Download or read book Eunice written by Eileen McNamara and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “revelation” of a biography (USA TODAY), a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist examines the life and times of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, arguing she left behind the Kennedy family’s most profound political legacy. While Joe Kennedy was grooming his sons for the White House and the Senate, his Stanford-educated daughter, Eunice, was hijacking her father’s fortune and her brothers’ political power to engineer one of the great civil rights movements of our time on behalf of millions of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Her compassion was born of rage: at the medical establishment that had no answers for her sister Rosemary, at her revered but dismissive father, whose vision for his family did not extend beyond his sons, and at a government that failed to deliver on America’s promise of equality. Now, in this “fascinating” (the Today show), “nuanced” (The Boston Globe) biography, “ace reporter and artful storyteller” (Pulitzer Prize–winning author Megan Marshall) Eileen McNamara finally brings Eunice Kennedy Shriver out from her brothers’ shadow. Granted access to never-before-seen private papers, including the scrapbooks Eunice kept as a schoolgirl in prewar London, McNamara paints an extraordinary portrait of a woman both ahead of her time and out of step with it: the visionary founder of Special Olympics, a devout Catholic in a secular age, and an officious, cigar-smoking, indefatigable woman whose impact on American society was longer lasting than that of any of the Kennedy men.

Download or read book The Elegant Woman written by Eunice Leong and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion may come and go, beauty may fade, but elegance is forever. In an attempt to feel more comfortable in a more elegant crowd, I endeavored to find ways to assimilate. I didn't think I could keep up by buying more Chanel bags, and thankfully I realized later that I didn't have to! Elegance is so much more than beautiful things. I wanted to be like Audrey Hepburn, but I wondered how to translate old school manners and classic dressing into this modern world. I didn't want to be like the woman who looked stuck in the 50s. This book was based on my journey about learning to be elegant without losing myself and becoming someone I'm not. I've since realized that there is more to being elegant than becoming the stereotypical 'elegant woman'. You can wear your own version of elegance, as long as principles of elegance remain. You don't even have to like pearls (though, they are very tasteful.) This book is written for all those who feel they need more ideas for a little more elegance, confidence and beauty. Most of all, I hope they find encouragement that they too can live a beautiful life regardless of budget or circumstance.

Download or read book More Christ More Me written by Eunice Lee and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes, the beliefs about God we take for granted need to be left behind. As a young adult, a conflict with her parents forced Eunice Lee to confront and choose between two incompatible beliefs. On the one hand, obedience to God had always been synonymous with obedience to her parents. But on the other, God’s authority was supreme, and now she felt God guiding her to act contrary to her parents’ wishes. This collision left Eunice confused, depressed, and questioning what she knew about God. She fell into toxic, exhausting cycles while serving in the church, unable to understand why doing everything “right” left her depleted and guilt-ridden. Where was the abundant life God had promised? Little did she know how much her paradigm for faithful Christian living came from influences inconsistent with the voice of God—even within the church! Slowly, eventually, God led Eunice toward a more robust theology. She deconstructed faulty old narratives and built new ones that propelled her toward a healthier self, more balanced relationships, and a freeing faith—one more closely aligned with God’s intentions. Eunice offers her story because she believes that God wants this for you too.
