For over forty years, Anthony never thought he'd meet his birth mother. He had been subconsciously searching for her; a familiar face in the crowd, a hopeful feeling as he walked to the mailbox, but to no avail.

And how, even though you may not believe it, the wheels of fate are always turning.
Download or read book Last Letters from Attu written by Mary Breu and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etta Jones was not a World War II soldier or a war time spy. She was a school teacher whose life changed forever on that Sunday morning in June 1942 when the Japanese military invaded Attu Island and Etta became a prisoner of war. Etta and her sister moved to the Territory of Alaska in 1922. She planned to stay only one year as a vacation, but this 40 something year old nurse from back east met Foster Jones and fell in love. They married and for nearly twenty years they lived, worked and taught in remote Athabascan, Alutiiq, Yup’ik and Aleut villages where they were the only outsiders. Their last assignment was Attu. After the invasion, Etta became a prisoner of war and spent 39 months in Japanese POW sites located in Yokohama and Totsuka. She was the first female Caucasian taken prisoner by a foreign enemy on the North American Continent since the War of 1812, and she was the first American female released by the Japanese at the end of World War II. Using descriptive letters that she penned herself, her unpublished manuscript, historical documents and personal interviews with key people who were involved with events as they happened, her extraordinary story is told for the first time in this book.

Book excerpt: From NYT and USA Today bestselling author, Julie Cross, a Mature YA contemporary set in the tough world of Elite Gymnastics. Her family may be shattered, but her dreams aren't... Seventeen year old Karen Campbell has just lost both her parents in a tragic car accident. Grief stricken and alone, her gymnastics coach opens his home to Karen, providing her a place to live while she continues to train, working toward a spot on the world championship team. Coach Bentley’s only child, seventeen year old Jordan is good-looking and charming enough to scare away a girl like Karen—someone who has spent ten times more hours on balance beams and uneven bars than talking or even thinking about boys. But the two teens share a special connection almost immediately. It turns out Jordan has a tragic past of his own, grief buried for years. As Karen’s gymnastics career soars, her nightmares and visions of the horrible accident grow in strength. She can only avoid facing her grief for so long before it begins to surface and ultimately spin out of control in a very dangerous way. Can discovering love and lust (simultaneously) help with the grieving process or will it only provide a temporary distraction while waiting for reality to hit full force?

ABOUT RETURN TO YOU (Letters to Nowhere Volume 3) How many dreams can you chase at once? Even with bad boy, TJ, disrupting their morning workouts, Karen and Stevie’s daily battles with each other are sure to bring both of them closer to a national title at next month’s championships. It’s the kind of feud that creates winning results. Until a fall from the uneven bars shakes Karen’s rock-solid confidence. Not only does she balk every time she so much as attempts a routine, she’s also facing all this without much support from Jordan. After receiving some bad news, Jordan’s reluctance to listen to reason causes Karen so much frustration she begins to avoid him, needing space to deal with her own issues. He needs someone to force him to make the right choice, he needs his dad to intervene and Karen knows this, but is torn between her loyalty to Jordan and her concern for her coach’s son. Even though both paths lead to the same person—Jordan—it feels like she’s choosing between two different people. And then there’s the growing tension between TJ and Stevie. They’re obviously on the verge of either ripping each other’s heads off or ripping each other’s clothes off. It’s hard for either Jordan or Karen to tell where those two are headed. Tension is building from every possible outlet and there’s bound to be an explosion of some kind in the very near future.

