Download or read book Remembering the Samsui Women written by Kelvin E. Y. Low and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering the Samsui Women tells the story of women from the Samsui area of Guangdong, China, who migrated to Singapore during a period of economic and natural calamity, leaving their families behind. In their new country, many found work in the construction industry, while others worked in households or factories where they were called hong tou jin, translated literally as "red-head-scarf," after the headgear that protected them from the sun. Contributing to current debates in the fields of social memory and migration studies, this is the first book to examine how the Samsui women remember their own migratory experiences and how they, in turn, are remembered as pioneering figures in both Singapore and China.

Daughter of Major Derek Hargreaves (spy?) and June Hargreaves (spy's wife?) sister of Sara (born to be Head Girl) and Ben (the usurper), Jenny's comedy career took off via drama school, cider, sausage rolls, sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything.

Download or read book 3610 The Occurrences written by Ronald E. Tyler and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3610: The Occurrences is a collection of strange yet memorable events that I experienced as a young child. I thought the events that happened during that tender period were odd at the time. But, after a bit of maturity and some relatively deep reflection, I believe that my family and I became unwilling participants in something that appeared to be mysteriously unreal and unbelievable. These events will be dismissed by some as bizarre, unbelievable, and the product of a young child's wild imagination. To others, the events will be intriguing and fascinating. And, for a few, these recollections will spark deep and emotionally disturbing personal experiences. When something is inexplicable, it naturally gets categorized as the "boogeyman"; when science falls short of a reasonable explanation, it becomes a "phenomenon"; but only when reason doesn't stand a chance, your heart opens, and then it becomes "fact." As a little boy, I personally experienced the events that are chronicled in my memoir 3610: The Occurrences. 3610 represents the address where these unusual and odd events took place. I often found it difficult to speak about this off-the-beaten-path subject. However, I am passionate about telling my story regardless of ridicule or negative labels. These are my stories, and they are real. Enjoy and ponder the possibilities of life and the immense potential of reality.

Slater "Savage" Harlow Winning the MVP award for the Birmingham Bandits last year was the highlight of my baseball career.

Now I'm home, in small town Georgia, rehabbing in the comfort of my own home, with people I know. I'm connecting with friends I haven't had time to talk to in years, spending days at home with my parents, and getting to watch my little brother play minor league baseball.Ê What I don't expect is to see Malone Fulcher walking into Del's Diner one morning while having my coffee and egg whites.

Memories are all over this small town, from the Baptist Church to the east field on my parents farm, to the diner. On my second day in town, I decide to go in, memories be damned. I lost my breath as soon as I saw "Savage" Harlow sitting alone at a booth. Our eyes lock, my heart flutters, and my hands shake - all the same way they did back in high school. But back then we couldn't make it work. Going our separate ways to differing colleges, we decided we weren't meant to be. A decade later, as soon as our eyes meet, I'm wondering if we were right, because those green eyes of his do nothing but take me to a past that I can see being my future.Ê Author's Note: This does end in somewhat of a cliffhanger!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty Tiny Tales is a collection of twenty-two moralistic, humorous and heart-warming short stories.

Twenty Tiny Tales will appeal to dog lovers, and readers who enjoy emotional, moving reads with the power to transport you to an array of settings and characters. The stories feature captivating plots, alluring depictions of the characters involved and most have a unique, shocking twist.
Download or read book A Dubya in the Headlights written by Joseph Hayden and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dubya in the Headlights trains a critical eye on the curious interaction between America's forty-third president and the people who write about him, talk about him, photograph him, and draw him. Joseph R. Hayden details a rough, often tense, relationship between President George W. Bush and media outlets from CBS to the New York Times to The Tonight Show. He also challenges what until recently was the conventional wisdom about Bush's public relations-the notion that the White House was a masterful manipulator of the media, a Machiavellian puppet master. According to Hayden, those types of characterizations are not just overly generous; they are distortions and a cop-out for the press. Focusing in particular on the period since Hurricane Katrina, this lively and timely volume details the pattern of mistakes made by the Bush administration in carrying out its communication strategy and offers a clear portrait of a president stumbling from one crisis to another.
