Download or read book My Diary Unlocked written by and published by My Dairy Unlocked Press. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Diary Unlocked is a diary based self-help book for teen girls, their mothers and all women who carry unhealed wounds from their inner adolescent into adulthood. Through raw and real diary entries woven together with guidance and wisdom to emerge triumphant above the struggles, the book imparts the value and power of sharing your personal inner truth as it provides tools to raise self esteem and empower girls and women to live authentic lives. It presents a rarely seen, deeply intimate glimpse into the inner world of teenage girls, shedding light on concerns haunting parents and children alike. Unlike most books aimed at helping teens and women survive and ultimately thrive during this tumultuous time, My Diary Unlocked provides a direct window into the hearts and souls of teenage girls who never considered they would someday decide to share their privately written words. Their thoughts and feelings strike a chord in anyone searching for meaning and identity, for they resonate with an inner vibration of truth and send a message that you are not alone. This book brings to life the gut-wrenching, serious, funny, heartbreaking, heartwarming and liberating experiences typical during the adolescent years. This range of emotions is also felt by boys, and although they do not journal as much, they and their parents can learn, grow and reap the benefits of this book as well. Each chapter explores one of the many issues that have occupied the minds and hearts of teenage girls for decades, if not centuries: body image, eating disorders, family, relationships, romance, sexuality, pregnancy, self-esteem, bullying, addictions, coping with loss, change and even death. Then, in an effort to light a path through the struggles, diary entries are followed with insights, inspiration and practical action steps contributed by some of today's leading authorities on human potential, parenting and teen issues. Reflections shared by the diarists themselves reveal the resilience of the human spirit as they offer inspiration and encouragement to those walking a similar path. Action steps are shared to rekindle the feminine qualities of compassion, empathy and understand for all of humanity.

Download or read book Diaries of Girls and Women written by Suzanne L. Bunkers and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2001-05-30 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diaries of Girls and Women captures and preserves the diverse lives of forty-seven girls and women who lived in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin between 1837 and 1999—young schoolgirls, adolescents coming of age, newlywed wives, mothers grieving the loss of children, teachers, nurses, elderly women, Luxembourger immigrant nuns, and women traveling abroad. A compelling work of living history, it brings together both diaries from historical society archives and diaries still in possession of the diarists or their descendents. Editor Suzanne L. Bunkers has selected these excerpts from more than 450 diaries she examined. Some diaries were kept only briefly, others through an entire lifetime; some diaries are the intensely private record of a life, others tell the story of an entire family and were meant to be saved and appreciated by future generations. By approaching diaries as historical documents, therapeutic tools, and a form of literature, Bunkers offers readers insight into the self-images of girls and women, the dynamics of families and communities, and the kinds of contributions that girls and women have made, past and present. As a representation of the girls and women of varied historical eras, locales, races, and economic circumstances who settled and populated the Midwest, Diaries of Girls and Women adds texture and pattern to the fabric of American history.

