Book excerpt: Hidden in an attic, tucked under the eaves, is a dusty box containing a treasure more precious than gold… Every year, Sarah Campbell throws an annual spring cleaning party. These days, she recruits some of her grandkids to get the job done. She knows to expect joking, teasing, friendly shenanigans, and not a little laughter from her family. This year’s crew doesn’t disappoint - with Colin, Easton, and Sadie helping, there’s never a dull moment. But in the middle of cleaning, Colin stumbles across an old chest in the attic, a chest that contains a box of letters thought to have been lost decades earlier. The housework screeches to a halt as she and her husband, Owen, surrounded by family, explore the memories contained within the wooden box. Spanning more than a decade, the correspondence tells the story of the early years of their marriage, commemorating the events that pepper a relationship through time - births, deaths, losses, joys, arguments, frustrations… and, most of all, love. Letters from Owen is a bonus, standalone novella. While it can be read at any point, to avoid spoilers, it’s probably best to read it after Burning Springs.

Download or read book Selected Letters of Wilfred Owen written by Jane Potter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-10 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen's letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet's life in his own words. Wilfred Owen's fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature. Owen's letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century. Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen's Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen's character and poetic development.

Unbeknownst to Joseph, his mother, Harriet, has been hiding from her owner in the attic of the house that Joseph lives in. But when Harriet's hiding place is in danger of being revealed, she is forced to flee north to safety only moments after being reunited with her family. Devastated by losing his mother for the second time, Joseph begins to ponder the nature of the world he lives in. Soon Joseph, seeking freedom and a place where he can be himself, follows his mother north. As he searches for answers, Joseph experiences life in Massachusetts, California, Australia, and aboard a whaling ship—but there’s no place where Joseph feels that he can truly be free.

This comprehensive study reveals his letters to be fundamental to understanding his development as a writer. Early on, he employed Hugh Blair's popular idea of developing "taste" in written documents, and carefully studied the letters of his contemporaries. He wrote more than 5000 of his own. As he became more proficient, he employed more sophisticated rhetorical strategies to deal with political opponents, imperious generals and critics of his policies.

Download or read book I Remain Yours written by Christopher Hager and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When North and South went to war, millions of American families endured their first long separation. For men in the armies—and their wives, children, parents, and siblings at home—letter writing was the sole means to communicate. Yet for many of these Union and Confederate families, taking pen to paper was a new and daunting task. I Remain Yours narrates the Civil War from the perspective of ordinary people who had to figure out how to salve the emotional strain of war and sustain their closest relationships using only the written word. Christopher Hager presents an intimate history of the Civil War through the interlaced stories of common soldiers and their families. The previously overlooked words of a carpenter from Indiana, an illiterate teenager from Connecticut, a grieving mother in the mountains of North Carolina, and a blacksmith’s daughter on the Iowa prairie reveal through their awkward script and expression the personal toll of war. Is my son alive or dead? Returning soon or never? Can I find words for the horrors I’ve seen or the loneliness I feel? Fear, loss, and upheaval stalked the lives of Americans straining to connect the battlefront to those they left behind. Hager shows how relatively uneducated men and women made this new means of communication their own, turning writing into an essential medium for sustaining relationships and a sense of belonging. Letter writing changed them and they in turn transformed the culture of letters into a popular, democratic mode of communication.

Download or read book Babies Are the Worst written by Meagan Scheuerman and published by Oq Books. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a baby is supposed to be one of the most magical things that can happen to a person. Or so they say... Meagan Gordon Scheuerman was nearly a year into motherhood before she realized she had postpartum depression. Instead of thinking she was sick, she thought her vision of motherhood was a sham and a lie. She wasn't entirely wrong. She was also in more trouble than she knew. Babies Are The Worst explores the unexpected challenges that parenthood presents, with humor, hope, and a little help from her friends. The book is divided into three sections. The first, "My PPD Journey," chronicles Meagan's journey into motherhood, including the depression that snuck up on her and knocked her sideways. Having never experienced mental illness until PPD, she didn't recognize the symptoms and hid her new reality from everyone around her until she sought help. Part Two, "On Miscarriage & Fertility," discusses being well enough to try for another child, along with the struggles that followed. Part Three, "Not Alone," includes interviews and first-person accounts from other mothers who each experienced postpartum issues for differing reasons, none of which include clinical depression. This memoir is not just for women with PPD. This book is for every person who is left wondering, "Am I crazy for thinking this is sometimes the worst?" You're not the only one thinking it. Let's dive in. "Self-help meets Chick-lit - Scheuerman's story shines in her remarkably raw and real depiction of postpartum depression." - Abigail Levrini, PhD, author of "Succeeding with Adult ADHD" (APA, 2012) and "ADHD Coaching: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals" (APA, 2015)
