Raina Petree is crushing her senior year, until her boyfriend dumps her, the drama club (basically) dumps her, the college of her dreams slips away, and her arch-nemesis triumphs. Things aren’t much better for Millie Goodwin. Her father treats her like a servant, and the all-boy Mock Trial team votes her out, even after she spent the last three years helping to build its success. But then, an advice columnist unexpectedly helps Raina find new purpose in a pair of knitting needles and a politically active local yarn store. This leads to an unlikely meeting in the girls’ bathroom, where Raina inspires Millie to start a rival team. The two join together and recruit four other angry girls to not only take on Mock Trial, but to smash the patriarchy in the process.

But before Emma can get on with her life, she's got to face a few startling truths about being single in New York City…. Confession #5: Marriage suddenly seems like a social disease. Even the latest bride in my family—my mother—has put me to work in the service of her wedding day. What about us non-brides-to-be? Working in the warped little world of wedding planning has only led me to one conclusion: If you don't get married in this world, you get nothing. Once, in an editorial meeting, I jokingly suggested that a woman should get a bridal shower when she turns thirty, wedding or not. Everyone looked at me as if I were some kind of nut.

Download or read book MEdusa written by Coffy Davis and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MEdusa is a powerful memoir of tumultuous, bold teenage girlhood blossoming in the ruins of black life circa 1990. It's a story of a young girl raised by a single-mom; an ex- military vet suffering from Post- Traumatic Stress and Depression. She finds herself closing inside those same walls of low self-worth and promiscuity but challenges the reflection she sees in the mirror. It's a coming-of-age story of a young girl bursting into this inner-city ballet of heartache and dysfunction and ultimately finds self-love with the energy of a hip-hop lyric. And in the beginning, life is, by just about any measure, a mess. Her strength is pulling poetry out of the wreckage and finding beauty in the most simplistic and basic aspects of urban life; the rhythm of the Double Dutch ropes slapping against asphalt; the dozens; Nike Cortez on cracked side-walks, hide-n-seek in abandoned houses, and first kisses in the back of old school cars is what keeps the beat flowing. She inhales heartaches, violence and trauma and exhales a piece of art that captures a young girl blooming into womanhood in the midst of urban chaos, and fractured family structures. Medusa reads like a hip hop verse-- a modern form of poetry that has a fast-paced flow and a heartbeat like rhythm that keeps time with double-dutch ropes on the pavement and circles of nursery rhymes. Still the most fundamental part is the story. It's a true fairy-tale with all the elements of love and loss. Once upon a time in a land of urban decay where magical moments open like penny-candy and much like pickles with Now & Laters in the middle--can be sweet and sour at the same time. It's a place where young girls are enchanted by mix-tapes, where colorful characters burst on the page with vibrant language. MEdusa feels like slipping on a bright neon- Cross Color outfit and turning the dial on the radio to elaborate phraseology.MEdusa, is the image of a misunderstood and often villainized woman whose outward appearance essentially reduces others to stony and cold figures. How it's often a façade a woman creates for herself for protection but how she can ultimately imprison herself behind these same walls. It's a story about monsters, real and imagined and how society creates images of women that young girls struggle to bend themselves into. This book is also a celebration of flowers; women, those broken, damaged bushels pushing through the cracks in the concrete.

Download or read book The Better Mom written by Ruth Schwenk and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."
