Download or read book Till Then My Love Forever written by Donald Scioscia and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I BELIEVE DIVINE INTERVENTION HELPED SAVE MY LIFE. Other people may call it being lucky, beating the odds, or a twist of fate. But there was one day in my life, one dramatic moment that determined whether I would live or die. The intervention came so dramatically I thought that what happened must have been from God. Amazingly, it was not a doctor who rescued me from death. Instead, God sent the most famous Wall Street financier and philanthropist at the time, who met with presidents of the United States. His name was Bernard M. Baruch. Now that I'm in my seventies, I have the luxury of looking back and trying to understand why God gave me a long life, what I like to call the mystery of life, with a little intervention from Mr. Baruch. Why did God let me live? That is an interesting question only because I never became as wealthy or famous Mr. Baruch.

Download or read book Mad Girl s Love Song written by Andrew Wilson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of Sylvia Plath, a literary icon who continues to haunt, fascinate, and enthrall even now, fifty years after her death. On February 25 , 1956, twenty-three-year-old Sylvia Plath walked into a party and immediately spotted Ted Hughes. This encounter—now one of the most famous in all of literary history—was recorded by Plath in her journal, where she described Hughes as a “big, dark, hunky boy.” Sylvia viewed Ted as something of a colossus, and to this day his enormous shadow has obscured her life and work. The sensational aspects of the Plath-Hughes relationship have dominated the cultural landscape to such an extent that their story has taken on the resonance of a modern myth. Before she met Ted, Plath had lived a complex, creative, and disturbing life. Her father had died when she was only eight; she had gone out with literally hundreds of men, had been unofficially engaged, had tried to commit suicide, and had written more than two hundred poems. Mad Girl’s Love Song chronicles these early years, traces the sources of her mental instability, and examines how a range of personal, economic, and societal factors—the real disquieting muses—conspired against her. Drawing on exclusive interviews with friends and lovers who have never spoken openly about Plath before and using previously unavailable archives and papers, this is the first book to focus on the early life of the twentieth century’s most popular and enduring female poet. Mad Girl’s Love Song reclaims Sylvia Plath from the tangle of emotions associated with her relationship with Ted Hughes and reveals the origins of her unsettled and unsettling voice.
