Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should she take the leap through the window into the unknown? Seventeen-year-old Kyrie had no idea if she could survive it, but the notion of staying was much less appealing than the risks of the streets. A bullet that finds a fleeing target in the night, a baby held out of a high-rise window, and squatting in a rodent-infested apartment are just some of the experiences within Kyrie's family dynamic perpetrated by her father's actions and enabled by her mother's acquiescence. Gifts in Brown Paper Packages (Gifts) is a coming-of-age story commencing the night New York City teenager Kyrie Graves impulsively flees the verbal and physical abuse prevalent in her childhood home to tackle life and adulthood with no plan except survival. The night that Kyrie decides to exit her bedroom window one final time changes the course of her life. Gifts is a story of a young girl's survival driven by strength, personal growth, a journey to self-awareness, and ultimately acknowledging her truth. Through Kyrie's lens, the reader is led through vivid episodic flashbacks from her adolescence through young adulthood in a journey ripe with experiences that are sometimes funny, often shocking and painful, and always genuine. Acceptance of her story and how it shapes her enables Kyrie to embrace the lessons, i.e., gifts, that strife and challenges offer despite their unpalatable aspects. Kyrie reveals her struggles, fears, and growth through this tale while displaying the perseverance that births her power and voice. Ultimately, Kyrie recognizes and accepts all the gifts, even the ones that come wrapped in brown paper packages!

She begins with an introduction to the enchanting village of Nelson, where she first meets her house. Sarton finds she must “dream the house alive” inside herself before taking the major step of signing the deed.

She discovers peace and beauty in solitude, whether she is toiling in the garden or writing at her desk. This is a loving, beautifully crafted memoir illuminated by themes of friendship, love, nature, and the struggles of the creative life. This ebook features an extended biography of May Sarton.

Download or read book The Inheritance of Shame written by Peter Gajdics and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the book that's getting conversion therapy banned in Canada Winner of the Independent Book Publisher Award, Finalist for the Randy Shilts Award for Gay Nonfiction and the Saints and Sinners Emerging Writer Award. "Unforgettable... This book is appallingly appropriate in these times." — FOREWORD REVIEWS This resonant and acclaimed memoir recounts the six years that the author spent in a bizarre form of conversion therapy that attempted to "cure" him of his homosexuality, and the inspiring story of how he cast out shame and reclaimed his life. Kept with other patients in a cult-like home in British Columbia, Canada, Peter Gajdics was under the authority of a dominating, rogue psychiatrist who controlled his patients, in part, by creating and exploiting a false sense of family. Juxtaposed against his parents' tormented past–his mother's incarceration and escape from a communist concentration camp in post-World War II Yugoslavia, and his father's upbringing as an orphan in war-torn Hungary, The Inheritance of Shame explores the universal themes of childhood trauma, oppression, and intergenerational pain. “DEEPLY MOVING." — THE ADVOCATE “RAW AND UNFLINCHING" — KIRKUS REVIEWS “A HERO’S JOURNEY IN WHICH ANY READER, GAY OR STRAIGHT, CAN FIND INSPIRATION.” — LAMBDA LITERARY FOUNDATION All over the United States and Canada, districts, cities and states are banning conversion, ex-gay and reparative therapies. A powerful example of "healing through memoir," this book offers the most complete and compelling reason for those bans to date. A groundbreaking memoir, The Inheritance of Shame offers insights into overcoming all kinds of shame, especially that which has trickled down from previous generations, and into the complicated but all-too-worthwhile process of forgiveness.

Download or read book Revelations in a Brown Paper Bag written by Gary H. Coller and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you desire revelation of truth, you must start with an empty cup. That is, you must rid yourself of all preconceived notions. Scripture says that wisdom begins with the fear of God. An empty cup with the fear of God is the foundation of truth. Contemplate all you encounter from that perspective. If you struggle with your health and your faith, then it's time to empty your cup of all your preconceptions. As you learn to fill it with God's truth, you will find refreshment for both your soul and body. Dr. Coller begins by laying out a strong spiritual foundation for readers, then builds on this by addressing the ways that external and internal energy sources can affect our lives and examining the healing power of God as shown in scripture. By looking at both spiritual and physical causes for illness, Dr. Coller shows the important roles of both faith and science. His medical background is obvious as he provides readers with health and nutrition guidelines, but his spiritual authority is also clear through his inspired insight into scripture. Despite a prophetic word from God that he would write a book that would bless many people, Dr. Coller struggled with fruitless attempts until a patient arrived with the purpose of praying over him in tongues. She told him 'God told you to write a book and he wants it done!' Shortly after this encounter, he began waking up in the middle of the night with revelations that illuminated certain scriptures. He would write them down and thrown them into a paper sack. Finally, he collected them into the book you hold in your hands: Revelations in a Brown Paper Bag.

Kevin writes: 'The Listener magazine wrote, "In an age of glossy packaging, Kevin Milne is a brown paper bag". I think it was meant as a compliment and I'll settle for that. So, welcome to the life and times of a brown paper bag.'

Each one gets treated a certain way, whether good or bad. Choices are made that influence their paths. One goes off to Harvard; the other one goes off to prison. Together they're a magnet subjected to the pain, judgment, favoritism, and the mirror is bright through comparison.
