Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Man Comes from Someplace: Stories, History, Memory from a Lost Time is a cultural study of a multi-generational Jewish family from a shtetl in southwestern Ukraine before World War I to their international lives in the 21st century. The narrative, told from multiple perspectives, becomes a transformative space for re-presenting family stories as cultural performance. The study draws from many sources: ethnographic interviews with an oral storyteller (the author's father), family letters, papers from immigration and relief organizations of the 1920s, eyewitness reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, maps, genealogy, and cultural, historical, and literary research. The book investigates the ways family stories can be collected, interpreted, and re-presented to situate story in history and to re-envision connections between the past, present, and future. Family stories become memory sites for interrogating questions of loss and displacement, exile, immigration, survival, resilience, and identity. Stories function as antidotes to trauma, a means of making sense of the world. Memory is an act of resistance, the refusal to be silenced or erased, the insistence that we know the past and remember those who came before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1933, what's left of the Turner family--twelve-year-old Hallie and her two brothers--finds itself driving the back roads of rural America. The children have been swept up into a new migratory way of life. America is facing two devastating crises: the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Hundreds of thousands of people in cities across the country have lost jobs. In rural America it isn't any better as crops suffer from the never-ending drought. Driven by severe economic hardship, thousands of people take to the road to seek whatever work they can find, often splintering fragile families in the process. As the Turner children move from town to town, searching for work and trying to cobble together the basic necessities of life, they are met with suspicion and hostility. They are viewed as outsiders in their own country. Will they ever find a place to call home? New York Times-bestselling author Sandra Dallas gives middle-grade readers a timely story of young people searching for a home and a better way of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Mulligan is tough, snarky, and tattooed, hiding his self-consciousness behind sarcasm. Daniel has never fit in-not at home in Philadelphia with his auto mechanic father and brothers, and not at school where his Ivy League classmates looked down on him. Now, Daniel's relieved to have a job at a small college in Holiday, Northern Michigan, but he's a city boy through and through, and it's clear that this small town is one more place he won't fit in. Rex Vale clings to routine to keep loneliness at bay: honing his muscular body, perfecting his recipes, and making custom furniture. Rex has lived in Holiday for years, but his shyness and imposing size have kept him from connecting with people. When the two men meet, their chemistry is explosive, but Rex fears Daniel will be another in a long line of people to leave him, and Daniel has learned that letting anyone in can be a fatal weakness. Just as they begin to break down the walls keeping them apart, Daniel is called home to Philadelphia, where he discovers a secret that changes the way he understands everything.
Book Synopsis Celebrity Detox by : Rosie O'Donnell
Download or read book Celebrity Detox written by Rosie O'Donnell and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-09 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and always brutally honest, this is Rosie O'Donnell's surprising account of the pain, regret, and euphoria involved in withdrawing from celebrity life--and the terrifying dangers of relapsing into the spotlight. Celebrity Detox is Rosie's story of the years after she walked away from her top-rated TV show in 2002, and her reasons for going back on the air in 2006. In it, she takes you inside the world of talk show TV, speaking candidly about the conflicts and challenges she faced as cohost on ABC's The View. Along the way Rosie shows us how fame becomes addiction and explores whether or not it's possible for an addict to safely, and sanely, return to the spotlight. Chronicling the ups and downs of "the fame game," Rosie O'Donnell illuminates not only what it's like to be a celebrity, but also what it's like to be a mother, a daughter, a leader, a friend, a sister, a wife...in short, a human being.

Book excerpt: April 5, 1874 Jeremiah Bradley O'Shea, JB to all his friends, is leaving his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and headed west. He is leaving the only home he has ever known but even more he is hoping to leave behind the person he has become. He begins his quest, a baptism of sorts to begin a new life. His plan is to first find his brother and his family somewhere in the Wyoming Territory. There, he hopes to begin his own dream of owning a cattle ranch and rediscover the person he was before the Civil War. Before all of the killing, the death and destruction the war brought with it. During his trek JB quickly discovers things, much like in the past, are still the same where he is headed. Just like before, bad may not always be bad and what appears to be good most certainly is not always good. He continues to trust his instinct as he did in the war, maybe even more on this journey. Truly believing at the end of his quest he finds what his soul most desires, peace. Peace in knowing he has given everything he had to give. Not realizing how high the price would actually be. "Welcome, Tom Keilholtz, into the pantheon of great western writers. SOMEWHERE is an engaging, heartfelt road trip circa 1874 with a cast of unforgettable characters, including JB, a great leading man taking us on this scenic adventure into the West. Like the outdoorsman author, JB owns the ground he walks on here, and authenticity resonates on every page." - Robert Knott (Author of Revelation)

But the money-laundering specialist is less than willing to come forward. The gunmen tracking him want silence by way of a bullet.

Book Synopsis Going Somewhere by : Andrew A. Marino
Download or read book Going Somewhere written by Andrew A. Marino and published by . This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going Somewhere is a dynamic autobiographical narrative about Andrew Marino's career in science. With a depth and drama that arise from personal involvement, the book explores an exceptionally wide range of science-related matters: the relation between electrical energy and life; the influence of corporate and military power on science; the role of self-interest on the part of federal and state agencies that deal with human health, especially the NIH and the FDA; the importance of cross-examining scientific experts in legal hearings; the erroneous view of nature that results when the perspective of physics is extended into biology; the pivotal role of deterministic chaos theory in at least some cognitive processes. These matters arise in the long course of the author's scientific and legal activities involving the complex debate over the health risks of man-made environmental electromagnetic fields. The book offers far more than a solution to the contentious health issue. The story provides a portal into how science actually works, which you will see differs dramatically from the romantic notion of an objective search for truth. You will understand that science is a human enterprise, all too human, inescapably enmeshed in uncertainty. This realization has the potential to change your life because it will likely affect whom you choose to believe, and with what degree of confidence.
