Download or read book When Love Abides Broken written by Aidan Brezovar and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following his 81year old mother’s stroke, Aidan Brezovar leaves Skyline in the Midwest after thirty years of Catholic ordained ministry there. With the health scare catapulting his mother into a total life review, Aidan’s move to the Lavaro ranch comes at a critical time. Petite, with dark silver hair, a happy, open face, a ready smile, and an Irish sparkle in her eyes, Zoe Lavaro is much more than the “cute little lady” she is thought to be by most people who meet her. She is a shrewd observer of human behavior with a born survivor’s critical eye, hunger for security, and willingness to risk whatever it takes to get her needs met. Brezovar’s mission is to care for his mother at their mountain ranch, but he must also contend with his stepfather, who invited him to come but wrangles with Aidan about virtually everything after he arrives. The consequences of Aidan’s move touch every member of the family. This book is about a family’s struggle to adjust to change, the hidden fault lines that can ruin relationships, and the uncovering of love’s true tensile strength when stressed by emotional deprivation, abuse, jealousy, and betrayal. Brezovar also examines the searing pain brought about by divorce and remarriage. When the dust finally settles, families are transformed.

Eleanor knows she's a mess. But today, she will tackle the little things. She will shower and get dressed. She will have her poetry and yoga lessons after dropping off her son, Timby. She won't swear. She will initiate sex with her husband, Joe. But before she can put her modest plan into action, life happens. Today, it turns out, is the day Timby has decided to fake sick to weasel his way into his mother's company. It's also the day Joe has chosen to tell his office -- but not Eleanor -- that he's on vacation. Just when it seems like things can't go more awry, an encounter with a former colleague produces a graphic memoir whose dramatic tale threatens to reveal a buried family secret.

Download or read book Love at First Bark written by Julie Klam and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Look out for Julie's new book, The Almost Legendary Morris Sisters. The bestselling memoirist shows how saving a dog can sometimes help you save yourself. Julie Klam writes about dogs with a rollicking wit and a radiating warmth-as no other writer can. In her bestselling memoir You Had Me at Woof, she shared the secrets of happiness she learned as an occasionally frazzled but always devoted owner of Boston terriers. Now, with the same enchanting, pop culture-infused amalgam of humor and poignancy that reached the The New York Times and the Today show and won the hearts of readers across the country, she returns with more humorous insight into life with canine companions. Klam focuses here on dog rescue, and its healing power not only for the dogs who are cared for and able to find good homes, but also for the people who bond with these animals. Klam became involved with rescue after years as an owner of purebred dogs. She was looking for a way to help and participate in a community, but she never imagined just how much she would receive in return. The dogs she has rescued through the years have filled her life with laughter and contentment, sorrow and frustration, and they have made certain that she never has a dull moment. Along the way, she has collected stories from friends who have also found that guiding dogs to nurturing homes made their own lives richer. These experiences, which show us that even in our smallest gestures we can make a big difference, inspired Love at First Bark.

Download or read book For the Love of Jack written by Susan Sanders and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Love of Jack How to Love a Jack Russell After the writer and her husband lost both of their dogs within a year of each other they were both hesitant to bring another one into their home. The heartache of saying goodbye was just too much pain, especially for Jim. For everyone who’s shared their home with a dog knows the compassion and endearment we feel for them and the loss of them can seem unbearable. While taking a month off from work and responsibilities the couple traveled to Europe with two close friends to engulf themselves in an adventurous journey to celebrate life. While on a wonderful trek of exploring and remembrances, the author realizes her life is not complete without a dog by her side. The overseas vacation brought past images back to her and it was then she knew she had to bring her husband on board with her insatiable need for sharing their home once again with a canine companion. After falling in love with the many Jack Russells they were witness to, and some they personally encountered, the author made up her mind this was to be the breed they would seek out and welcome into their home. Sharing their life with two dogs at a time had always worked well, so the decision was made to do the same again. The excitement and newness of a Jack Russell was one neither was prepared for. All the previous dogs they had shared their life with were relatively mild and endearingly, lazy. The journey of bringing two nine week old Jack Russell puppies home and the adventures the owners would encounter were lessons in patience and captivating endearment. The transformation of sentiment from raucous puppyhood to revering adult has made it all worthwhile. This has been a never ending lesson in love.

Download or read book We Carry Our Homes with Us written by Marisella Veiga and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 30, 1960, Marisella Veiga with her mother and two brothers boarded a plane from Havana to Miami. Her father fled a few months later, joining his family with a total of fourteen U.S. cents in his pocket and an understanding that he would never see his homeland again. Seeking a less competitive job market and thanks largely to the sponsorship of a host family in St. Paul, the Veigas resettled in Minnesota, miles away from the Caribbean subtropics, where the climate was similar to home, Spanish was spoken, and thousands of exiles arrived each month. Veiga’s stories are rich with detail and character as she describes her integration into a northern midwestern landscape she grew to love, from adapting to the cold—learning to ice-skate before learning to speak English—to her obsession with Davy Jones. Yet, the weight of her biculturalism—being of two worlds but an outsider to both—has been central to her quest for identity: “Sometimes, I dream that if I can get in touch with the essence of that monolingual child with one set of customs, I would be satisfied. I would be complete, whole.” In this honest memoir, readers will find a resonant story of an exile’s journey, one that ultimately embraces those two worlds: a life of conflict and limbo but also one of richness and understanding.
