Download or read book Peace Mom written by Cindy Sheehan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-09-26 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Writing this book is the second most difficult thing I have ever done, next to burying Casey." On April 4, 2004, Cindy Sheehan learned that Casey, the eldest of her four children, had been killed in Iraq, where he was serving in the United States Army. After struggling through crippling grief for three weeks, she came to an epiphany: "I will spend my life trying to make Casey's sacrifice count for peace and love, not killing and hate." Peace Mom is the heartfelt and profoundly moving story of Cindy's journey to activism. She recounts the dark days following Casey's death, when it seemed her life would never have meaning again. She tells of her June 2004 meeting with President Bush, and how that encounter ultimately set her on a path that would take her to hearings in the Capitol, test old friendships and family ties, and culminate outside Crawford, Texas, in a monthlong peace action that would draw thousands of supporters and worldwide attention. Here are the stories Cindy has never shared before about her own experiences at the center of a media firestorm, the life-altering events that were sparked by her simple act of defiance one hot August day in Texas. Going behind the headlines and sound bites, Cindy writes candidly about the toll her activism has taken on her own life and her family, as well the unforeseen rewards her quest for peace has brought. Through days of rage, despair, laughter, and tears, Cindy has found ways to celebrate the life of her son Casey and give meaning to his death. Her story points the way to a future of peace and justice for the world and for our children. Heartrending and powerful, Peace Mom is at once an honest account of one woman's triumph over loss and a clarion call to all those who wonder if they can make a difference.

See you there.” The note was dated the day before her death. Obsessed by the possibility of understanding her suicide, Jace seeks out the property—Priory House, a big brick fortress in Margate, England—and buys it.

This book was released on 2022-08-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pirmasens, their hometown in Germany, was one of the first cities that required the citizens to evacuate as the town was located in close proximity to the French border. The adventures started with the first evacuation from Pirmasens. The evacuees were required to report to the local train station and taken to a safe city by train. During the evacuations, the family was often attacked by machine gun fire from the vertical dive bombers known as Stucka’s. Among other adventures, they found bones of an aborted baby in the woods after they had evacuated their hometown. Going for days without food was not uncommon. They became very creative about obtaining food, clothing, and other necessities which were in rare supply. Pauline recalls the postwar time in 1945 when the Americans came into town to take control. Hitler portrayed the enemy as dark, hunched-over creatures. Posters were hung throughout every city, depicting the enemy. Surprisingly enough, Inge met the first time an American who was tall and handsome, nothing like the creature she expected to see. That was also the first time she ever tasted chewing gum. Chewing gum was the treat the American soldiers handed to the German children during the first encounter. Soon thereafter, the family received care packages from American citizens with food, toys, and clothing. The postwar years were plagued with people starving. At least, shortly after the war, August was able to return home to his family. Together, August and Pauline were able to assure the family that the war was over and now begins the journey of becoming valued members of the German society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When two money-conscious teenage thugs, Joseph Basabasa and Nipa Crazima, feel they could not tolerate receiving an undeserved education at a delinquent institution, Delinqhose Reformatory, they plan and implement an escape strategy to launch their careers as preachers of faith and miracle workers. Having succeeded in establishing themselves as miracle workers, the two friends, now called Pastor Joe Wrap and Mallam Nipa Manabad, achieve their aim by becoming rich while commanding thousands of followers. In their routine undertakings, they indulge in blatant deception to achieve their goals, while Joe Wrap particularly ups the ante by engaging in reckless philandering. With Wrap involved in cheating, his wife, Yenti-Gyae Wrap, decides to turn the tables on him by dating a young drug dealer. The pastor, however, could not stand the insult of his wife cheating on him and thus kills his wife's boyfriend. To settle the score, Mrs. Wrap avenges her late boyfriend by murdering her husband's girlfriend, Whinny Wilgetmyshare, when she catches the two having an affair. The Wraps are able to escape justice by using bribery while exploiting the incompetency of the local police force. At a certain point in time, an ascetic and itinerant Christian preacher, Man-of-Sorrow, with the help of an old pious and learned Muslim ally, El-Hajj Yudugud (who also happens to know the two charlatans), confronts the pastor and his Muslim friend on their unsavory deeds. The two faith peddlers, however, resent the intrusion and plan to eliminate the new adversaries if the need arises. Also caught in the saga of the faith peddlers are two philanthropic expatriates, Darling Adomaityte and Kidest Desta, who are working assiduously to assist members of Pastor Wrap's church and others while, at the same time, endeavoring to expose the pastor and his Muslim accomplice. At the end of this thrilling saga, victims of Pastor Wrap and Nipa Manabad avenge their ill treatment by planning and implementing the elimination of both religious preachers.

Download or read book In Bloom written by Eva Verde and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brilliant and incisive new novel from the author of Lives Like Mine... A deeply affecting novel, In Bloom tells of strength, survival, forgiveness, resilience and determination, and the fierce love and unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters. Delph has kept herself small and quiet as a form of self-protection, ever since the love of her life Sol’s untimely death left her pregnant and alone at the age of twenty-four. Theirs was such a once-in-a-lifetime love, that the loss of her soulmate broke her heart ‒ and almost broke her, too. Years on, Delph’s protective bubble bursts when her daughter Roche moves out of the flat Delph shares with her partner Itsy and in with her estranged nan, Moon. Now that it’s just the two of them, the cracks in Delph and Itsy’s relationship begin to grow. Feeling on the outside of the bond between her fierce-yet-flaky tarot-reading mother and volatile martial-arts-champion daughter, Delph begins questioning her own freedom. Is her life with Itsy all it seems? And has keeping small and safe truly been her choice all these years…?
