Download or read book The Best We Could Do written by Thi Bui and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National bestseller 2017 National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) Finalist ABA Indies Introduce Winter / Spring 2017 Selection Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Spring 2017 Selection ALA 2018 Notable Books Selection An intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family’s journey from war-torn Vietnam, from debut author Thi Bui. This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves. At the heart of Bui’s story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent—the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home. In what Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls “a book to break your heart and heal it,” The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui’s journey of understanding, and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.
Download or read book What Did You Do in the Cold War Daddy written by Ann Curthoys and published by NewSouth. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War was a turbulent time to grow up in. Family ties were tested, friendships were torn apart and new beliefs forged out of the ruins of old loyalties. In this book, through twelve evocative stories of childhood and early adulthood in Australia during the Cold War years, writers from vastly different backgrounds explore how global political events affected the intimate space of home, family life and friendships. Some writers were barely in their teens when they felt the first touches of their parents’ political lives, both on the Left and the Right. Others grew up in households well attuned to activism across the spectrum, including anti-communism, workers’ rights, anti-Vietnam War, anti-apartheid and women’s rights. Sifting through the key political and social developments in Australia from the end of World War II to the early 1990s, including the referendum to ban the Communist Party of Australia, the rise of ‘the Movement’ and the Labor split, and post-war migration, this book is a powerful and poignant telling of the ways in which the political is personal.

Download or read book What Did You Do in the War Mummy written by Mavis Nicholson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1996 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A wonderful collection of women, some famous, some completely unknown from different walks of life, talk to Mavis Nicholson about how they lived, worked, loved, managed during the war years and how lives were changed (or at least the lives of women since then) by their experiences. They were factory workers, entertainers, landgirls, mothers of evacuees, socialities, code-breakers, blackmarketeers, women who served in the forces. Their extraordinary frank stories uncover for almost the first time the vivid detail of women's lives, the make-do and mend, the new freedom that war gave them, but also the euphoria and depression which followed, the post-war adjustments that had to be made. Includes conversations with actress Molly Weir, writer Mary Wesley, secret agent 'Odette', Pauline Crabbe (Council for the Unmarried Mother), illustrator Kathleen Hale (of ORLANDO THE MARMALADE CAT fame), singer Anne Shelton's last interview, and many others from all over Britain)."
Download or read book Zieglitz s Blessing written by Michael Goldberg and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zieglitz’s Blessing tells the story of a multigenerational search for identity and the meaning of a man’s life. From childhood, Rod Zieglitz questions the truthfulness of his Hebrew name, which means “God will show mercy.” Sometimes that name seems fitting. At other times, though, it strikes Zieglitz as a cruel joke. Only on his deathbed, grappling with the challenges he’s faced, does Zieglitz rightly understand the notion of God’s blessing for the first time. While Zieglitz’s Blessing is often comic and even irreverent, it’s an ultimately serious tale that runs the gamut from suffering to consolation, transgression to forgiveness, and faith lost to trust restored.
Download or read book Code Girls written by Liza Mundy and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the American women who secretly served as codebreakers during World War II--a "prodigiously researched and engrossing" (New York Times) book that "shines a light on a hidden chapter of American history" (Denver Post). Recruited by the U.S. Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than ten thousand women served as codebreakers during World War II. While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of code-breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them. A strict vow of secrecy nearly erased their efforts from history; now, through dazzling research and interviews with surviving code girls, bestselling author Liza Mundy brings to life this riveting and vital story of American courage, service, and scientific accomplishment.

Book excerpt: "Of Blood & Ink" is a journey of desperation creaking through the shadowy corridors of the human soul. Its uncompromising relentlessness, often times as beautiful as it is raw, will force you to navigate emotional terrain most people view with disdain; or at worst, simply ignore. Standing as a poetic assault on the human condition, social pressure, and the tragedy inevitably inherent with the empathetic neglect of human frailty, "Of Blood & Ink" ventures through the scarcely lit tunnel of youth as a journey to the coming of age, and arrives at the tunnel's end, bearing witness to the glorious sunrise that is human growth, as something more - a journey to the coming of life.

Download or read book Daddy What Did You Do in the War written by Janice G. Green and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American journalist Tom Brokaw gave us the term the Greatest Generation in his 1988 book of that title. It generally refers to the those who were born between 1910 and 1924. They are the men and women who lived through the Great Depression, fought in World War II and are the parents of the Baby Boomer generation. Sadly, there are so few of them left.Daddy, what did you do in the war? tells the story of Bob McBeth, a young man from Toronto, Canada, who joined the Royal Canadian Air Force with dreams of becoming a pilot and fighting the Germans in World War II. Sidelined by poor eyesight, he was instead assigned to an entertainment unit where he was Master of Ceremonies in All Clear, one of several travelling shows mounted by the RCAF. The show played to thousands of Allied troops, first in Canada and the USA, and later in England and Europe.Like many baby boomers, the authors are proud of what their parents, the greatest generation, had accomplished and were eager to hear all about their exploits in the war. Daddy, what did you do in the war? is not a story of heroism in fierce battle. Nor is it a story of death and dying, although there was plenty of that going on at the time. It is however, a funny, first-person tale of one man's experience in the war and well worth the read.
