It deals with imperative issues and inner deprav ity. My book will shut s—t down.” He says his book is rude, unsavory and unholy. “There are no battles in this world except for the ones we have in our minds,” Nolan said. “I have taken the darkest part of the human psyche and bundled it up within the comforting pages of a book, but the book itself offers no comfort.” The storyline is a first-person narrative told by a pedophile who kidnaps children and sells their bodies on the black market.

On one humiliating occasion, she and a friend went to the grocery store to pick up a few items. “A few turned into a whole buggy full of gro ceries. It was loaded down and making the comers was tough,” Fontenot said. ”1 saw a really cute guy standing at the end of the aisle that I needed to turn down and he was in my way, so 1 had an excuse to talk to him.” “I was trying to be all cute, so 1 said, ‘excuse me,’ with a little laugh and my sweetest smile,” Fontenot said. To her dismay, when she tried to turn the heavy buggy, it kept turning and the buggy crashed into the aisle and knocked a whole shelf of groceries over. The canned and boxed goods fell on her, her friend and the object of her swooning. As the attractive guy walked away withouilt ing Fontenot pick up the mess, she was moitii and humiliated “My friend and 1 picked up the groceries.^ decided to tone down my pursuing tactics in on to spare myself the embarrassment,” Fontenot r~ ft -reshmen can spare themselves embank moments by doing one of several things.
