Book excerpt: First you marry a man who does not want children. He cheats and you divorce him. Then you marry the love of your life and find out he does not want to have children with you either. The three he has are more than enough. Although you always wanted to be a mother, you decide he is worth the sacrifice, expecting to have a long happy life together. But that's not what happens. This is the story of how a woman becomes childless by marriage and how it affects every aspect of her life. This is the book of my heart, the one I had to write. Ever since I realized I was not going to have children, I have felt recurring grief and an emptiness in my heart. I am different from most women, but I have found that I am not alone. There are many of us childless women, and I think it's important to share our stories about what it's like when you don't have children in a world where most girls grow up to become mothers. I hope this book offers comfort to those who are childless and understanding to those who are not. If it makes you smile here and there, even better.

Download or read book Immigrant Secrets written by John F. Mancini and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My father never mentioned his Italian immigrant family. Never. We only knew - or thought we knew - that his parents died in the 1930s. Except they didn't. I spent decades working with records managers, archivists, and genealogists on the technologies used to preserve information. Despite this, I never spent any time looking at my own family history. The only thing my father ever said about his family was that his parents died in the 1930s. Once I began the search for my grandparents, I mostly ran into frustrating dead-ends - until the release of the 1940 Census. My grandparents magically appeared in the Census - but as "inmates" at the Rockland Insane Asylum - along with an extended family of aunts and uncles and cousins, all living within driving distance, but never mentioned.What happened? Who were these people? And why all the secrecy?The book is part mystery, part family history, part historical reconstruction. The story in the book of the search itself is a rather typical family history journey, albeit one that revealed things I never could have imagined about our family. The story in the book of my Italian grandparents is in fact a story. But it is, as they say in the movie industry, "based on a true story." As Christian columnist and New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans said in her 2018 book Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again, "Origin stories are rarely straightforward history. Over the years, they morph into a colorful amalgam of truth and myth, nostalgia and cautionary tale."
