Download or read book Carrying Grace to Santiago written by Maureen Lauran and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-12-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT BEGAN AS AN ARTIST'S VACATION BECAME A PILGRIMAGE OF THE SPIRIT. Maureen Lauran planned to sketch her way along the Camino de Santiago, a medieval pilgrimage route across rugged northern Spain. On break from her duties as art teacher, she set out to walk the 500-mile trek to Santiago de Compostela, hoping for great vistas, delicious wines and crusty breads, and conviviality with other travelers. Drawing her way through quaint villages, beautiful cathedrals, along meandering rivers, and across ancient bridges she encountered all of those things . . . and something more. Before leaving home, almost as an after-thought, Maureen remembered that the ashes of her mother-Grace-needed a final resting place. Carrying Grace's ashes with her would bring up many unwanted memories. Along with those memories, however, her final tribute to a difficult woman led to a brilliant revelation. A journey of discovery, friendship, good humor . . . and forgiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this moving, emotional narrative of love and resilience, a young couple confronts the start of Argentina's Dirty War in the 1970s, and a daughter searches for truth twenty years later. New York, 1998. Santiago Larrea, a wealthy Argentine diplomat, is holding court alongside his wife, Lila, and their daughter, Paloma, a college student and budding jewelry designer, at their annual summer polo match and soiree. All seems perfect in the Larreas’ world—until an unexpected party guest from Santiago's university days shakes his usually unflappable demeanor. The woman's cryptic comments spark Paloma’s curiosity about her father’s past, of which she knows little. When the family travels to Buenos Aires for Santiago's UN ambassadorial appointment, Paloma is determined to learn more about his life in the years leading up to the military dictatorship of 1976. With the help of a local university student, Franco Bonetti, an activist member of H.I.J.O.S.—a group whose members are the children of the desaparecidos, or the “disappeared,” men and women who were forcibly disappeared by the state during Argentina’s “Dirty War”—Paloma unleashes a chain of events that not only leads her to question her family and her identity, but also puts her life in danger. In compelling fashion, On a Night of a Thousand Stars speaks to relationships, morality, and identity during a brutal period in Argentinian history, and the understanding—and redemption—people crave in the face of tragedy. Includes a Reading Group Guide.

Download or read book Trilogies as Cultural Analysis written by Gregory Stephens and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a “big picture” view of three universal themes, as seen in literary representations: sea-crossing tales, human-animal relations, and (late) father-son relationships. Seen in triptych, these writings demonstrate how passing between worlds and across cultures has become the normative human condition. Authors analyzed within a hemispheric and post-national frame include works by Ernest Hemingway, J.M. Coetzee’s late Jesus novels, and Esmeralda Santiago’s When I Was Puerto Rican. Fusing literary criticism, communication studies, and literary nonfiction within a writing studies framework, Trilogies argues for the inclusion in our writing of personal, institutional, and disciplinary perspectives. The book invites readers to re-imagine writing and communication styles. How can we envision and communicate the representations of between-world experiences that are all around us? What kinds of writing and communication styles can travel beyond our “bubbles,” engage General Education students, and gain a hearing in the public sphere?

Book excerpt: If you want to make God laugh, tell him you have a plan—because things don’t always go our way. And for fifty-five-year-old grandmother Marissa Zamora, her plans to hike the famous Camino de Santiago trails in northern Spain would give God a good laugh. In Carried—A Pilgrim’s Story, author Marissa Zamora shares her inspiring but unexpected journey to follow Saint James’s path from Bilbao, Spain, to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. After eight months of preparation, savings, and planning, she ventures off alone to a foreign country—only to find herself in dire straits as her adventure turns from joy to pain. Her plans to chronicle her journey of a lifetime becomes a spiritual march to overcome the unexpected and find her way—in her hike, in herself, and in Christ. What had started out as an adventure suddenly turned into a true pilgrimage, and Marissa’s story is a testament to the way we must have faith in God’s plans—because the ones we make for ourselves cannot always be trusted.
