Download or read book The Whore Mother written by Shaun Herron and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John McManus joined the Provisional wing of the IRA, to assuage his conscience. Now he wants nothing more that to escape the world of mindless violence and brutality in which he finds himself enmeshed. Pursued by IRA gunmen, he flees the length of Ireland—by automobile, by bus, on foot—desperately struggling to outrun the consequences of his past. Two women conspire to help him flee his pursuers: Kate Burker who passion for Joh and her for her country rages even in the shadow of gunmen; and Brendine Healy, an American girl who should never have left Boston. He cuts a wide swath across Ireland, encountering romantics and killers, and the courageous and decent people of both the North and the South. If one of the tests of a good novel is that its characters stick with the reader for weeks on end, and if another is that it informs him and makes him think, then The Whore-Mother is by both measures a superior novel. In it the agony of Ireland becomes a metaphor for the nature of violence itself.
Download or read book Bluebells written by Sophia Devasahayam and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bluebells by Sophia Devasahayam is a collection of autobiographical recollections of encounters and events that left their imprint on her life and personality, and the lessons learned. The author is the daughter of Christian evangelists who worked in South India. They chose to live and work among social outcasts, commercial sex workers, and antisocial elements to make them embrace a life of spirituality. Her parents believed in voluntary austerity, hard physical work, and long hours of prayer. Sophia's childhood was an offbeat one, where self-denial and discipline was a way of life, and was marked by an absence of material comforts that most children enjoy. Sophia's essays are not recollections of rapturous moments in tranquility as William Wordsworth would have written, but are narrations of painful or traumatic occurrences when she was mentally exhausted due to long hours of study for her doctoral dissertation. Recollections of significant events from her childhood have helped her arrive at a deeper understanding of herself. Bluebells is a series of essays combining the lyricism of a poet with the analytical quality of a researcher. They move beyond the personal to offer a message of positive living through fostering values. Her essays and beautiful poetry go beyond narration to examine what moulded her character. Biblical allusions and literary references help reinforce her observations about the universal aspects of human nature.

Download or read book Son of a Whore written by Herman Lategan and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the runaway success of his Afrikaans memoir, Hoerkind, the contrarian journalist and writer Herman Lategan translated and updated his eventful life story, with no holds barred. Herman was conceived illegitimately one warm February night in 1964 in a boarding house in Cape Town. From an early age, he felt disposable, passed from one pair of unstable adult hands to the next, even ending up in an orphanage for a while. At thirteen he was caught in the web of a cunning paedophile, a well-known Afrikaans newspaperman. Shortly after his eighteenth birthday, when his abuser finished with him, Herman was unceremoniously dumped at the door of his alcoholic father. Conscription into the army and a dishonourable discharge followed. During his teenage years, Herman befriended Afrikaans poets like Sheila Cussons, Ina Rousseau, Barend J. Toerien and Casper Schmidt, and later, in New York, he followed Andy Warhol in the street and partied with a ‘smorgasbord of social butterflies’. Back in South Africa, Herman established himself as a journalist, but struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, and was homeless for a while. For many an employer, he became the nightmare they feared most. Son of a Whore is a gripping account of loss, hardship and overcoming both; it will make you laugh and, at times, break your heart. You will despair at the cruelty of a world in which the marginalised are forsaken but stand in awe at the extent of goodness surrounding us, because, ultimately, people depend on each other.
Download or read book Groomed written by Laurie Matthew and published by Simon & Schuster Limited. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful and honest memoir, Laurie Matthew takes the reader with her as she revisits her childhood in 1950s and 1960s Dundee. Raised in a home which consisted of an emotionally neglectful and physically violent mother, a distant father, a chronically sick brother and a sister she needed to protect, the only ray of light in little Laurie's life came from the man who would return home from the Army with pockets full of sweets and bags of toys. Uncle Andrew would shower her with attention and love, capture the hearts of everyone around him - and carefully groom her for years of abuse by not only himself, but also by a network of paedophiles. Laurie tells a harrowing story of isolation, as her abusers went to extraordinary lengths to carry out their sick acts, wearing masks to confuse and torment her and keeping her away from other children. But these evil men had no idea that the girl they systematically violated would turn into one of the country's leading child protection experts, and that their legacy would give her the impetus to change the lives of so many innocent victims.

