A Handful of Purple Sky is the story of a resilient woman who, despite waking up one morning to the terrible news that she had breast cancer, not only fought her fears and apprehensions, but also the illness, to emerge stronger and more determined in the end. The journey, however, was not an easy one. In the September of 2017, Mridula Bajpai was diagnosed with Stage 2b breast cancer. Before she could comprehend what was unfolding around her, she had to be up and about, getting all kinds of tests done, meeting doctors, trying to understand the challenge life had suddenly thrown her way. In the hustle and bustle that was life, the news of the illness came as a shock. What followed, were months of gruelling cancer treatment. Mridula was left shattered and broken, with the powerful drugs taking a toll on her body – the side effects were many and scary. Mridula believes that the glass of life is always full and never empty. A Handful of Purple Sky traverses the journey called life, when it brings you at a crossroad, and you can only take one quick decision: to fight, fight and fight till you emerge victorious.

Download or read book The Purple Sky written by Peter Anthony Swiderski and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PETER BARBIERIS mesmerizing Book One of his trilogy depicts the resentment, suspicion, and intrigue that direct the lives of one Native American family living in North America prior to the European invasion. Book One begins with the birth of a son and ends with two brothers fi ght-to-the-death. The Purple Sky is an account of EMILY MADDINGs (b. 1765, d. 1857) dreamvisits to a small Native American village. In a manner most mysterious and uncanny, Emily lives the life of PALE-MOON, one of the villages women. Emily defi nes her relationship with Pale-Moon in this way: It is as if I am here now, on the tenth of January, 1806, sitting at my desk, living a life as wife and mother a life with a memory, history, and a fancied future and yet I am vaguely aware of a ubiquitous presence hovering in an indefi nable space; a presence that connects me to all that has been and to all that will be. In so far as the Native American woman is concerned, Emily is her ubiquitous presence, and she [Pale-Moon] is to a certain extent aware of it. Through Emily, Pale-Moon narrates the compelling story of her peoples struggle to maintain a harmonious existence within a world teetering on the brink of transfi guration. BARBIERIS previous works of fictionTales From the Soft Underbelly of Confusion, a collection of short stories, and Tree Of Dreams, a novelwere published by iuiverse in 2007 and 2009 respectively. Peter Barbieri received his doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Colorado, Boulder. He completed his post-doctoral studies with Luciano Berio in Florence, Italy. For the past twenty-fi ve years, Barbieri has been touring the United States and Europe as pianist/ accompanist for the Nancy Spanier Dance Company. Currently, Dr. Barbieri is the executive director of the ijamjazz summer jazz camp in Bonefro, Italy and teaches Jazz Th eory and Improvisation in Boulder, Colorado.

Download or read book A Handful of Kings written by Mark Jacobs and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-02-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With explosive tension and masterful suspense, A Handful of Kings is a page-turning thriller about what really happens in the world of espionage, by an insider who has lived it. American diplomat Vicky Sorrell learns the hard way that all is fair in love -- and espionage. A Handful of Kings, the latest novel by prolific author and former foreign service officer Mark Jacobs, follows Vicky's fast-paced tour of duty -- one where she must decide who the bad guys are, who is lying, and who just might be telling the dangerous truth. Vicky is changing her life. She is leaving the foreign service and her lover at the same time. But before she departs the U.S. embassy in Madrid for home, a well-known American writer shows up with a strange request. Vicky knows that what the writer wants from her is not necessarily what he is asking. But curiosity leads her to play along, and she is quickly drawn into the murky underground of terrorists and spies into which the writer himself has been reluctantly led. The track she takes is full of wrong turns. And at the end of the tunnel, it's not light she sees but an unspeakable threat to people she loves. Recalling Graham Greene in The Comedians, Jacobs weaves an engrossing story that takes place over three continents and illuminates the unexpected ways people betray and defend one another and, ultimately, how they learn to love.

