With a sure sense of suspense and richly imaginative details, first-time author Liz Kessler lures us into a glorious undersea world where mermaids study shipwrecks at school and Neptune rules with an iron trident — an enchanting fantasy about family secrets, loyal friendship, and the convention-defying power of love.

With a contributor list that includes notable female writers like Emily Chenoweth, Ophira Eisenberg, Allison Amend, and Aryn Kyle, the essays each shine light on the particular impact shopping has on all of us.

This illuminating anthology links the effects shopping has on our emotions-whether it fills us with guilt, happiness, resentment, or doubt-our self-worth, and our relationships with parents, grandparents, lovers, children, and friends.

Download or read book Fear No Men written by Lonely Wolf and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A child born in a Communist country. A car accident. Unfaithful husbands and fathers. Unfortunate friends, relatives and strangers. Corrupt role models. City life or Transylvanian villages steeped in centuries of blood and traditions. Gypsy fortunes and misfortunes; sharing fruit with the Communist President. With stigma attached to her like a Jewish star or a cow brand, a little girl encounters termination over and over and the scars map the way to the beginning of the road ahead. The perseverance to wage battle against the odds with rudimentary weapons fashioned from experience in the school of Hard-Knocks would drive anyone else into the faraway fields of madness and mayhem. Her splayed footprints follow the paw prints of her model and mentor, the wolf; always faithful, always courageous, always committed and always working for the good of the pack. Her tragic yet childish innocence attracts predators along the way and she learns how to heal the pain within, by becoming even more passionate and compassionate of human nature, never losing faith in her power to change destiny. Follow this child as she grows up under the Communist umbrella. At times her trips are violent, sometimes funny, sometimes deadly, but during many stumbles, falls and scrapes, she will take you into the twisted world of adults, to show you the light in her spirit and her unshakable power of believing in oneself. Due to the graphic nature and details in her world, adults will feel uncomfortable and younger audiences should not attempt to enter. The language used is that of the narrator as a child who becomes a teen and then a young-adult, throughout the chapters of her life. Whoever considered or labeled this child crazy, is either dead, old, or otherwise committed to the solitude of eternal damnation and any similarities to real people in life is purely coincidental.

Download or read book When I Was Her Daughter written by Leslie Ferguson and published by Acorn Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning memoir, When I Was Her Daughter is a raw, honest account of one girl’s journey through madness, loss, and a broken child welfare system, where only the most resilient survive. Seven-year-old Leslie has a serious problem. Someone is trying to kill her. Leslie’s mother suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. She writes rambling manifestos and forces her children to live on the run to evade capture by the Russian spies she believes are after them. Her mother’s ultimate goal is to protect her children from capture, but who will step in when she is convinced that killing them herself will save them from a worse fate? Each time the authorities repeatedly intervene, the children are again and again returned to their mother’s custody before becoming wards of the state. Once separated from her family and thrust into foster care for the foreseeable future, Leslie learns to navigate a new kind of fear and loneliness. Her ultimate goal is to be loved, but how can her mother ever love her now that she is so far away? Will she ever see her again? Will she ever find a safe place to land? In this unbelievable story of grit and grief, of hope and heart, Leslie must discover her own strength to ask for what she needs. Since it seems nobody will talk about her mother’s mental illness and nothing will bring the family peace, Leslie pretends she is—and always has been—her teacher’s daughter. This true story about the redemptive power of patience and courage reminds us that unconditional love is possible, even for a lost and angry child struggling to understand where she belongs.
