Download or read book Take These Broken Wings and Learn to Fly written by Brenda J Grodzicki and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of neglect, abuse, loneliness, and ultimately redemption. It documents the life of Prudy Hopkins from her infancy, childhood, and teenage years in an orphanage where all her energy goes into merely surviving the best way that she can. There is no coddling or snuggling, just a handful of women taking care of her basic needs for food, shelter, and clothing. Due to a cleft palate and lip, Prudy is singled out and becomes the subject of sympathy from adults, curiosity and alienation from her peers, and abuse from misfit children who torture her because it makes them feel better about themselves. As a result, Prudy isolates herself from everyone and refuses to let anybody get close to her. After having been the subject of unspeakable violence as a teenager, she is forced to evaluate her life. Through the help of her high school English teacher and an incredible therapist, she finally learns to trust and let people penetrate the walls she has put up around herself. But after a heartbreaking, sudden, and shocking loss, she puts the fortifications back up and entrenches herself inside them. It isn’t until she meets Tom, who refuses to be daunted by her defensiveness toward him, that she is finally able to let someone in again. The rest of the story is about her life as an adult—the trials and triumphs that are unique to her. It is a beautiful and tender account of one woman’s journey through self-discovery, continued reevaluation, and the reinvention of herself.

Book excerpt: "You're going to do what?" His wife's startled question says it all. But when Dr. Ken Walker (W. Gifford-Jones) sat down to write a book, neither he nor his wife foresaw the problems that lay ahead. Ken Walker has been hotel doctor, ship's surgeon, family physician, surgical specialist, syndicated medical journalist, and maverick. For 25 years his weekly newspaper column has reached five million readers in Canada. And his common-sensical, folksy style has endeared him to many. But few people know the price he's paid for refusing to sit on the fence about controversial social issues. This book tells what it's like to be a syndicated medical journalist. How it's been the best and the worst of times. How the experience has shaped his thinking on the grave problems facing patients and society. It's the inside story of his battle against huge odds to legalize heroin to ease the agony of terminal cancer pain. The toll it took on his family when he decided to perform legal abortions. How renowned organizations sometimes distort the truth. Clark Davey, former managing editor of the Globe and Mail, warned Ken Walker that life would never be the same once he started writing a newspaper column. It never has been.

Westminster Avenue is a novel that examines love between different ethnic couples in America during most of the twentieth century. As is the case in real life, love is the most powerful human emotion human beings experience, spanning both joy and sorrow! No one has yet figured out why people fall in love with each other. The truth is, it can be a number of reasons, including the often quoted saying Opposites attract! But this author suspects it runs much deeper than that. Whatever it is, love affects all human beings emotionally from the pinnacle of happiness to the depth of despair. Westminster Avenue examines interracial love in America in spite of the fact this culture vehemently opposes it. Since love is ubiquitous, the author expands this novel beyond the main couple in this book to include other couples who also fall in love despite racial differences. Men and women continue to seek love even after experiencing painful relationships with a previous partner. Love is the driving force in our lives, and the truth is, people never know where they will find it.

Download or read book The Migrant Canon in Twenty First Century France written by Oana Sabo and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Migrant Canon in Twenty-First-Century France explains the causes of twenty-first-century global migrations and their impact on French literature and the French literary establishment. A marginal genre in 1980s France, since the turn of the century “migrant literature” has become central to criticism and publishing. Oana Sabo addresses previously unanswered questions about the proliferation of contemporary migrant texts and their shifting themes and forms, mechanisms of literary legitimation, and notions of critical and commercial achievement. Through close readings of novels (by Mathias Énard, Milan Kundera, Dany Laferrière, Henri Lopès, Andreï Makine, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, Alice Zeniter, and others) and sociological analyses of their consecrating authorities (including the Prix littéraire de la Porte Dorée, the Académie française, publishing houses, and online reviewers), Sabo argues that these texts are best understood as cultural commodities that mediate between literary and economic forms of value, academic and mass readerships, and national and global literary markets. By examining the latest literary texts and cultural agents not yet subjected to sufficient critical study, Sabo contributes to contemporary literature, cultural history, migration studies, and literary sociology.
