Download or read book The Best We Could Do written by Thi Bui and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National bestseller 2017 National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) Finalist ABA Indies Introduce Winter / Spring 2017 Selection Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Spring 2017 Selection ALA 2018 Notable Books Selection An intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family’s journey from war-torn Vietnam, from debut author Thi Bui. This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves. At the heart of Bui’s story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent—the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home. In what Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls “a book to break your heart and heal it,” The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui’s journey of understanding, and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.

Download or read book Alzheimer S What They Forget to Tell You written by Caron Leid and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although more and more people are being affected by Alzheimer’s disease, there is not enough information surrounding the true daily struggle of the disease. Although parts of this story were extremely difficult to write, and worse to ensure that the moments were captured exactly as they were it really is a personal journey. This is a story to inspire people not to take any moment for granted. This disease does not only rob a person of their memory, it takes their dignity and independence with it. It is a story of testing someone’s resolve, and realizing that life is truly what you make of it. This story is dedicated to my mother, I love her and I know there are still pieces of her still with me, and that is what I hold on to. I wish I had the information in this book, when my mother was fi rst diagnosed with this horrible disease, but a long with my story, I have put in a lot of resources that are available to others. It also shows that even though you don’t think that you have strength, you fi nd a way and you don’t give up. I hope my story inspires you, and at least you can use something in this book, whether the disease affects someone you know, or for preventative care.

This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raw. Honest. Transparent. Hopeful. All of these are words readers might use when describing the stories found in Seeds of Perspective: Planting Hope and Healing From the Baggage of Life. However, they are not terms we might expect to hear paired with stories of addiction, pornography, abortion, infertility, and death. As one of the contributing writers states, “Processing is not easy, but it’s important to feel the pain and work through it to heal. Shoving it down gets you nowhere.” In Seeds of Perspective, Beth Grisham has compiled chapters contributed by anonymous women of all ages and walks of life who willingly poured out their most difficult life situations as a personal sacrifice to help others process and find hope and healing in their own worst mistakes. They believe that remembering and sharing their stories awakens in each of us a deeper understanding of God’s promise to redeem our lives for His glory and His purposes, and to bring beauty from the ashes of our past. So come. Journey with us as we sow seeds of perspective that can help you find purpose in the baggage of your own past. If we can do it, we know you can, too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Reader, First of all, though it may be unbelievable as you begin to read this story, every single word about the bigotry and racism which plagued a small church and school in Oak Lawn, Illinois, is the absolute truth. Though some of the names and events have been altered to protect the innocent, every event occurred between 1950 and 2000, just as I have recorded them. Next, I want you to know this true story is not about the game of football, but rather it is the story of the character and moral strength of the men with whom I had the privilege to play the game of football. It is also the true account of some ordinary men and women who became extraordinary by choosing to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Most of all, I want you to know the real solution to ending the bigotry, hatred, and hypocrisy, which have been ripping our nation and world apart. Please read this book with an open mind and heart. The solution will probably not surprise you, but I hope it will inspire and challenge you to become part of the solution, which will change this old world for God's glory! In Christ, Jerry Silver 2 Corinthians 5:21
