Download or read book Regifted written by Candi Byrne and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A raw, often wry, memoir of mothers, mysteries, and miracles. Surrendered at birth in a closed adoption, Candi Byrne’s biology and ethnicity is a secret. The impending arrival of her first grandchild ignites an urgency to identify potential genetic time bombs and confirm her ancestry. Due to arcane privacy laws, Candi is repeatedly denied access to the one person who could provide that information—her biological mother. After years of failed attempts, she resigns herself to never learning the truth about her roots; that is, until her ninety-year-old Aunt Delores has a vision and insists Candi resume efforts to find her birth family. Candi is gobsmacked when an internet search she’s performed thousands of times before suddenly reveals her birth mother’s identity. Within hours, she ends up on the doorstep of her birth mother—a place she’s sworn never to visit. After a series of guilt-driven interactions with “Those People,” as she refers to her maternal birth family, Candi terminates contact. Although the reunion proves disastrous, it opens her eyes to truths about her relationship with her adoptive mother, Delphine. Though their relationship was difficult and contentious during Delphine’s life, a series of miraculous experiences after her death guides Candi home to herself—where, she learns, she has belonged all along.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which force was more likely to have penetrated your essence and shaped your destiny if you were born in February of 1964: the orbital shufflings of Mars and Jupiter, or the explosive rise of the stars called the Beatles? By linking your personality and potential to the star who ruled the pop universe at the moment of your birth, Popstrology offers an entirely new approach to illuminating your spirit and your soul. Could the roots of your chronic restlessness lie in the fact that you are a Commodore born in the Year of Debby Boone? Could your crippling sexual inhibition result from being a Pat Boone born in the Year of Elvis Presley? Yes, they could. Could Britney Spears have been born under the influence of anything other than Olivia Newton-John's "Physical"? No, she couldn't. Fresh, funny and remarkably persuasive, this groundbreaking book reveals the powers hidden in a galaxy of stars we all can name, and in so doing gives us the right sign for modern times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the best books I’ve read in ages! All the little things we women face on a day-to-day basis, the author describes in side-splitting detail. I couldn’t stop laughing!” Christy Phillippe ~ Dog Ear Publishing Editor Since when did ordering at Starbucks require an advanced educational degree? What are the proper rules for regifting these days, and how can I avoid regifting the candle my friend gave me last Christmas back to her? Why does Siri seem to have an attitude if I ask her the same question more than once? These are the musings of real-life, middle-aged-and-proud-of-it Madalyn Kinsey, who allows us to laugh along with her as she candidly reveals the weaknesses she has that we all know only too well. She belongs to a gym she’s never visited, and she shudders at the thought of running into friends at the grocery who’ll see the cookies, chips, and soda in her shopping cart. This candid and funny book is a breath of fresh air for women (and men) who want to enjoy the humor of a smart and bewildered woman as she not only examines her own foibles, but also the absurdities of the world around her. She may not have all the answers, but she makes examining the issues a whole lot of fun!
