Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Devy Bruch, adopted in the late 1930s from the infamous Tennessee Children's Home Society, has lived a life of both privilege and despair. She searched for her biological family for the first seven decades of her life. In 1937, as an infant, she was stolen from her mother by the infamous Georgia Tann, bundled up, and sold to a wealthy couple from Pennsylvania. In her youth, Devy attended exclusive private schools, spent weekends at the Naval Academy, and experienced a debutante season befitting a fine upbringing. Then, as a young woman, she was plunged into deep despair when her husband left her with four young children and no income. She survived through her inner strength, determination, and spirituality. At the age of seventy-one, Devy made the decision to investigate her adoption and found that she had a sister that destiny had denied her for decades. She learned of the heinous truth of her origins-that of a small, sickly baby stolen from her birth mother and sold for profit during the depression. Now life has brought her full circle to enjoy both her own family and the birth family she finally discovered late in life.

Download or read book Mama I Don t Wanna Die written by Aniwo Jo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MAMA, I DONâ T WANNAâ DIE!â This book depicts the life of an average young teenage Afro-American boy, whose name is Sean. He is unlike some of our youth of today. He thought that his life at home with his little brother, Mom, and stepfather was so miserable and boring. He couldnâ t accept having a stepfather over him. So many of our youth are battling with this same issue today. His parents were too strict, so he rebelled against all of their rules. They were trying to rear him to be a decent and respectable young man. He was very bitter because of his parents divorce. He turned against his family and sought fun and excitement with his friends. His Mom tried to warn him that he was keeping bad company, but he refused to heed the warning. Sean thought that his Mom just didnâ t like any of his friends. He and his started getting into a lot of trouble at school and in the neighbor hood. Soon they were in big trouble with the law, arrested, and thrown in jail. Sentence was passed and Sean was on his way to the electric chair for murder, double homicide, and there seemed to be no way of escape for him. This is a strong message for our young people today. This is a lesson to be learned. Everyone that say that they are your friends, arenâ t really your friends. They are your friends as long as you do what they do, or what they tell you to do, but those are not really true friends. So, be careful, and choose your friends wisely. Know this, your parents have your best interest at heart. They love you, and want the best for you. You will understand it more clearly when you get older and wiser. Please read and enjoy. Thank You.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A provocative examination of our health care delivery for the poor. . . . Such an honest and candid account is essential.” —Alex Kotlowitz, national bestselling author of There Are No Children Here Mama Might Be Better Off Dead immerses readers in the lives of four generations of a poor, African-American family from North Lawndale, Chicago, who are beset with the devastating illnesses that are all too common in America’s inner-cities. Headed by Jackie Banes, who oversees the care of a diabetic grandmother, a husband on kidney dialysis, an ailing father, and three children, the Banes family contends with countless medical crises. From visits to emergency rooms and dialysis units, to trials with home care, to struggles for Medicaid eligibility, Laurie Kaye Abraham chronicles their access—or lack thereof—to medical care. Their story reveals an inadequate health care system that is further undermined by the effects of poverty. Mama Might Be Better Off Dead is an unsettling, profound look at the human face of health care in America. This new edition includes an incisive foreword by David Ansell, a physician who worked at Mt. Sinai Hospital, where much of the Banes family’s narrative unfolds. “Goes to the heart of today’s problem. Powerful . . . deeply searching.” —Washington Post “A powerful indictment of the big business of medicine.” —Los Angeles Times “Abraham . . . illuminates the problems with passion and skill.” —Kirkus Reviews “This personally observed, lucid chronicle and call for reform of our ailing health system covers all levels of responsibility in the medical establishment.” —Publishers Weekly “Clearly identifies in human and policy terms how [healthcare] programs have failed a population desperately in need of help.” —Library Journal

Mama told her she must have fallen or something and not to worry. Sarah went away feeling sad; her chance for help was gone! It was Sarah's alter, Susie, who had been sticking pencils and other items in her private place. Susie had come when Sarah was only four years old. Susie had become Daddy's 'special' little girl by sitting on his lap. In return he gave her a dollar for any change she had. Daddy played with Susie's pee pee and it was Susie that slept in the upstairs bedroom with her fourteen-year-old brother. Later in life, two other alters would appear. "You Love Your Daddy, Don't You?" is told through the memories of Sarah. It reveals a child's determination to survive despite profound emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. This was compounded by constant neglect from both parents.
