Download or read book From My Mother written by Darcy Leech and published by eLectio Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riveting, soulful, and courageously told, From My Mother is a meditation on grief, family, genetic disease and also a deeply personal account of the narrator's coming-of-age amid medical crisis and tragedy to carry on the lessons from her mother to raise her young son. A story of loss on many levels, From My Mother is a moving book that transforms suffering into art and inspiration. Leech weaves a beautiful tapestry of the enduring mysteries of what dormant harbingers of genetic disease may lurk within, the surprising possibilities in loss, and the deep resilience of the human spirit as the body weakens. From My Mother leaves the reader pondering the value of genetic testing, the beauty in a disease easy to accept as genetic fault, and the heart wrenching question of when life should be sustained by machine or ended by choice.

Download or read book The Last Life written by Claire Messud and published by HMH. This book was released on 2000-09-28 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “mesmerizing” novel of a family falling apart by the New York Times bestselling author of The Burning Girl. Set in colonial Algeria, the south of France, and New England, and narrated by a fifteen-year-old girl with a ruthless regard for the truth, The Last Life is the tale of the LaBasse family, whose quiet integrity is shattered by the shots from a grandfather’s rifle. As their world suddenly begins to crumble, long-hidden shame emerges: a son abandoned by the family before he was even born, a mother whose identity is not what she has claimed, and a father whose act of defiance brings Hotel Bellevue—the family business—to its knees. From the PEN/Faulkner Award-nominated author of The Emperor’s Children, named one of the best books of the year by the New York Times Book Review, this novel skillfully reveals how the stories we tell ourselves, and the lies to which we cling, can turn on us in a moment. “[A] tour de force . . . every step feels stunningly sure.” —Vogue

Download or read book Exchange Operation written by Norberta de Melo and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2021-07-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Attorney General Roberto Nascimento and his beloved Nina Moreira apparently formed a couple who were experiencing a period of peace. Even though they lived in different cities, they saw each other relatively often. His second term was less tumultuous than the first, during which General Cleaning Operation in Pindoretama was launched. Many people were already serving time, or at least they had been arrested or were responding to several lawsuits. It seemed that everything was under relative control. It was what it looked like, but this was not, however, their reality. One careless move and it could all come crashing down. There were a lot of people trying to take revenge from them. His enemies would not leave him alone. They knew that. Even an assassination attempt against the attorney had already happened. So, any slip could be fatal. Not only in the professional field but also in personal life. Nina could cause a lot because of their love. Even for a woman of her own mind like her, there were limits she knew she shouldn't go over. Would he be able to perceive this and stop when necessary? This was an issue that would become central to their lives. ****** Roberto participated in the trials of the Supreme Court of Justice as a member of the Public Ministry. These sessions were far from routine, as they used to be before General Cleaning Operation. The nation's eyes were on TV Cidadã. The trials were followed by the population with great interest. It was as if each of them were a soap opera chapter, only instead of fiction, they were real life. For the Attorney General, the sessions had a taste of victory, because getting there had been the result of his work and that of many people who believed that he could change the country. Pindoretama is a relatively new country, with a history of coups d'état, and short intervals of democracy. The political cla

Download or read book The Diary of Helena Morley written by Helena Morley and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1942 under the title Minha Vida de Menina—Portuguese meaning “My Life as a Little Girl or “Young Girl”—this book is a diary that was kept by the author, Helena Morley (pseudonym of Alice Dayrell Caldeira Brant), when she was between the ages of twelve and fifteen (1893-1895), and living in Diamantina, a small diamond mining town in southeastern Brazil. The little girl describes her homework, her love of parades and dresses, her father who could scarcely make a living in the mines, and her most beloved grandmother. The diary was admired by French Novelist Georges Bernanos, and in 1957, award-winning American poet and writer Elizabeth Bishop, then resident in Brazil, translated it into English as The Diary of Helena Morley. “The more I read the book [Minha Vida de Menina ]the better I liked it. The scenes and events it described were odd, remote, and long ago, and yet fresh, sad, funny, and eternally true. The longer I stayed on in Brazil the more Brazilian the book seemed, yet much of it could have happened in any small provincial town or village, and at almost any period of history—at least before the arrival of the automobile and the moving-picture theatre.”—Elizabeth Bishop
