Book excerpt: Saroo Brierley’s journey home to a small village in India with the help of Google Earth became an internationally bestselling book and inspired the major motion picture LION. But the story of how his adoptive mother, Sue, came into his life half a world away in Tasmania is every bit as riveting. In this uplifting and deeply personal book Sue reveals for the first time her own traumatic childhood. The daughter of a violent alcoholic whose business gambles left her family destitute, she grew up in geographic and emotional isolation. When Sue married and broke free of her father she was determined to also sever the cycle of despair, and made the selfless decision not to have a biological child. Instead, inspired by a vision she’d had as a young girl, she chose to adopt two children in need – Saroo and Mantosh. Little did she imagine that twenty-five years later she would be portrayed on screen by another Australian mother who chose to adopt – Nicole Kidman. Moving and inspiring, Lioness explores the myth of motherhood, how families are formed in many ways, and how love and perseverance can bring us together.

Book excerpt: The Author of this book found herself a mum in her very early teens. She was young, immature, naïve and basically clueless as to the consequences of having teenage sex. Clueless as to motherhood. And clueless as to life in general. In this book she narrates her journey and experiences from the moment that she literally stumbled onto the discovery that she was pregnant at 13 years of age. She is so real and authentic in her narration of this season of her life and you can feel her passion and heart to help other teen moms coming off through the pages. Chiyedza has turned what could easily have been a disastrous life with no hope nor future for her and her children into a positive that shines a light for others to follow. She is unashamed in speaking of her struggles in order that others may learn from it. She is genuine and real, which is exactly what is needed in tackling such a real and now issue. Young girls are becoming sexually active at much younger ages and they need to be aware of the lifetime consequences to their health, family and social lives. As a qualified nurse, counsellor and now author, Chiyedza is strategically positioned to teach, mentor and help young people to be aware of these real life issues. She gives a huge dollop dose of Reality. Chiyedza is a strong and determined woman who has experienced life's highs and lows and overcome most challenges thrown at her. What should have killed her has made her stronger. She is a devout Christian whose faith has kept her standing through the storms and fiery darts. (Foreword by Vonayi Nyamazana)

Download or read book Bad Blood written by Lorna Sage and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whitbread Award Winner: A memoirist “conjures up her claustrophobic childhood in the small Welsh village of Hanmer with wit and unsentimental clarity” (The New York Times). The bad blood had missed a generation. You’re just like your grandfather, my mother said. Blood trickles down through every generation, seeps into every marriage. An international bestseller and winner of the Whitbread Biography Award, Bad Blood is a tragicomic memoir of one woman’s escape from a claustrophobic childhood in post–World War II Britain and the story of three generations of a family—its triumphs and its darkest secrets. With wit and a dose of self-deprecating humor, Lorna Sage’s prose brings to life a period—the 1940s and 1950s—that continues to influence and shape society in the twenty-first century. As a portrait of a family and a young girl’s place in it, Bad Blood is unsurpassed. “Her father was off fighting in World War II, her mother off in her own dreamy rerun of adolescence, so young Lorna hung onto the ‘skirts’ of her vicar grandpa, a histrionic, bitterly intelligent philanderer . . . Sage finds such delicious ironies in all the awful detail that readers can’t help but be entertained., wickedly . . . perfect book club reading.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “She lifts your spirits even as she hurts your heart.” —Daily Telegraph “Deeply affecting and beautifully written.” —People “Evocative, enthralling, often hilarious.” —Los Angeles Times “A superb memoir of a daughter of the ’50s who got knocked up, but not knocked down.” —Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air
