Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVDIVTracing her moral struggles to the day she accidentally took a sip of water before her Communion—a mortal sin—Mary McCarthy gives us eight funny and heartrending essays about the illusive and redemptive nature of memory/divDIV “During the course of writing this, I’ve often wished that I were writing fiction.”/divDIV Originally published in large part as standalone essays in the New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar, Mary McCarthy’s acclaimed memoir begins with her recollections of a happy childhood cut tragically short by the death of her parents during the influenza epidemic of 1918./divDIV Tempering memory with invention, McCarthy describes how, orphaned at six, she spent much of her childhood shuttled between two sets of grandparents and three religions—Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish. One of four children, she suffered abuse at the hands of her great-aunt and uncle until she moved to Seattle to be raised by her maternal grandparents. Early on, McCarthy lets the reader in on her secret: The chapter you just read may not be wholly reliable—facts have been distilled through the hazy lens of time and distance./divDIV In Memories of a Catholic Girlhood, McCarthy pays homage to the past and creates hope for the future.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. IN CHARGE OF THE SMALLPOX HOSPITAL. When Mother Baptist had completed the long term of officex allowed to a Foundress, in May, 1867, she ceased to be Superioress and became Assistant to the new Reverend Mother, Mary Gabriel Brown; but after the shortest interval allowable, namely three years, the burden of "superiority" was laid upon her once more, as it was again and again in precisely similar circumstances until the end. This first break was considered a proper time for the execution of a project which seemed to many of the Community useful and even necessary--namely, that Mother Baptist should visit Europe and Ireland for the purpose of getting more suitable postulants, who were by no means numerous in this newest of the United States. But the Bishop of San Francisco, Dr. Alemany, held very strict and very wise views as to the general inexpediency of such journeys, and the idea was abandoned. Mother Baptist was called, as 1 "Six years by appointment and then the two triennials allowed by the Constitution," says the author of Leaves from the Annals of the Sisters of Mercy, who adds: . "To the great grief of her subjects she would uot accept a dispensation from Rome, which they unanimously desired." we have already said, on the first opportunity to fill again a double term of office, from 1870 to 1876; and, when in the latter year she was again free from those responsibilities, the project of a pilgrimage to Europe was revived, but it was not carried out until nearly two years later. Before, however, we accompany Mother Baptist on her one visit to the Old Country, we must find room for some particulars belonging to an earlier date. In the summer of 1868 there was a terrible outbreak of smallpox in San Francisco. The Sisters...

Download or read book A Sunday in Ordinary Time written by Mary Ann Grossman and published by . This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sleepy Italian hill town, around 1850, a young family awakes one morning to find a newborn baby girl on their doorstep. She is dressed richly, swaddled with care and sleeps peacefully in the little basket that serves as her bed. A downy patch of red hairs peeks through her lace bonnet. The family, without discussion, takes the baby in and raises her as their own. That baby was my maternal great-great-grandmother. She would be the oldest member of the Giordano family to immigrate to the United Sates in 1917. Over five generations, my memoir traces a family's life from the hills of Umbria to the mountains of western Pennsylvania; from Montreal's glistening snow and skyscrapers to New York's vibrancy, tragedy and continual renewal. Inspired in part by "An American Childhood," Annie Dillard's lyrical autobiography set in Pittsburgh, my memoir tells of a sheltered childhood rooted in family and small town tradition and a coming of age challenged by the inevitable forces of change. Above all, it is the story of the ultimate survival and strengthening of those family bonds that are both primal and liberating.
Download or read book Miriam s Words written by Miriam Barber Judd and published by . This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miriam Barber Judd was a missionary, a college-educated woman, a mother, a deeply faithful woman, and a strong leader for the empowerment of women. Yet the role she was most known for, at least publicly, was as the wife of Congressman Walter H. Judd. In this role, she had tea with Eleanor Roosevelt, lunch with Mamie Eisenhower, went boating with the Kennedys, met dignitaries and movie stars, and became friends with the Nixons. In this deeply moving collection of letters, we see the depth of this amazing woman's life. We see her as the young woman living in China in the midst of incredible civil turmoil, where she clung to her children while fleeing across the countryside to escape invasion by the Japanese. We see her yearning to be with a husband whose passion for human service keeps him at a great distance. Through her private writings, we see her fears as she raises three young daughters-practically alone. We see the tension between being dutiful wife and conflicted mistress to a man's work. We see the strife of being an educated, strong woman at a time when a woman's purpose was to keep house. "Miriam's Words: The Personal Price of a Public Life" is more than a collection of letters-it is history unfolding. It is the evolution of human rights, women's rights, and civil rights. It is the journey of one woman who was prepared for anything, but reluctant about the direction of her husband's life in public service. Through her strength, her faith, her work with the YWCA-we clearly see the woman behind the man. "Miriam's Words" is a poignant, first-person, real-time account of a woman who set out to right wrongs, to make a difference, and to lead the way for generations to come.
