And yet, even when life seems unfair, the loving, wise words of Amalia’s abuelita have a way of making everything a little bit brighter. Amalia finds great comfort in times shared with her grandmother: cooking, listening to stories and music, learning, and looking through her treasured box of family cards. But when another loss racks Amalia’s life, nothing makes sense anymore. In her sorrow, will Amalia realize just how special she is, even when the ones she loves are no longer near? From leading voices in Hispanic literature, this thoughtful and touching depiction of one girl’s transition through loss and love is available in both English and Spanish.

From the Author Writing Anita and Grandma's dulce de leche was an unforgettable experience. Every time I read this story, a smile shows up on my face because Anita is a happy character who inspires with her joy and curiosity. She enjoys playing with her dog Toffee, the Rooster Pambelé, the cat Pandora, and doing activities with her grandparents, Rosa and Fermín. They take advantage of every moment to teach her beautiful stories and family traditions. This time, Grandma Rosa teaches her the Dulce de leche's recipe, a confection typical in many countries, and that is honored in this book, the first volume of the ANITA series. The preparation and tasting of Dulce de leche is a true tradition that connects and integrates Anita's family with the neighbors. Grandma Rosa is proud of her roots and shares this tradition as a gesture of love with her community and life itself. Through their characters, Anita and Grandma's Dulce de leche, allows children to enjoy a story that reflects racial integration and cultural sensitivity. They also learn that traditions are part of human history where cultural aspects and affections are expressed and must be valued as part of a society that promotes diversity, inclusion, and multiculturalism. As an author, I present everyday experiences and approach them to readers naturally and sensitively so that the message becomes a topic of conversation that spreads the seeds of peace and love between human beings and nature. *** Escribir Anita y el dulce de leche de la abuela fue una experiencia inolvidable.

Download or read book Searching for Mercy Street written by Linda Gray Sexton and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2011-04-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Notable Book: A “beautifully written” memoir by the daughter of the brilliant, troubled poet (Detroit Free Press). This is an honest, unsparing account of the anguish and fierce love that bound a difficult mother and the daughter she left behind. Linda Sexton was twenty–one when her mother killed herself, and now she looks back, remembers, and tries to come to terms with her mother’s life. Growing up with Anne Sexton was a wild mixture of suicidal depression and manic happiness, inappropriate behavior and midnight trips to the psychiatric ward. Anne taught Linda how to write, how to see, how to imagine—and only Linda could have written a book that captures so vividly the intimate details and lingering emotions of their life together. Searching for Mercy Street speaks to everyone who admires Anne Sexton and to every daughter or son who knows the pain of an imperfect childhood. “Sexton forcefully communicates the fear, repulsion, neediness, and sorrow that filled her childhood, as well as the agony of her own mental breakdown and her terror of becoming like her mother, in lucid and vivid prose.” —The Boston Globe “A candid, often painful depiction of a daughter’s struggles to come to terms with her powerful and emotionally troubled mother.” —The New York Times

This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1947, The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism has since served as the manifesto of evangelical Christians serious about bringing the fundamentals of the Christian faith to bear in contemporary culture. In this classic book Carl F. H. Henry, the father of modern fundamentalism, pioneered a path for active Christian engagement with the world -- a path as relevant today as when it was first staked out. Now available again and featuring a new foreword by Richard J. Mouw, The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism offers a bracing world-and-life view that calls for boldness on the part of the evangelical community. Henry argues that a reformation is imperative within the ranks of conservative Christianity, one that will result in an ecumenical passion for souls and in the power to meaningfully address the social and intellectual needs of the world.
