Download or read book A Hand Up My Walk with Others During Cancer Diagnosis and Treatments written by Karen Harding and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've enjoyed gathering up some memories and creating a souvenir not just for myself, but for others who might walk a similar path. I hope you will walk with me for a little while and catch glimpses of hope to tuck away for strength and ease when facing the unknown regarding personal loss of health. Much of this book comes from my daily recording what was going on during the year I searched for answers about my health and the following radiation and chemotherapy treatments. I added in places, my thoughts at the time, and even some of my feelings. I hope you will find it informative, if only from my point of view. Much I have written is just how I would say it to you if we were sitting down together having a visit. I learned the "down-times" in my life aren't all full of woe, but are even good times. You will see how I learned to appreciate family and friends, love and good deeds, reality and gratitude, laughter and tears, and the beauty that is all over God's green earth. I thank God for my life - all of it.

Pursued by The RUC in the form of Inspector Pete Doyle, the two men will eventually meet in a confrontation that only one can survive. After the wrongful imprisonment of Michael, and to keep faith with the promise she made to their mother, Lori solicits the help of the I.R.A. to free Michael.

Book excerpt: The real-life Nickel and Dimed—the author of the wildly popular “Poverty Thoughts” essay tells what it’s like to be working poor in America. ONE OF THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS OF THE YEAR--Esquire “DEVASTATINGLY SMART AND FUNNY. I am the author of Nickel and Dimed, which tells the story of my own brief attempt, as a semi-undercover journalist, to survive on low-wage retail and service jobs. TIRADO IS THE REAL THING.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, from the Foreword As the haves and have-nots grow more separate and unequal in America, the working poor don’t get heard from much. Now they have a voice—and it’s forthright, funny, and just a little bit furious. Here, Linda Tirado tells what it’s like, day after day, to work, eat, shop, raise kids, and keep a roof over your head without enough money. She also answers questions often asked about those who live on or near minimum wage: Why don’t they get better jobs? Why don’t they make better choices? Why do they smoke cigarettes and have ugly lawns? Why don’t they borrow from their parents? Enlightening and entertaining, Hand to Mouth opens up a new and much-needed dialogue between the people who just don’t have it and the people who just don’t get it.
Download or read book It s Not Like I m Poor written by Sarah Halpern-Meekin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of welfare has changed radically. As the poor trade welfare checks for low-wage jobs, their low earnings qualify them for a hefty check come tax time—a combination of the earned income tax credit and other refunds. For many working parents this one check is like hitting the lottery, offering several months’ wages as well as the hope of investing in a better future. Drawing on interviews with 115 families, the authors look at how parents plan to use this annual cash windfall to build up savings, go back to school, and send their kids to college. However, these dreams of upward mobility are often dashed by the difficulty of trying to get by on meager wages. In accessible and engaging prose, It’s Not Like I’m Poor examines the costs and benefits of the new work-based safety net, suggesting ways to augment its strengths so that more of the working poor can realize the promise of a middle-class life.
