Download or read book The Words in My Hands written by Asphyxia and published by Annick Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part coming of age, part call to action, this fast-paced #ownvoices novel about a Deaf teenager is a unique and inspiring exploration of what it means to belong. Smart, artistic, and independent, sixteen year old Piper is tired of trying to conform. Her mom wants her to be “normal,” to pass as hearing, to get a good job. But in a time of food scarcity, environmental collapse, and political corruption, Piper has other things on her mind—like survival. Piper has always been told that she needs to compensate for her Deafness in a world made for those who can hear. But when she meets Marley, a new world opens up—one where Deafness is something to celebrate, and where resilience means taking action, building a com-munity, and believing in something better. Published to rave reviews as Future Girl in Australia (Allen & Unwin, Sept. 2020), this empowering, unforgettable story is told through a visual extravaganza of text, paint, collage, and drawings. Set in an ominously prescient near future, The Words in My Hands is very much a novel for our turbulent times.

Download or read book In Bed with the Victorians written by Vicky Holmes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the life-cycle of Victorian working-class marriage through a study of the hitherto hidden marital bed. Using coroners’ inquests to gain intimate access to the working-class home and its inhabitants, this book explores their marital, quasi-marital, and post-marital beds to reveal the material, domestic, and emotional experience of working-class marriage during everyday life and at times of crisis. Drawing on the recent approach of utilising domestic objects to explore interpersonal relationships, the marital bed not only provides a rereading of the experiences of the working-class wife but also brings the much maligned or simply overlooked working-class husband into the picture. Moreover, it also extends our understanding of the various marriage-like arrangements existing throughout this class. Moving through the marital life-cycle, this book provides a greater understanding of marriages from the outset, during childbirth, at times of strife and marital breakdown, and upon the death of a spouse.

Queen Alice of Algernon thought she had seen the last of the demon, Ralston Radburn, when she banished him to the underworld seven years ago. Unfortunately, traitors within her court, are plotting to revive the trapped monster, so that he may exact his revenge. In order to bring Ralston back to the world of the living, a very powerful spell must be recited inside the Cloud Shrine, during the approaching full moon. Matters are further complicated by the spell having been divided into two pieces, long ago, by the wizard, Octavius. When the traitors - who call themselves Calamity and Chaos - realize the locations of both halves, they waste no time in going after them. The Queen must gather her courage and set out on another adventure, gathering together old friends and welcoming in new ones. As always, her path is filled with danger - from pirates, to churning waterfalls, to amorous unwanted suitors. On this journey through realms, Alice must come to realize that though one star is lovely, many are magnificent. Follow Alice and her friends across The Sea of Fate, walk the warm beaches of Alexandria and pass through the gates of the Cloud Realm, in pursuit of two demons who have already brought down one empire. All this before the moon waxes full. For more information please go to candacecoonan.tripod.com.
