Download or read book I Will Protect Her written by I.R. Dujon and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cover of this autobiography shows I.R. Dujon at the time of publication mothering her younger, 6-year-old self. I Will Protect Her details the adolescent years in which Ingrid was subject to tragic child abuse, while the people in charge of her welfare and safety neglected their most basic responsibilities at every point possible. This led to a prolonged period of suffering for her and for so many others. After years of fighting, a full criminal investigation into the crimes was relaunched. Victims were able finally to expose the police and local authorities for their systematic failure to recognise, report, and act upon avoidable and life-altering abuse. The collation of notes, factual evidence, dates and times as recorded by herself and supported by many others affected, led to the prosecution of one of London’s most notorious paedophiles, who was convicted and sentenced to 24 years in prison. Only now, after years of counselling, therapy, and personal development, Ingrid has managed to finally close this chapter of her life for good. Today Dujon is a proud mother of five children, all now adults. Dujon’s goal is to share her story and inspire any and everyone who has ever been subject to any form of abuse. Ingrid hopes to educate a wider audience who may not be familiar with the patterns and signs of child abuse, and to paint a detailed picture of how people who are external to an abusive situation can still do so much to prevent or change things for the better.

Download or read book My Father Dancing written by Bliss Broyard and published by Knopf. This book was released on 1999 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight stories about relationships between men and women--but especially between fathers and daughters--in a beautiful debut from Bliss Broyard. The fathers in Broyard's collection are charismatic, seductive, often brilliant men who are large in the world and even larger in the home, irresistible but also harmful, beautiful but not benign. Their daughters veer wildly between naive longing--for attention, for connection, for assurance--and cool indifference. They learn to reflect their fathers' light, often at the expense of their own. In spare, unsentimental prose, Broyard captures the passages of daughters, both as young girls and as grown women: the early lessons girls absorb through their fathers--their first male audience--and the secrets girls keep as they test their own desires; the dislocation of discovering, and identifying with, a parent's infidelity; the struggle to escape from familial roles and the unyielding impulse to re-create them. From the perplexity of first kisses and first love to the fierce, joyless abandon of casual sex; from the equivocal attachments of marriages and families to the pure and inconsolable grief of love and mourning so poignantly depicted in the collection's title story, the stories in My Father, Dancing chronicle the never-ending dance between fathers and their daughters, and the many awakenings of girls and women.

Bernays, who, beginning in the 1920s, was one of the first and most successful practioners of the art of public relations.

Download or read book Life As a Dance written by Rick McManus and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Life as a Dance" is the way I have seen my journey on earth. Through dancing I found the person I wanted to be-someone who was confident in his abilities and place in the world-and I was able to leave a restrictive self-image behind. I believe that everyone must develop unique talents and must step into the bright lights that are waiting to shine on all corners of life's stage and to illuminate each individual with a more ideal sense of who he or she is. By expressing one's talents, no one can fail to gain freedom from self-imposed limitations. My life has been one long adventure as a soldier, diplomatic courier, radio and newspaper reporter, businessman, and real estate investor. The career that gave me the most joy and fulfillment was my career as a parent. I still maintain a close relationship with my two sons. Throughout my life, there were partners I could dance with and partners I could not dance with. Sometimes the music was hard to follow, and I lost the beat. At other times, I heard the song clearly and, hopefully, was able to express some measure of harmony, rhythm, poise, and balance.
