Download or read book My Life Story written by Adonica Schultz Aune Ph. D. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Life Story: Margaret Estelle Gulbranson Schultz was first written in longhand by Margaret. Her story is a firsthand account of a young girl of Norwegian descent who grew up in a family of nine children in North Dakota during the Depression. Of interest is the fact that the family did live in a boxcar and were the authentic boxcar children. The Gulbranson offspring learned early to fend for themselves and help others. Being the eldest, Margaret supported and cared for her eight siblings. After a harsh start in school knowing no English, Margaret (to her delight) was sent home, learned English in one year, and went on to become a teacher at the age of nineteen. For over forty years, she continued to be heavily involved in the educational system. Margaret Estelle Gulbranson Schultz is memorialized as a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, and teacher.

Download or read book Our Dogs Ourselves written by Alexandra Horowitz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Inside of a Dog and The Year of the Puppy, an eye-opening, informative, “entertaining, and enlightening” (BookPage) celebration of the human-canine relationship for the curious dog owner and science-lover alike. We keep dogs and are kept by them. We love dogs and (we assume) we are loved by them. We buy them sweaters, toys, shoes; we are concerned with their social lives, their food, and their health. The story of humans and dogs is thousands of years old but is far from understood. In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz explores all aspects of this unique and complex relationship that “dog lovers will savor and absorb” (Shelf Awareness). As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs. We celebrate their individuality but breed them for sameness. Despite our deep emotional relationships with dogs, legally they are property to be bought, sold, abandoned, or euthanized as we wish. Even the way we speak to our dogs is at once perplexing and delightful. In thirteen thoughtful and charming chapters, Our Dogs, Ourselves affirms our profound affection for this most charismatic of animals—and makes us “see canine companions in new ways” (Science News).

Download or read book Four Lives written by Janice Rubin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-11-14 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some people able to survive unpropitious beginnings, thrive and even excel, while others in equivalent circumstances cannot? The four women whose memoirs make up this volume met several years ago in an autobiography workshop. Despite early years that included physical, emotional and sexual abuse, deaths and abandonments, and the terror of living in a country at war, they remained sufficiently self-possessed and determined to go on to live productive lives, often giving back more than they had received. How did they manage to do it? Was Thedas loving family her protective shield? Was Honeys willingness to accept help and learn from others her salvation? Did Peggys brightness, charm and independence give her the confidence to take on the world? Was Janices determination to matter her incentive? This book offers no answers, but there are enough clues in each of the four stories on which to base reasonable conjectures.

Download or read book Cleanness written by Garth Greenwell and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the Prix Sade 2021 Longlisted for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize Longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize A New York Times Notable Book of 2020 A New York Times Critics Top Ten Book of the Year Named a Best Book of the Year by over 30 Publications, including The New Yorker, TIME, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, NPR, and the BBC In the highly anticipated follow-up to his beloved debut, What Belongs to You, Garth Greenwell deepens his exploration of foreignness, obligation, and desire Sofia, Bulgaria, a landlocked city in southern Europe, stirs with hope and impending upheaval. Soviet buildings crumble, wind scatters sand from the far south, and political protesters flood the streets with song. In this atmosphere of disquiet, an American teacher navigates a life transformed by the discovery and loss of love. As he prepares to leave the place he’s come to call home, he grapples with the intimate encounters that have marked his years abroad, each bearing uncanny reminders of his past. A queer student’s confession recalls his own first love, a stranger’s seduction devolves into paternal sadism, and a romance with another foreigner opens, and heals, old wounds. Each echo reveals startling insights about what it means to seek connection: with those we love, with the places we inhabit, and with our own fugitive selves. Cleanness revisits and expands the world of Garth Greenwell’s beloved debut, What Belongs to You, declared “an instant classic” by The New York Times Book Review. In exacting, elegant prose, he transcribes the strange dialects of desire, cementing his stature as one of our most vital living writers.
