Download or read book Change Me Into Zeus s Daughter written by Barbara Robinette Moss and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-01-27 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunting and triumphant story of a difficult and keenly felt life, Change Me into Zeus's Daughter is a remarkable literary memoir of resilience, redemption, and growing up in the South. Barbara Robinette Moss was the fourth in a family of eight children raised in the red-clay hills of Alabama. Their wild-eyed, alcoholic father was a charismatic and irrationally proud man who, when sober, captured his children's timid awe, but when (more often) drunk, roused them from bed for severe punishment or bizarre all-night poker games. Their mother was their angel: erudite and stalwart -- her only sin her inability to leave her husband for the sake of the children. Unlike the rest of her family, Barbara bore the scars of this abuse and neglect on the outside as well as the inside. As a result of childhood malnutrition and a complete lack of medical and dental care, the bones in her face grew abnormally ("like a thin pine tree"), and she ended up with what she calls "a twisted, mummy face." Barbara's memoir brings us deep into not only the world of Southern poverty and alcoholic child abuse but also the consciousness of one who is physically frail and awkward, relating how one girl's debilitating sense of her own physical appearance is ultimately saved by her faith in the transformative powers of artistic beauty: painting and writing. From early on and with little encouragement from the world, Barbara embodied the fiery determination to change her fate and achieve a life defined by beauty. At age seven, she announced to the world that she would become an artist -- and so she did. Nightly, she prayed to become attractive, to be changed into "Zeus's daughter," the goddess of beauty, and when her prayers weren't answered, she did it herself, raising the money for years of braces followed by facial surgery. Growing up "so ugly," she felt the family's disgrace all the more acutely, but the result has been a keenly developed appreciation for beauty -- physical and artistic -- the evidence of which can be seen in her writing. Despite the deprivation, the lingering image from this memoir is not of self-pity but of the incredible bond between these eight siblings: the raucous, childish fun they had together, the making-do, and the total devotion to their desperate mother, who absorbed most of the father's blows for them and who plied them with art and poetry in place of balanced meals. Gracefully and intelligently woven in layers of flashback, the persistent strength of Barbara Moss's memoir is itself a testament to the nearly lifesaving appreciation for literature that was her mother's greatest gift to her children.

Download or read book Stories from the Hart written by Anne Hart Preus and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Made up of true stories ranging all the way from the ins and outs of daily life in the Mississippi Delta to bona fide brushes with history, Anne Hart Preuss Stories from the Hart is a vivid account of one girls life growing up during some of the most formative years in our nations history, the 1950s and 60s. The reader is introduced to characters from days gone by--family, friends, and other townfolk from rural Tallahatchie County, Mississippi--some of whom came and went quickly, and others who stayed a while. Although intensely personal, the memoir is set against a backdrop of social change, including events from the Emmett Till murder trial and trips to Memphis to see Elvis Presley and the Beatles. The tales in Stories from the Hart may be funny, dramatic, or occasionally even wistful, but they are always touching. Whether Anne Hart Preus is reminiscing about holiday traditions and unexpected snow days, recounting fascinating and endearing town characters, or remembering what it was like to grow up in a community where everyone knew everyone, her natural and engaging style weaves compelling stories that will keep readers coming back for more.
