The discovery reveals a disturbing side to the eccentric lives of family friends Abner and Adolph Rumbaugh, known throughout their small western Pennsylvania town simply as the Twins. It seems that Ab and Dolph have been compelled by a powerful mutual love for their deceased mother to do something extraordinary, something that in its own twisted way bridges the gap between the living and the dead. Immediately, Ivy's discovery provokes the revelation of a Rumbaugh family curse, a curse that, as Ivy will learn over the coming years, holds a strange power over herself and her own mother. In his third book for young adults, Jack Gantos has scripted a completely original drama. With gothic flavor and black humor, he depicts a group of people bound together by love, compulsion . . . and a passion for taxidermy.

Download or read book The Cursing Mommy s Book of Days written by Ian Frazier and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on his widely read columns for The New Yorker, Ian Frazier's uproarious first novel, The Cursing Mommy's Book of Days, centers on a profoundly memorable character, sprung from an impressively fertile imagination. Structured as a daybook of sorts, the book follows the Cursing Mommy—beleaguered wife of Larry and mother of two boys, twelve and eight—as she tries (more or less) valiantly to offer tips on how to do various tasks around the home, only to end up on the ground, cursing, surrounded by broken glass. Her voice is somewhere between Phyllis Diller's and Sylvia Plath's: a hilariously desperate housewife with a taste for swearing and large glasses of red wine, who speaks to the frustrations of everyday life. Frazier has demonstrated an astonishing ability to operate with ease in a variety of registers: from On the Rez, an investigation into the lives of modern day Oglala Sioux written with a mix of humor, compassion, and imagination, to Dating Your Mom, a sidesplitting collection of humorous essays that imagines, among other things, how and why you might begin a romance with your mother. Here, Frazier tackles another genre with his usual grace and aplomb, as well as an extra helping of his trademark wicked wit. The Cursing Mommy's failures and weaknesses are our own—and Frazier gives them a loving, satirical spin that is uniquely his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three generations of fiercely strong and stubborn Mexican American women face grief head-on as they attempt to shed generational trauma and discover the true meaning of home in this lyrical novel that features magical realism in the tradition of The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina and The House of the Spirits. For generations, the Olivares women have sought to control their daughters’ destinies, starting with their names. In life, Olvido constantly clashed with her carefree daughter. Then teenage Angustias discovered she was pregnant and left her mother’s home in search of her own. Ten years later, Felicitas finally meets her estranged grandmother and is terribly disappointed when Olvido is nothing like a grandmother should be. She is strict, cold, and…dead. Now, Olvido is convinced the only way her spirit will cross over is if she resolves her unfinished business—to make sure Angustias is in a better place regarding family, job, husband, and God, but maybe not in that order—and Felicitas is the only person who can see or hear her. Heartbroken about her mother’s passing and desperate to put Olvido’s tiny Texas home in her rearview mirror as quickly as possible, Angustias doesn’t understand why suddenly everyone in town seems to be conspiring to set her up with every eligible bachelor in town, offer her jobs, and invite her and Felicitas to church every Sunday. As Olvido attempts to puppeteer her granddaughter to “fix” Angustias’s life from beyond the grave, Angustias tries desperately to find a better place for Felicitas, and Felicitas struggles to keep her ability to see the dead a secret from Angustias, all three Olivares girls are forced to learn how to actually listen to one another, to work to overcome generations’ worth of well-intentioned mistakes and learn the true definition of home.

Download or read book CURSED WORDS FROM THE BIBLE written by Elder Richard T. Avery and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an erroneous doctrine that is the result of misinterpretation and contextual errors that is gaining momentum in religious organizations. The use of a peculiar verbiage that changes the narrative of the word of God is being taught from palatial mega churches to small storefront edifices. The teaching of generational curses conveys the false message that born-again, Spirit-led believers in Jesus Christ can be the recipient of generational curses. In these volatile, uncertain times, believers are being sold "biblical" snake oil as an answer to why they are unable to overcome a multiplicity of failures in their lives. Because of the lack of dedicated personal study of the scriptures, believers are gravitating to a teaching that has changed the narrative of what Jesus Christ taught in the gospels. This book is the journey of an angry, rebellious teen who was indoctrinated by his mother into believing he was generationally cursed. His life was in the fast lane of a highway heading in the wrong direction toward eternal destruction. However, Jesus Christ intervened, guided him to an exit, and led him to the heaven-bound highway. He transitioned from an incarcerated prisoner of sin to a liberated prosecutor of generational curses. In a unique, creative exposition, Elder Richard Avery examines how from the beginning Satan uses the tactic of changing the narrative of God's word to confuses believers and corrupt their belief in the word of God. With the use of contextual accuracy, he prosecutes the "cursed" words from the Bible that are being used to imprison those "whom the Son has set free."
