Book excerpt: "Who knew that a who-dun-it would not only keep you guessing—but have you laughing! Deborah Sharp is the new Edna Buchanan."—Hoda Kotb, co-anchor of NBC's Today show Meet Mama: a true Southern woman with impeccable manners, sherbet-colored pantsuits, and four prior husbands, able to serve sweet tea and sidestep alligator attacks with equal aplomb. Mama's antics—especially her penchant for finding trouble — drive her daughters Mace, Maddie, and Marty to distraction. One night, while settling in to look for ex-beaus on COPS, Mace gets a frantic call from her mother. This time, the trouble is real: Mama found a body in the trunk of her turquoise convertible and the police think she's the killer. It doesn't help that the handsome detective assigned to the case seems determined to prove Mama's guilt or that the cowboy who broke Mace's heart shows up at the local Booze & 'n' Breeze in the midst of the investigation. Before their mama lands in prison—just like an embarrassing lyric from a country-western song—Mace and her sisters must find the real culprit.

Make sure Mama Does Time does time on your bookshelf."—Elaine Viets, author of Clubbed to Death: a Dead-End Job Mystery "Not since the late Anne George has there been such laugh-out-loud Southern fried fun. Deborah Sharp's Mama Does Time is a hilarious page turner with crisp and intelligent writing."—Sue Ann Jaffarian, author of the Odelia Grey Mystery series "Deborah Sharp's witty way with words makes Mama Does Time as much fun as a down-home visit with your quirky Florida cousins."—Nancy Martin, author of the Blackbird Sisters Mysteries "Colorful characters and a segment of Florida seldom seen by tourists evoke a Southern Sisters feeling in this very well written Southern fried epic...A winner."—BookBitch.com "The author's surname—Sharp—is an apt adjective to describe her writing. Her characters crackle off the page."—Cozy Library "Deborah Sharp has an eye for character...She's funny, perceptive, and entertaining. What more can a cozy reader ask for?"—Reviewing the Evidence "Newcomer Deborah Sharp will knock your socks off with this clever cozy mystery."—Fresh Fiction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Companion to Magical Realism provides an assessment of the world-wide impact of a movement which was incubated in Germany, flourished in Latin America and then spread to the rest of the world. It provides a set of up-to-date assessments of the work of writers traditionally associated with magical realism such as Gabriel Garc a M rquez in particular his recently published memoirs], Alejo Carpentier, Miguel ngel Asturias, Juan Rulfo, Isabel Allende, Laura Esquivel and Salman Rushdie, as well as bringing into the fold new authors such as W.B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney, Jos Saramago, Dorit Rabinyan, Ovid, Mar a Luisa Bombal, Ibrahim al-Kawni, Mayra Montero, Nakagami Kenji, Jos Eustasio Rivera and Elias Khoury, discussed for the first time in the context of magical realism. Written in a jargon-free style, and with all quotations translated into English, this book offers a refreshing new interdisciplinary slant on magical realism as an international literary phenomenon emerging from the trauma of colonial dispossession.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tercera edad de oro de la ficción televisiva ha favorecido la proliferación de series de gran despliegue técnico y a la vez de narrativas que describen la intimidad y la rutina cotidiana de los protagonistas. Son obras que nos presentan personajes alejados de la heroicidad, representados a menudo dentro del espacio doméstico, que ha pasado a ser un lugar clave para la descripción y evolución de los personajes. Partiendo de la premisa que la ficción televisiva desarrolla una clara función de referencia y legitimación social, creando estereotipos y modelos en los que los espectadores se identifican, este libro analiza veinte de las series contemporáneas más populares, reflexionando sobre el rol paternal y maternal de sus protagonistas. En algunas series se encuentran ejemplos que se alejan de la descripción de la familia patriarcal convencional. Destacamos así la pluralidad de discursos que se están ofreciendo, aunque también observamos que muchas de ellas, a pesar de un envoltorio transgresor, siguen reproduciendo roles que alimentan los valores familiares tradicionales.

