Claire Wilkins is at her wits’ end with her son, Brandon, a college dropout who spends his time lounging around the house. Claire, tired of seeing him waste his life playing video games and trolling the internet, gives him an ultimatum: get a job, get back to school…or get out. Brandon decides to move in with a total stranger that he met in an online porn chat room. This mysterious young woman, Ava, abruptly leads him down a dark path into a dangerous world. Terrified for her now distant son, Claire tries to entice Brandon to return home and discovers the true nature of his toxic and abusive relationship with Ava. But her world explodes when Brandon does the unthinkable. Her only glimmer of hope is discovering that Brandon and Ava are expecting a child. Claire believes she coddled Brandon too much and that she was a terrible mother. But maybe she can get a second chance and be a much better grandparent. Unfortunately, Ava’s plan for hers and Brandon’s child does not include Claire. In fact, Ava’s plan is so nefarious that Claire is willing to risk everything, including her life, to save her innocent grandson. A spellbinding race against time, The Child Snatcher is a timely and terrifying thrill ride that will haunt you long after you’ve turned the final page.

Download or read book Opening The Door written by Petrusia (Pat) Michie and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abuse always gets worse . . . no matter how many times the abuser says he’ll change. Pat Michie has experienced all types of abuse, from physical to mental, sexual, and financial, while growing up, married, and, again, in two romantic relationships. From her abusers, she has lived a life of fear, a fear that changed who she was and a fear that forced her to make some decisions she regrets today. In Opening the Door, Pat shares her story of abuse to not only help her heal, but also in hope of helping others in abusive relationships and showing that the cycle of abuse can be broken. By revealing her truth, she hopes people will understand the different forms of abuse, how abuse can affect a victim, and what you can do, today, to overcome it. When she finally left her husband in 1987, after twenty-five years of severe abuse, some members of her family and community rejected her, not knowing what went on behind closed doors. Pat finally wants to open her door—and let people know the real her. “I am stronger because of my weaknesses, alive because I am a fighter, compassionate because I suffered, and wise because I was foolish. I laugh because I cried and love because I’ve known loss. I have weathered many storms and can now dance in the rain.”

Download or read book Mother Outlaws written by Andrea O'Reilly and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2004-05-13 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist scholars of motherhood distinguish between mothering and motherhood, and argue that the latter is a patriarchal institution that is oppressive to women. Few scholars, however, have considered how mothering, as a female defined and centred experience, may be a site of empowerment for women. This collection is the first to do so. Mother Outlaws examines how mothers imagine and implement theories and practices of mothering that are empowering to women. Central to this inquiry is the recognition that mothers and children benefit when the mother lives her life, and practices mothering, from a position of agency, authority, authenticity and autonomy.

This assemblage of analytical, narrative and creative renderings offers cross-disciplinary conceptualizations of maternal experiences across difference and mothering sons at intersections. The authors’ mother knowledge, or that of their subjects, delivers new insights into the appellations mother, son, motherhood and sonhood.
