Book excerpt: There was a time when life seemed simple and not so complicated. In Life through the Seasons, author John Comer reflects on those times. In this personal memoir, he describes life through the eyes of a farm boy growing up in rural Missouri during the 1940s and 1950s. His family of eight two parents and six children lived from season to season, always preparing for the next. Comer tells of life before electricity, running water, and television, while describing his family's relationships, traditions, and values. Most importantly, he recounts how his modest upbringing contained all of the essential experiences for life, health, and happiness, which included Christian spirituality, honesty, respect, and hard work. In this evocative narrative, Comer has captured the flavor of the time and has brought it to life. Sometimes tried and tested, his family learned to value the troubling times as well as the good. Faith and determination formed the foundation of his being; Life through the Seasons illustrates those simpler times. This book has been enjoyed by people who grew up in the 40s and 50s. It makes a great gift at Christmas, birthdays and on Mother's and Father's Day.

Download or read book Ava s Man written by Rick Bragg and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-01-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • With the same emotional generosity and effortlessly compelling storytelling that made All Over But the Shoutin’ a beloved bestseller, Rick Bragg continues his personal history of the Deep South. This time he’s writing about his grandfather Charlie Bundrum, a man who died before Bragg was born but left an indelible imprint on the people who loved him. Drawing on their memories, Bragg reconstructs the life of an unlettered roofer who kept food on his family’s table through the worst of the Great Depression; a moonshiner who drank exactly one pint for every gallon he sold; an unregenerate brawler, who could sit for hours with a baby in the crook of his arm. In telling Charlie’s story, Bragg conjures up the backwoods hamlets of Georgia and Alabama in the years when the roads were still dirt and real men never cussed in front of ladies. A masterly family chronicle and a human portrait so vivid you can smell the cornbread and whiskey, Ava’s Man is unforgettable.

Download or read book The McKee Family History of Noble County Ohio written by Beth Pickenpaugh Kolowski and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David McKee is known as the progenitor of the McKee family of Noble County, Ohio; however, with our current lifestyles and social terms, Martha, David's wife, may well be included in this status. David died rather suddenly in 1815, leaving Martha to raise and oversee their family as they continued to live in the wilderness. David and Martha were together for twenty-eight years. They had seven sons and two daughters, who went on to prosper in the local community. Several McKee descendants continue to live in Noble County today. They too follow the same family values that David and Martha instilled in their sons and daughters. They were a pioneer settler family, who were of the front line of defense against the native Indians as trouble took place.
Download or read book Believing in South Central written by Pamela J. Prickett and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area of Los Angeles known as South Central is often overshadowed by dismal stereotypes, problematic racial stigmas, and its status as the home to some of the city’s poorest and most violent neighborhoods. Amid South Central’s shifting demographics and its struggles with poverty, sociologist Pamela J. Prickett takes a closer look, focusing on the members of an African American Muslim community and exploring how they help each other combat poverty, job scarcity, violence, and racial injustice. Prickett’s engaging ethnography relates how believers in this longstanding religious community see Islam as a way of life, a comprehensive blueprint for individual and collective action, guiding how to interact with others, conduct business, strive for progress, and cultivate faith. Prickett offers deep insights into the day-to-day lived religion of the Muslims who call this community home, showing how the mosque provides a system of social support and how believers deepen their spiritual practice not in spite of, but through, conditions of poverty. Prickett breaks past the stigmas of urban poverty, revealing a complex and vibrant community by telling the stories of longstanding residents of South Central—like Sister Ava, who offers food to the local unhoused people and finds the sacred in her extensive DVD collection. In addition to her portraits of everyday life among Muslims in South Central, Prickett also provides vivid and accessible descriptions of Ramadan and histories of the mosque, situates this community within the larger story of the Nation of Islam, explores gender issues, and unpacks the interaction between African American Muslims and South Asian and Arab American Muslims, revealing both the global and local significance of this religious tradition.

Having just seen Isabelle, Carmela and Edgar now find her lying across an aboveground tomb, strangled to death with a piece of vintage lace. Carmela would rather leave the investigating to Edgar, but she can’t say no to Isabelle’s sister Ellie, the tarot card reader at Juju Voodoo, when she asks her to help. As she untangles the enemies of Isabelle’s past, Carmela hopes she can draw out the killer before someone else gets cold feet. INCLUDES SCRAPBOOKING TIPS
Download or read book Coming of Age in Iran written by Manata Hashemi and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at young Iranians navigating poverty and stigma in a time of crisis Crippling sanctions, inflation, and unemployment have increasingly burdened young people in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In Coming of Age in Iran, Manata Hashemi takes us inside the lives of poor Iranian youth, showing how these young men and women face their future prospects. Drawing on first-hand accounts, Hashemi follows their stories, one by one, as they struggle to climb up the proverbial ladder of success. Based on years of ethnographic research among these youth in their homes, workspaces, and places of leisure, Hashemi shows how public judgments can give rise to meaningful changes for some while making it harder for others to escape poverty. Ultimately, Hashemi sheds light on the pressures these young men and women face, showing how many choose to comply with—rather than resist—social norms in their pursuit of status and belonging. Coming of Age in Iran tells the unprecedented story of how Iran’s young and struggling attempt to extend dignity and alleviate misery, illuminating the promises—and limits—of finding one’s place during a time of profound uncertainty.

(Financial Times); in Butterfly Kiss "Nagy captures the texture of a life and writes short, vivid, often disturbingly erotic scenes...it's a play that leaves me proclaiming Nagy a writer of real talent" (Guardian), Disappeared (winner of the Mobil Prize,1995) "A piece that gets right under your skin...There's no neat solution to Nagy's conundrum, just a fog of fear, despair, and most remarkably of all, a final mirage of escape.
