Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To desire something is to wish for it. To wish for it , to hope, Hope inspires faith. Faith influences family. Family fosters love. And love is our greatest desire.” By Mina P. Barry Imagine finding a story circa 1938, written by your deceased Mother when she was just 18 years old. Imagine reading it and discovering a novel so compelling, you forget who the author was and become immersed in a revelation of a family’s settlement years in the burgeoning West of the late 1800’s to the 1930’s. The charm of “The Jordans’ Journey”, a work of approximately 41,000 words, comes from its authenticity. The author, Mina Pruitt Barry, our mother, was a second-generation settler who was privy to the memories of her grandmother, Melissa Jordan Knight, who lived in Nebraska during our nation’s Westward Expansion. Mina was a talented writer when she penned this original piece, working at the same time as a journalist at a newspaper in Iowa, “The Daily Chief.” Upon reading her work, we, as educators, saw its merit and potential. We heard her “voice” and took the fledgling story to its present state. Synopsis Short Synopsis of “The Jordans’ Journey” by Susan Barry Burton and Patricia Barry Haggerty based on the work of Mina Pruitt Barry. In the beginning, the protagonists, Bruce and Vi Jordan, leave Illinois to pursue a new life in the Nebraska Territory. Can they successfully establish a viable life on the prairie? Can they overcome problems from their pasts?

Download or read book Jordan s Point Virginia written by Martha W. McCartney and published by Virginia Department of Historic Resource. This book was released on 2011 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jordan's Point, a nearly triangular promontory in the James River, is situated in Prince George County, just east of the confluence of the James and Appomattox Rivers. A broad terrace overlooking the James, Jordan's Point is bounded by small streams, tidal marshes, and protective uplands that rise to a height of 100 feet or more. In 1607, when the first European colonists saw Jordan's Point, it was graced by the homes and cleared fields of natives they would call the Weyanoke. Virginia colonist Samuel Jordan established a community called Jordan's Journey around 1621, giving his name to what became known as Jordan's Point. In time, the settlement became a hub of social and political life. By 1660, Jordan's Point had come into the possession of the Blands, one of England's most important mercantile families. They leased their property to one or more of their agents, usually merchants and mariners involved in inter-colonial trade. Richard Bland I and his descendants developed Jordan's Point into a family seat and working plantation they retained until after the Civil War. At Jordan's Point enslaved men, women, and children toiled in the fields, enabling the Blands to prosper. Richard Bland IV went on to become a distinguished American patriot, and one of his sons became a physician. Featuring more than one hundred photos and illustrations, most in color, and intended for a general reader, Jordan's Point, Virginia: Archaeology in Perspective, Prehistoric to Modern Times tells the story of Jordan's Point, which spans thousands of years, through the cultural features that archaeologists have unearthed there. This is a book that will attract readers interested in Native American studies, Virginia and colonial history, and archaeology. Distributed for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources
Download or read book A Journal for Jordan written by Dana Canedy and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A hauntingly beautiful account of a family fractured by war . . . filled with vivid and heartbreaking details.”—The New York Times Book Review NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • “Full of wonderful treasures offered by a unique and spirited father . . . written with serene grace: part memoir, part love story, all heart.”—James McBride, author of The Color of Water In 2005, Dana Canedy’s fiancé, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, began to write what would become a two-hundred-page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. He was killed by a roadside bomb on October 14, 2006. His son, Jordan, was seven months old. Inspired by his example, Dana was determined to preserve his memory for their son. A Journal for Jordan is a mother’s fiercely honest letter to her child about the parent he lost before he could even speak. It is also a father’s advice and prayers for the son he will never know. A father figure to the soldiers under his command, Charles moved naturally into writing to his son. In neat block letters, he counseled him on everything from how to withstand disappointment and deal with adversaries to how to behfrave on a date. And he also wrote of recovering a young soldier’s body, piece by piece, from a tank—and the importance of honoring that young man’s life. He finished the journal two months before his death while home on a two-week leave, so intoxicated with love for his infant son that he barely slept. This is also the story of Dana and Charles together—two seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply and lost each other too soon. A Journal for Jordan is a tender introduction, a loving good-bye, a reporter’s inquiry into her soldier’s life, and a heartrending reminder of the human cost of war.
Download or read book Journey Through Jordan written by Mohammed Amin and published by Interlink Publishing Group. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Eroticism: Georges Bataille and Pierre Klossowski in the Latin American Erotic Novel addresses a neglected chapter in the field of Latin American literature: the influence of Georges Bataille and Pierre Klossowski's atheist mysticism in the Latin American erotic novel of the twentieth century. Combining a Lacanian analytical framework with an (inter)textual approach, Juan Carlos Ubilluz reveals how Julio Cort&3225;zar, Salvador Elizondo, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Juan García Ponce adopted Bataille and Klossowski's aesthetic and philosophical models as a point of departure to rearticulate the modern subject's buried dimension of the sacred through various innovations on the erotic novel's form. Ubilluz also examines the dialectical irruption of these literary experiments into their particular aesthetic, theoretical, and political contexts; showing, for instance, that Cortázar's Rayuela and Elizondo's Farabeuf reintroduce a Bataillean sense of tragedy into the secularist nouveau roman, that Garía Ponce exemplifies the Barthian death of the Author by 'copying' with originality the form and content of Klossowski's novels, and that Vargas Llosa's Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto gives an unbecoming neo-liberal spin to Bataille and Klossowski's anti-capitalist theorization of the sacred.

