Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, Jane Bernstein had everything she ever wanted: a healthy four-year-old daughter, Charlotte; a happy marriage; a highly praised first novel; and a brand new baby, Rachel. But by the time Rachel was six weeks old, a neuro-ophthalmologist told Jane and her husband that their baby was blind. Although there was some hope that Rachel might gain partial vision as she grew, her condition was one that often resulted in seizure disorders and intellectual impairment. So began a series of medical and emotional setbacks that were to plague Rachel and her parents and strain their marriage to the breaking point. Spanning the first four years of Rachel’s life, Loving Rachel is a heartbreaking chronicle of a marriage and a compelling story of parental love told with searing honesty and surprising humor.

Download or read book Rachel in the World written by Jane Bernstein and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when love is no longer enough? Jane Bernstein thought that learning to accept her daughter’s disabilities meant her struggles were over. But as Rachel grew up and needed more than a parent’s devotion, both mother and daughter were confronted with formidable obstacles. Rachel in the World, which begins in Rachel’s fifth year and ends when she turns twenty-two, tells of their barriers and successes with the same honesty and humor that made Loving Rachel, Bernstein’s first memoir, a classic in its field. The linked accounts in part 1 center on family issues, social services, experiences with caregivers, and Rachel herself--difficult, charming, hard to fathom, eager for her own independence. The second part of the book chronicles Bernstein’s attempt to find Rachel housing at a time when over 200,000 Americans with mental retardation were on waiting lists for residential services. As Rachel prepares to leave her mother’s constant protection, Bernstein invites the reader to share the frustrations and unexpected pleasures of finding a place for her daughter, first in her family, and then in the world.

Download or read book The Hidden Letters of Velta B. written by Gina Ochsner and published by HMH. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautifully spun tale” set in a tiny town in Latvia—“an astonishing alchemy of history, romance, and fable” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Maris was born knowing things: His very large, very special ears enable him to hear the secrets of the dead, as well as the memories that haunt his Latvian hometown. As a boy, he finds himself heir to an odd assortment of hidden letters, from which he would weave a story that could finally expose—and maybe even patch—the holes in the fabric of his family and their town. With humor, heart, and her characteristic “luminous writing [and] affection for her characters,” Gina Ochsner creates an intimate, hopeful portrait of a fascinating town in all its complications and charm. From the onset of World War II through the cold shock of independence, we see how, despite years of distrust, a community can come through love and loss to the joy of understanding (The New York Times). A finalist for the Oregon Book Awards Ken Kesey Award for Fiction, The Hidden Letters of Velta B. is “a captivating novel of secrets, love, and memory . . . This terrific novel knocked me out” (Janet Fitch, author of Paint It Black). “Intimate, vibrant, and richly colored.” —Portland Monthly “A gift on par with Joanne Harris’s Chocolat . . . Quirky, ethereal, hilarious, and sorrowful.” —Shelf Awareness “[An] extraordinary feat of storytelling . . . A spellbinding novel as tough as it is beautiful.” —Helen Simonson, author of The Summer Before the War

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything has been hidden from Roxanne G.--her birth name, her sister, her family history--until her "boyfriend" tries to ingratiate himself by flying in her estranged mother from Tel Aviv. That visit is the start of a tumultuous journey, in which she first learns about a profoundly disabled sister who lives in a residential community in the Galilee and later begins to unearth disturbing long-held family secrets. The process of facing this history and acknowledging the ways she's been shaped by it will enable Roxanne to forge the kinds of meaningful connections that had for so long been elusive. In this way, The Face Tells the Secret is the story about a woman who finds love and learns how to open herself to its pleasures. The Face Tells the Secret is also a story that explores disability from many angles and raises questions about our responsibility to care for our kin. How far should Roxanne go to care for the wounded people in her life--her mother, her sister, the man who professes undying love? What should she take on? When is it necessary to turn away from someone's suffering?

