, go over the edge and kill an innocent child? Exactly, what was written in the sealed journal? And finally, what long range effect has this brutal crime had on its victims.  Norman Stedman is expected to be released from prison in August, 2011. The public is enraged. Justin's father threatens to seek revenge and will kill Norman if he is released.
