The funniest literary novel I have ever read' The Times Jacob and Julia Bloch are about to be tested . . . By Jacob's grandfather, who won't go quietly into a retirement home.

Download or read book I Am in Here written by Elizabeth M. Bonker and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She looked into my eyes and blinked hers slowly and deliberately, like a stroke victim, to show me that although she couldn't speak, she understood what I was saying to her. I stroked her hair softly. 'I know you're in there, honey,' I told her. 'We'll get you out.'" Despite the horror of seeing fifteen-month-old Elizabeth slip away into autism, her mother knew that her bright little girl was still in there. When Elizabeth eventually learned to communicate, first by using a letterboard and later by typing, the poetry she wrote became proof of a glorious, life-affirming victory for this young girl and her family. I Am in Here is the spiritual journey of a mother and daughter who refuse to give up hope, who celebrate their victories, and who keep trying to move forward despite the obstacles. Although she cannot speak, Elizabeth writes poetry that shines a light on the inner world of autism and the world around us. That poetry and her mother's stirring storytelling combine in this inspirational book to proclaim that there is always a reason to take the next step forward--with hope.

It’s a heartbreaking, powerful and inspiring depiction of what it's like to shatter your life—and piece it all back together. You can’t trust Life to give you decent parents, or beautiful eyes, a fine French accent or an outstanding flair for fashion. No, Life does what it wants. It’s sneaky as a thief. Maisie's first day of High school should be exciting, but all she wants is to escape. Her world is lonely and chaotic, with an abusive mother and a father who’s rarely there to help. So when Maisie, who finds refuge in her art, meets the spirited Rachel and her mother, a painter, she catches a glimpse of a very different world—one full of life, creativity, and love—and latches on. But as she discovers her strengths through Rachel’s family, Maisie, increasingly desperate, finds herself risking new friendships, and the very future she's searching for. An Imprint Book

I thought a marriage to a man I loved would fix my broken foundation and cure all the pains I had collected during my life. Turns out, I gave my life to the man who almost took it. You may not understand how I believe a kidnapping, everyone I loved leaving me, and basically losing my "perfect" life could be a miracle, but standing in my shoes, there is no other explanation. This is my story; I hope you don't judge me, but it happened and made me who I am. I can't help but to think you may find a little of yourself in it too. I found the healing to be the hardest, yet best part of the story.
Download or read book I am Here Abraham Said written by Nigel Rapport and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most significant philosophical voices of the twentieth century – the philosopher of ‘the Other’ – Emmanuel Levinas’ work offers a challenge to the discipline of anthropology that claims knowledge of the human. For Levinas, the ‘secrecy’ of subjectivity – a fundamental facet of the human condition – demands an ethics of ignorance and not-knowing; the mystery of otherness is only to be approached through ‘inspiration’. Can anthropology meet a Levinasian challenge if it would define itself as a science as well as a humanistic documentation of social life? This book endeavours to take Levinasian and anthropological precepts equally seriously and offers a tentative accommodation.
Download or read book I AM HERE ONLY written by Rachna Vinod and published by Inkalab publication. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My love for reading, writing and traveling often takes me to different parts of the my country and the world. Interaction with people belonging to various cultures makes me more and more aware of the fact that whatever be the race, whatever be the culture and whatever be the region, the underlying feelings of the people remain same. Each one is a soldier whether in uniform or civil dress. A soldier in uniform is often described as the one who defends the country and who maintains law and order. The same is expected of a person in civil i.e. to defend his/her family, boundaries of his/her house besides being loyal to the country and maintaining law and order in the society. The agony and joy are felt and expressed in the same way but the reasons for reactions to such situations may differ owing to local dissimilarity. Invariably my writings take generality of characters and places which can be easily be identified in real life in any corner of the world.It is important for me to acknowledge immensely supportive my husband Mr. Vinod Gupta in this journey of words for bringing out " I AM HERE ONLY! - Rachna Vinod

Download or read book Believe That I Am Here written by Nicole Gausseron and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true account of one woman's conversations with Christ reveals a personal relationship with Jesus. In a small, simple chapel during the celebration of the Eucharist, Jesus revealed his presence to Nicole Gausseron and began speaking to her. The first in a series of three books, Gausseron documents her conversations with Christ. Nicole Gausseron is not a visionary. She was born to a prosperous French family and was educated to be a professor. Translated from French, this volume is a record of Gausseron's first encounter with Christ and many others, kept daily in her "petit cahier"--her little notebook. Devoid of the reverential tone often found in works of piety, Gausseron's journals read more like Gospel accounts of Jesus' ministry, episodic, terse, and objective. The value of the notebooks lies in their cogent reminder that Jesus lives and seeks a personal relationship with those who believe in him.
