Download or read book The Other Side of Camille written by Weaver Jackson Brown and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Other Side of Camille is based on actual events in the life of a young single mom trying to escape the grips of a family legacy deep-rooted in dark religious beliefs, witchcraft, and satanism. Camille is characterized in the fight for her soul and that of her child against the forces of good and evil. In an escape to be free from the family legacy, she relocates the immediate family to a city and the church of Jesus Christ. Believing she is free, Camille takes on the dangerous task of attempting exorcisms that she was not equipped or qualified to explore, especially when you have not gone through complete healing and deliverance yourself, not fully addressing own possible trauma and mental illness; living in denial. The writer of the story witnessed at the time a series of strange, unexplained occurrences with not only Camille but a terrified child who appear to be under some type of spell with very little power to function independently. The writer is led to believe the story is a classic case found in Matthew 12:43–45, “When an unclean spirit leaves a person, it wanders through arid regions seeking rest without finding it. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came. And when it comes it finds the house swept clean and tidy. Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.’”

Download or read book The Old Home Place written by Alvin H. 'Al' Terrell and published by BLACK OAK MEDIA INC. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "America, home of the brave and the free" This is a well-deserved description of America, but it hardly describes the complexity of our great nation. Describing America would be like describing a large, moving picture that is constantly changing. Each of its many components is different than all the others. To understand America one would have to understand every individual, in every culture, in every community. To leave out any piece of the big picture would distort America's image and deny the opportunity to know America itself. This book gives the reader a piece of the big picture that represents a bygone era. As a nation, we have made a lot of progress over the years and we can be proud of our accomplishments, but we should remember, our roots are the foundation of our success. Go back in time with the author to relive the old stories just as they happened in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s in rural Arkansas. Experience the humor, nostalgia, and the tragedy of a bygone era. Each reader will experience something different, but will come away enlightened having enjoyed these glimpses of a simpler time.

Book excerpt: The script is a story of overcoming obstacles of gigantic proportions to create a person of courage and convictions. I grew because of three distinct personal impediments to a normal child growing up. I was born an identical mirror twin. I became bipolar and gay as my life unfolded. In spite of these handicaps, I was able to be teacher for forty years and a psychotherapist for twenty-five years. It is a story of overcoming obstacles and becoming a productive member of society. The tragedy of my script was a theme of unrequited love I have never found a person who could accept me as I am. I am still looking and hope to finish my script with a positive outcome. Thank you for getting to know me and greatness I want to be my legacy before I die.

Download or read book Embalming Mom written by Janet Burroway and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Alternately clever, humorous, lively, sad, and charming, her book is recommended for both public and academic libraries with large women's collections."--Library Journal"Burroway, author of Cutting Stone and six other novels, is a pithy essayist with an inner compass that steers her to the ambiguity at the heart of the human condition."--Booklist"Sightline Books is an exciting and welcome promise of all the excellent nonfiction writing just waiting to come into view."--Vivian Gornick, author of The Situation and the Story: The Art of Personal Narrative"These gathered-together autobiographical essays reveal a fascinating, honest, witty writer I thought I had known (briefly) thirty years ago. I am delighted to discover, in this charming memoir, that I was woefully ignorant of her extraordinary life. Now I feel privileged to learn of it in such an elegantly written fashion."--Doris Grumbach"The most lively, witty, uncensored celebration of the life of a writer, woman, lover, wife, mother, stepmother against the history of her time--and what a time it was and is! No 'futile cry of ME!' but bold and brilliant portraits of where we have been and where we are headed. Brava Burroway!o--Julia MarkusPast Praise for Janet Burroway"She writes like a robust Angel."--London Guardian on Raw Silk"A fine and complex novel, a comedy and then some."--New Yorker on Opening Nights" . . . a novel of rare and lustrous quality."--Newsweek on Raw Silk"What sets Raw Silk apart is Janet Burroway's superb stylistic gifts."--New York Times Book Review"Miss Burroway's gifts are those of a fine, intuitive actress . . . one of those rare, accomplished stylists whose art lies in the air of effortlessness, or near invisibility."--New Statesman on The Buzzards"For people like me, these essays on life are instructive. Their titles reveal their central themes, but Burroway feels confident and free to range wide from the main trunk, looping out into her life and her metaphors, then back again, probing through and confessing all because, for the real writer who has come so far, it seems now there is no point in not."--Fourth GenreJanet Burroway followed in the footsteps of Sylvia Plath. Like Plath, she was an early Mademoiselle guest editor in New York, an Ivy League and Cambridge student, an aspiring poet-playwright-novelist in the period before feminism existed, a woman who struggled with her generation's conflicting demands of work and love. Unlike Plath, Janet Burroway survived.In sixteen essays of wit, rage, and reconciliation, Embalming Mom chronicles loss and renaissance in a life that reaches from Florida to Arizona across to England and home again. Burroway brilliantly weaves her way through the dangers of daily life--divorcing her first husband, raising two boys, establishing a new life, scattering her mother's ashes and sorting the meager possessions of her father. Each new danger and challenge highlight the tenacious will of the body and spirit to heal."Ordinary life is more dangerous than war because nobody survives," Burroway contemplates in the essay "Danger and Domesticity," yet each of her meditations reminds us that it's our daily rituals and trials that truly keep us alive.Janet Burroway is the author of plays, poetry, children's books, and seven novels, including The Buzzards, Raw Silk, Opening Nights, and Cutting Stone. Her textbook Writing Fiction, now in its fifth edition, is used in more than three hundred colleges and universities in the United States; a further text, Imaginative Writing, is due out in 2002. She is Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor at Florida State University in Tallahassee."
