Download or read book The Long Journey Home written by Margaret Robison and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First introduced to the world in her sons’ now-classic memoirs—Augusten Burroughs’s Running with Scissors and John Elder Robison’s Look Me in the Eye—Margaret Robison now tells her own haunting and lyrical story. A poet and teacher by profession, Robison describes her Southern Gothic childhood, her marriage to a handsome, brilliant man who became a split-personality alcoholic and abusive husband, the challenges she faced raising two children while having psychotic breakdowns of her own, and her struggle to regain her sanity. Robison grew up in southern Georgia, where the façade of 1950s propriety masked all sorts of demons, including alcoholism, misogyny, repressed homosexuality, and suicide. She met her husband, John Robison, in college, and together they moved up north, where John embarked upon a successful academic career and Margaret brought up the children and worked on her art and poetry. Yet her husband’s alcoholism and her collapse into psychosis, and the eventual disintegration of their marriage, took a tremendous toll on their family: Her older son, John Elder, moved out of the house when he was a teenager, and her younger son, Chris (who later renamed himself Augusten), never completed high school. When Margaret met Dr. Rodolph Turcotte, the therapist who was treating her husband, she felt understood for the first time and quickly fell under his idiosyncratic and, eventually, harmful influence. Robison writes movingly and honestly about her mental illness, her shortcomings as a parent, her difficult marriage, her traumatic relationship with Dr. Turcotte, and her two now-famous children, Augusten Burroughs and John Elder Robison, who have each written bestselling memoirs about their family. She also writes inspiringly about her hard-earned journey to sanity and clarity. An astonishing and enduring story, The Long Journey Home is a remarkable and ultimately uplifting account of a complicated, afflicted twentieth-century family.

Download or read book A Long Journey Home written by Stevie Ray Hansen and published by Almond Tree Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people will never be rejected by their family, outcast and alone at 14. Most people won't be threatened, stalked and almost murdered by the mob. Most people will never serve time in a maximum-security prison. But everyone has gone through traumas and devastating disappointments. In this riveting memoir, StevieRay Hansen will lead you through his incredible journey from homeless kid to multimillionaire oilman willing to give a helping hand to other throwaway kids. "I realized that there was a powerful connection between forgiveness and prosperity," Hansen says. "When I finally forgave my parents from my heart, it seemed as though whatever had blocked prosperity came unplugged. "I plowed money back into the business. I gave large amounts to widows and orphans. I made a startling discovery. I couldn't give it all away. God kept multiplying it back to me. Forgiveness changed everything. "It's hard to describe the difference that forgiveness has brought. It's like winning a lottery ticket. You can hold onto the ticket-with all its promise-or you can cash it in and claim your new life."

Book excerpt: One Long Journey is the extraordinary story of Lohit Datta-Barua, who was born into poverty along the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River in the remote state of Assam in northeastern India. As a boy, he walked into the beggar and leper colonies of homeless people and untouchables while rounding up his family's wandering cows. Caste-based taboos blocked his marriage to the woman he loved. Secrets surrounding his birth haunted him, and death stalked him. Datta-Barua drew inspiration from Lincoln's Gettysburg address-which he posted on his wall and memorized-to make the seemingly impossible journey to America with $8 in his pocket. He achieved a high-level career worldwide as an oil and gas engineer and became a major force as an early organizer in the Assamese immigrant community throughout North America. As an inspiring contributor to social justice he continues to touch people's lives.

Download or read book Long Journey Home written by James W. Brown and published by Indiana University Press (Ips). This book was released on 2008 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through first-person accounts, Long Journey Home presents the stories of the Lenape, also known as the Delaware Tribe. These oral histories, which span the post–Civil War era to the present, are gathered into four sections and tell of personal and tribal events as they unfold over time and place. The history of the Lenape is one of forced displacement, from their original tribal home along the eastern seaboard into Pennsylvania, continuing with a series of displacements in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, and the Indian Territory. For the group of Lenape interviewed for this book, home is now the area around Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The stories of their long journey have been handed down and remain part of the tribe's collective memory and bring an unforgettable immediacy to the tale of the Lenape. Above all they make clear that the history of seven generations remains very much alive.