Download or read book Qué Puedes Esperar Cuando Estás Esperando written by Heidi Murkoff and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta traducción al español del libro considerado como la biblia del embarazo en Norteamérica con más 19 millones de copias impresas, What to Expect When You’re Expecting: 4th Edition, es más vital, menos formal y más sencilla de entender de manera general que cualquier otra anterior. Es un libro dirigido a padres que esperan un bebé y quienes no dominan el inglés o quienes, en un momento de estrés como este, prefieren lo que les resulta más familiar – su primer idioma. Está repleto de información actualizada no sólo sobre lo nuevo que se sabe sobre el embarazo, pero también sobre los temas que son relevantes para las embarazadas. Heidi Murkoff ha respondido decenas de nuevas preguntas e incluido nuevos materiales requeridos por los lectores, como, por ejemplo, una sección detallada en todos los capítulos sobre cada mes del embarazo sobre el desarrollo fetal en cada una de las semanas de este, un capítulo expandido sobre la pre-concepción y uno completamente nuevo sobre embarazos múltiples. Siendo más completa, reconfortante y empática que todas las anteriores, esta edición incorpora nuevos descubrimientos en obstetricia y toca diferentes tendencias actuales (desde el tatuaje y otras modificaciones corporales hasta el Botox y la aromaterapia). Hay mucho más que antes sobre temas prácticos (incluyendo una sección aumentada sobre cuestiones relacionadas con el sitio laboral), físicos (con más síntomas y soluciones para estos), emocionales (más consejos sobre cómo navegar la montaña rusa emocional), nutricionales (desde la dieta baja en carbohidratos hasta la vegana y desde la comida chatarra hasta la adicción a la cafeína) y sexuales (lo que es excitante y lo que no lo es al hacer el amor durante el embarazo), así como mucho más apoyo para ese muy importante socio en la maternidad: el papá. Con derroche de consejos útiles y humor (el mejor amigo de una mujer embarazada), esta nueva edición es más asequible y fácil de usar que en el pasado. Es todo lo que los padres esperan de Que puedes esperar . . . durante el embarazo, pero mucho mejor. This Spanish-language translation of What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition, America's pregnancy bible with over 19 million copies in print, is livelier, less formal, and altogether more user-friendly than ever before. It’s a book for expectant parents who don’t speak English or who, at a stressful time, find that what's most familiar—their first language—is most welcome. It's filled with up-to-date information reflecting not only what's new in pregnancy but what's relevant to pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has answered dozens of new questions and included loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand-new one on carrying multiples. More comprehensive, reassuring, and empathetic than ever, this edition incorporates recent developments in obstetrics and addresses current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy). There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food–dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect . . . only better.

