Download or read book I Called Him Dad written by Fatima Ada Ishiaku and published by House of Fatima for Abused Girls Foundation. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Ishiaku Ada Fatima, born on December 25, 1975, in Kaduna state, Lagos Nigeria. I grew with a man that I thought was my dad, not knowing he wasn't my dad. I was sexually abused before the age of seven 'til I was fourteen years old. How I almost killed myself, how I lived on alcohol, how my mother treated me so badly. Now I'm using my story to help victims like me, to help them break their silence by speaking out and also to let the world know what sexually abused girls go through mostly in Nigeria and also to let people know that victims should not be bullied. I believe my book will help victims speak out and also open the eyes of society to see what victims go through that way people can help them and not bully them. Mothers in Africa believed victims should keep quiet because they see this act as a taboo while the victims die in silence. This book is about saving the girl child by breaking the silence.

Download or read book Kwa Mabinti written by Purity and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an extremely honest letter to daughters, written by a mother. It is a story of her life and the memories and experiences she has had. She has not had the easiest life growing up, but faith and people strategically placed in her life helped her survive and encouraged her to tell her story. She talks of the feeling of being rejected, of never being able to measure up to the expectations of others, of sexual abuse as a child, of mourning, of bad decisions in her life, of porn addiction, and of a feeling of not being fully accepted by those around her. It is a story of anger and hurt, of feeling vulnerable and unprotected. It is a story about the brokenness of humanity showing how we fail over and over again, and it tells how God readily gives us a second and third chance. It is also a story of God's forgiveness, of learning to forgive others; it is a story of God's healing. The letter is written to encourage the daughters to live a life of faith, one that pleases God no matter the circumstances they find themselves in. A letter that encourages them to hold on to God even if those around them do not; a story that tells them that just because others say they are Christians does not mean they will not hurt them or let them down. It also reminds them that they too will fail sometimes, and it tells them of the importance of picking themselves up, forgiving themselves, seeking forgiveness from God, and walking on the narrow path. We are all still human, Christian or not, and we should focus on God and not those around us. Only God sees and judges the heart of man.

Download or read book Harold Pinter written by Graham Saunders and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harold Pinter provides an up-to-date analysis and reappraisal concerning the work of one of the most studied and performed dramatists in the world. Drawing extensively from The Harold Pinter Archive at the British Library as well as reviews and other critical materials, this book offers new insights into previously established views about his work. The book also analyses and reappraises specific key historical and contemporary productions, including a selection of Pinter’s most significant screenplays. In particular, this volume seeks to assess Pinter’s critical reputation and legacy since his death in 2008. These include his position as a political writer and political activist – from disassociation and neutrality on the subject until relatively late in his career when his drama sought to explicitly address questions of political dissent and torture by totalitarian regimes. The book revisits some familiar territories such as Pinter’s place as a British absurdist and the role memory plays in his work, but it also sets out to explore new territories such as Pinter’s changing attitudes towards gender in the light of #MeToo and queer politics and how in particular a play such as The Caretaker (1960) through several key productions has brought the issues of race into sharper focus. Part of the Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatist series, Harold Pinter provides an essential and accessible guide to the dramatists’ work.
