Book excerpt: Welcome to Braedyn Murphy's life. She's a typical-if shy-sophomore navigating the slings and arrows of high school life with her two best friends, Royal and Cassie. Then a new boy, Lucas, moves into the house next door, and Braedyn finds herself falling in love for the first time. But Braedyn's normal life comes crashing down around her ears when she learns she's a descendent of Lilith, the mother of all demons - and that she might play a critical role in an ancient war between the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Lilith. Turns out the right answers aren't always clear or easy. And as for "good" and "evil" - it all depends on how you choose to act. Inspired by the ancient Mesopotamian myths of Lilith and her offspring, Thrall explores first love, strong friendships, and taking on adult responsibilities against the backdrop of powerful supernatural forces and life-and-death stakes.

Download or read book Lilith s Daughters written by Nilüfer Bilge Aytekin and published by Edenacademia Mouseion. This book was released on 2020-10-11 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe that the stories we tell have written somewhere in the universe many times ago, and transferred to humans’ hearts by people connecting with the universe with their hearts in their own unique way. Some of them transferred these stories with musical notes, some of them used words told in a scene, and some of them with dance or texts. Since when I have connected with my heart and discover what it is, my way is to write what was born into my heart. This story I told you is a fiction about the woman within us, whom we have not taken out of the darkness, courageously confronting the darkness with an intrinsic call, finding herself and leaving her rooted and settled fears and coming to the stage of her own life. This fiction which is fed by mythological characters tells us about one of Lilith’s and Samael’s daughters called Ophelia. In some beliefs, it is believed that her mother, Lilith has been created before Eve and when she wanted to equal rights with Adam, she was fired from the paradise. On that day, to this day, she had been excluded from every mythology, became hated and had been sentenced to darkness with Samael in our collective fears. Ophelia was born in the darkness and had no any idea about lights, she just could see world’s shimmer too far away. She faces with her darkness by an intrinsic call, ascents to the light on her own life stage and courageously discovers what she is, what is unique to her. She goes on a journey with her heart, leaving everything behind, all her labels, which she does not know where she is going, by following the craving and quest in her heart from the darkness, where all the fears imposed on her mother, the woman who demands to take place in the stage of life with her own light. The journey confronts Ophelia the devils inside her, her fears, her longings that she dares and gives up, her injustices to herself, all the fearful lives she has turned down, covered, and hidden. And Ophelia continues to look into her heart, although her fears, despite her own demons. At the end, Ophelia meet with hidden things which into her deepest of heart and things what she was. And she comes out to her own life scene, taking care of herself, her soul, her heart, her abilities, all the values that make her that, and leaving all her fears, worries, judgments. Darkness is an area that we often fear, not dare to get into and stay away from. Whereas we continue to look at all the fears which we don't want to see, we discover all our treasures those we cover in darkness. I believe that a world full of happy people will be created when we bring our talents in the dark to the light and make them visible, when we let go of our fears and give ourselves the chance to be ourselves and become our true authentic self. This story is dedicated to all women who bravely took place on their own stage, excluded, harmed, killed throughout history, to Hypatia and to my own soul. The brightest, the most attractive pearls are in the deepest seas. As long as you dare to look at your heart, to find it...

Book excerpt: It Never Ends: Mothering Middle-Aged Daughters explores the complex challenges and unexpected rewards of aging mothers in their relationships with their midlife daughters. Based on interviews with women between 65 and 85, it illuminates issues of closeness, distance, longing, and need that arise. Mothers speak openly about the ongoing effects of the past on the present, the cultural, familial, and interpersonal conflicts that remain, and the varied and often invisible ways they continue mothering. As mothers enter the last decades of their lives, their roles with their daughters often shift and change in complicated ways. Now that they are no longer central in caring for them as they once were, many experience a recalibrating of authority, autonomy, and independence. Their courage is apparent as they reflect on the mistakes they’ve made, acknowledge their regrets, and search to come to terms with their relationships as they now are.
Download or read book The Book of Night Women written by Marlon James and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the National Book Award finalist Black Leopard, Red Wolf and the WINNER of the 2015 Man Booker Prize for A Brief History of Seven Killings "An undeniable success.” — The New York Times Book Review A true triumph of voice and storytelling, The Book of Night Women rings with both profound authenticity and a distinctly contemporary energy. It is the story of Lilith, born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the eighteenth century. Even at her birth, the slave women around her recognize a dark power that they- and she-will come to both revere and fear. The Night Women, as they call themselves, have long been plotting a slave revolt, and as Lilith comes of age they see her as the key to their plans. But when she begins to understand her own feelings, desires, and identity, Lilith starts to push at the edges of what is imaginable for the life of a slave woman, and risks becoming the conspiracy's weak link. But the real revelation of the book-the secret to the stirring imagery and insistent prose-is Marlon James himself, a young writer at once breathtakingly daring and wholly in command of his craft.
