Book excerpt: In 1958, when Chana Wilson was seven, her mother attempted suicide, holding a rifle to her own head and pulling the trigger. The gun jammed and she was taken away to a mental hospital. On her return, Chana became the caretaker of her heavily medicated, suicidal mother. It would be many years before she learned the secret of her mother’s anguish: her love affair with another married woman, and the psychiatric treatment aimed at curing her of her lesbianism. Riding Fury Home spans forty years of the intense, complex relationship between Chana and her mother—the trauma of their early years together, the transformation and joy they found when they both came out in the 1970s, and the deep bond that grew between them. From the intolerance of the '50s to the exhilaration of the women’s movement of the '70s and beyond, the book traces the profound ways in which their two lives were impacted by the social landscape of their time. Exquisitely written and devastatingly honest, Riding Fury Home is a shattering account of one family’s struggle against homophobia and mental illness—and a powerful story of healing, forgiveness, and redemption.

Book Synopsis The Big Fix by : Tracey Helton Mitchell
Download or read book The Big Fix written by Tracey Helton Mitchell and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After surviving nearly a decade of heroin abuse and hard living on the streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, Tracey Helton Mitchell decided to get clean for good. With raw honesty and a poignant perspective on life that only comes from starting at rock bottom, The Big Fix tells her story of transformation from homeless heroin addict to stable mother of three—and the hard work and hard lessons that got her there. Rather than dwelling on the pain of addiction, Tracey focuses on her journey of recovery and rebuilding her life, while exposing the failings of the American rehab system and laying out a path for change. Starting with the first step in her recovery, Tracey re-learns how to interact with men, build new friendships, handle money, and rekindle her relationship with her mother, all while staying sober, sharp, and dedicated to her future. A decidedly female story of addiction, The Big Fix describes the unique challenges faced by women caught in the grip of substance abuse, such as the toxic connection between drug addition and prostitution. Tracey’s story of hope, hard work, and rehabilitation will inspire anyone who has been affected by substance abuse while offering hope for a better future.

Download or read book Fury written by Tena Louise Atkins and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful black stallion they call Fury, ridden by an even more stunning woman with long raven hair flowing out in the wind behind her, makes for a remarkable picture. However, this setting is not the hills of Scotland, or Ireland--no this is the open prairie and rolling hills of Wyoming. The southernmost part of Wyoming where the borders of Colorado meet. Between the Snowy Range mountains west of Laramie and Elk Mountain range west of that range lay Saratoga Hot Springs, and 50 more miles to the southeast of all these natural Wyoming wonders lay this valley of beautiful fields of wildflowers and flowing streams in the summer; but in the winter, the snow blows and the wind howls. However, no matter the season, this is where the most fantastic sunsets in the country are right here--but I maybe partial, thought Zach Gannett, because this is where the Gannett family lives and prospers. Where no one is allowed to come along and take away their land, or peace of security, or disrupt the love of family. Others tend to be jealous of what they have, not so much by way of land and cattle, but by way of family love, because family means everything to the Gannett’s and they will defend each other to the end. However, the Wyoming frontier is unforgiving at times, with harsh winters and searing hot summers--sometimes to the extreme opposites causing tempers to rise. The locals understood all this as they have been born and raised in Wyoming. There are those who haven’t though, those who come from so far away, as to not have a clue what this country is all about. Those who need to be taught a lesson about the wild west.

Book Synopsis Riding the Bus with My Sister by : Rachel Simon
Download or read book Riding the Bus with My Sister written by Rachel Simon and published by HMH. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “heartwarming, life-affirming” memoir of a relationship with an intellectually disabled sibling: “Read this book. It might just change your life” (Boston Herald). Beth is a spirited woman with an intellectual disability who lives intensely and often joyfully, and spends most of her days riding the buses in Pennsylvania. The drivers, a lively group, are her mentors; her fellow passengers, her community—though some display less patience or kindness than others. Her sister, Rachel, a teacher and writer, camouflages her emotional isolation by leading a hyperbusy life. But one day, Beth asks Rachel to accompany her on public transportation for an entire year—and Rachel accepts. This wise, funny, deeply affecting book is the chronicle of that remarkable time, as Rachel learns how to live in the moment, how to pay attention to what really matters, how to change, how to love—and how to slow down and enjoy the ride. Weaving in anecdotes and memories of terrifying maternal abandonment, fierce sisterly loyalty, and astonishing forgiveness, Rachel Simon brings to light a world that is almost invisible to many people, finds unlikely heroes in everyday life, and, without sentimentality, wrestles with her own limitations and portrays Beth as the endearing, feisty, independent person she is. “With tenderness and fury, heartbreak and acceptance . . . Simon comes to the inescapable conclusion that we are all riders on the bus, and on the bus we are all the same.” —Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean
