Download or read book Girls of Tender Age written by Mary-Ann Tirone Smith and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-02-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Girls of Tender Age, Mary-Ann Tirone Smith fully articulates with great humor and tenderness the wild jubilance of an extended French-Italian family struggling to survive in a post-World War II housing project in Hartford, Connecticut. Smith seamlessly combines a memoir whose intimacy matches that of Angela's Ashes with the tale of a community plagued by a malevolent predator that holds the emotional and cultural resonance of The Lovely Bones. Smith's Hartford neighborhood is small-town America, where everyone’s door is unlocked and the school, church, library, drugstore, 5 & 10, grocery, and tavern are all within walking distance. Her family is peopled with memorable characters—her possibly psychic mother who's always on the verge of a nervous breakdown, her adoring father who makes sure she has something to eat in the morning beyond her usual gulp of Hershey’s syrup, her grandfather who teaches her to bash in the heads of the eels they catch on Long Island Sound, Uncle Guido who makes the annual bagna cauda, and the numerous aunts and cousins who parade through her life with love and food and endless stories of the old days. And then there’s her brother, Tyler. Smith's household was “different.” Little Mary-Ann couldn't have friends over because her older brother, Tyler, an autistic before anyone knew what that meant, was unable to bear noise of any kind. To him, the sound of crying, laughing, phones ringing, or toilets flushing was “a cloud of barbed needles” flying into his face. Subject to such an assault, he would substitute that pain with another: he'd try to chew his arm off. Tyler was Mary-Ann's real-life Boo Radley, albeit one whose bookshelves sagged under the weight of the World War II books he collected and read obsessively. Hanging over this rough-and-tumble American childhood is the sinister shadow of an approaching serial killer. The menacing Bob Malm lurks throughout this joyous and chaotic family portrait, and the havoc he unleashes when the paths of innocence and evil cross one early December evening in 1953 forever alters the landscape of Smith's childhood. Girls of Tender Age is one of those books that will forever change its readers because of its beauty and power and remarkable wit.
Download or read book The Tender Years written by Queenie Tarquin Saunders aka Simon Richard Lee and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?The Tender Years? is my autobiography, a true and honest account of my life from birth to the present day. It takes in what for many, are taboo subjects: - childhood sexual abuse, self-harm in various measures, and psychiatric care today ? as we leave the 20th Century. My own psychiatric care takes in the hub of ?the System?, the receiving end of in-patient and out-patient or ?client? services ? which is still much in need of improvement. I try to describe the many mistakes that may be made in this ?hit and miss? side of medicine. The book embraces a host of emotional feelings, captured in a format that adults should find inspirational to read. One of the key reasons for writing the book is that it hints of the physical as well as the emotional scars. Hopefully my later years will successively become less ?tender? from these. In offering a light at the end of the tunnel, if QT Saunders got through a tough life and is still standing ? anyone can ? and against all the odds.

Book excerpt: The Tender Years is the story of Carl and Ardensa who, in the final days of their lives, find themselves alone, facing illness and the certainty of an approaching death. The magnitude of their ordeal, though as cruel as it may seem, is overshadowed by the strength and trueness of their love for each other—a love that refuses to yield to the painful demands of old age and the somber reality of impending death. It is at this time in their lives that the strength of their love is magnified by the tender affection that they have for each other, a tenderness imbedded in the depths of their hearts as they come to the end of their lives, but not to the end of their love. It is the kind of true love that leaps into the eternal realm, sure of itself, refusing to die even within the bosom of death itself.
Download or read book Tender Years written by David D. Yun and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tender Years is the touching story of a boy named Eumu, who was born to a Korean family in Osaka, Japan, during World War II. When his mother dies of TB when he is less than three years old, his grandmother abducts him, taking him to a remote Korean village. His grandmother's unconditional love helps Eumu live without a mother or father, but ten years later, he is returned to his father in Tokyo. Eumu feels as though he is waking up from a dream never ending, and entering into another dream. The little boy Eumu is in fact a mystery, even to the author. The mystery has to do with the existential dilemma the boy is faced with growing up in a place where he might have believed that the rest of the world was nonexistent. As if in the dream of an existence without shame, everything Eumu did for himself or for others was known to everyone but himself, yet the boy is very confused. His eventual conversations with his father point to the repression Eumu has hidden, as well as his desire to free himself from the repressed life he has led. Tender Years offers philosophical insight into the post-war years in Asia, where the collective and the individual engage a perennial struggle for survival. About the Author: Dr. David D. Yun grew up in South Korea until he was 13 years old. He taught physics at universities in the U.S., and now lives in Bangkok, Thailand. He is writing his next book.

Book excerpt: Funny, poignant, and deeply moving, The Line Tender is a story of nature's enduring mystery and a girl determined to find meaning and connection within it. Wherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart's marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, collecting shark data when she died suddenly. Lucy was seven. Since then Lucy and her father have kept their heads above water--thanks in large part to a few close friends and neighbors. But June of her twelfth summer brings more than the end of school and a heat wave to sleepy Rockport. On one steamy day, the tide brings a great white--and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was "meaningful" but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother's unfinished research on the Great White's return to Cape Cod. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she'll finally be able to look beyond what she's lost and toward what's left to be discovered. ★"Confidently voiced."—Kirkus Reviews, starred ★"Richly layered."—Publishers Weekly, starred ★"A hopeful path forward."—Booklist, starred ★"Life-affirming."—BCCB, starred ★"Big-hearted." —Bookpage, starred ★“Will appeal to just about everyone.” – SLC, starred ★"Exquisitely, beautifully real."—Shelf Awareness, starred

And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.