Download or read book Vagabond Life written by George Kennan and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Kennan (1845-1924) was a pioneering explorer, writer, and lecturer on Russia in the nineteenth century, the author of classic works such as Tent Life in Siberia and Siberia and the Exile System, and great-uncle of George Frost Kennan, the noted historian and diplomat of the Cold War. In 1870, Kennan became the first American to explore the highlands of Dagestan, a remote Muslim region of herders, silversmiths, carpet-weavers, and other craftsmen southeast of Chechnya, only a decade after Russia violently absorbed the region into its empire. He kept detailed journals of his adventures, which today form a small part of his voluminous archive in the Library of Congress. Frith Maier has combined the diaries with selected letters and Kennan’s published articles on the Caucasus to create a vivid narrative of his six-month odyssey. The journals have been organized into three parts. The first covers Kennan’s journey to the Caucasus, a significant feat in itself. The second chronicles his expedition across the main Caucasus Ridge with the Georgian nobleman Prince Jorjadze. In the final part, Kennan circles back through the lands of Chechnya to slip once again into the Dagestan highlands. Kennan’s remarkable curiosity and perception come through in this lively and accessible narrative, as does his humor at the challenges of his travels. In her introduction, Maier discusses Kennan’s illustrious career and his reliability as an observer, while providing background on the Caucasus to help clarify Kennan’s descriptions of daily life, religion, etiquette, customary law, and local government. In an Afterword, she retraces Kennan’s steps to find descendants of Prince Jorjadze and describes her work in coproducing, with filmmaker Christopher Allingham, a documentary inspired by Kennan’s Caucasus journey.

Book excerpt: Volume 3 of the Planets Shaken series. Woody’s cousin Jack and his former boss Sally are prisoners at FEMA 286. The heightened security measures leave the two inmates with few options and their friends at the Compound with none. They are on their own. Will their daring escape plan succeed? Irina and the Backstrom boys undertake a risky mission to Russia to procure a mirror and infrared sensors for Blake’s telescope. Will their cover hold? Can they trust their mafia sources? Can they make it across Siberia in the winter? Ariele and Sam journey to Atchafalaya Swamp on an adventure of their own to retrieve two sensors from a federal fugitive, a grizzled astronomer gone rogue, who is hiding deep in the wilderness. But the communities on the edge of the swamp are crawling with federal agents. Moreover, the swamp holds its own dangers. The Russian Run ratchets up the tension another notch as those aware of the comet known as the Rogue face peril from a government covering up the approaching threat, and the signs in the heavens and the growing Russian threat increasingly suggest to those who interpret the prophetic Scriptures literally that the world truly is entering the prophetic era. .

Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From award-winning actress and political activist America Ferrera comes a vibrant and varied collection of first-person accounts from prominent figures about the experience of growing up between cultures. America Ferrera has always felt wholly American, and yet, her identity is inextricably linked to her parents’ homeland and Honduran culture. Speaking Spanish at home, having Saturday-morning-salsa-dance-parties in the kitchen, and eating tamales alongside apple pie at Christmas never seemed at odds with her American identity. Still, she yearned to see that identity reflected in the larger American narrative. Now, in American Like Me, America invites thirty-one of her friends, peers, and heroes to share their stories about life between cultures. We know them as actors, comedians, athletes, politicians, artists, and writers. However, they are also immigrants, children or grandchildren of immigrants, indigenous people, or people who otherwise grew up with deep and personal connections to more than one culture. Each of them struggled to establish a sense of self, find belonging, and feel seen. And they call themselves American enthusiastically, reluctantly, or not at all. Ranging from the heartfelt to the hilarious, their stories shine a light on a quintessentially American experience and will appeal to anyone with a complicated relationship to family, culture, and growing up.

Book excerpt: It's been over 800 Earth years since the fall of the Solar Empire, over 1200 Venusian days. On a terraformed Venus, the inhabitants of a dark age society struggle to rebuild civilization, only to be attacked century after century by a mysterious enemy, that abducts entire nations, in the long frozen night. Now, the word has come that the last nation on the Isle of West-Istya has fallen in the night, and the President of the Istyan Union has invited the long-banished Solar Legion back from exile on the continent of Afrodyti. He is amassing an army on the eastern shores to West-Istya that will march into the nightfall and destroy whatever is lurking there, and in the process, conquer the vast empty island into the Union. Gina has spent most of her life in the Imperial Spire, following imperial law, and studying diligently. She had wanted to become a medic until she saw the tools they used and became fascinated by technology. Studying technology was strictly controlled under imperial law, too much technology had caused the Solar Empire to fall, and now after years of study, she is ready to take the final exam, the Sleeper's Challenge. If she passes she will become a technician, and spend the rest of her life in the Spire, but if she fails, the imperial guardians will execute her. Now a heretic legionary has arrived stating the spire on the island of West-Istya has fallen in the night, and the president wants technicians, chemists, and engineers for the army he is building. To make things worse, she has just learned her best friend is a sexual deviant and will be executed if the imperial clerics find out. Will she pass her exam, or be executed? And if she passes, will she stay in the spire, or leave forever, and join the president's army?
