Download or read book The Unspoken Truth written by Angelica Garnett and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real life and fiction meet as Angelica Garnett vividly evokes what it is to grow up in the shadow of artists. Her family appear in different guises in the stories, but at the centre of each one is Garnett herself. She is naïve and foolish as Bettina, desperately seeking acceptance into the grown-ups circle ('When All the Leaves Were Green, My Love'); shy and cautious, but finally disloyal, as Agnes ('Aurore'); a hesitant, uncomfortable Emily ('The Birthday Party'); and a contemplative, even witty older woman, full of appetite and guilt, as Helen ('Friendship'). Spanning an entire life, each story reveals a figure trying to understand her place not only within the polished circle of her family, but in an ever-changing world. Sharply observing a colourful social milieu and the vibrant characters that populate it, these are stories about family and friendships, yet also curdled relationships and small betrayals. A fictional counterpoint to her acclaimed memoir, Deceived with Kindness, here is a portrait of a woman seeking an understanding and acceptance of her past.

Download or read book I Can t Make it O K written by Ronald A. Hamlen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-05-31 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I CAN ́T MAKE IT O.K.! A STORY OF DEPRESSION, MARRIAGE, AND DISCOVERY is about the destruction that uncontrolled depression unleashes within families. This is a true story about the author’s struggle to help manage his wife’s depression and his quest to understand its cause. Examined are possible genetic connections that might link their children to an increased sensitivity to depressive illness and possible origins from his wife’s traumatic and dysfunctional childhood. Whatever the cause, this illness tore their family apart as they struggled to hold together their lives and sanity as they searched for hope. Hope is always needed, and, once gone, there is only despair to be endured--the everyday reality for families overwhelmed by depressive illness. While the intent of this story is not to condemn all medical treatment or all therapists, it is critical of the over use of the medical model with the identified individual patient to the exclusion of family, who are also in need of help. It is meant as an awakening for those who are in similar situations and an encouragement to demand from your community mental health service providers the help everyone needs. I believe this story will resonate with experiences of other families caught in the crossfire of competing needs of the patient, psychiatrists, psychologists, and self. Lastly, this story is for my adult children to increase their understanding and comprehension of what happened to our family during their childhood. A forward by Thomas C. Kneavel, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, addresses the tragic impact of depression on effected families. The author´s email is [email protected]

Book excerpt: “The Enchanted wrapped its beautiful and terrible fingers around me from the first page and refused to let go after the last. A wondrous book that finds transcendence in the most unlikely of places. . . . So dark yet so exquisite.” — Erin Morgenstern, author of The Night Circus An astonishing and redemptive novel for readers of Alice Sebold and Toni Morrison, told from the point of view of a convict whose magical interpretations of prison life allow him to find absolute joy while isolated from the rest of humanity and a female investigator who experiences her own personal salvation in her work as a death penalty investigator. This is an enchanted place. Others don’t see it but I do. The enchanted place is a high security prison and is relayed through the eyes of an inmate on death row who escapes his surroundings by immersing himself in books, and by re-imagining the world that surrounds him. Instead of focusing on the cloudy medical vines that snake across the floor, empty and waiting for the warden’s finger to press the red buttons, our narrator sees golden horses as they run deep under the earth, heat flowing like molten metal from their backs. A woman and fallen priest haunt the prison halls--an unnamed female investigator only known as the Lady who is known for discovering information relating to soon-to-be executed inmates’ backgrounds that can be used to overturn their sentences. She is put on the case of a man named York and as she digs into his past, the experience brings up ghosts of her own and threatens to destroy everything that she has come to know about the enchanted place. The Enchanted is a magical novel about redemption, the humanity that can lie within what is monstrous, and the human capacity to transcend and survive.