Book excerpt: From the snake in the garden to that devil on your shoulder, Malice is very much alive. This anthology explores the evil behind the branded "Bad Seeds" of society, and the misunderstood wretches amongst us harboring that not-so-nice streak. Malice, however doesn't always present itself on the stage of a deranged mind-sometimes it plays out very differently, birthing Anti-Heroes with a thirst for justifiable villainy. This horror anthology, revolves mostly around YA characters, allowing readers a glimpse into the way in which evil can infect even the youngest of minds, malevolence injected into already tarnished souls...all riding the rails to the same final destination. Many fatalities arise from these twisted tales. Let's get started.
Download or read book Destiny and Decision written by Fred R. Zimmerman and published by Hamilton Books. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this autobiography of a Christian minister, Fred R. Zimmerman tells the story of his life on the stage of world events that affected him either directly or indirectly. Born to be a minister, he first became aware of his calling early on in his boyhood. Orphaned at eighteen months during the flu pandemic of 1918–19, he was fortunate enough to be adopted by a childless couple. In their capacity as committed church-going Christians, he was wisely nurtured in his mission to become a minister. During his college and seminary years, crises accompanying this destiny began to arise. As his ministry developed through the years, destiny and decision became the yoke (Matthew 11:27–30) under which he exercised the burden of being a pastor. This is therefore a story not primarily of a person but of a God-appointed ministry.
Download or read book The Anniversary written by Stephanie Bishop and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Lisa Halliday and Susan Choi, The Anniversary is a simmering page-turner about an ascendant writer, the unresolved death of her husband, and what it takes to emerge on her own Novelist J.B. Blackwood is on a cruise with her husband, Patrick, to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Her former professor, film director, and cult figure, Patrick is much older than J.B.. When they met, he seemed somehow ageless, as all gods appear in the eyes of those who worship them. But now his success is starting to wane and J.B. is on the cusp of winning a major literary prize. Her art has been forever overseen by him, now it may overshadow his. For days they sail in the sun, nothing but dark water all around them. Then a storm hits and Patrick falls from the ship. J.B. is left alone, as the search for what happened to Patrick – and the truth about their marriage – begins. Propulsive and fiercely intelligent, The Anniversary is exquisitely written with a swift and addictive plot. It’s a novel that asks: how legible, in the mind of the writer, is the line between reality and plot? How do we refuse the people we desire? And what is the cost, to ourselves, to others and to our art, if we don’t?

Download or read book The Power of Witnessing written by Nancy R. Goodman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witnessing comes in as many forms as the trauma that gives birth to it. The Holocaust, undeniably one of the greatest traumatic events in recent human history, still resonates into the twenty-first century. The echoes that haunt those who survived continue to reach their children and others who did not share the experience directly. In what ways is this massive trauma processed and understood, both for survivors and future generations? The answer, as deftly illustrated by Nancy Goodman and Marilyn Meyers, lies in the power of witnessing: the act of acknowledging that trauma took place, coupled with the desire to share that knowledge with others to build a space in which to reveal, confront, and symbolize it. As the contributors to this book demonstrate, testimonial writing and memoir, artwork, poetry, documentary, theater, and even the simple recollection of a memory are ways that honor and serve as forms of witnessing. Each chapter is a fusion of narrative and metaphor that exists as evidence of the living mind that emerges amid the dead spaces produced by mass trauma, creating a revelatory, transformational space for the terror of knowing and the possibility for affirmation of hope, courage, and endurance in the face of almost unspeakable evil. Additionally, the power of witnessing is extended from the Holocaust to contemporary instances of mass trauma and to psychoanalytic treatments, proving its efficacy in the dyadic relationship of everyday practice for both patient and analyst. The Holocaust is not an easy subject to approach, but the intimate and personal stories included here add up to an act of witnessing in and of itself, combining the past and the present and placing the trauma in the realm of knowing, sharing, and understanding.

Book excerpt: A Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by Good Morning America, W, Nylon, SheReads, and LitHub “We count on our best young fiction writers to bring us news from the digital nervous system. Honor Levy . . . does so with special bite and élan.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times From groundbreaking debut author Honor Levy, stories to delight and ensnare Walking the wire between imagination and confession, My First Book marks the arrival of an electric new talent. Honor Levy’s uniquely riveting voice emerges from the chaos of coming of age in Generation Z. Never far from a digital interface, her characters grapple with formative political, existential, and romantic experiences in a web-drenched society on the brink of collapse. Inventive, ambitious, and frequently surreal, the stories of My First Book are a mirrorball onto the world as it is. Levy illuminates what it is to be at once adorable, special, heavily medicated, consistently panicked, and completely sincere. One protagonist accompanies a girl with too many teeth through an abortion, while another discovers the infinite nature of love, a third reminisces about other sunsets that were “pinker, like way pinker,” and another encounters God in a downtown arcade. To find and keep faith is the order of the day—but how?
