Download or read book The Merola s written by Alice J. Adessio and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, “THE MEROLA’S” is the story of my ancestors including both my maternal and paternal grandparents and their voyage to America on the same ship. It provides current and future generations of our family with both the Petrizzi and the Merola Family Trees. It also gives a little information about the Adessio family. It covers seven generations of my family, contains little snippets of their life and many photographs and documents of the families through the ages. It includes an illustration of the S.S. Neustria on which they traveled fromItaly toAmerica, highlighting part of the ship’s manifest. The book contains photographs fromItaly and theUnited States over a period of nearly one hundred twenty-five years, from 1890 to 2012. My maternal grandfather and his two cousins arrived in America in 1886. They found the streets were not paved in gold, but they could earn a good living and support a family here. After two years they returned to Italyto find wives and came back to America in 1890 with their new brides. This book is their story. I had for many years wanted to create a family tree for the young people in the family, many of whom live out of state, those who as you spoke to them, usually said, “Who are you speaking about. Are they related, and if so, how are they related?” I created an extensive Family Tree. I went back seven generations, beginning in Italy and culmination in the United States. I decided that I wanted to tell the young people a little bit about their ancestors, so I included mini-biographies of my grandparents, aunts and uncles and some of my cousins who are no longer with us. I also included some short stories about them. At this point, I decided the younger members of the family now knew where they fitted in the family, and a little bit about their relative’s lives, but they couldn’t visualize what these people looked like, so I included photographs of these ancestors. I was able to collaborate with two of my cousins. I wrote the bios of the relatives and e-mailed them to these cousins and my sister for their clarification of what I had written. I had copies of documents and many photos of the family which I included. I then called my sister, making her crazy saying, “Momma had a photograph of so and so, and it looked like this, see if you can find it and mail it to me.” She always did. The information in this book was not obtained using Ancestory.com, which is not the most reliable source; rather, the stories and facts were handed down to us by our aunts and uncles over the years and as we recalled some of our experiences growing up. It depicts the life of a family of Italian immigrants, their pursuit of citizenship, the hardships and the challenges they faced. In reading the book you can see how times and concepts change, as well as the struggles of our ancestors and how they handled adversity and dealt with any obstacles they encountered. It shows how with perseverance and determination they prospered and became valued citizens. These people, my relatives, became doctors, lawyers, a District Attorney, clothing designers, pharmacists, CPAs, and a U.N. Representative to name a few. There were also many teachers, bookkeepers, business owners and managers, builders, architects, photo-engravers and engineers. It took me about two years to complete this project and deal with a publisher, but I finally achieved my goal. I had my book published, purchased the quantity I required and upon receiving the copies, sent them to all of my relatives and gave a few copies to close friends. It truly was a labor of love. It was very gratifying to receive notes, letters, phone calls and e-mails from my cousin&

Download or read book ME and SAM written by LeRoy Crume and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a skinny little country boy, born in a little community called, Swift, Missouri. Swift wasn’t big enough to be a town. It was just a dusty piece of farm land just off highway 61. That is not even charted on the map anymore. My Dad was a farmer. Not unlike most black men during that time in the south. He earned his living, (that is, if you could call it a living) by the sweat of his brow, plowing up farmland during the fall of the year, and planting come the spring of the year, and then came harvesting time a few months later. That was the ritual for blacks, and a few whites for the rest of their lives. That is, unless they were fortunate like some others, and got a chance to leave that hell hole called a farm. My dad, I’m sure like his father, and grand father before him did the same thing. Walking behind a plow and mules, planting then came the chopping of the cotton and after that came the picking of the cotton. Now that was a life’s ritual from the time you were big enough to walk and talk until you were ready for the grave. What a life. Now the Crume’s were fortunate enough to break that cycle at some point in life .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They Said I Wouldn't Make It. This is a book that needs to be read by all. It is full of everyday life situation. A book about one man's dreams and strggles to get custody of his ten siblings and reunite his family together again. This book is a pure inspiration to millions. I was always challenged by people that said that they were normal, telling me that I wouldn't make it in life because of how I was born. Not only is this book written from my heart, but it is also written through my pain and tears, triumphs and victories. It is my desire that kids that are born handicap would have the understanding that no on can make you handicap, if you chose not to be that handicap is a state of one's mind. It is my desire that the department of Social Services will remove the name 'foster' from kids. There is no such thing as a false child, all kids are real. For those that are single parents, I hope that you receive new strength. You can make it, don't give up. For the parents that have kids that were born handicap, if you want them normal, don't raise them handicap. For you that have lost your family through the system, don't give up, miracles still happen. For those of you that had been through sexual, physical, psychological, or any other abuse you can be healed. Many people's childhoods destroyed their adulthoods. For you this does not have to be so. Remember a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. Last, those who say they can and those wh say they can not, are both correct.

Download or read book The Art of Eating written by M. F. K. Fisher and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Should be required reading for every cook. It defines in a sensual and beautiful way the vital relationship between food and culture.”—Alice Waters This comprehensive volume of essays on culinary and other pleasures of life comes from the legendary and widely traveled writer “whose artful personal essays about food created a genre” (The New York Times) and who writes “practically, often profoundly, and always beautifully” (San Francisco Chronicle). Spanning from the autobiographical to the historical, it compiles her works Serve It Forth; Consider the Oyster; How to Cook a Wolf; The Gastronomical Me; and An Alphabet for Gourmets. “How wonderful to have here in my hands the essence of M.F.K. Fisher, whose wit and fulsome opinions on food and those who produce it, comment upon it, and consume it are as apt today as they were several decades ago, when she composed them. Why did she choose food and hunger she was asked, and she replied, ‘When I write about hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth, and the love of it…and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied.’ This is the stuff we need to hear, and to hear again and again.”—Julia Child “Mary Frances [Fisher] has the extraordinary ability to make the ordinary seem rich and wonderful. Her dignity comes from her absolute insistence on appreciating life as it comes to her.”—Ruth Reichl
