Download or read book Life in Between Creating a Home Away From Home written by Anya Pallamreddy and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While essentially bringing light to the theme of migration, the book targets a more contemporary audience: today’s adolescents and young adults. Relocation, especially amongst this age group, can be a big change, affecting both one’s mental and physical health. The book aims to offer support in terms of finding a sense of belonging, making friends and dealing with homesickness in a new environment amongst many more issues that migrant children seem to grapple with. Through interactions with candidates from all over the world, it can evidently be concluded that most migratory experiences are made better with some guidance and the knowledge that all struggles during this time are completely normal, justified and understandable. The book includes a few real-life stories from migrant teenagers who have moved and their advice and coping mechanisms to deal with moving away that is, often accompanied by several heartrending goodbyes and, most importantly, a loss of comfort. The book is, in its own special way, a little like a “How to”, aiming to offer some sort of support and reassurance that things in life fall into place eventually. Written in a very conversational tone by someone who has observed migratory experiences first-hand, the book hopes to spark discussion about the possibility of a creation of a new life away from home, whilst also acknowledging all the difficulty that comes with relocation.

Download or read book Homes Away from Home written by Sarah Wobick-Segev and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Jews go from lives organized by synagogues, shul, and mikvehs to lives that—if explicitly Jewish at all—were conducted in Hillel houses, JCCs, Katz's, and even Chabad? In pre-emancipation Europe, most Jews followed Jewish law most of the time, but by the turn of the twentieth century, a new secular Jewish identity had begun to take shape. Homes Away From Home tells the story of Ashkenazi Jews as they made their way in European society in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing on the Jewish communities of Paris, Berlin, and St. Petersburg. At a time of growing political enfranchisement for Jews within European nations, membership in the official Jewish community became increasingly optional, and Jews in turn created spaces and programs to meet new social needs. The contexts of Jewish life expanded beyond the confines of "traditional" Jewish spaces into sites of consumption and leisure, sometimes to the consternation of Jewish authorities. Sarah Wobick-Segev argues that the social practices that developed between 1890 and the 1930s—such as celebrating holydays at hotels and restaurants, or sending children to summer camp—fundamentally reshaped Jewish community, redefining and extending the boundaries of where Jewishness happened.

Download or read book Home Away written by Launa Schweizer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-04-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tale of misapprehensions, transformations and rose at lunch as one American couple quits their perfectly good jobs, packs up their house in Brooklyn and moves their family to rural France for a year. In their fantasy, bons mots would drip from every quaintly churlish local character, and their two non-French speaking daughters would soon make adorable Gallic best friends at the village school. Their clunky little American family would be magically transformed into graceful, fluent French people the moment they all donned berets. Yet despite the beauty of the landscape and the warmth of the air, things were not as the family had dreamed they would be. Nobody wore a beret, ever, and life with children in a foreign land proved more challenging than anyone had imagined. The book details the many delights of life in France, but also celebrates the all-too-human mistakes the family made as they bumbled towards magic during one year of their lives. In time, the family falls into the rhythm of daily life, rediscovering the only home that matters: the home they have in one another.
Download or read book Home and Away written by Nancy French and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David French, potential independent candidate for the 2016 presidential election, and his wife Nancy deliver a powerful story of what happens when a person--or rather, a family--answers the call to serve their nation. David French picked up the newspaper in the comfort of his penthouse in Philadelphia, and read about a soldier - father of two - who was wounded in Iraq. Immediately, he was stricken with a question: Why him and not me? David was a 37-year-old father of two, a Harvard Law graduate and president of a free speech organization. In other words, he was used to pushing pencils, not toting M16s. His wife Nancy was raising two children and writing from home. She was worrying about field trips and playdates, not about her husband going to war. HOME AND AWAY chronicles not just a soldier at war, but a family at war - a husband in Iraq, a wife and children at home, greeting each day with hope and fear, facing the challenge with determination, tears, and more than a little joy.

She didn't think this was strange until Scotland Yard showed up, and she discovered her father was a fugitive and their family name was an alias. In 1983, the year she was born, her parents went on the run with three young children, traveling across Europe, their expenses paid for with drug money. It was over the summers spent visiting her dad in prison in California that he told her the truth: he had been a pot smuggler in the seventies, and his organization had bought in marijuana worth nearly a half billion dollars from Thailand. Here Wetherall pieces together the story of her parents' past, which ultimately helps her understand her own. -- adapted from publisher info.

Book excerpt: The deeply reported story of identical twin brothers who escape El Salvador's violence to build new lives in California—fighting to survive, to stay, and to belong. Growing up in rural El Salvador in the wake of the civil war, the United States was a distant fantasy to identical twins Ernesto and Raul Flores—until, at age seventeen, a deadly threat from the region’s brutal gangs forces them to flee the only home they’ve ever known. In this urgent chronicle of contemporary immigration, journalist Lauren Markham follows the Flores twins as they make their way across the Rio Grande and the Texas desert, into the hands of immigration authorities, and from there to their estranged older brother in Oakland, CA. Soon these unaccompanied minors are navigating school in a new language, working to pay down their mounting coyote debt, and facing their day in immigration court, while also encountering the triumphs and pitfalls of teenage life with only each other for support. With intimate access and breathtaking range, Markham offers an unforgettable testament to the migrant experience.

Download or read book In Between God written by Stephen Pickard and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2011-12-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In-Between God explores three important areas for contemporary Christianity: theology, community and discipleship. Part One inquires into the rhythms of faith as it interacts with themes of uncertainty and doubt, the nature of theological discourse, the task of systematic theology, evangelism and the various ways in which theology is done. Part Two discusses the importance of place in relation to the church, and themes of innovation, undecideability and new forms of monastic community. Part Three addresses themes in discipleship: simplicity, mysticism, the passions and pilgrimage. A red thread connecting these essays is the character of the triune God who is the energy and life in between all things.
