Download or read book CRABAPPLE BLOSSOMS and New Beginnings written by Grace Young Smith; Sue Young Hunter and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Crabapple Blossoms” draws you into the warm rhythms of Georgia farm life as the Depression came and went. Grace Smith and Sue Hunter skillfully capture the sounds and sights of tobacco cultivation and harvest, games children played using only their imaginations, humorous interactions with family and friends, country church services and funerals for pets. The sisters’ account of a time at Berry College illustrates the unique nature of the school where sewing and tractor driving could be part of earning tuition—of a place where young people from farm families could learn skills and earn degrees that would open a new world to them. The stories of teaching school vividly present the problems in the days of few standards, a front row seat for what racial integration meant and some frank—and sometimes sardonic—observations of the often illogical curriculum reforms that will be familiar to anyone who taught or sat in a classroom during the last half century. “In ‘Crabapple Blossoms,’ Grace Smith and Sue Hunter bring the world of girlhood days on a Georgia tobacco farm, college days at Berry and teaching careers to life. With humor, honesty and style, they tell a unique story—one that captures the changing South in context of school, church and family.” --W. Winston Skinner, Newnan, Ga. Writer and historian
Download or read book New Beginnings written by Antonina Duridanova and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burning with desire to share the value of freedom, Antonina takes you from her plight in communist Bulgaria to the free shores of America. Following unfortunate events of life in a totalitarian regime in Bulgaria, Antonina bids goodbye to her homeland and flees to the Western world. She provides true experiences and observations of what life is in a communist society-her family's lands and cattle being confiscated by the agricultural labor cooperatives; the censorship of the press and any literal, artistic, and scientific works from the West; religion being prohibited; and any deviation from the norm leading to detention in a labor camp. Her last crossing of the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border almost costs Antonina her life and makes up her mind to never go back. She describes her life as an immigrant at the refugee camp in Traiskirchen, Austria, while waiting for an American visa. Antonina is ecstatic when the plane cruises over the Statue of Liberty and lands in the most amazing city in the world-New York. She describes how she could taste, smell, feel, and touch freedom as she gets off the plane, ready to embark on new adventures. Antonina gets educated and becomes a good specialist in taxation, working for the United States Treasury Department. Ultimately, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, she is invited to go back to Bulgaria and fix a broken tax system as a representative of the United States government. Her work in the newly democratic society of Bulgaria paved the way for the country to become a member of NATO, escaping Soviet influence, and later being accepted in the family of the European Union. 20
