Book excerpt: A riveting and devastating memoir, Time After Time reveals the slow and inexorable damage done to a child by an emotionally abusive parent. It's the 1950's, the age of modern conveniences and upward mobility. In a middle class Boston suburb, where mothers stay home to raise children and fathers take trains to the city, life is peaceful. But inside what appears to be a typical nuclear family, one child is living a nightmare. Susan's mother is systematically stripping away her rights, her sense of belonging, her activities, her access to family life and her self-respect, until she has nothing left but food, clothing and shelter. Her father, a devout Christian Scientist, as well as her sister, brother, extended family, neighbors and friends witness the constant bullying and oppression her mother inflicts on her and don't know how to intervene. Susan realizes at an early age that she must endure her situation alone: every day, time after time, for years to come. The author's courage to survive in the face of emotional deprivation, as well as her ultimate triumph, commands us to speak out for the children in our midst who are suffering in silence.

Download or read book Finna written by Nate Marshall and published by One World. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharp, lyrical poems celebrating the Black vernacular—its influence on pop culture, its necessity for familial survival, its rite in storytelling and in creating the safety found only within its intimacy “Terrific . . . illuminates life in this country in a strikingly original way.”—Ron Charles, The Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • The New York Public Library • Tordotcom Definition of finna, created by the author: fin·na /ˈfinə/ contraction: (1) going to; intending to [rooted in African American Vernacular English] (2) eye dialect spelling of “fixing to” (3) Black possibility; Black futurity; Blackness as tomorrow These poems consider the brevity and disposability of Black lives and other oppressed people in our current era of emboldened white supremacy, and the use of the Black vernacular in America’s vast reserve of racial and gendered epithets. Finna explores the erasure of peoples in the American narrative; asks how gendered language can provoke violence; and finally, how the Black vernacular, expands our notions of possibility, giving us a new language of hope: nothing about our people is romantic & it shouldn’t be. our people deserve poetry without meter. we deserve our own jagged rhythm & our own uneven walk towards sun. you make happening happen. we happen to love. this is our greatest action.

Even true love creates scars so deep you have to rip your heart apart to mend. Lawson Arzola didn't get the picture, and I wasn't in the mood to make him believe. The blood of my mother was still fresh in my mind, but there were other things to worry about. A promise to a new life, denial of my father's kingdom. But we all have consequences when choosing the right. Even if we know it will go wrong. Lennox Krause held me confined to a Texas boarding school since the death of my mother, his once lover. Now we are back together all under one roof. The twins, Calhoun and Kalonie. The eldest of us, Leonie. But with new beginnings come old quarrels and loathsome jealousy. I thought losing my mother was the hardest thing I would have to endure in my short life. Turns out fighting for my life, all in the name of survival, is the least of my worries.

Download or read book Youthful Memories written by Helen J. Bradberry and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins before my birth in 1942, during World War II on my Dad’s farm in Borden County Texas. We moved many times during the first eighteen years of my life. My family and I have gone through many hardships during those years. We were very poor but did not know it in our younger years. Everyone we encountered was in a similar situation. We soon found out when we started to school. I started to school on a cold winter day in November, 1948. My brothers Richard, Ray and I had to walk a mile to catch the bus. I have never forgotten how cold my hands and feet were when the bus finally arrived. It seemed like hours but it was probably ten or fifteen minutes. Starting late to school was the normal, because farm children had to pick the cotton before winter set in. I never heard of any parents getting into trouble for keeping the children out of school so long. I know Mom and Dad didn’t. We moved five times between 1948 and 1957. We moved to Roswell, New Mexico in 1954. We were fortunate to move within the same school district so we did not have to change schools the next three years. I graduated from the eighth grade in 1957 from Berrendo School. In September I started to North Junior High School my freshman year in Roswell. The first time I went to a city school. The next year I went on to Roswell Senior High School. My dad gave up on farming and worked in a service station in Lake Arthur the next two years. I stayed in Roswell with my three brothers living in a trailer house. My oldest brother JW sold the trailer and married his girl friend Betty in 1959. My mom, two brothers, Richard and Ray, two sisters, Mary Jo and Annie and I moved into a house next door to JW and Betty. My Mother baby sat Betty’s’ two children. I took on clothes ironing jobs, so I would have money for school supplies and spending money. I did not change schools again. However, I did not graduate with my class in 1961. I took a correspondent course and received my diploma and immediately I had to go to work. I worked at a bakery for the next year. I loved to read. I read library books from the time I learned to read. In my younger years I read all to the Canterbury Tales. I enjoyed telling stories to my two little sisters from the books I read. I taught them the nursery rhymes. I told them stories of the many incidents that happened during the moves from three states to the different farms we moved to. I am blessed with two sons. My oldest sons, David Bradberry ask me several times to write down the story of my life growing up. He wanted his children and grandchildren to hear the stories from their grandmother’s generation. I never thought I could write the stories down on paper. Once I started writing the memories started to flow. My youngest son, Steven Bradberry and his wife Jody helped me with the writing. Steven designed this book. I worked five years for the County of San Bernardino in the criminal department and the appeal section of the Superior Court, 1973 through 1978. I went to work for the 4th District Court of Appeal in September 1978 and retired December 31, 1998. I lived 34 years in Redlands, California until I retired.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McLandon Buchanan is married to MaryAnn Kelly. They have eight children and live in Nashville, Tennessee. McLandon sent his five older children to Gallatin, Tennessee, to help his sister, Marie Wingate. Marie is pregnant and is due to have her baby in less than a month. Marie needed help on the Wingate Farm and help with keeping up with her household chores. After a week, Marie sent McLandon a telegram to come get his children. They were more work than help to her. Marie had to teach the three girls basic household chores, and the two boys didn't want to do any barn or fieldwork. The boys kept getting into trouble. After learning that his children didn't know how to do anything useful around the house or farm, he decided to move his family to the country. McLandon and his help man and friend, Amos Burke, were told about a farm in Gallatin that might be exactly what he was looking for. McLandon heard talk of war coming to this country, and he wanted his family to be prepared for when that happened. McLandon wanted his family to be able to preserve the food that they grew and be able to put it in hiding for when war broke out. If they stayed in Nashville, the army would take all the food, and there wouldn't even be food to buy. MaryAnn was in all the high-society clubs and goings on in Nashville to the point that she had spoiled her older children and neglected the three younger ones. She had spoiled her children, letting the domestic help do all the household chores and taking care of the three little ones. McLandon and his family are going to learn to earn a living by the sweat of their brow.
