Download or read book Welcome Home Me written by Sue Skilton Orrell and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1968, as Sue Skilton Orrell left her hometown, DeLand, Florida, she felt that the turmoil in her personal life was as chaotic as the widespread social and political unrest reported in the national news headlines. Despite the history that made her opt to stay away for over 54 years, she completed her formal education, built a successful career in Music Education, and dated every time she was single. Catastrophic weather events that impacted Houston and the onset of night driving limitation led Sue to consider returning to DeLand, the hometown she had never stopped missing. With resolute courage reinforced by numerous friends, family members, and strangers, she faced every decision and challenge to sell her house in Houston, buy another house in DeLand, and make the move within three months after first seriously considering the possibility of reclaiming the bucolic charm of DeLand, home of Stetson University, her undergraduate alma mater. This collection of short stories and journal entries covers the topics of Travel, Teaching, and Dating in Part One. Part Two addresses Weather, Real Estate, and Release. Sue links the topics by reflecting upon their effects on her personal growth, which enabled her ultimately to follow the path home and to be at peace not only within herself, but also in her hometown. For example, rather than writing a typical travelogue that stresses the geographical or cultural aspects of an area, she explored the dynamics of personal relationships and accidental adventures that occurred during some of her trips.

Download or read book Welcome Home written by Julia Yeow and published by Gerakbudaya Enterprise. This book was released on with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Leaving, according to the familiar political narrative, was a sign that someone was giving up on their country or wasn’t proud of his or her identity. Those who decided to emigrate were pigeonholed as dissidents. This stereotype was not only inaccurate, but made us one-dimensional in our apparent single-mindedness to leave behind a country we supposedly felt was no longer good enough.” Migration is a sensitive topic, especially for over one million Malaysians who choose to venture abroad. The act of leaving their own lives behind is fraught with challenges, ranging from loneliness to the elusive search for a better quality of life. But at the heart of their actions is the fact that their lives and identities are never going to be the same. In veteran journalist Julia Yeow’s book, her departure for Australia becomes a series of lessons about the personal and political aspects of leaving. Deeply personal and fiercely observant, Welcome Home is a book for an age of intolerance and new boundaries.

Download or read book POW 3959 written by Ralph E. Sirianni and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-12-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1943, not long after his nineteenth birthday, Ralph Sirianni was drafted for active duty by the U.S. Army. Ordered to the European Theatre of Operations in February 1944, Sgt. Sirianni served as the right waist gunner on a B-17. On his seventh mission over Germany, the plane--severely damaged by German fighters--crashed near Wildeshausen. With shrapnel in his legs and shoulder, Sirianni bailed out, and he spent the following 15 months in the infamous Stalag Luft I prisoner of war camp. This memoir offers harrowing stories of combat, including detailed descriptions of each of Sirianni's combat missions; reveals the horrors of confinement and the despair of skin-of-the-teeth survival; and remembers camaraderie in the face of German abuse. Valuable for its vivid account of aerial warfare and imprisonment, this memoir is also a story of postwar reconciliation, both psychological and social. Appendices offer excerpts from Sirianni's POW log book and pilot George McFall's firsthand account of the ill-fated final mission.

Caroline agrees to move home, concerned that Leo is hiding a more serious health condition than he’s willing to admit. As the first female player in a league full of old-school men, she’s up against more than a few challenges. And when a night gone wrong lands her in the path of her hometown crush—and first love—Caroline struggles to reconcile the life she thought she’d have with the life she might actually want.