Download or read book The Hero and the Whore written by Camille Hernandez and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the things modern people of faith overlook or choose to ignore in the Bible, stories of sexual exploitation are near the top of the list. This isn’t so different from our world today, when victims of trafficking, rape, and harassment are dismissed and disbelieved, their stories twisted and erased. Trauma-informed educator and minister Camille Hernandez dives deep into the Bible’s stories of exploitation and abuse to name the difficult truths buried in Scripture, address the forms such violence takes in modern society, and illuminate a path of healing and hope. With a blend of storytelling, cultural analysis, and trauma-informed care, The Hero and the Whore invites readers to reconsider their assumptions about victims of sexual exploitation and respond with compassionate understanding that will bring us all to the wholeness God desires.

Book excerpt: A dark relationship evolves between a high schooler and her English teacher in this breathtakingly powerful memoir about a young woman who must learn to rewrite her own story. “Have you ever read Lolita?” So begins seventeen-year-old Alisson’s metamorphosis from student to lover and then victim. A lonely and vulnerable high school senior, Alisson finds solace only in her writing—and in a young, charismatic English teacher, Mr. North. Mr. North gives Alisson a copy of Lolita to read, telling her it is a beautiful story about love. The book soon becomes the backdrop to a connection that blooms from a simple crush into a forbidden romance. But as Mr. North’s hold on her tightens, Alisson is forced to evaluate how much of their narrative is actually a disturbing fiction. In the wake of what becomes a deeply abusive relationship, Alisson is faced again and again with the story of her past, from rereading Lolita in college to working with teenage girls to becoming a professor of creative writing. It is only with that distance and perspective that she understands the ultimate power language has had on her—and how to harness that power to tell her own true story. Being Lolita is a stunning coming-of-age memoir that shines a bright light on our shifting perceptions of consent, vulnerability, and power. This is the story of what happens when a young woman realizes her entire narrative must be rewritten—and then takes back the pen to rewrite it.

Download or read book The Emancipation of Mr Cash written by Lance Levens and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Cash is addicted to the mayo-drips and brown buns of a Big Mac, so he undergoes a colonoscopy. Under anesthesia he dreams about his advanced high school history class (three African American super stars) and the sometimes-salacious diary they’re reading from the Civil War. The diary concerns Charles’s own ancestors, specifically the picaresque adventures of Cato Cincinnatus Cash (“CC”), med school failure and dope addict, and his paramour, Lulu Hartmann, German bi-sexual chanteuse. Charles’s three students fall in love with CC and Lulu and their troupe, including Little Bug, a black boy about eleven who carries a frog leg around his neck that from time to time, turns into a wise counselor who keeps the little man from getting depressed. Isabell Feinberg, school art teacher and Charles’s fiancé, points out that his students love him, but he has only shown them white people in the war. What they really want is to learn about slavery. What was it like? How did the slaves survive? Charles, a white man, is convinced even he can’t teach them that…until he is himself transformed in his dream into a black slave and is hauled away to a rice plantation on the Pedee River to serve as a secretary for a masked, brutal plantation owner. Little Bug and Mr. Jam save him and bring him back to his classroom where his three black students are ecstatic. In his dream CC and Lulu are married and Charles and Isabelle are married. During Charles’s ceremony, a trumpet sounds. The walls of the chapel fall away, and from all over the south, graves open and the dead of both north and south rise. They’re grinning and they all march forward toward Charles. He's stunned and relieved and a burden is lifted from his heart. When Charles wakes up from his colonoscopy, (which took 30 minutes), he proposes to the real Isabelle and tells her he has been granted a vision. He’s a lackluster Episcopalian, who doesn’t normally believe in visions, but this one he believes. He is free from the Civil War, his ancestor CC, and his parents. He proposes marriage. The end.
