Twenty-one-year-old Beth has done plenty of good, grown-up sorts of things—including having a baby. But she’s also done something bad enough to land her in prison. At the urging of her counselor, she begins to make a list of all the good things that have happened to her. It’s difficult at first, as she was abandoned by her mother and shuffled from one foster home to another. Hers is a life that veered from a brilliantly artistic childhood to rough boyfriends and thankless jobs. As she writes, however, she begins to understand that every life has moments of peace, friendship, and triumph. From sharing silence with someone she loves, to feeling so happy it hurts, she begins to see her life—and herself—anew. But Beth must also acknowledge the act that sent her to jail, and confront the question: Is there a chance for her redemption?

Download or read book The Dangers of Gifts from Antiquity to the Digital Age written by Alexandra Urakova and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume that examines dangerous gift-giving across centuries and disciplines. Bringing to the fore the subject that features as an aside in gift studies, it offers new insights into the ambivalent and troubled history of gift-giving. Dangerous, violent, and self-destructive gift-giving remains an alluring challenge for scholars almost a hundred years after Marcel Mauss’s landmark work on the gift. Globally, the notion of toxic and fateful gifts has haunted mythologies, folklores, and literatures for millennia. This book problematizes what stands behind the notion of the 'dangerous gift' and demonstrates how this operational term may help us to better understand the role and place of gift-giving from antiquity to the present through a series of case studies ranging from ancient Zoroastrianism to modern digital dating. The book develops a complex historical, cross-cultural, and multi-disciplinary approach to gift-giving that invites comparisons between various facets of this phenomenon through time and across societies. The book will interest a wide range of scholars working in anthropology, history, literary criticism, religious studies, and contemporary digital culture. It will primarily appeal to university educators and researchers of political culture, pre-modern religion, social relations, and the relationship between commerce and gifts.

Praise for Breathing on Her Own
“Lean, not florid, genuine, not sappy, reflective, not preachy, familiar, not clichéd, satisfying, not contrived: what more could one ask of a contemporary novel from a first-time novelist? Readers of Breathing on Her Own will enjoy a story that feels close to home, in the tradition of writers like Anne Tyler. We know the people in this story. They are friends, neighbors, family, even ourselves. I expect that when readers finish this book, they will ask Dr. Waters when they can read her next one. That’s certainly my question.”
—Jon Weatherly
Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost Johnson University
“Entertaining, challenging, and realistic. Breathing on Her Own brings us face-to-face with what we really believe through the eyes of one woman’s journey with hope and resilient faith as the backbone of the story.”
—Drew Waters
Actor, Director, Producer; Star of The Ultimate Life and The Redemption of Henry Meyers as well as recurring roles on Saturday Night Lights and NCIS
“I was hooked from the beginning! Waters takes us on a journey of faith and doubt which had me asking questions like, ‘How would I react?’ and ‘Would I trust God during these tough times?’ Let this real-life drama pull you in and pull you closer to God!”
—Andy Lynch
WTLW TV host of ‘Faith and Friends’ and Sports Director of WOSN
“Rebecca Waters nailed it in this well-written novel about family and life changing tragedy. She takes her protagonist, Molly, through the pain that comes when life kicks you in the gut, in both a realistic and insightful way. Giving Molly permission to question her God and her faith gives the reader permission to do the same. This can bring a great deal of comfort to people who are struggling through the challenges that inevitably come into every life. In Breathing on Her Own, as in real life, God holds up to the questioning and that is the message that Ms. Waters handles so well.”
—Robin Prince Monroe
Author of Devotions for the Brokenhearted and the Comforting Little Hearts series
“A must read. Edge of your seat drama, Breathing on Her Own is as brilliant as it is captivating. Rebecca Waters has the ability to paint an accurate picture of her delightful characters in this poignant yet heart warming story that deals with real life issues.”
