Download or read book A Daughter s Journey written by Heather Jaynes and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a father and daughter driving a jeep, packed to the top with household items, and towing a large storage box, laden with heavy household and garage machines, from London to Bulgaria by crossing three countries. The daughter did the driving. It was tough, on a time limit, and by no means trouble-free. Just when I thought my hard work was over, and I was about to go home, my nightmare was about to start. Heather is an experienced distance driver, often travelling from Ireland to Wales or, driving for many miles in Spain, but not anything quite as distant as what she was about to take on. Heather considered herself fairly fit because she was a dressage rider and trained at least four times a week on her lovely horse, Ebony Lady. Heather had not seen her dad in two years, although they spoke on the phone nearly every day, so this journey was a holiday to her as well as an adventure driving through Europe with her dad.

Book excerpt: In this inspirational and unflinchingly honest memoir, acclaimed author Reyna Grande describes her childhood torn between the United States and Mexico, and shines a light on the experiences, fears, and hopes of those who choose to make the harrowing journey across the border. Reyna Grande vividly brings to life her tumultuous early years in this “compelling...unvarnished, resonant” (BookPage) story of a childhood spent torn between two parents and two countries. As her parents make the dangerous trek across the Mexican border to “El Otro Lado” (The Other Side) in pursuit of the American dream, Reyna and her siblings are forced into the already overburdened household of their stern grandmother. When their mother at last returns, Reyna prepares for her own journey to “El Otro Lado” to live with the man who has haunted her imagination for years, her long-absent father. Funny, heartbreaking, and lyrical, The Distance Between Us poignantly captures the confusion and contradictions of childhood, reminding us that the joys and sorrows we experience are imprinted on the heart forever, calling out to us of those places we first called home. Also available in Spanish as La distancia entre nosotros.

Download or read book Trusting Ourselves written by Karen Johnson and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Definitive and comprehensive, Trusting Ourselves is the only book to cover every aspect of psychology as it applies to women. This groundbreaking work will empower its readers to understand and make decisions about their psychological well-being and treatment in much the same way Our Bodies, Ourselves redefined women's health care. In a radical reversal of the usual approach to psychological care, which assumes that only the professional understands the problem. Johnson strongly believes that women and their values, perspectives, and biases have merit, and that most patients understand why they're not happy with their lives. Trusting this self-knowledge and taking action on one's own behalf provide a foundation for all the information in this book. It is time to revise psychotherapy to incorporate a woman's perspective.

Download or read book The Female American or The Adventures of Unca Eliza Winkfield written by Unca Eliza Winkfield and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2000-10-20 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it first appeared in 1767, The Female American was called a "sort of second Robinson Crusoe; full of wonders." Indeed, The Female American is an adventure novel about an English protagonist shipwrecked on a deserted isle, where survival requires both individual ingenuity and careful negotiations with visiting local Indians. But what most distinguishes Winkfield's novel is her protagonist, a woman who is of mixed race. Though the era's popular novels typically featured women in the confining contexts of the home and the bourgeois marriage market, Winkfield's novel portrays an autonomous and mobile heroine living alone in the wilds of the New World, independently interacting with both Native Americans and visiting Europeans. Moreover, The Female American is one of the earliest novelistic efforts to articulate an American identity, and more specifically to investigate what that identity might promise for women. Along with discussion of authorship issues, the Broadview edition contains excerpts from English and American source texts. This is the only edition available.

Full of emotions and poetry but told without sentimentality, Selim Özdoğan's account of Gül's journey is a tender and moving novel about home, cultural identity and a life between two worlds.
