A prize-winning, successful novelist in her 30s, McCracken was happy to be an itinerant writer and self-proclaimed spinster. But suddenly she fell in love, got married, and two years ago was living in a remote part of France, working on her novel, and waiting for the birth of her first child. This book is about what happened next. In her ninth month of pregnancy, she learned that her baby boy had died. How do you deal with and recover from this kind of loss? Of course you don't -- but you go on. And if you have ever experienced loss or love someone who has, the company of this remarkable book will help you go on. With humor and warmth and unfailing generosity, McCracken considers the nature of love and grief. She opens her heart and leaves all of ours the richer for it.

Download or read book The Mother of All Questions written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2017-02-12 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of feminist essays steeped in “Solnit’s unapologetically observant and truth-speaking voice on toxic, violent masculinity” (The Los Angeles Review). In a timely and incisive follow-up to her national bestseller Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit offers sharp commentary on women who refuse to be silenced, misogynistic violence, the fragile masculinity of the literary canon, the gender binary, the recent history of rape jokes, and much more. In characteristic style, “Solnit draw[s] anecdotes of female indignity or male aggression from history, social media, literature, popular culture, and the news . . . The main essay in the book is about the various ways that women are silenced, and Solnit focuses upon the power of storytelling—the way that who gets to speak, and about what, shapes how a society understands itself and what it expects from its members. The Mother of All Questions poses the thesis that telling women’s stories to the world will change the way that the world treats women, and it sets out to tell as many of those stories as possible” (The New Yorker). “There’s a new feminist revolution—open to people of all genders—brewing right now and Rebecca Solnit is one of its most powerful, not to mention beguiling, voices.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Times–bestselling author of Natural Causes “Short, incisive essays that pack a powerful punch.” —Publishers Weekly “A keen and timely commentary on gender and feminism. Solnit’s voice is calm, clear, and unapologetic; each essay balances a warm wit with confident, thoughtful analysis, resulting in a collection that is as enjoyable and accessible as it is incisive.” —Booklist

Book excerpt: From the author of How Should a Person Be? (“one of the most talked-about books of the year”—Time Magazine) and the New York Times Bestseller Women in Clothes comes a daring novel about whether to have children. In Motherhood, Sheila Heti asks what is gained and what is lost when a woman becomes a mother, treating the most consequential decision of early adulthood with the candor, originality, and humor that have won Heti international acclaim and made How Should A Person Be? required reading for a generation. In her late thirties, when her friends are asking when they will become mothers, the narrator of Heti’s intimate and urgent novel considers whether she will do so at all. In a narrative spanning several years, casting among the influence of her peers, partner, and her duties to her forbearers, she struggles to make a wise and moral choice. After seeking guidance from philosophy, her body, mysticism, and chance, she discovers her answer much closer to home. Motherhood is a courageous, keenly felt, and starkly original novel that will surely spark lively conversations about womanhood, parenthood, and about how—and for whom—to live.
Download or read book My Imagination and Art Have Sustained written by M.J. O'Brien and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02-18 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was born illegitimate, with eye sight problems. I was adopted from a Catholic infant home. Because of the constant early separations that resulted from being bounced back and forth between the infant home, and my home, I developed emotional problems. My insecure, volatile, mother reacted badly to my problems. She often abused me, physically, and verbally. My father, a timid, man, who adored his wife, offered me very little support. By the time I was seven I embarked on a path that would take me from one institution to another, occasionally spending several months at home, which made me worse. The authorities didnt know what went on in the home, but they did know that a visually impaired, run away made them nervous. When I was twelve I was diagnosed as semi autistic. Because of this and my compulsion to run away, I wound up in a very controversial treatment center in Maine. Then at age seventeen my life began to improve. I was enrolled in the Perkins School for the blind in Massachusetts. I fell in love with the school, and wanted to spend a long time there. However, Perkins was seen as a finishing school for me. After two years I reluctantly graduated, and entered the world totally unprepared for what life had to offer. It wasnt until I was in my forties that I followed through on something I had always wondered about. My adoption records were opened, allowing me to learn many things about my birth mother, and family. Together with the few details my adopted father gave me, I was able to make contact with my family.

Download or read book Reset Your Child s Brain written by Victoria L. Dunckley, MD and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders but don’t respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS). Dr. Dunckley has found that everyday use of interactive screen devices — such as computers, video games, smartphones, and tablets — can easily overstimulate a child’s nervous system, triggering a variety of stubborn symptoms. In contrast, she’s discovered that a strict, extended electronic fast single-handedly improves mood, focus, sleep, and behavior, regardless of the child’s diagnosis. It also reduces the need for medication and renders other treatments more effective. Offered now in this book, this simple intervention can produce a life-changing shift in brain function and help your child get back on track — all without cost or medication. While no one in today’s connected world can completely shun electronic stimuli, Dr. Dunckley provides hope for parents who feel that their child has been misdiagnosed or inappropriately medicated, by presenting an alternative explanation for their child’s difficulties and a concrete plan for treating them.

Download or read book Reeds in the Wind written by Nikita Kusnezov and published by Evelyne Kusnezov. This book was released on 2011 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reeds in the Wind" takes you along on the vertiginous journey of a mother with her two children whose lives were suddenly turned upside down by two forces of evil, threatening to exterminate millions of people with no relation and understanding of the dark minds behind this tragedy. From a somewhat uneventful life under the Soviet regime, the breadbasket of Ukraine became the overlapping target of both Stalin and Hitler and that is where and when it all begins to unravel. The City of Kharkov is where the author was born. Nikita Kusnezov describes his youth growing up under communism and how alarming events started to replace the daily routine, virtually exposing the reader to his hands-on experience as the situation keeps deteriorating. To follow the sometimes miraculous escapes throughout Eastern Europe, during twelve years of being constantly uprooted, makes for a gut wrenching reading. This odyssey of human endurance and survival takes place among the turmoil of World War II as the unfolding background is kept in sight by the author and referred to methodically. This autobiography is only one more testimony of the millions of victims who fell silent and to whom Timothy Snyder refers in his "Bloodlands".

My brother Tim and I had been home with my dad all week while mother has been working at the hospital taking care of patients. She's a LPN. After breakfast my dad came out back and told us we were going to the "icebox" to go fish with Rob today and we needed to get inside and get ready. Oh how I can remember my brother being so happy. Me...I felt panic. As I knew this was going to be a day of drinking and torture as it always was when my dad and his friend are together. We had gotten to the sink hole of a fishing place, it was back behind a lot of trees. I can still remember the smell to this day and how dirty it was. I often wondered why we ate the fish from that place. The water was always filled with trash. Yes, refrigerators too. Yet everyone in Hornell fished there. My dad set up the fishing rods on the bank and told me to sit on the ground that I wasn't good enough to sit in a chair, they are used only for men. As I watched my father, Rob and my brother all sit down in one. I sat in a pile of muddy grass patch that had trash in it. Crying, my dad slapped me across the face and asked me, "Do you want another?" As he raised his hand over his head. I curled up my legs and hugged them close to my chest in hopes I would not get hit again. Instead he pulls out his Polaroid from the back seat of his truck and takes a picture. As he yells, "Come on you little pussy."
