Download or read book Mother of My Mother written by Hope Edelman and published by Delta. This book was released on 2009-10-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Motherless Daughters, Hope Edelman explored the profound and lasting effects of mother loss, as well as her own search for healing. Now, in her compelling new work, Edelman explores another complex, life-changing relationship, the intricate bond between generations. Drawing from her own experience and the recollections of over seventy other granddaughters, Edelman explores the three-generation triangle from which women develop their female identities: the grandmother-mother-daughter relationship. With eloquent personal testimony, she demonstrates the vital roles grandmothers have played in their granddaughters' lives, as a source of unconditional love, family values and traditions, and backup parent, the ultimate safety net. Here are grandmothers in all their glory: The "Benevolent Manipulator", whose love for her family is matched only by her desire for control; The "Gentle Giant", awesome, respected, who possesses a quiet, behind-the-scenes power; The "Autocrat", who rules her extended family like a despot; The "Kinkeeper", the family hub, who offers a sense of cohesion to the extended clan. With insight and compassion, Edelman probes this unique and emotionally-charged relationship in a book that is a true celebration of an extraordinary bond--and a must read for every woman.

Download or read book Hill Women written by Cassie Chambers and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After rising from poverty to earn two Ivy League degrees, an Appalachian lawyer pays tribute to the strong “hill women” who raised and inspired her, and whose values have the potential to rejuvenate a struggling region. “Destined to be compared to Hillbilly Elegy and Educated.”—BookPage (starred review) “A gritty, warm love letter to Appalachian communities and the resourceful women who lead them.”—Slate Nestled in the Appalachian mountains, Owsley County, Kentucky, is one of the poorest places in the country. Buildings are crumbling as tobacco farming and coal mining decline. But strong women find creative ways to subsist in the hills. Through the women who raised her, Cassie Chambers traces her path out of and back into the Kentucky mountains. Chambers’s Granny was a child bride who rose before dawn every morning to raise seven children. Granny’s daughter, Ruth—the hardest-working tobacco farmer in the county—stayed on the family farm, while Wilma—the sixth child—became the first in the family to graduate from high school. Married at nineteen and pregnant with Cassie a few months later, Wilma beat the odds to finish college. She raised her daughter to think she could move mountains, like the ones that kept her safe but also isolated from the larger world. Cassie would spend much of her childhood with Granny and Ruth in the hills of Owsley County. With her “hill women” values guiding her, she went on to graduate from Harvard Law. But while the Ivy League gave her opportunities, its privileged world felt far from her reality, and she moved home to help rural Kentucky women by providing free legal services. Appalachian women face issues from domestic violence to the opioid crisis, but they are also keeping their towns together in the face of a system that continually fails them. With nuance and heart, Chambers breaks down the myth of the hillbilly and illuminates a region whose poor communities, especially women, can lead it into the future.

Download or read book Our Generations of Legacy written by Barbara Robbins and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legacy- Walk a mile in my shoes, live where Ive lived, dwell in my experiences, learn from my mistakes, and then decide where to go in your life. Everyone needs a role model, and for Barbara Robbins and Joshua Holsclaw, their role models are four grandmothers who founded a legacy prosperous of spirituality. Lou Watts, Emma Carswell, Callie Lail, and Bessie Lail were average Southerners; however, their lives are seen with a new perspective when examined in depth. They remained dedicated to serving the Lord and provided for their families no matter what circumstances occurred. It was these sacrifices that instilled love in the hearts of their children as they passed down valuable lessons, raised their families on morality, and allowed their lights to shine before their loved ones. Because of the Lord, these trees have firm foundations, but these womens influences make the trees blossom with beauty. Throughout the pages of this memoir, the authors examine the measures these four grandmothers took to establish their family trees, the faith passed through each generation of this lineage, and the principles of family and dedication. Youll find a mother sewing outfits by hand for her children past midnight, a leader walking several miles to church, parents doing without so their children could have Christmas gifts, and a giant of the faith remaining fervent in prayer for her loved ones. The inspiration and challenge will give every family the lens to examine their own lives and the true meaning behind family.
