Book excerpt: As long as LonelyDaddy is on the other side of the computer screen, there's a chance he could be the man Emerson has been dreaming of. I've gotten used to being alone, to disappearing inside the fictional worlds between the pages of a book and letting my lonely life fade away. Books have never judged me for the stutter I can't control. Books have never abandoned me. Books have never let me down. Then again, books have never hugged me or told me they loved me either, so my plan is far from perfect. The first time I lay eyes on the tall, red-haired Kiernan with a beard for days and shoulders made for scratch marks, I wanted to crawl onto his lap and call him Daddy. The only problem is, I can never seem to string two words together around him... Heck, I'd be happy to manage to get even one word out, like maybe "yes," preferably over and over again. I thought making an online dating profile would be the hardest part, but it turns out getting up the courage to meet the man I've been messaging is even more difficult. Could LonelyDaddy be Kiernan? And if he is, is there any chance he'll want to keep me? Can I be his brave boy? ***Brave Boy is the online love-sweet, ginger Daddy-totally swoony-second book in the Perfect Boys series and can be read as a stand-alone.

Download or read book Teaching Writing through the Immigrant Story written by Heather Ostman and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Writing through the Immigrant Story explores the intersection between immigration and pedagogy via the narrative form. Embedded in the contexts of both student writing and student reading of literature chapters by scholars from four-year and two-year colleges and universities across the country, this book engages the topic of immigration within writing and literature courses as the site for extending, critiquing, and challenging assumptions about justice and equity while deepening students’ sense of ethics and humanity. Each of the chapters recognizes the prevalence of immigrant students in writing classrooms across the United States—including foreign-born, first- and second-generation Americans, and more—and the myriad opportunities and challenges those students present to their instructors. These contributors have seen the validity in the stories and experiences these students bring to the classroom—evidence of their lifetimes of complex learning in both academic and nonacademic settings. Like thousands of college-level instructors in the United States, they have immigrant stories of their own. The immigrant “narrative” offers a unique framework for knowledge production in which students and teachers may learn from each other, in which the ordinary power dynamic of teacher and students begins to shift, to enable empathy to emerge and to provide space for an authentic kind of pedagogy. By engaging writing and literature teachers within and outside the classroom, Teaching Writing through the Immigrant Story speaks to the immigrant narrative as a viable frame for teaching writing—an opportunity for building and articulating knowledge through academic discourse. The book creates a platform for immigration as a writing and literary theme, a framework for critical thinking, and a foundation for significant social change and advocacy.

Download or read book Writing Childbirth written by Kim Hensley Owens and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women seeking to express concerns about childbirth or to challenge institutionalized medicine by writing online birth plans or birth stories exercise rhetorical agency in undeniably feminist ways. In Writing Childbirth: Women’s Rhetorical Agency in Labor and Online, author Kim Hensley Owens explores how women create and use everyday rhetorics in planning for, experiencing, and writing about childbirth. Drawing on medical texts, popular advice books, and online birth plans and birth stories, as well as the results of a childbirth writing survey, Owens considers how women’s agency in childbirth is sanctioned, and how it is not. She examines how women’s rhetorical choices in writing interact with institutionalized medicine and societal norms. Writing Childbirth reveals the contradictory messages women receive about childbirth, their conflicting expectations about it, and how writing and technology contribute to and reconcile these messages and expectations. Demonstrating the value of extending rhetorical investigations of health and medicine beyond patient-physician interactions and the discourse of physicians, Writing Childbirth offers fresh insight into feminist rhetorical agency and technology and expands our understanding of the rhetorics of health and medicine.
