Download or read book Maggie s Breakfast written by Gabriel Walsh and published by Poolbeg Press Ltd. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The son of dysfunctional and destitute parents secures employment as a member of the morning breakfast staff in Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel. The job affords the boy a respite from his father’s profound apathy and his mother’s obsession with religion. His father Paddy, an ex-British army soldier, considers his marriage to Molly to be a greater threat to his existence than his life and death struggles in the trenches during the Great War. Molly considers her life with the unemployed Paddy and ten children a crucifixion that will ensure her a place in Heaven among her favourite martyrs. In the Shelbourne, the boy encounters Margaret Burke Sheridan, a retired opera diva who in her prime sang at La Scala and Covent Garden. She was Puccini’s favourite Madame Butterfly and a protégé of Marconi, the inventor of the radio. In her present sad and lonely retirement Maggie is considered just a thorn in the side of the hotel staff. But one morning, when the new breakfast boy attempts to serve her breakfast (under the bed), Maggie has an attitude change. She senses she has one last aria to sing in the opera of her life. One that will change the boy’s life forever.

Book excerpt: With over 200 delicious recipes and the latest scientific research, bestselling author Maggie Beer and leading Alzheimer’s researcher Professor Ralph Martins show us how to eat and live well to promote optimum brain health to help fight one of the most debilitating diseases of our later years. This second edition contains a new introduction and 13 recipes from the ABC TV series Maggie Beer’s Big Mission. This book is so important to me. To have a healthy old age you must act now, whether you are 30 or 50. I have two great passions – sharing my love of cooking delicious, simple food and improving the health and nutrition of older people. I hope this cookbook does both but it’s not for ‘old’ people, it’s for you. I have been delighted to work with leading Alzheimer’s researcher Professor Ralph Martins in recent years and I have learned that if we are to avoid Alzheimer’s and other lifestyle diseases it is what we eat today that matters. These are my recipes for every day, for everybody, full of deep flavours and beautiful ingredients that will nourish you and your family. Nobody wants to eat worthy food that tastes like cardboard. For me, food without flavour is unthinkable! And so is the notion of restricting whole food groups. My recipe for life is to have a healthy attitude to eating – it’s all about balance, variety and choosing foods that give you the best chance of being in good health now and into your future. This is not a diet book – it’s a way of life. This new edition includes recipes from my ABC TV show Maggie Beer’s Big Mission. ~ Maggie Beer Maggie Beer and Professor Ralph Martins have teamed up to fight one of the most debilitating diseases of our later years. Based on the latest scientific research, Maggie has created more than 200 recipes that help provide the nutrients we need for optimum brain health. More than one million Australians are affected every day by Alzheimer’s, directly or indirectly, but the good news is that you can eat well to age well, from this moment on. The proceeds from Maggie’s Recipe for Life are shared between the Maggie Beer Foundation and the Lions Alzheimer’s Foundation.

Download or read book Maggie s Forty Acres written by Gregory N Richardson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dying Maggie fills the last days of her life by telling her life story to her sister and care giver Alice. Both women lived most of their lives as single women in the young American West. The adventure for both began in 1883 when their family moved from the home of generations of their family in Sackville, NB, Canada to the raw West outside Custer, South Dakota Territory. This dramatically altered life opportunities for both women. From a one room school in Custer, Maggie blossomed into the best educated of her family. Her older brothers, cowboys in the raw land north of the Missouri, believed in her so much they paid her tuition at Hastings College, Nebraska. South Dakota then paid for her next three years of college at Spearfish Normal College. After five years of teaching in Custer, Maggie returned to college in Chicago to study not the facts to be taught but the most effective means to teach the young. She emerged an Educational Specialist working for struggling new schools in the West.
Download or read book The Long Dying written by Carol McEachen and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-09-21 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy-seven-year Maggie Campbell is stricken with dementia. This is the story of how her proud, independent way of life is inexorably eroded until she finally finds herself completely dependent on others. It is also the story of how her two sons: Scott and Ian suddenly have to shoulder the burden of their mothers care, while at the same time dealing with their own shock and grief. When Maggie is moved to Scotts home in Fredericton, Beth, his wife, becomes her mother-in-laws caretaker. Because of Maggies inability to accept needed help and Beths rigidity, the situation gradually becomes untenable, and Maggie is placed into three, separate institutions, resulting in more pain and confusion. The story is complicated by the fact that Ian, Maggies younger son, although very devoted to his mother, is not close to either Scott or Beth. Although, this is a sad, sometimes heart-breaking story, it is often lightened with humour and glimpses into Maggies rich past as a Saskatchewan woman coming of age during the forties and fifties.

Download or read book Little Maggie written by Jack Oliveira and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Baby Maggie was stolen – straight out of the cradle’ This was not a crime – not in any legal way. Maggie was the fourth child born to Marlies and Josito Otero - in the span of four years and four months. Incredible? But true. One plus years later, Fabiola was born – forcing Baby Maggie out of her crib, to make way. Family friend Lucinda, found it too harsh on Baby Maggie, and too difficult for Marlies to handle – caring for five children, all under five. Lucinda offered to care for Little Maggie – for just ‘a short while’, until Marlies got back on her feet. So, it was agreed upon and the deed was done. ‘A Short While’ turned into seven years. Maggie now had a whole new family - who were complete strangers to her. It was a turbulent transition - going from a place where she was 'special' to the Otero household - where it was a free-for-all, survival of the fittest, chaotic, loud, and sometimes downright frightening to Maggie, like walking through the very pit of hell. Her only hope was to hang onto the life she knew before. Based on a true story.