Download or read book Correspondence and American Literature 1770 1865 written by Elizabeth Hewitt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Hewitt uncovers the centrality of letter-writing to antebellum American literature. She argues that many canonical American authors turned to the epistolary form as an idealised genre through which to consider the challenges of American democracy before the Civil War. The letter was the vital technology of social intercourse in the nineteenth century and was adopted as an exemplary genre in which authors from Crevecoeur and Adams through Jefferson, to Emerson, Melville, Dickinson and Whitman, could theorise the social and political themes that were so crucial to their respective literary projects. They interrogated the political possibilities of social intercourse through the practice and analysis of correspondence. Hewitt argues that although correspondence is generally only conceived as a biographical archive, it must instead be understood as a significant genre through which these early authors made sense of social and political relations in the nation.
Download or read book From Nowhere to Somewhere written by Miriam Jones and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miriam Jones is an immaculately authentic woman with a great life as a pastor in Australia and a big loving family of five children and twelve grandchildren in Kenya, Africa. You would never know that unbeknownst to people and behind closed doors, this woman’s idyllic life was tainted by pain and rejection festering in her heart—a product of growing up in extreme poverty and abuse. In this heart-tugging memoir, Miriam brings to life her experience growing up in an abusive home, rejected by everyone she loved and the shame that accompanied it. The emotional weight that she carried ultimately led to a suicide attempt of her and her children. In this text, Miriam exemplifies God’s mighty hand in every season of her life, though she was unaware of who he was and how, through the odds, she thrived and became the woman God intended her to be. From Nowhere to Somewhere is a memoir about realising that your past does not define you but the calling that God has on your life that will prevail. It is a powerful story about the power of forgiveness, obedience, and complete surrender.

One day she fell in silence. For a long. He`s in despair. He`s going to CCCP to «save her from KGB».Has he saved her? – Read on this book.Эти письма были написаны двадцать лет назад простой советской девушкой, юность которой пришлась на перестройку. Она писала их своему другу из Канады, который сохранил все её послания. Их встреча была случайной и мимолетной, но романтическая переписка длилась целую вечность.Она рассказывала ему о себе, о стране, о друзьях, о курьезах из детства, из жизни, словно старалась удержать в памяти тот мир, которого уже не будет.В этих живых, искренних посланиях, полных смеха и печали, читается боль утраты веры, сломанной эпохой гласности, и потерянность перед миром, привычные очертания которого распадались на её глазах.В них словно снят точный слепок с души типичного «хомо советикуса» – уходящей в небытие натуры, – вопросы, мучившие её, задавали себе в те годы многие – где искать опору духу, мятущемуся в тоске по искаженной реальности времени.

Download or read book Conquest of the New Word written by Johnny Payne and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American fiction won great acclaim in the United States during the 1960s, when many North American writers and critics felt that our national writing had reached a low ebb. In this study of experimental fiction from both Americas, Johnny Payne argues that the North American reception of the "boom" in Latin American fiction distorted the historical grounding of this writing, erroneously presenting it as mainly an exotic "magical realism." He offers new readings that detail the specific, historical relation between experimental fiction and various authors' careful, deliberate deformations and reformations of the political rhetoric of the modern state. Payne juxtaposes writers from Argentina and Uruguay with North American authors, setting up suggestive parallels between the diverse but convergent practices of writers on both continents. He considers Nelson Marra in conjunction with Donald Barthelme and Gordon Lish; Teresa Porzecanski with Harry Mathews; Ricardo Piglia with John Barth; Silvia Schmid and Manuel Puig with Fanny Howe and Lydia Davis; and Jorge Luis Borges and Luisa Valenzuela with William Burroughs and Kathy Acker. With this innovative, dual-continent approach, Conquest of the New Word will be of great interest to everyone working in Latin American literature, women's studies, translation studies, creative writing, and cultural theory.

Download or read book Richard Wright written by Keneth Kinnamon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African-American writer Richard Wright (1908-1960) was celebrated during the early 1940s for his searing autobiography (Black Boy) and fiction (Native Son). By 1947 he felt so unwelcome in his homeland that he exiled himself and his family in Paris. But his writings changed American culture forever, and today they are mainstays of literature and composition classes. He and his works are also the subjects of numerous critical essays and commentaries by contemporary writers. This volume presents a comprehensive annotated bibliography of those essays, books, and articles from 1983 through 2003. Arranged alphabetically by author within years are some 8,320 entries ranging from unpublished dissertations to book-length studies of African American literature and literary criticism. Also included as an appendix are addenda to the author's earlier bibliography covering the years from 1934 through 1982. This is the exhaustive reference for serious students of Richard Wright and his critics.
