Download or read book Breaking Vases written by Dima Ghawi and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking Vases powerfully and vividly captures the rich heritage of one woman's Middle East, along with its brutal realities, which followed Dima Ghawi from her native Jordan to her adopted country, the United States. Brought up in a small, conservative Christian community in Amman, Dima learned to be quiet and subservient to her elders and to men. When she was just five, Dima's beloved grandmother warned that a woman's greatest responsibility was to preserve her image-one as fragile as a glass vase-and the honor of her family's reputation. Anything less was shameful. Yet her grandmother also planted a seed: the simple hope that Dima could graduate from college and become the first formally educated woman in her family. At nineteen, hoping to free herself from cultural constraints and her father's turbulent temper, she accepted a traditional marriage proposal from an older, affluent, and seemingly Western-minded jeweler. Newly married and in a state of naive love, she happily uprooted her life in Amman and moved with him to California. But San Diego's "Little Middle East" was not her American dream. She soon realized that her husband was more traditional and controlling than she had imagined. Changing her circumstances would be dangerous and require courage Dima had never known before. Nevertheless, she was determined to transform her destiny, even if it meant standing alone and facing life-threatening consequences. Her memoir captures the terrors and joys of escaping confinements, crossing continents, and daring to discover and create a bold identity and life purpose.

Download or read book The Broken Vase written by Phillip H. McMath and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Award-winning novelist Phillip McMath has done something remarkable: he's written a vital roman a clef whose scope is both intimate and expansive. Here is the vivid, compelling, and true story of one woman's struggle to survive the Holocaust. Part memoir, part imagination, The Broken Vase is evidence of a masterful writer bringing together his allegiance to history and his talent for storytelling."---Andrea Hollander Budy, author of House Without a Dreamer, The Other Life, and Woman in the Painting. "This is a riveting account, told with great power and empathy, of a young girl ripped from her family and hounded across a continent by the agents of history's most monstrous project. It is also a witness to how individual courage and will can overcome a seemingly unconquerable fanaticism. Miriam Kellerman's unshakable refusal to surrender will inspire everyone whose freedom is at risk."---Judge Morris S. Arnold, author of Unequal Laws Unto a Savage Race, Colonial Arkansas, and The Rumble of a Distant Drum "Master storyteller Phillip McMath, building on research by Emily Lewis, presents in The Broken Vase a riveting, true story of brutality and survival. McMath's alchemy transforms these facts of a broken life and a broken world into an intimate account of chaos, love, despair, and one woman's hope."---Jo McDougall, author of Dirt, Satisfied with Havoc, and other poetry books Born to middle-class parents in July 1924 in Czernowitz, North Bukovina, Romania (now Chernivtsi, Ukraine), Miriam Kellerman grows up in an atmosphere of culture and privilege that is interrupted when her country is invaded---first by Stalin in July 1940, then by Hitler in June 1941. Fearing for their lives, Jews like her begin to flee into the Soviet Union to escape the German advance. Separated from her parents, Deborah and Max, and later from her fiance, Isaac, Miriam finds herself alone and on foot, trudging ever eastward. The Broken Vase is a compelling narrative of her incredible struggle to stay alive as World War II rages. A roman a clef ("novel with a key," or novel based on real life), The Broken Vase was written in close collaboration with Holocaust survivor Penina Krupitsky, who became the fictional Miriam Kellerman. This is a story of indomitable will and courage and a tribute to the resiliency of the human spirit. With the help of the World Jewish Organization, Krupitsky emigrated from the Soviet Union with her family to the United States. She now lives in Little Rock, Arkansas, with her husband, children, and grandchildren and remains active in Holocaust remembrance organizations around the world. Krupitsky says that she wants The Broken Vase "to help young people and become an inspiration to them. It will teach them how to build a world of love and not of hatred."

Download or read book Not My Story written by Pip Brennan and published by Womenenergy Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine you have found the ideal new home for yourself and your young daughter after several years of upheaval. You can't believe your luck! Not only is the new house wonderful, but your handsome (single) neighbour introduces himself to you within the first week of your arrival and there is more than a hint of romance in the air. Then - the unthinkable happens. A home invasion and rape. Just six months after moving in. Not My Story traces the tumultuous journey of the author through the foreign landscape of rape survivor. It follows the twists and turns of the police investigation, from the gruelling statement-taking marathon to the comprehensive forensic examination on the morning of the assault. The depressing and traumatising process of creating an identikit image which yielded no result. The book explores how rape trauma affects us and documents from the inside one person's recovery process. The title asserts the author's conviction that survivors do not have to be defined by the actions of others. After the perpetrator's eventual capture the justice process began and here the glaring omissions of the victim's needs were all too apparent as the legal machinery ground into action. The rape raised so many questions about crime, prisons and the possibilities of restorative justice, and eventually the author braved a mediation conference with the unknown perpetrator 6 years after the assault. From the very morning of the assault, the author was gripped by the need for "something good" to come out of the atrocity. She tried working with the media, giving evidence to an Inquiry, and spent countless hours volunteering for grassroots organisations to introduce advocacy into the service delivery mix. She learned the hard way that more than good intent is required to bring about service enhancements in an area few people want to talk about. Not My Story is a kitchen sink memoir featuring a home invasion, rape, social and restorative justice, parenting and a love affair. If you have been assaulted, this book may speak to you; it is for you. If you have never been assaulted, this book will help you to support loved ones who have gone through this profoundly wounding experience. We need to talk about this stuff.