Download or read book Laura Esquivel's Mexican Fictions written by Elizabeth Moore Willingham and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2012-05-18 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book - now available in paperback - is the first in-depth review and assessment of Laura Esquivel criticism. Outstanding essayists - from diverse critical perspectives in Latin American literature and film - explore Esquivel's critical reputation, contextualize her work in literary movements, and consider her four novels, as well as the film based on Like Water for Chocolate. The book begins with An Introduction to Esquivel Criticism, reviewing 20 years of global praise and condemnation. Elena Poniatowska, in an essay provided in the original Spanish and in translation, reflects on her first reading of Like Water for Chocolate. From unique critical perspectives, Jeffrey Oxford, Patrick Duffey, and Debra Andrist probe the novel as film and fiction. The Rev. Dr. Stephen Butler Murray explores Esquivel's spiritual focus, while cultural geographer Maria Elena Christie uses words and images to compare Mexican kitchen-space and Esquivel's first novel. Elizabeth Coonrod Martinez and Lydia H. Rodriguez affirm divergent readings of The Law of Love, and Elizabeth M. Willingham discusses the contested national identity in Swift as Desire. Jeanne L. Gillespie and Ryan F. Long approach Malinche: A Novel through historical documents and popular and religious culture. In the closing essay, Alberto Julian Perez contextualizes Esquivel's fiction within Feminist and Hispanic literary movements. This book has won the Harvey L. Johnson Book Award for 2011, conferred by the South Central Organization of Latin American Studies at its 44th annual Congress in Miami, Florida (March 9, 2012).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author of the remarkable memoir, The Distance Between Us comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time. “Here is a life story so unbelievable, it could only be true” (Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of The House on Mango Street). As an immigrant in an unfamiliar country, with an indifferent mother and abusive father, Reyna had few resources at her disposal. Taking refuge in words, Reyna’s love of reading and writing propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now estranged from her family and support system. Again, she finds solace in words, holding fast to her vision of becoming a writer, only to discover she knows nothing about what it takes to make a career out of a dream. Through it all, Reyna is determined to make the impossible possible, going from undocumented immigrant of little means to “a fierce, smart, shimmering light of a writer” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild); a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist whose “power is growing with every book” (Luis Alberto Urrea, Pultizer Prize finalist); and a proud mother of two beautiful children who will never have to know the pain of poverty and neglect. Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro se basa mayormente en la vida de mi madre. Les relato en palabras sencillas parte de su niñez, su vida con mi padre; cuando se mudó a Puerto Rico con sus hijas; y cómo murió. Aunque comienzo con una parte que es ficción, en “Morelia”, luego paso a la realidad de “María Estela”, donde encontrarás un conglomerado de amor, tristezas y muchas alegrías en la vida de mi madre y nosotras cuando pequeñas. Mi madre es de nacionalidad dominicana, igualmente mi padre. Nacimos en una hermosa isla llamada la Hispaniola, donde nuestro bello país, La República Dominicana, ocupa la tercera parte. De importancia es la realidad de la vida de mi madre; cuando se mudó a la vecina isla de Puerto Rico; donde llegó sola con tres niñas en los brazos y comenzó una vida nueva, con muy pocos ahorros. María Estela siempre sintió mucho agradecimiento por la hospitalidad que recibió de los puertorriqueños. Mami no sabía que yo estaba escribiendo un libro sobre ella. Sin embargo, poco a poco fui recopilando datos mientras la visitaba. Ella me contaba muchas cosas sobre su niñez y su vida. También obtuve mucha información sobre ella, durante conversaciones que mantuve con familiares en Santo Domingo y en los Estados Unidos. En el relato ficticio que comencé a escribir con el nombre de “Morelia”; identifiqué a mami con ese nombre; ya que a ella le gustaba todo lo que era mexicano. Además, “Morelia” es una ciudad en México muy preciosa y auténtica; de mucha historia y colorido, así como fue la vida de mamá. Cuando le dije la verdad; de que escribía sobre su vida pero en una vida “inventada” en Morelia, ella solo se sonrió y me dijo: “¡Mira muchacha, qué mucho tú inventa!”. Le dije: “Mamá es que comencé a imaginarme cosas y te cambié la vida. Todavía no he terminado, ya verás que volveré a tu realidad en el Capítulo de María Estela. Ahí relataré muchas de las cosas que me has dicho y de nuestra vida en Puerto Rico”. Ella seguía escuchándome muy pensativa y con un gran suspiro me dijo: “María Estela, ahora sí que tu historia parece realidad”. Mi madre fue una mujer ejemplar en su propia sencillez. Ella no completó sus estudios, pues comenzó a trabajar a temprana edad. Ella, con mucho esfuerzo y limitaciones, nunca dejó de proveer para sus tres hijas. Con el tiempo, sus fuerzas menguaron, pero su amor, ¡nunca! De este sentimiento surge la inspiración de muchos de mis poemas. También encontrarás algunas estrofas de un poema de mi hermana Tina; quien también es escritora. Incluyo una cronología de eventos importantes de la vida de mamá, parte de su genealogía, y documentos, cartas y fotos importantes sobre ella. Yo no esperaba publicar un libro; solo quería plasmar la vida de mi madre y cómo ella nos crio en Puerto Rico como un recuerdo de amor para mis familiares inmediatos. Escribí con las mejores intenciones de relatar las cosas como transcurrieron. Sin embargo, necesité mi mente creativa para completar algunos detalles; ya que no recuerdo todo como pasó, pero les aseguro que sí vivimos todas esas experiencias ¡y mucho más! Este relato es en memoria a María Estela y como agradecimiento a Puerto Rico, la vecina isla donde mami hizo muchos de sus sueños realidad y donde crecimos rodeadas de mucho cariño, palmeras, sol, arena y mar. Para mí y mis hermanas, la vida de mamá fue siempre un tapiz abierto y de muchas tonalidades. Mamá fue como una manta fuerte que nos cubría de amor y siempre nos protegía. Es un honor para nosotras compartir “María Estela y Sus Tres Hijas” con todos ustedes. Si tienes en tus manos una copia de este libro; espero que sientas el amor incondicional que solo una madre puede ofrecer, y que seas bendecido(a). ¡Gracias por tu interés!

Book excerpt: Featuring the work of more than fifty poets writing across the last eight decades, Only the Road / Solo el Camino is the most complete bilingual anthology of Cuban poetry available to an English readership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Spanish-language anthology contains selections by 45 Latin-American authors. It is intended as a text for upper division Latin American literature survey courses.

Emphasis is on major 20th-century writers, while important works from colonial and 19th-century literature as also included. The diverse selections of Literature Hispanoamericana will enable students to have a more sustained exposure to major voices of Latin American literature than possible in anthologies built around fragments. By focusing on fewer authors but more significant selections from their writings, students will have a greater grasp of major canonical figures as well as emergent voices.