Book The Sky  the Stars  the Wilderness

Download or read book The Sky the Stars the Wilderness written by Rick Bass and published by HMH. This book was released on 1998-09-30 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Two appealing short stories and an exquisite novella” about the relationship between humans and the natural world around them (Kirkus Reviews). This is a “wondrous” (GQ) collection of short fiction exploring the subtle interplay between predator and prey, from “a literary titan” (The New York Times Book Review). In the title story, a woman has returned to live on the west Texas ranch that has been in her family since Texas was a republic. Her mother, who died when she was a child, is buried there; the three men who raised her—her father, grandfather, and Old Chubb, a Mexican ranch hand—are gone; and her brother, like herself, is childless. Soon, all that will be left of the family is the land: “I suppose the land is all we will leave behind,” she reflects. “In that way it is both our parents and our children.” Land is central to the other tales here as well. In The Myths of Bears, a man tracks his wife through a winter wilderness as she both lures and eludes him. And in Where the Sea Used to Be, an ancient ocean buried in the foothills of the Appalachians becomes a battleground for a young wildcat oilman and his aging mentor. “Rick Bass is a force of nature. [This book] is a force of language. As a reader, a third thing comes to mind: gratitude for a good story that allows us to ponder what is above and what is below.” —Terry Tempest Williams “What’s exhilarating about Rick Bass’s stories is that they show every hallmark of ‘the natural’—that lucid, free-flowing, particularly American talent whose voice we can hear in Twain, Fitzgerald, and Hemingway.” —Chicago Tribune

  • ISBN : 9781544845968

Download or read book The Sky Was All Purple written by Toshia Chere Humphries and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince connected and still connects with so many of us - the lost children, the misfits, weirdos and freaks - and gave us permission to unapologetically be ourselves. He led by example and taught us to live authentic lives, seek and speak Truth and to honor ourselves and God, who uniquely designed us. In some ways, he raised us; seeing us through challenging childhoods and awkward stages of adolescence and literally lifting our spirits and raising our vibrations. As such, he became that mother, father, brother and sister he (according to his lyrics) wanted to be. But, for a handful of us, Prince was more than family. To many of us who never truly had an Earth-bound familial connection with biological parents, siblings or extended members, he was an intimate connection to something deep within ourselves; that which normally ignites with the initial imprinting and bond of mother and child. He was that realization that we belong. That handful of individuals is certainly represented within the pages of this book. Though not every story of every person who felt that deep connection, love and sense of loss is shared here, the words of those who did submit their stories likely resonate with those in that category who did not. These stories were submitted voluntarily and were the answer to a call for submissions which was prompted after a successful and unexpectedly overwhelming response to an article I wrote in the days following the news of Prince's departure. The article - When Doves Cry: Why the Lost Child Deeply Grieves the Loss of Prince - was published by Sober Recovery and detailed my personal experience with losing his physical presence on this planet. It attempted to explain that deep sense of loss that I and others felt; something not unlike that which must have been experienced by those emotionally and physically closest to him. It is included in this book, as it was the beginning of this process - the inspiration, conceptualization, call for submissions, writing and publication of this book - and an unprecedented spiritual journey which I have been on ever since.

Book excerpt: As complex, turbulent and spectacular as the gas giant on which it is set, this novel from Iain M. Banks is space opera on a truly epic scale. “An enormously enjoyable book, full of wonderful aliens, a sense of wonder and subtle political commentary on current events.” –Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) It is 4034 AD. Humanity has made it to the stars. Fassin Taak, a Slow Seer at the Court of the Nasqueron Dwellers, will be fortunate if he makes it to the end of the year. The Nasqueron Dwellers inhabit a gas giant on the outskirts of the galaxy, in a system awaiting its wormhole connection to the rest of civilization. In the meantime, they are dismissed as decadents living in a state of highly developed barbarism, hoarding data without order, hunting their own young and fighting pointless formal wars. Seconded to a military-religious order he's barely heard of - part of the baroque hierarchy of the Mercatoria, the latest galactic hegemony - Fassin Taak has to travel again amongst the Dwellers. He is in search of a secret hidden for half a billion years. But with each day that passes a war draws closer - a war that threatens to overwhelm everything and everyone he's ever known. “Banks is a phenomenon...writing pure science fiction of a peculiarly gnarly energy and elegance.” –William Gibson “Banks writes with a sophistication that will surprise anyone unfamiliar with modern science fiction.” –The New York Times For More from Iain M.
