Download or read book From Grandmother to Granddaughter written by Michael Gorkin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2000-03-17 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life histories and testimonies of nine Salvadoran women from different generations shape this intimate portrayal of contemporary El Salvador. The authors interviewed a grandmother, mother, and granddaughter from three Salvadoran families: La Familia Nuñez, members of the upper class; La Familia Rivas, from El Salvador's growing middle class; and La Familia García, from the campo, the Salvadoran peasantry. The voices we hear convey a deep sense of the world of Salvadoran women and how life is lived in that Central American country today. Each woman tells her own life story, and interspersed with recollections of childhood, marriage, and childrearing are revealing accounts of El Salvador's turbulent political past and present. Reflected in the stories are the vast changes in educational and occupational opportunities for women and the shifts in male-female relationships. Class differences are still a fundamental part of Salvadoran life, but changes are occurring in this area as well. From Grandmother to Granddaughter is a vivid and authentic portrait of today's El Salvador that convincingly illustrates how individual lives can reflect the larger changes within a society.

Download or read book My Precious Bobby written by Bad Bob and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: summary Gripping and emotional. That's exactly what you'll find as you read this book; every page will keep you wanting more. This is the kind of book you just can't put down, and I'm sure you're going to want to read it twice. This is a story of a sweet little boy who turned out to be a bad boy, although everyone knows right from wrong. I'm sure as you read through my book, you'll understand what went wrong. From the cover, you can see the sweet little kid that nobody ever looked out for. I can remember when I was about eight years old, walking around the neighborhood looking for a church to go to. It seems I was always alone and on my own, but that doesn't bother me anymore. Not having anyone to count on through the years has made me tough and hard. I guess you could even say hard-core through the years. I've had to learn everything on my own mostly out of necessity. If my car broke down, I fixed it. When the plumbing broke, I fixed it. In fact, there's really not much I can't do, even write a book. I got the idea to write my book from my picture on the cover of this book. I would sit and look at that picture, and the inscription on the bottom "My Precious Bobby," and I would think to myself, What a joke. Nobody ever treated me precious. Or how could so many crazy things happen to one person? So please sit back and enjoy.

This time, the recurring vision haunting her dreams contains two pairs of dark eyes watching her in the night, a phantom horse and rider, and the voice of a woman pleading for help.

When Gloria is asked to help the owners of the Oro Blanco winery in CaliforniaÍs Shenandoah Valley, she finds herself on the road to the legendary Gold Country. And she canÍt help but wonder if the ever-more persistent visions might foreshadow this new case that involves the theft of a family heirloom, a pair of antique diamond and emerald earrings rumored to have belonged to MexicoÍs Empress Carlota. Soon Gloria learns that thereÍs more to the case than stolen jewelry. Mysterious accidents, threatening anonymous notes, the disappearance of a woman believed to be a saint, and a ghost horse thought to have belonged to notorious bandit JoaquÕn Murrieta are some of the pieces Gloria struggles to fit together. A womanÍs gruesome murder and the discovery of a group of young women from Mexico being held against their will in an abandoned house send Gloria on a fateful journey to a WitchesÍ Sabbath to find the final pieces of the puzzle before someone else is killed. Corpi weaves the rich cultural history of CaliforniaÍs Gold Country with a suspenseful mystery in this latest installment in the Gloria Damasco Mystery series.
