Book excerpt: Have you ever had a friend that told you some horrific news about themselves or their loved ones? You were possibly struck by their frankness and caught off guard as to how to respond. Did you know how important your response was to them, and that it could cause permanent damage to them and your relationship if it were handled badly? This book is the story of a large blended family and a little girl who never felt quite right. Something was missing and the secrets that went along with that feeling left her dangling in mystery and mayhem. Jo Lynn spent a lifetime of wondering about the puzzle until it came to a startling and shocking end. She was left with the choice of picking up the pieces letting it go and moving on, or listen to the nagging voice in her head that spoke of how much easier the alternative of giving up would be.
Download or read book The Art of Leaving written by Ayelet Tsabari and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE CANADIAN JEWISH LITERARY AWARD FOR MEMOIR FINALIST FOR THE HILARY WESTON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR NONFICTION An unforgettable memoir about a young woman who tries to outrun loss, but eventually finds a way home. Ayelet Tsabari was 21 years old the first time she left Tel Aviv with no plans to return. Restless after two turbulent mandatory years in the Israel Defense Forces, Tsabari longed to get away. It was not the never-ending conflict that drove her, but the grief that had shaken the foundations of her home. The loss of Tsabari’s beloved father in years past had left her alienated and exiled within her own large Yemeni family and at odds with her Mizrahi identity. By leaving, she would be free to reinvent herself and to rewrite her own story. For nearly a decade, Tsabari travelled, through India, Europe, the US and Canada, as though her life might go stagnant without perpetual motion. She moved fast and often because—as in the Intifada—it was safer to keep going than to stand still. Soon the act of leaving—jobs, friends and relationships—came to feel most like home. But a series of dramatic events forced Tsabari to examine her choices and her feelings of longing and displacement. By periodically returning to Israel, Tsabari began to examine her Jewish-Yemeni background and the Mizrahi identity she had once rejected, as well as unearthing a family history that had been untold for years. What she found resonated deeply with her own immigrant experience and struggles with new motherhood. Beautifully written, frank and poignant, The Art of Leaving is a courageous coming-of-age story that reflects on identity and belonging and that explores themes of family and home—both inherited and chosen.
Download or read book A Simple Girl s Guide to Surviving the Realities written by Mary Barber and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you believe if someone told you there is another reality? Would you believe me if I said there is another world out there, where people possess certain abilities enabling them to manipulate the weather, natural elements, and even human emotions? If your answer is not ‘no’ to those questions, you must be living an interesting life. Not long ago I would have said ‘no’ too, without hesitation. It all changed, however, when a couple of weeks ago I was thrust into that very world, with having no clue how or why I got there, what I was supposed to do, or how to get back to my normal life. And there was no guide to help me manoeuvre through my suddenly upturned life, either. A nuisance, really. Complications didn’t end there, though. A good thing too, we wouldn’t want life to get boring. So, on top of finding out about the existence of a whole new world, I soon found myself in the middle of an eight-month-long kidnapper case – yes, with real criminals, victims and crime scenes – alongside with new friends, new enemies, and a surly, mostly unwilling detective. Because apparently, letting someone with a day-long investigative career loose around a criminal investigation was completely normal only in some places. I’ve already seen a lot of crime scenes close up in front of my TV screen, though, so... what could go wrong?

Download or read book A Girl is a Half Formed Thing written by Eimear McBride and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the literary world by storm, Eimear McBride’s internationally praised debut is one of the most acclaimed novels in recent years; it is “subversive, passionate, and darkly alchemical. Read it and be changed” (Eleanor Catton). Eimear McBride’s debut tells, with astonishing insight and in riveting detail, the story of a young woman’s relationship with her brother, the long shadow cast by his childhood brain tumour, and her harrowing sexual awakening. Not so much a stream-of-consciousness, as an unconscious railing against a life that makes little sense, and a shocking and intimate insight into the thoughts, feelings and chaotic sexuality of a vulnerable and isolated protagonist, A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing plunges inside its narrator’s head, exposing her world firsthand. This isn’t always comfortable—but it is always a revelation. Touching on everything from family violence to religion to addiction, and the personal struggle to remain intact in times of intense trauma, McBride writes with singular intensity, acute sensitivity, and mordant wit. A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing is moving, funny, and alarming. It is a book you will never forget.

Then, to make matters worse, her mother has returned to using drugs and is quickly depleting their finances. In a plan to become emancipated from her messed-up mom, Maya takes a job on Rodeo Drive. Selling designer clothes compromises Maya’s earth-friendly “green girl” values, but she is desperate. Just when Maya thinks she’s got it all worked out, her life caves in. Her mom “embezzles” Maya’s savings and is later arrested on DUI and cocaine possession charges and is facing jail time. With nowhere to live, Maya is sent to spend the summer with her relatives. In the collision of two very different worlds, Maya must figure out where she fits in–or does she fit in at all?
