Download or read book Braided Lives written by Piercy, Marge and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marge Piercy carries her portrait of the American experience back into the Fifties—that closed, repressive time in which forces for the upheavals of the Sixties ticked away underground. Spanning twenty years, and teeming with vivid characters, Braided Lives tells the powerful, unsentimental story of two young women coming of age. Jill, fiercely independent, dark, Jewish, an intellectual with Detroit street smarts, is a poet, curious, avid of life—a “professional student” and sometime thief. Donna, Jill’s cousin and closest friend, is blond, pretty, and alluring. Together, they grow and change at college in Ann Arbor, where the life of poets and painters contrasts sharply with the working-class neighborhood where Jill’s family lives. In Michigan, and afterward in New York City, the two women taste love and betrayal, friendship and pain, independence and fear as they reach a deepening understanding that to control their lives they must fight. And though their fates differ as widely as their personalities, both reflect the danger that sex posed at a time when abortions were illegal and an affair could destroy a woman’s life, making the outcome of a chance encounter or a night of love a matter of life and death. Braided Lives is an enduring portrait of the past that has led to our tenuous present. In her new introduction to this edition, Marge Piercy reflects on both the most autobiographical of her novels, and the ongoing battles to ensure the hard-fought victories of the Sixties and Seventies, particularly around sex and reproductive rights.

Book excerpt: JOHNNY QUINN shares his “wild dream” of playing in the NFL, being crushed after getting cut three times, losing 2.6 million dollars in contracts and blowing out his knee. At age 30, when most professional athletes are considered “over the hill,” Johnny was competing for Team USA in the sport of bobsled at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. This book ushers readers through the valleys of life to the thrills of rocketing down icy mountains at 80+ mph with no seat belt. Discover how the author overcame failure on the road to achieving greatness. From an NFL failure to a U.S. Olympian, Johnny’s “what’s next” attitude led him to success he never imagined. In PUSH, Johnny looks at failure as a season of life rather than a death sentence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a step into my world, and enter into a dimension of complete excitement, as I take you on My Colorful Poetic Journey! I will take you through WWII glimpses by my father, to love letters he wrote to my mother, and all the details of growing up in America. Then, I will entrance you with the tales of faraway places, such as Morocco, Thailand, China, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, France, England, Russia, Greece, Argentina, and more. I will acquaint you with 5 years of living in Europe. You will also discover things you have never heard about, like “ice stock shooting”, a Central European sport, after 30 years of involvement. You will also discover my roots, dating back to 1451 on my Swiss side of the family. You will experience what my English ancestors went through coming to America from England in 1822. You will hear my heart singing through pages of poetry or lamentations to others. I have even included speeches I wrote while being a Toastmaster. I also expressed deeply felt eroticism in my poetry section, called “Erotic Awakenings”, where I express personal feelings of love and lust. Most of the book is written in rhyming couplets, either while detailing an adventure, or longing for love and acceptance. Also, many of my writings are letters to family and friends. Leaving home at 18, to travel abroad, captures the occasional youthful distress, but more of the excitement of discovering the world around me. Follow me through two marriages and many more adventures, both in California, and in New Hampshire, but mostly be part of my many adventures abroad. Jump on the Strauss plane and be captivated by the magic, the mystery, and the machinations of a poetic mind.
