Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Mother America America! She repeated to herself. The sylla bles were pleasant. America. It came to her like an old friend. She knew it. She had heard it and spoken it before and it was good to hear and to say. Yet she did not know what it signified. America, she repeated over and over as though the mere saying of it brought her solace. She was struggling to unravel a hopeless tangle. How did she happen to be there? Had she been ill? Where was she being swept by the resistless rush of the ship? Out of chaos she felt the cruel stab of loneliness and distorted visions of fighting and slaughter passed like moving pictures through her brain. Had she seen these things or were they the hideous dreams of a long, dark night? She could not tell, for she was possessed of a conviction of nu reality. It would not have surprised her if every thing about her had suddenly dissolved into thin air. If she were risen from the dead, the hereafter could be no less an immaterial phantom than the present, and for all she knew the shimmering, pastel City, of lofty spires and glittering lights that spilled their trembling, liquid gold lavishly upon the sea, might be Paradise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an adoption story like no other. It's already gotten more than 200,000 views on YouTube and been shared around the world. Now, you're going to get the complete un-told story of how I found my birth mother in El Salvador. I was adopted from El Salvador at age 1 and grew up my entire life in Massachusetts. One day, after a series of events, I decided to book a trip to the country and try to find my birth mother. All I had was a photo of her. That's it. None of the contact information I had was working. The phone number I had for lawyer who did the adoption wouldn't work. Ultimately, I only had one option. I set out to visit the town where she "supposedly" lived 25 years ago. My mission was to print out a bunch of photos, hand them out, and hope that someone knew her. I had no idea what to expect, but I could NEVER predict what happened next. Not only did I find my birth mother, but I also discovered that I have a brother and two sisters. What's more, my brother had been searching for me his entire life. What You'll Witness... This story takes you behind-the-scenes of my popular YouTube video. You'll join me on the search for my birth mother. Along with deep personal disclosures about my life growing up as an adopted only-child, you will also witness an authentic transformation. On the outset, I was guarded, skeptical, and angry when it came to issues surrounding my trip. I was afraid of gang violence and crime in the country of El Salvador. You will see how my feelings slowly change and why I held them in the first place. This book is an exploration of culture, identity, and adoption. It dives deep into the connection between a mother and a child, along with what it means to be human.

Book excerpt: "A spectacular tale of violence and forgiveness."— Salman Rushdie “It’s kind of unique in my experience. . . . It’s a novelist writing about an actual event with a depth and thoroughness that you never get from the news.”—Michael Cunningham, via New York Times What does a mother say to the person responsible for kidnapping, torturing, and murdering her son? National Book Award-winning author Colum McCann channels Diane Foley’s voice as she tells her story, as the mother of American journalist Jim Foley – in search of answers, beyond justice, found through dogged, empathetic, spiritual enquiry. In late 2021, Diane Foley sat at a table across from her son's killer, Alexanda Kotey, a member of the ISIS group known as "The Beatles" who plead guilty to the kidnapping, torture, and murder of her son seven years before. Kotey was about to go serve life imprisonment and this was Diane’s chance to talk to the man who had been involved with brutally taking her son's last breath. What would she say to his killer? What would he reveal to her? Might she even be able to summon forgiveness for him? So begins American Mother— which reads alternately like a thriller, a biography, a mystery, a memoir, and a literary examination of grace. Diane looks back on the early days when Jim was a child and his journey to journalism, and the killing fields of the world where he reports with indefatigable determination and insight on the plight of those caught up in the agonies of war. She guides us through her family history and the difficulties they faced when Jim was captured. And she also charts the tenacity it takes to turn her grief into grace as she seeks to give voice to those who are still being kidnapped and wrongfully detained around the world. Few journeys are more worthy than this and, in this astonishing book, we are all invited to celebrate the lives of those who are never, in the end, gone.

Download or read book Mother American Night written by John Perry Barlow and published by Crown. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Perry Barlow’s wild ride with the Grateful Dead was just part of a Zelig-like life that took him from a childhood as ranching royalty in Wyoming to membership in the Internet Hall of Fame as a digital free speech advocate. Mother American Night is the wild, funny, heartbreaking, and often unbelievable (yet completely true) story of an American icon. Born into a powerful Wyoming political family, John Perry Barlow wrote the lyrics for thirty Grateful Dead songs while also running his family’s cattle ranch. He hung out in Andy Warhol’s Factory, went on a date with the Dalai Lama’s sister, and accidentally shot Bob Weir in the face on the eve of his own wedding. As a favor to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Barlow mentored a young JFK Jr. and the two then became lifelong friends. Despite being a freely self-confessed acidhead, he served as Dick Cheney’s campaign manager during Cheney’s first run for Congress. And after befriending a legendary early group of computer hackers known as the Legion of Doom, Barlow became a renowned internet guru who then cofounded the groundbreaking Electronic Frontier Foundation. His résumé only hints of the richness of a life lived on the edge. Blessed with an incredible sense of humor and a unique voice, Barlow was a born storyteller in the tradition of Mark Twain and Will Rogers. Through intimate portraits of friends and acquaintances from Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia to Timothy Leary and Steve Jobs, Mother American Night traces the generational passage by which the counterculture became the culture, and it shows why learning to accept love may be the hardest thing we ever ask of ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heres how it starts: Vardaman is chased by two older boys and he jumps into the elevator shaft and reaches for the steel cable and catches it, seven stories high, but his hands are slipping. He can barely hang on. The elevator is broken because the building is in Chicago, the Cabrini-Green projects, and because the older boys run the building no one wants to venture inside to fix things. The steel fibers rip into Vardamans fingers and he falls, bruised but alive, one more escape. Not everything fits a label. Vardaman is smart and he does well in second grade. His mother checks his assignments when she gets back from her day shift at the nursing home, and it is there, after work one day, that she meets the wealthy and white middle-aged son of one of the patients. He introduces himself, approaches her as shes bending over the engine of her car that wont start and offers to help, attracted to her youth and exotic beauty. She accepts his help, attracted to his polite scent of money and perhaps a path for her and her son out from the projects. And so begins their cautious but quickened dance of daring as Alexander expands his boundaries and Linda tests the limits of her own. And watching it all is Vardaman, confused by what his mother is doing, afraid of what the brothers will think of her being with a white man, and maybe taking it out on him, and all he wants is for it to be ended. This is a novel about three persons exploring who each one of them really is in their separate grips of age and race and money and where their innocence might reside and their happiness might be found.
