Book excerpt: In this amazing odyssey of two black women from the 1930s to the present, all the storytelling gifts of a brilliant Pulitzer Prize -- winning writer are abundantly displayed. When we first meet Baby, she's one of six black children abandoned by their parents during the Depression. They are roadwalkers -- homeless wanderers across the rural South, leading a dangerous, almost enchanted life. One by one they are saved, lost, or simply disappear, until only Baby and a brother are left, living off the land -- a primitive gypsy existence hauntingly described. Finally Baby is captured -- almost like a wild animal -- by the white farm manager of an old plantation where the children have been hiding. He sends her to an orphanage in New Orleans, where she guards the rich mythic content of her wandering against the invasive kindness of the nuns by covering the walls with strange, brilliant drawings of flowers and animals. We next see Baby decades later, through the eyes of her daughter, Nanda, who at thirty-six looks back at her own childhood. Baby and Nanda move into the middle class through Baby's eccentrically successful career -- first as a seamstress, then as a designer of dresses for rich white women. Raised a princess in the protective circle of Baby's magic, Nanda in her teens is suddenly catapulted into the white world when she is sent off to integrate a white Catholic girls' school in the East. Seeing herself as her mother saw herself -- alone in an alien place, Nanda finds an entirely different means of survival. A rich and wonderfully fresh -- often astonishing -- evocation of the black experience in the South, seen through the lives of two fascinating women.
Download or read book Sacrifice in Silence written by Angel Mari and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a decade of sexual abuse from my father and a look farther into why victims do not or take so long to come forward, there are a lot of factors and manipulation and threats along with every emotion you can think of. At the age of five and having no memories of anything but abuse I can say now that knowledge is key in these situations and this culture we have of keeping sexual abuse quite only protects the guilty while the innocent suffer . how do we help children who know no different that this behavior is wrong and criminal, The more awareness we bring to the issue the more children will be helped. The only information I had I got from my parents, and when your parents are the abusers how would you question them? For as long as I can remember I had always felt like I was a small person living inside of the shell of the person that was supposed to be me, like I was looking through my eyes and watching what I was doing but I was not there, the thoughts and felling that I could hear and say out loud never seemed to reach to the mouth of the shell that was supposed to speak for me, she was me and I was her, but she was silent when I would scream, she said nothing when I said stop, she was quite when I wanted her to yell, she was weak and I watched in confusion at what I was seeing. My perception of these events and memories have drastically change over the years. I have no memories before the abuse therefore I had nothing to compare. How was I to know that wasn't normal when it's all I ever knew. Your parents teach you what to say, how to act, what is right and wrong, what to feel or not to feel and how to get along. What was once a loving hug from my father is now a realization of evil intent to manipulate a young child's feelings of security and safety. A fun-loving free-spirited mother who loved me, is now a chilling gut wrenching, selfish, sorry excuse for a mother, the sense I once had of a close family unit and support system are now nothing but distant memories of building treehouses, dirt clod wars and choreographed dance performances in my living room, all along suffocating inside. I will never forget, the anger, rage and frustration that was constantly felt, was only ever calmed temporarily by my sacrifice in silence, under a blanket full of guilt. This was my life for 10 years and finally when I thought it was all over and I tried to pick up the pieces and form a life for myself, I was meet with a different kind of abuse from my mother, the woman I had tried to protect and the woman that I loved betrayed me in the most evil of ways over and over again, I never in my life though any pain could be worse than the torture I received from my father, but I was sadly mistaken.
Download or read book Unshame written by Carolyn Spring and published by Pods Trauma Training Limited. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book for psychotherapists and their clients - and for anyone who wants to make the journey from shame to unshame. Carolyn Spring, author of 'Recovery is my best revenge: my experience of trauma, abuse and dissociative identity disorder', documents in this, her second book, her journey through psychotherapy to heal and resolve trauma-based shame, which had resulted in a catastrophic mental breakdown in her early thirties and an eventual diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder (DID). She then embarked on a nearly ten year journey of psychotherapy through which she came to realise that shame had actually saved her life. However, the cost to this protective function is a life lived dissociated from feelings of joy, connection, love and belonging. This book explores Carolyn's pathway towards 'Unshame'. Suitable for both professionals and survivors alike, it is a fascinating insight into that most private and mysterious of places - the therapy room, and the mind. About the author Carolyn Spring helps people recover from trauma and to reverse adversity. She is author of numerous books and articles and has delivered extensive training throughout the UK for both dissociative survivors and professionals working with them. She set up PODS (Positive Outcomes for Dissociative Survivors) in 2010 to promote recovery from dissociative disorders. She now works more widely in the field of mental health and adversity and combines a wealth of personal experience with research in her writing and training, bringing a rare positivity and the belief that no matter what people have experienced, recovery is possible.

Book excerpt: When a career-ending injury left elite athlete and professional football player Lewis Howes out of work and living on his sister’s couch, he decided he needed to make a change for the better. He started by reaching out to people he admired, searching for mentors, and applying his past coaches’ advice from sports to life off the field. Lewis did more than bounce back: He built a multimillion-dollar online business and is now a sought-after business coach, speaker, and podcast host. In The School of Greatness, Howes shares the essential tips and habits he gathered in interviewing “the greats” on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. In discussion with people like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun, Howes figured out that greatness is unearthed and cultivated from within. The masters of greatness are not successful because they got lucky or are innately more talented, but because they applied specific habits and tools to embrace and overcome adversity in their lives. A framework for personal development, The School of Greatness gives you the tools, knowledge, and actionable resources you need to reach your potential. Howes anchors each chapter with a specific lesson he culled from his greatness “professors” and his own experiences to teach you how to create a vision, develop hustle, and use dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. His lessons and practical exercises prove that anyone is capable of achieving success and that we can all strive for greatness in our everyday lives.

Download or read book I ll Be The Parent You Be The Child written by Paul Kropp and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2007-10-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With myriad parenting books available today, it's no wonder parents are confused by the range of opinions and quick fixes these books offer. I'll Be the Parent, You Be the Child leaves theories behind and gives parents of school-age children practical approaches for handling fundamental child-rearing issues. Out of a welter of parenting fads and on-going cultural upheavals, Paul Kropp answers parents' number-one question, "What is the right way to rear our children to become responsible, well-adjusted adults?" Kropp responds with irrefutable evidence that favors time-honored essentials for parenting success, from providing unconditional love to setting consistent rules-qualities we know are easily overlooked in favor of feel-good fads. Next he tackles specific, topical problems that concern parents most, offering advice that often runs counter to fashion but that parents will cheer. Topics include praise and its dangers; quality time, and why it never works; privacy, and why too much of it is a bad thing; allowance, and the true purpose of giving a child his own money; and much more.This is a bracing, often humorous, book that debunks easy, TV-style parenting and provides down-to-earth problem-solving that parents can really use, with lots of real-life examples.