Download or read book Clear Cut written by Ginny Jordan and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My body starts heaving. Exhaustion encases everything I do, even washing the kids' cereal bowls. It feels as though layers of thick gauze have wrapped themselves around the faces of my three children. A hardened grayness taking over the spaces between everything. Sealing the tissue between my ribs. Filling in the distance between the kitchen window and the soccer ball in the backyard. One doctor thinks I am still caught in the fist of the mononucleosis I contracted in college; another tells me that giving birth to three children is enough to swell anyone's glands and break open these rivers of mucous. Infection after infection keeps me from my kids' tennis matches and class trips to Canyonlands in Utah. The fatigue gathers in my chest, leaving my arms heavy and my fingers numb. Daily headaches send me back to bed after breakfast. The words "chronic illness" move into my house, wandering the rooms, trying to steal parts of my body. My thin, bare feet slide down the hall to wake up the children for school. I have no idea what is happening.
Download or read book The Ballad of Lord Edward and Citizen Small written by Neil Jordan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Academy Award-winning film director Neil Jordan comes an artful reimagining of an extraordinary friendship spanning the revolutionary tumult of the eighteenth century. South Carolina, 1781: the American Revolution. An enslaved man escaping to his freedom saves the life of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, a British army officer and the younger son of one of Ireland's grandest families. The tale that unfolds is narrated by Tony Small, the formerly enslaved man who becomes Fitzgerald's companion—and best friend. While details of Lord Edward's life are well documented, little is known of Tony Small, who is at the heart of this moving novel. In this gripping narrative, his character considers the ironies of empire, captivity, and freedom, mapping Lord Edward's journey from being a loyal subject of the British Empire to becoming a leader of the disastrous Irish rebellion of 1798. This powerful new work of fiction brings Neil Jordan's inimitable storytelling ability to the revolutions that shaped the eighteenth century—in America, France, and, finally, in Ireland.
Download or read book Seeking Jordan written by Matthew McKay, PhD and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have lost someone you deeply love, or have become strongly aware of your mortality, it’s hard to avoid wondering about life after death, the existence of God, notions of heaven and hell, and why we are here in the first place. The murder of Matthew McKay’s son, Jordan, sent him on a journey in search of ways to communicate with his son despite fears and uncertainty. Here he recounts his efforts — including past-life and between-lives hypnotic regressions, a technique called induced after-death communication, channeled writing, and more. McKay, a psychologist and researcher, ultimately learned how to reach his son. In this book he provides extraordinary revelations — direct from Jordan — about the soul’s life after death, how karma works, why we incarnate, why there is so much pain in the world, the single force that connects us, and our future as souls. Unlike many books about after-death communication, near-death experiences, and past-life memories, this is a book for those who do not believe yet yearn to know what happens after death. In addition to being riveting reading, Seeking Jordan is a unique heart-, soul-, and mind-stirring reflection on the issues each of us will ultimately face.

Download or read book Every Day The River Changes written by Jordan Salama and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhilarating travelogue for a new generation about a journey along Colombia’s Magdalena River, exploring life by the banks of a majestic river now at risk, and how a country recovers from conflict. "Richly observed." —Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review An American writer of Argentine, Syrian, and Iraqi Jewish descent, Jordan Salama tells the story of the Río Magdalena, nearly one thousand miles long, the heart of Colombia. This is Gabriel García Márquez’s territory—rumor has it Macondo was partly inspired by the port town of Mompox—as much as that of the Middle Eastern immigrants who run fabric stores by its banks. Following the river from its source high in the Andes to its mouth on the Caribbean coast, journeying by boat, bus, and improvised motobalinera, Salama writes against stereotype and toward the rich lives of those he meets. Among them are a canoe builder, biologists who study invasive hippopotamuses, a Queens transplant managing a failing hotel, a jeweler practicing the art of silver filigree, and a traveling librarian whose donkeys, Alfa and Beto, haul books to rural children. Joy, mourning, and humor come together in this astonishing debut, about a country too often seen as only a site of war, and a tale of lively adventure following a legendary river.
