Download or read book One Writer s Beginnings written by Eudora Welty and published by Scribner. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring a new introduction, this updated edition of the New York Times bestselling classic by Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award–winning author and one of the most revered figures in American letters is “profound and priceless as guidance for anyone who aspires to write” (Los Angeles Times). Born in 1909 in Jackson, Mississippi, Eudora Welty shares details of her upbringing that show us how her family and her surroundings contributed to the shaping not only of her personality but of her writing as well. Everyday sights, sounds, and objects resonate with the emotions of recollection: the striking clocks, the Victrola, her orphaned father’s coverless little book saved since boyhood, the tall mountains of the West Virginia back country that became a metaphor for her mother’s sturdy independence, Eudora’s earliest box camera that suspended a moment forever and taught her that every feeling awaits a gesture. In her vivid descriptions of growing up in the South—of the interplay between black and white, between town and countryside, between dedicated schoolteachers and the children they taught—she recreates the vanished world of her youth with the same subtlety and insight that mark her fiction, capturing “the mysterious transfiguring gift by which dream, memory, and experience become art” (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Part memoir, part exploration of the seeds of creativity, this unique distillation of a writer’s beginnings offers a rare glimpse into the Mississippi childhood that made Eudora Welty the acclaimed and important writer she would become.

Book excerpt: A raw and powerful memoir of Jaycee Lee Dugard's own story of being kidnapped as an 11-year-old and held captive for over 18 years On 10 June 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Dugard was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in Tahoe, California. It was the last her family and friends saw of her for over eighteen years. On 26 August 2009, Dugard, her daughters, and Phillip Craig Garrido appeared in the office of her kidnapper's parole officer in California. Their unusual behaviour sparked an investigation that led to the positive identification of Jaycee Lee Dugard, living in a tent behind Garrido's home. During her time in captivity, at the age of fourteen and seventeen, she gave birth to two daughters, both fathered by Garrido. Dugard's memoir is written by the 30-year-old herself and covers the period from the time of her abduction in 1991 up until the present. In her stark, utterly honest and unflinching narrative, Jaycee opens up about what she experienced, including how she feels now, a year after being found. Garrido and his wife Nancy have since pleaded guilty to their crimes.

A difficult divorce, the demands of single motherhood, and a challenging career at a prestigious San Francisco hotel have taken a toll on her once fit body. But when her employer asks her to travel to Kauai on a special assignment, she seizes the opportunity, thinking it will be the ideal place to lose weight, tone her body, and maybe-just maybe-find the man of her dreams. Free-spirited Kent loves to tend to his Kauai garden-naked-after an exhausting day of surfing. When the writer and part-time driver picks Julie up from the Kauai Airport, she cannot help but notice his bronzed body and air of self-confidence. But just as her island adventure takes off and the physical chemistry with Kent builds to a frenzy, she discovers he is not who he seems. Now she has to decide if the relationship is worth a confirmation, and if not, whether she can afford to lose him forever. In this contemporary romance tale, a woman takes a journey of transformation and seduction in a tropical paradise where she is about to learn that perfection is not nearly as important as taking control of her own destiny.
