Download or read book All Those Tears We Can t See written by Gita Audhya and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALL THOSE TEARS WE CAN’T SEE follows a successful, liberal, Indian-American family in California as they live out their American Dream. However, tensions soon begin to flare between mother Samantha and daughter Monica, as Monica’s increasingly uninhibited Western customs clash with Samantha’s traditional Eastern values as Monica loves a white, Christian, American boy. Soon the women embark on separate journeys to India, where they reassess themselves and their values. Not only is impressive that taken on an international odyssey for a first-hand look at India in the modern day (and also much of the past), but taken on an internal, emotional, and contemplative journey with Monica, and Samantha who must confront their preconceived notions of life and love head-on. It contains interesting, thoughtful, and intelligent characters at every turn. An internal, contemplative, philosophical journey just as they are taken on an adventure abroad. At several key points in this epic family tale readers would be on the verge of tears. This is an inter-generational, and international drama that describes how difficult and traumatic for Samantha (The immigrant in my book) to leave everything behind and start a new life where the language, culture, traditions, morals, beliefs, and everyday way of life are totally foreign and then assimilate into a new country while still retaining her own culture and beliefs. Monica and Brandon’s exploits are gripping and suspenseful Western romances. Samantha and Amit’s initial Eastern romance would also enchant the younger reader. As we follow Samantha on her journey of self-reflection in pursuit of acceptance, love, open-mindedness, and adaptation as the times change she and Monica are able to reestablish their connection with each other, offer their forgiveness, and reaffirm their special love for each other. Monica recovers and goes back to America with Brandon. With burning eyes, Samantha promises to return to India.
Download or read book Tears We Cannot Stop written by Michael Eric Dyson and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A hard-hitting sermon on the racial divide, directed specifically to a white congregation.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review A New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe Bestseller As the country grapples with racial division at a level not seen since the 1960s, Michael Eric Dyson’s voice is heard above the rest. In Tears We Cannot Stop, a provocative and deeply personal call or change, Dyson argues that if we are to make real racial progress, we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how Black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, and discounted. In the tradition of James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time—short, emotional, literary, powerful—this is the book that all Americans who care about the current and long-burning crisis in race relations need to read. Praise for Tears We Cannot Stop Named a Best/Most Anticipated Book of 2017 by: The Washington Post • Bustle • Men’s Journal • The Chicago Reader • StarTribune • Blavity• The Guardian • NBC New York’s Bill’s Books • Kirkus Reviews • Essence “Elegantly written and powerful in several areas: moving personal recollections; profound cultural analysis; and guidance for moral redemption. A work to relish.” —Toni Morrison “Here’s a sermon that’s as fierce as it is lucid . . . If you’re black, you’ll feel a spark of recognition in every paragraph. If you’re white, Dyson tells you what you need to know—what this white man needed to know, at least. This is a major achievement. I read it and said amen.” —Stephen King “One of the most frank and searing discussions on race . . . a deeply serious, urgent book, which should take its place in the tradition of Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time and King’s Why We Can’t Wait.” —The New York Times Book Review
