Book Synopsis The Other Side of the River by : Alex Kotlowitz
Download or read book The Other Side of the River written by Alex Kotlowitz and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1999-01-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz is one of this country's foremost writers on the ever explosive issue of race. In this gripping and ultimately profound book, Kotlowitz takes us to two towns in southern Michigan, St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, separated by the St. Joseph River. Geographically close, but worlds apart, they are a living metaphor for America's racial divisions: St. Joseph is a prosperous lakeshore community and ninety-five percent white, while Benton Harbor is impoverished and ninety-two percent black. When the body of a black teenaged boy from Benton Harbor is found in the river, unhealed wounds and suspicions between the two towns' populations surface as well. The investigation into the young man's death becomes, inevitably, a screen on which each town projects their resentments and fears. The Other Side of the River sensitively portrays the lives and hopes of the towns' citizens as they wrestle with this mystery--and reveals the attitudes and misperceptions that undermine race relations throughout America.

Download or read book My Side of the River written by Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “My Side of the River is both fierce and poetic. It brilliantly reframes border writing while embracing nature and familial history. There are moments one sees greatness appear. This is one of those moments.” —Luis Alberto Urrea, New York Times bestselling author of Good Night, Irene Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez reveals her experience as the U.S. born daughter of immigrants and what happened when, at fifteen, her parents were forced back to Mexico in this galvanizing yet tender memoir. Born to Mexican immigrants south of the Rillito River in Tucson, Arizona, Elizabeth had the world at her fingertips. She was preparing to enter her freshman year of high school as the number one student when suddenly, her own country took away the most important right a child has: the right to have a family. When her parents’ visas expired and they were forced to return to Mexico, Elizabeth was left responsible for her younger brother, as well as her education. Determined to break the cycle of being a “statistic,” she knew that even though her parents couldn’t stay, there was no way she could let go of the opportunities the U.S. could provide. Armed with only her passport and sheer teenage determination, Elizabeth became what her school would eventually describe as an unaccompanied homeless youth, one of thousands of underage victims affected by family separation due to broken immigration laws. For fans of Educated by Tara Westover and The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande, My Side of the River explores separation, generational trauma, and the toll of the American dream. It’s also, at its core, a love story between a brother and a sister who, no matter the cost, is determined to make the pursuit of her brother’s dreams easier than it was for her.

Book excerpt: Halfway Across the River is a compilation of fascinating stories that detail Dr. Annette Childs's nearly twenty years of work with they dying. From deathbed visions, to messages sent from beyond the veil, these poignant tales offer a perfect blend of truth, mystery, and wonder. Readers will find themselves misty with emotion one moment, and dissolving into laughter the next. Indeed, Halfway Across the River achieves a nearly perfect balance between the mundane and the extraordinary. The true accounts Dr. Childs describes are meant to bring peace to the dying, hope to the grieving, and true food for thought to the rest of us. Halfway Across the River evolved in response to the unlikely relationship between Dr. Childs and Don Borwhat. Mr. Borwhat was the skeptical husband of one of Annette's dear friends, Margaret, who died in 2006. For years Don had sarcastically referred to Annette as the Godwoman' due to the skeptical eye he cast toward what he calls the foo foo' philosophies that she shared with his dying wife. After Margaret's death, Don's world is turned upside down by an extraordinary foo foo' event, the type he had spent his entire adult life scorning. As his previous worldview crumbled around him, he was left no choice but to sheepishly approach Dr. Childs for a bit of spiritual tutelage. Dons cantankerous attitude is a fine balance to the ethereal world in which Dr. Childs has one foot firmly planted. Let the Godwoman and the skeptical businessman take you along on their journey toward understanding the astonishing messages that Don's beloved wife Margaret, so eloquently sends to him from the other side. It is a ride you will not soon forget!
