Book excerpt: Though one in four pregnancies ends in loss, miscarriage is shrouded in such secrecy and stigma that the woman who experiences it often feels deeply isolated, unsure how to process her grief. Her body seems to have betrayed her. Her confidence in the goodness of God is rattled. Her loved ones don't know what to say. Her heart is broken. She may feel guilty, ashamed, angry, depressed, confused, or alone. With vulnerability and tenderness, Adriel Booker shares her own experience of three consecutive miscarriages, as well as the stories of others. She tackles complex questions about faith and suffering with sensitivity and clarity, inviting women to a place of grace, honesty, and hope in the redemptive purposes of God without offering religious clichés and pat answers. She also shares specific, practical resources, such as ways to help guide children through grief, suggestions for memorializing your baby, and advice on pregnancy after loss, as well as a special section for dads and loved ones.

Download or read book Frankly My Dear written by Molly Haskell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haskell keeps both novel and movie at hand, moving from one to the other, comparing and distinguishing what Margaret Mitchell expresses from what obsessive producer David O. Selznick, directors George Cukor and Victor Fleming, screenplaywrights Sidney Howard and a host of fixers (including Ben Hecht and Scott Fitzgerald), and actors Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Hattie McDaniel, and others convey. She emphasizes the contributions of Selznick, Leigh, and in an entire chapter, Mitchell, drawing heavily and analytically on existing biographies, the literature of women and the Civil War, Civil War films (especially Birth of a Nation and Jezebel), and film criticism to such engaging effect as to not just revisit GWTW but to revive and intensify the enduring fascination of what Selznick dubbed the American Bible. --Olson, Ray Copyright 2009 Booklist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the gospel say about your fears? What does it say about the irrational ones, like sinkholes in the Target parking lot? How does it speak to the rational ones, like pet scan predictions? And does the gospel have a word for the fears you feel you'll have for life, like the possibility of losing the one you love most? Growing up in the green room of SNL, being born to a fire-eater and adopted by a SWAT cop, having internal organs explode, and adopting a deaf girl from China, Scarlet Hiltibidal has been given some strange life experiences—and lived in fear through most of them. But life changed for Scarlet when she learned to hold the gospel up to her fears. She realized that though she can't fix herself or protect herself, Jesus walked into this broken, sad, scary place to rescue, love, and cast out her—and your—fear. Seeing life in light of the cross will help you avoid fear, overcome fear when you can’t avoid it, and live beyond fear when you don’t overcome it. You don't have to be afraid of all the things.

Only it’s not McGee’s heart that’s in danger. He soon realizes that he’s run afoul of a vicious syndicate, and neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night will keep them from collecting McGee’s head.

Download or read book Ribbons of Scarlet written by Kate Quinn and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The French Revolution comes alive through the eyes of six diverse and complex women, in the skilled hands of these amazing authors.”--Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls A breathtaking, epic novel illuminating the hopes, desires, and destinies of princesses and peasants, harlots and wives, fanatics and philosophers—seven unforgettable women whose paths cross during one of the most tumultuous and transformative events in history: the French Revolution. Ribbons of Scarlet is a timely story of the power of women to start a revolution—and change the world. In late eighteenth-century France, women do not have a place in politics. But as the tide of revolution rises, women from gilded salons to the streets of Paris decide otherwise—upending a world order that has long oppressed them. Blue-blooded Sophie de Grouchy believes in democracy, education, and equal rights for women, and marries the only man in Paris who agrees. Emboldened to fight the injustices of King Louis XVI, Sophie aims to prove that an educated populace can govern itself--but one of her students, fruit-seller Louise Audu, is hungrier for bread and vengeance than learning. When the Bastille falls and Louise leads a women’s march to Versailles, the monarchy is forced to bend, but not without a fight. The king’s pious sister Princess Elisabeth takes a stand to defend her brother, spirit her family to safety, and restore the old order, even at the risk of her head. But when fanatics use the newspapers to twist the revolution’s ideals into a new tyranny, even the women who toppled the monarchy are threatened by the guillotine. Putting her faith in the pen, brilliant political wife Manon Roland tries to write a way out of France’s blood-soaked Reign of Terror while pike-bearing Pauline Leon and steely Charlotte Corday embrace violence as the only way to save the nation. With justice corrupted by revenge, all the women must make impossible choices to survive--unless unlikely heroine and courtesan’s daughter Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe can sway the man who controls France’s fate: the fearsome Robespierre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've read about the Civil War from the American point of view---now read it from the European!Margaret Mitchell studied the Second Empire in writing her book Gone with the Wind. Both Eugénie and Scarlett were high-spirited and vivacious. They were frustrated by an elusive love and jealous of the women that their men preferred. ¿Desolate and sick of an old passion¿, they were unable to find married happiness and could only be ¿faithful in their fashion¿ so that their husbands found satisfaction elsewhere and Napoleon deliberately flaunted mistresses and marketed Paris as a city of sensual and luxurious delights, thereby creating its unique mystique.Scarlett¿s story crescendoed to the burning of Atlanta; Eugénie¿s crescendoed to the Franco-Prussian War. They each had to flee to save themselves. Scarlett had to weed and hoe and pick cotton; Eugénie had to sell her jewels and adapt to an austere lifestyle in England. The official name of Scarlett and Rhett¿s daughter was Eugénie Victoria (before they nicknamed her Bonnie Blue Butler). Both Scarlett and Eugénie wore hats purchased from the Parisian street rue de la Paix. Eugénie kept a secret man¿s photograph in her private boudoir; Scarlett kept a tintype of Ashley in a drawer of her dressing table. Both Scarlett and Eugénie lost a beloved child. The prime years of Eugénie and Scarlett were the same¿starting in 1861 when the South had just declared war; and 1861 when Eugénie became the most powerful woman in the world. The main theme of their lives was survival, with what Margaret Mitchell called ¿gumption¿. Comparing the women, you¿ll feel a sense of déjà vu.Mary Todd Lincoln tried to copy Eugenie¿s fashions from Godey¿s Lady¿s Book. She presented a magnificent ball emulating a Fête Impériale while her son Willie was mortally sick upstairs. She had her White House china bordered with solferino purple which Eugenie popularized, and spent some of her last years in Pau in the Pyrenees near Biarritz which Eugenie made famous.
