Download or read book We Carry Smoke and Paper written by Melody S. Gee and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Answering an unexpected call to faith in her thirties, Melody Gee contends with what saying “yes” to conversion requires of an adopted daughter of Chinese immigrants. Faced with a new framework for her place in the world, grief and doubt shadow her tentative steps toward becoming a believer. She looks for answers and consolation in her family’s story of immigration trauma and cultural assimilation, in the ways their burdens and limitations made her answer-seeking both impossible and inevitable. In essays that explore the parallels between conversion and language acquisition, isolated liturgies, cultural inheritances, stalled initiations, disrupted storytelling, and adoption, Gee examines conversion’s grief and hope, losses and gains, hauntings and promises. We Carry Smoke and Paper is a memoir about what we owe to those who sacrifice everything for us, and it is about the many conversions in a lifetime that turn our heads via whispers and shouts, calling us to ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a woman to do when all she’s ever wanted was a happy, healthy family of her own, but now has nothing left to screw up? She has two choices: she can give up completely or start choosing herself, one day at a time. That’s exactly the choice Kimberly Sigurdson made: to heal, moment by moment. Growing up amid dysfunction, anger, and emotionally unavailable parents, Kimberly soon lost her voice and became a people pleaser. As she grew older, this led to dysfunctional relationships, where she put others’ needs before her own and made unhealthy choices. She felt stuck and unworthy and struggled with low self esteem. When an autoimmune disease flare-up landed her in the hospital at thirty-seven, Kimberly decided it was time to change her life. As her healing journey progressed, she found writing helped her release her thoughts and feelings and allowed her to share with the people she needed to. As Kimberly healed from her past, her letters changed. Her growth mindset provided a path to evolution, and she grew from writing from a place of self-pity to writing from a place of feeling grateful and empathetic to those who had hurt her. Follow Kimberly on her healing journey as she realizes it was never about not being good enough. Learn alongside her as she discovers that the way people treat others reflects how they feel about themselves and what they’ve been through in their own lives.

Book excerpt: In 1935, Dottie Krasinsky is the epitome of the modern girl.

Yet at heart, she is a dutiful daughter, living with her Yiddish-speaking parents on the Lower East Side. So when, after a single careless night, she finds herself in a family way by a charismatic but unsuitable man, she is desperate: unwed, unsure, and running out of options. After the birth of five children - and twenty years as a housewife - Dottie's immigrant mother, Rose, is itching to return to the social activism she embraced as a young woman. With strikes and breadlines at home and National Socialism rising in Europe, there is much more important work to do than cooking and cleaning. So when she realizes that she, too, is pregnant, she struggles to reconcile her longings with her faith

Book excerpt: The reappearance of Mariela Fairman's husband, seven years after he mysteriously vanished, launches her into a tortuous whirlpool of love, guilt, hope and loss. Living on the south west coast of Ireland in a dilapidated manor house that is both a retreat and a prison, struggling to raise her cold and rejecting son, and caring for a man who is confused and dangerous, Mariela fights to make sense of who she is. As her life intertwines with those of two other women, both with their own secrets, she learns how, and crucially, where, to look for meaning, even if it challenges her to accept the existence of a world beyond the human one she knows. The Mothers is a thoughtful and provocative story of maternal guilt, a modern fairy tale that asks what we think we know and how we understand what happens to us. It follows one woman's quest for survival as her dreams disintegrate and she is thrust into an existence that sets life against death, reality against fantasy, and motherhood against selfhood. "e;Deliciously melancholy storytelling"e;"e;A great build-up of mysteries to unpack as the story continues"e;"e;The language and imagery used in this piece are wonderful, a joy to read"e;- Judges' feedback, Jericho Writers Friday Night Live Competition 2020

Book excerpt: As inspiring as The Last Lecture, an unforgettable memoir that reminds us all to live each day with adventure and joy For Kate Greene, nothing was as important as her two little boys, Reef and Finn, and her loving husband, St. John, known as “Singe.” Together, they shared a wonderfully happy family life—until Kate was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer. During her final days, Kate created what she called Mum’s List. She included simple things like “look for four-leaf clovers” and “take them for walks along mummy’s favorite beach.” The list became Singe’s rock. Mom’s List is the book that Singe never wanted to write, but—in sharing the wisdom and inspiration that buoyed him during his darkest hours—he pays tribute to his beloved wife and the life she dreamed of for their sons after she was gone.

Download or read book The Mummy Unwrapped written by Thomas M. Feramisco and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mummy came to life in the 1940s out of Universal Pictures' need to produce quick turnaround, low budget "B" movies. Universal produced The Mummy's Hand, The Mummy's Tomb, The Mummy's Ghost, and The Mummy's Curse (originally The Mummy's Return) and thus created a popular franchise that is still supported today by a following of loyal fans. (Universal was prompted to produce a remake of its Mummy films in 1999.) This book is devoted entirely to Universal's Mummy movies of the 1940s. It reveals lost action and dialogue by analyzing scenes that were edited out days before The Mummy's Hand was released to theaters, treats readers to other dialogue that was filmed and then cut down to almost nothing before being included in the films, and compares and contrasts the original story of The Mummy's Return to the final shooting script of what was later renamed The Mummy's Curse. Each of the films has its own chapter, and chapters are also devoted to the actors who played the heroes, heroines, high priests, victims, and mummies in the films, and to the filmmakers who brought the mummies to life.
