Book excerpt: When a bomb blast buried Corporal Hannah Campbell alive while she was serving in Iraq it was the start of an incredible journey of self-discovery. From the collapse of her marriage, to suffering horrific post-traumatic stress disorder, becoming morbidly obese, addicted to prescription drugs and suicidal, she went to hell and back. Hannah, who left her toddler at home to go to war, then made the extraordinary decision to amputate her own badly damaged leg so she could learn to live again and be a mum to her four-year-old daughter Milly. Within hours of waking up from the amputation she announced she would fulfil her dream of running the London Marathon even though at that time she was unable to walk. Just two months later she put on her first of many prosthetic legs and crossed the finishing line, running into the arms of her beloved young daughter. This spurred her to lose half her body weight before spending her army compensation on a ?52,000 cosmetic makeover which led her to find love again. In an amazing transformation of fortune, she became pregnant with miracle baby Lexi-River, astounding her doctors as this was a child she was told her she’d never have due to her blast injuries. Hannah’s story is one of true heroism and triumph over seemingly insurmountable adversity. But simply it’s also a story about how a mother’s love for her children can conquer all.

Download or read book Miracle Boy written by Ha Le and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miracle Boy was a science fiction novel with interesting characters and well-woven plots. It involved the Dow Jones Stock Market averages and the life of a day trader, medical dramas caused by the shortcomings of medical technology, human relationships, philosophical concepts of life and death, and adventure with romantic sub-plots and interesting twists. The over all theme of the novel was that a beautiful, happy and healthy boy brought joy to his adopted father, his babysitters and their friends. The boy possessed a power to foresee the movement of the Dow Jones Stock Market to create a fortune for his adopted father. He possessed a powerful light source, and an advanced intelligent radiation therapy that aimed to destroy only cancerous cells in the human body. He restored humans' minds from coma and insanity by rebooting the human operating system using the copy of the person's health profile when they once were healthy. He was a sex therapist, and brought back his favorite lady's joy of sex. He was the medical god of the Peruvian villagers, and the angel who granted his adopted father's wishes.

Download or read book Migrants and City Making written by Ayse Çaglar and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Migrants and City-Making Ayşe Çağlar and Nina Glick Schiller trace the participation of migrants in the unequal networks of power that connect their lives to regional, national, and global institutions. Grounding their work in comparative ethnographies of three cities struggling to regain their former standing—Mardin, Turkey; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Halle/Saale, Germany—Çağlar and Glick Schiller challenge common assumptions that migrants exist on society’s periphery, threaten social cohesion, and require integration. Instead Çağlar and Glick Schiller explore their multifaceted role as city-makers, including their relationships to municipal officials, urban developers, political leaders, business owners, community organizers, and social justice movements. In each city Çağlar and Glick Schiller met with migrants from around the world; attended cultural events, meetings, and religious services; and patronized migrant-owned businesses, allowing them to gain insights into the ways in which migrants build social relationships with non-migrants and participate in urban restoration and development. In exploring the changing historical contingencies within which migrants live and work, Çağlar and Glick Schiller highlight how city-making invariably involves engaging with the far-reaching forces that dispossess people of their land, jobs, resources, neighborhoods, and hope.

Book excerpt: Finding Home is a mother’s letter to a most remarkable son, her golden child, the one who left her too soon. It is the true story of Ramiro “Toti” Méndez, an All-American college baseball player who starred at Florida International University and Miami’s Westminster Christian High School. Toti, whose athletic endeavors graced local headlines, died from an undetected heart condition, without knowing the most important story of his life. This honest memoir is also about untold secrets. Maruchi Méndez never had the chance to explain to Toti about his birth. Toti was born in Asturias, Spain, and illegally adopted by Maruchi and her husband Ramiro, who smuggled him into the United States. “How much is the life of a college athlete worth?” Méndez asks. “Who is watching out for them?” Every year, the college scouting system monitors performance, speed, and GPAs, but it fails to do the same when it comes to their health. Meanwhile, athletes continue to drop dead in tracks and fields by the hundreds across the country. The strides Méndez has achieved in her son’s name are marked by memories and tears. But they reinforce a mother’s love each day and her resolve to tell his story to the world.
