Download or read book The Color of Love written by Marra B. Gad and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this award-winning memoir, a mixed-race Jewish woman recounts her journey from adoption and prejudice to helping the family that once shunned her. Marra B. Gad’s biological parents were a black man and a white Jewish woman. In 1970, at three days old, she was adopted by a white Jewish family in Chicago. For them, it was love at first sight—but the world was not ready for a family like theirs. In black spaces, Marra was considered “not black enough” and encountered antisemitism. In Jewish spaces, she was mistaken for the help, asked to leave, or worse. She even faced racism within her own family. Marra’s family cut ties with relatives who refused to accept her—including her once beloved and glamorous Great-Aunt Nette. But after fifteen years of estrangement, Marra discovered that Nette had Alzheimer’s, and that she was the only one able to reunite Nette with her family. Instead of revenge, Marra chose love, and watched as the disease erased her aunt’s racism, making space for a relationship that was never possible before. The Color of Love explores the idea of yerusha, which means “inheritance” in Yiddish. At turns heart-wrenching and heartwarming, this is a story about what you inherit from your family—identity, disease, melanin, hate, and most powerful of all, love. Winner of the 2020 Midwest Book Award in Autobiography/Memoir

Download or read book Multicultural and Ethnic Children s Literature in the United States written by Donna L. Gilton and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of Multicultural and Ethnic Children’s Literature in the United States addresses both quantitative and more qualitative changes in this field over the last decade. Quantitative changes include more authors, books, and publishers; book review sources, booklists, and awards; organizations, institutions, and websites; and criticism and other scholarship. Qualitative changes include: More support for new and emerging writers and illustrators; Promotion of multicultural literature both in the U.S. and around the world, as well as developments in global literature; Developments in the literatures described throughout this book, as well as in research supporting this literature; The impact of technology; Characteristics and activities of four adult audiences that use and promote multicultural children’s literature, and Changes in leaders and their organizations. This is still a single reference source for busy and involved librarians, teachers, parents, scholars, publishers, distributors, and community leaders. Most books on multicultural children’s literature are written especially for teachers, librarians, and scholars. They may be introductions to the literature, selection tools, teaching guides, or very theoretical books on choosing, evaluating, and using these materials. Multicultural and Ethnic Children’s Literature in the United States focuses much more on the history of the development of this literature, from the nineteenth century to the present day. This book provides much more of a cultural and political context for the early development of this literature. It emphasizes the “self-determining” viewpoints and activities of diverse people as they produce materials for the young. Multicultural and Ethnic Children’s Literature… describes organizations, events, activities, and other contributions of diverse writers, illustrators, publishers, researchers, scholars, librarians, educators, and parents. It also describes trends in the research on the literature. It elaborates more on ways in which diversity is still an issue in publishing companies and an extended list of related industries. It describes related literature from outside of the U.S. and makes connections to traditional global literature. Last, Multicultural and Ethnic Children’s Literature, shows the impact of multiculturalism on education, libraries, and the mainstream culture, in general. While the other books on multiculturalism focus on how to find, evaluate, and use multicultural materials, especially in schools and libraries, this book is concerned over whether and how books are produced in the first place and how this material impact the broader society. In many ways, it supplements other books on multicultural children’s literature.

Download or read book Dynamic Prayers Changed Lives written by Kelly Ann Evers and published by Kelly Ann Evers. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I want you to know abuse is never okay – EVER! And I promise you, God will NOT let the abuser get by with it. God’s love for you is so deep and so intense, that the pain you experience, He experiences. When you cry, He cries. When you hurt, He hurts. He knows your pain and suffering is very real and very damaging. God has a lot to say about verbal, physical, mental, financial and sexual abuse. After reading this book you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has a zero tolerance for abuse. In fact, over 1000 Scriptures talk about abuse. He wants you to know that regardless of what you’ve been told or shamed into believing, God does not condone abuse ever. And God Himself says it’s not okay – ever! I know you will cherish the precious words of God as He reveals His heart to you throughout this book. As a result, readings and meditating on the Scriptures in this book, you will experience total freedom and lasting joy. And that freedom is the most wonderful thing you will ever experience – I promise! God sees your pain. T here is not one tear shed that He doesn’t see. Not one hurt or pain that doesn’t go unnoticed. Not one violent act that hasn’t been recorded. God Himself says that He will wipe away every tear. He will not send someone to wipe your tears … He will wipe away every tear Himself. He says that there will be no more mourning, no more sorrow and no more pain. He says He will make everything brand new. God is devastated by the abuse done to you. He is not only devastated by it, but feels the pain you’ve felt. There is a Greek word, “splagchnizomai” that is used in conjunction with the compassion of Jesus. Whenever Jesus was going to heal someone, this word is used. The best way to describe this word would be Jesus actually enters into the pain someone is suffering. His love is so deep that He actually experiences the same identical pain or emotion we feel. He was so deeply moved with compassion that their pain is His pain, and through that deep level of compassion He is able to heal. This is what Jesus is doing with you this very moment. As He sees your tears and witnesses the abuse done to you – it is equivalent to the abuser abusing Jesus. He feels your pain fully, and He is devastated by it. No one can ever really understand the pain we feel, even someone who has endured the same abuse – but the Almighty God does. He sees your hurts, your pain, the sorrow and He says, He is coming and He will take it away. Did you ever cry out to God begging, pleading, wishing He’d help, intervene? He promises that by no means will He let the guilty go unpunished. There is no wrong done by an unrepentant sinner that will be erased. Everyone who has wronged you, will be held accountable for all that has been done to you. This promise book has been created to introduce you to my God, the God of Justice and the God of Protection.

Download or read book Dream Tonight of Peacock Tails written by Umberto Rossi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dream Tonight of Peacock Tails marks the first in-depth examination of Pynchon’s debut novel, which was immediately recognized as a breakthrough masterpiece. The eight essays collected in the volume provide both scholars and avid readers with new and original insights into a too-often underestimated work that, probably even more than Gravity’s Rainbow, established Pynchon as one of the great masters of twentieth-century American literature. This book deliberately privileges a multidisciplinary and transnational approach, encompassing collaborations from a particularly international and diverse academic context. As such, this volume offers a multifaceted pattern of expanding investigation that tackles the novel’s apparently chaotic but meticulously organized structure by rereading it in the light of recent US and European history and economics, as well as by exploring its many real and imagined locations. Not only are the essays brought together here revelatory of Pynchon’s way of working, but they also tell us something about our own ways of approaching his fiction.

Amber Blackwood, lifelong resident of Edgehill, Oregon, has earned a reputation for being a semi-reclusive odd duck. Her store, The Quirky Whisker, is full of curiosities, from extremely potent sleepy teas and ever-burning candles to kids’ toys that seem to run endlessly without the aid of batteries. The people of Edgehill think of the Quirky Whisker as an integral part of their feline-obsessed town, but most give Amber herself a wide berth. Amber prefers it that way; it keeps her secret safe. But that secret is thrown into jeopardy when Amber’s friend Melanie is found dead, a vial of headache tonic from Amber’s store clutched in her hand. Edgehill’s newest police chief has had it out for Amber since he arrived three years before. He can’t possibly know she’s a witch, but his suspicions about her odd store and even odder behavior have shot her to the top of his suspect list. When the Edgehill rumor mill finds out Melanie was poisoned, it’s not only the police chief who looks at Amber differently. Determined to both find justice for her friend and to clear her own name, Amber must use her unique gifts to help track down Melanie’s real killer.
