Download or read book My Real Name Is Hanna written by Tara Lynn Masih and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hanna Slivka is on the cusp of fourteen when Hitler's army crosses the border into Soviet-occupied Ukraine. Soon, the Gestapo closes in, determined to make the shtetele she lives in "free of Jews." Until the German occupation, Hanna spent her time exploring Kwasova with her younger siblings, admiring the drawings of the handsome Leon Stadnick, and helping her neighbor dye decorative pysanky eggs. But now she, Leon, and their families are forced to flee and hide in the forest outside their shtetele-and then in the dark caves beneath the rolling meadows, rumored to harbor evil spirits. Underground, they battle sickness and starvation, while the hunt continues above. When Hanna's father disappears, suddenly it's up to Hanna to find him-and to find a way to keep the rest of her family, and friends, alive. Sparse, resonant, and lyrical, weaving in tales of Jewish and Ukrainian folklore, My Real Name Is Hanna celebrates the sustaining bonds of family, the beauty of a helping hand, and the tenacity of the human spirit.

Miriam is a Romany girl drawn from freedom in the hills of the North-West to the city to eke a living playing her tin-whistle in a place where her people are despised. When her mother dies - from cholera, the 'gypsy disease' - she's caught breaking-and-entering and sentenced to transportation. Rose has been brought up to expect more, but when her husband dies and her father is sent down for illegal slave-trading, she's separated from her children and forced to take a governess's job. When she's caught stealing, the judge shows no mercy. Surviving - just - an appalling voyage, the two arrive just after Christmas into the blinding sun of the strange new island: Van Dieman's Land. Here they are sent to work in a nursery, where women of ill-repute give birth before being sent for correction. The nursery is run by a corrupt, debauched Reverend and his idealistic son, who soon takes a fancy to Miriam. But Rose, her best friend and close confidant, watches jealously and makes plans to reverse their fortunes. The Night Flower takes the reader on a thrilling Dickensian adventure through the dark side of our penal history to a Tasmanian frontier town where anything could happen and morality is made by monsters.

Download or read book Elemental Power Fighters written by Kairi Soulnet and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Dead Planet in the Heritia galaxy, demons converge to prepare for battle. They are led by Kazar, the most evil of demons. He has a devious plan to overtake the galaxy and to rule Heritia, but to do so he must first conquer those with powers that threaten his agenda. For instance, on the planet of Alkemmila, it is possible for youth to connect with nature and learn to harness its elemental power or strength. One such youth is Shun Kazano, Kazar's main target. Kazar murdered Shun's parents, leaving him an orphan. Since the loss of his parents, however, Shun has become strong. He has harnessed the power of the wind, and even well-trained soldiers and fellow power fighters don't stand a chance against him. Although Kazar wants to add Shun's strength to his own, Shun chooses instead to fight against him. Shun is not alone in the battle against Kazar. There are others with power over the elements, and with the right training they could become an army worthy to fight the demons of the Dead Planet. Shun keeps his past a secret, though-something that could cause a rift among the fighters. Will an argument give Kazar a way to win and rule the galaxy, or will Shun and his new friends fulfill their destiny and save the galaxy from a ruthless, evil dictator?

Download or read book The Real Name of God written by Rabbi Wayne Dosick and published by Inner Traditions. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals the real, whole name of God and its place within each of us • Explains how none of the God-names commonly used in the Bible is God’s real name • Shows how the real name of God unites all religions from both West and East • Includes spiritual techniques, prayers, poems, and meditative chants to bring each of us into deep, personal, intimate, living relationship with God Of the many names of God commonly used in the Bible and other sacred literature, none is God’s real name. Every God-name, including YHWH, reflects only one of God’s many aspects, such as the loving creator, the militaristic authoritarian, or the all-knowing judge. None embodies the wholeness, the totality, the full Essence of God. Who then are we to speak to when we seek God? If you can’t truly know something until you know its name, how can we truly know God? The culmination of years of translation research and etymological investigation, Rabbi Wayne Dosick’s work digs through many layers of presumption and deeply ingrained beliefs to reveal the real name of God hiding in plain sight in the Bible: Anochi. He shows how this sacred name unites all religions--both of the West and the East. The name Anochi enables us to finally meet the whole, complete, real God--both the grand God of the vast universe and the God of breath, soul, and heart who dwells within each of us. This in-depth exploration of God’s name includes spiritual techniques, poems, guided prayers, and meditative chants to bring each of us into personal, intimate, and purposeful relationship with God. By knowing the real name of God, we can affirm the connection to the Divine at the core of our being. We can touch the face of God that resides deep within us all.

Download or read book Wounded Writers Ask Am I Doing it Write written by S. Rebecca Leigh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses (and aims to dismantle) writer woundedness, a state of being that prevents students from trusting themselves as capable of writing something they can feel good about. Wounded Writers Ask: Am I Doing it Write? invites students to begin a new writing history through a collection of 48 free-writes that explore list writing, aesthetic writing, word craft, and writing that delves into personal life stories. These free-writes are invitations to develop a lead or improve a story title, to discover a character’s name or replace one word for another that is more vivid, to locate a story idea or revise a story’s focus. More than this, Wounded Writers Ask: Am I Doing it Write? emphasizes creative consciousness over correctness, where writing is a vehicle for exploring identity and (re)claiming voice across multiple grade levels. This book is for the wounded student writer as much as it is for the wounded classroom teacher as writer, who may feel burdened by his/her own writing history such that he/she struggles with where or how to start. For each free-write, Leigh offers Before Writing, During Writing, and After Writing suggestions with samples of student writing to guide teachers into writing engagements with their students that break down walls and open up new vistas.
