Download or read book Because I Can written by Janet Oberholtzer and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seconds, a family vacation became a nightmare when a horrific vehicle accident almost took marathon runner Janet Oberholtzer's life. It decimated her legs and shattered her pelvis. Doctors weren't sure she'd ever walk again, but her determination, along with her traditional Mennonite upbringing (almost Amish), helped her through the difficult physical recovery the first few months. This was soon followed by a depressing, emotional and spiritual trauma, which surprised Janet and proved almost fatal as she struggled to come to grips with her new normal-pain, limitations and a deformed leg. This included the struggle of keeping her marriage together, fighting through anger and depression and liberating herself from physical limitations to run again. Why? Because she can. Because I Can is not a Pollyanna story -- Janet still has disappointments and still asks questions. In spite of that, she's made a choice to live life to the fullest ... Doing what she can, with what she has, where she is.

Download or read book Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country written by Louise Erdrich and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than three decades, bestselling author Louise Erdrich has enthralled readers with dazzling novels that paint an evocative portrait of Native American life. From her dazzling first novel, Love Medicine, to the National Book Award-winning The Round House, Erdrich’s lyrical skill and emotional assurance have earned her a place alongside William Faulkner and Willa Cather as an author deeply rooted in the American landscape. In Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country, Erdrich takes us on an illuminating tour through the terrain her ancestors have inhabited for centuries: the lakes and islands of southern Ontario. Summoning to life the Ojibwe's sacred spirits and songs, their language and sorrows, she considers the many ways in which her tribe—whose name derives from the word ozhibii'ige, "to write"—have influenced her. Her journey links ancient stone paintings with a magical island where a bookish recluse built an extraordinary library, and she reveals how both have transformed her. A blend of history, mythology, and memoir, Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country is an enchanting meditation on modern life, natural splendor, and the ancient spirituality and creativity of Erdrich's native homeland—a long, elemental tradition of storytelling that is in her blood.

Download or read book The Babylon Line written by Richard Greenberg and published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Levittown, 1967. It’s the first night of an adult-ed creative writing course in a classroom at the local high school. The teacher, Aaron Port, lives in Greenwich Village and reverse commutes once a week on the Long Island Rail Road’s Babylon line. His students are a mixed bag: Frieda Cohen, Anna Cantor, and Midge Braverman, housewives all, embrace each other on arrival, and update their running checklists on each other’s kids, husbands, and lawns. Their opening gambit is to tell Aaron in no uncertain terms that they are only there because French Cooking and Flower Arranging are full. The two men in the class, Jack Hassenpflug and Marc Adams, sit silently at their desks. One final student, Joan Dellamond, rushes in late—but she actually does intend to be there. An aspiring writer troubled by a failing marriage, Joan has little in common with her neighbors. And yet, she does seek connection. Maybe this class will bring her, and Aaron, something that neither quite expects.

Download or read book Plain Meetinghouses written by Beth Oberholtzer and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Order Mennonites are deeply faithful, agrarian-rooted, Swiss-German Anabaptists who have called Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, home for 300 years. Their meetinghouses silently embody their religious traditions, and yet few outsiders have seen the startling utilitarian beauty of these rural structures up close. The author and photographer were allowed rare access to 22 austere houses of worship. The result is a one-of-a-kind book featuring over 300 photos and diagrams that document all aspects of the meetinghouses, from the design of their benches and buggy sheds to the arrangement of tables central to worship. As fast-growing Lancaster County encroaches on the Old Order way of life, their communities are changing. This book is a record of an extraordinary religious heritage.
