Amanda is haunted by all three in her dreams. Only her will to determine her own fate leads her to her final choice.

Download or read book A Murder On Allen Street written by Carol Polcovar and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-09-08 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time: the late nineteenth century. Place: the city of New York, a mecca for the ambitious and the corrupt where the poor barely survive on the wages for their fourteen-hour work day. Crime is at its highest, higher than it will be in all of the city's history. Nevertheless, the burgeoning city is alive with possibilities. This is the setting for a different kind of coming-of-age story. Sixteen-year-old Rivka Lenski, a recent Russian Jewish immigrant and orphan, cannot even read or write English. Her days are spent on survival. When her coworker and friend Frieda Baum is found murdered in a house of assignation on Allen Street, Rivka pledges to find the murderer and bring justice to her friend's devastated family. Rivka's search to find her friend's killer leads Rivka deeper into the diverse and complex world of late nineteenth-century New York, a world rife with corruption, racism, and crime yet filled with colorful characters like the criminal lawyers Hummel and Howe and Mother Mandelbaum, the head of organized crime in the city. Rivka's search brings her face to face with the intertwined worlds of this New York, from the glorious mansions of Grammercy Park to the haunts of ambitious prostitutes and entertainers, into the lives of women who love each other as well as informants and pickpockets while growing stronger and more aware of a world she had never before noticed. Through her unexpected friendship with Mercy, a maid in the house where her friend Frieda died, Rivka learns how to read and write and about the cruelty of racism in her new land. In searching for a murderer, Rivka learns to become a detective and an American.

Book Synopsis Spirituality in Young Adult Literature by : Patty Campbell
Download or read book Spirituality in Young Adult Literature written by Patty Campbell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time when almost any gritty topic can be featured in a young adult novel, there is one subject that is avoided by writers and publishers. Faith and belief in God seldom appear in traditional form in novels for teens. The lack of such ideas in mainstream adolescent literature can be interpreted by teens to mean that these matters are not important. Yet a significant part of growing up is struggling with issues of spirituality. The underlying problem, of course, is that there are so few writers who are willing to talk to teenagers about God, even indirectly, or who themselves have the religious literacy for the task. Spirituality in Young Adult Literature: The Last Taboo tackles a subject rarely portrayed in fiction aimed at teens. In this volume, Patty Campbell examines not only realistic fiction, but young adult literature that deals with mysticism, apocalyptical end times, and even YA novels that depict the Divine Encounter. Campbell maintains that fantasy works are inherently spiritual, because the plots nearly always progress toward a showdown between good and evil. As such, the author surmises that the popularity of fantasy among teens may represent their interest in the mystical dimensions of faith and the otherworldly. In this study, Campbell examines works of fiction that express perspectives from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism. Distinguished YA novelist Chris Crowe provides a chapter on Mormon values and Mormon YA authors and how their novels integrate those values into their books. By looking at how spirituality is represented in novels aimed at teens, this book asks what progress, if any, has been made in slaying the taboo. Although most of the books discussed in this study are recent, an appendix lists YA books from 1967 to the present that have dealt with issues of faith. A timely look at an important subject, Spirituality in Young Adult Literature will be of interest to young adult librarians, junior and senior high school teachers, and students and instructors of college courses in adolescent literature, as well as to parents of teens.

Download or read book Movie-Made Jews written by Helene Meyers and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Movie-Made Jews focuses on a rich, usable American Jewish cinematic tradition. This tradition includes fiction and documentary films that make Jews through antisemitism, Holocaust indirection, and discontent with assimilation. It prominently features the unapologetic assertion of Jewishness, queerness, and alliances across race and religion. Author Helene Meyers shows that as we go to our local theater, attend a Jewish film festival, play a DVD, watch streaming videos, Jewishness becomes part of the multicultural mosaic rather than collapsing into a generic whiteness or being represented as a life apart. This engagingly-written book demonstrates that a Jewish movie is neither just a movie nor for Jews only. With incisive analysis, Movie-Made Jews challenges the assumption that American Jewish cinema is a cinema of impoverishment and assimilation. While it’s a truism that Jews make movies, this book brings into focus the diverse ways movies make Jews.

Book Synopsis Diary of a Lonely Girl, or The Battle against Free Love by : Miriam Karpilove
Download or read book Diary of a Lonely Girl, or The Battle against Free Love written by Miriam Karpilove and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published serially in the Yiddish daily newspaper di Varhayt in 1916–18, Diary of a Lonely Girl, or The Battle against Free Love is a novel of intimate feelings and scandalous behaviors, shot through with a dark humor. From the perch of a diarist writing in first person about her own love life, Miriam Karpilove’s novel offers a snarky, melodramatic criticism of radical leftist immigrant youth culture in early twentieth-century New York City. Squeezed between men who use their freethinking ideals to pressure her to be sexually available and nosy landladies who require her to maintain her respectability, the narrator expresses frustration at her vulnerable circumstances with wry irreverence. The novel boldly explores issues of consent, body autonomy, women’s empowerment and disempowerment around sexuality, courtship, and politics. Karpilove immigrated to the United States from a small town near Minsk in 1905 and went on to become one of the most prolific and widely published women writers of prose in Yiddish. Kirzane’s skillful translation gives English readers long-overdue access to Karpilove’s original and provocative voice.
Book Synopsis Silent Answers by : Sebastian Costard
Download or read book Silent Answers written by Sebastian Costard and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book of short stories is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. Sebastian Costard's Silent Answers is a box of chocolates. I didn't read Costard's stories in the order you see here; I chose them randomly. It doesn't matter; each one was a new experience. I read The Triangle first and felt like a voyeur when a quirky woman entered the story and the life of a stressed attorney. Costard's twists and turns brought Kate Chopin's tales to mind. A story of coming to terms with death and lost friendships in Costard's Sarah's Folly might feel way too familiar for some readers. But the sweetness in this story gives hope to all who have gone through this kind of suffering. In his stories I traveled from France to Latvia to London to China to California to South Carolina and Georgia, Florida, and farther. It's a pleasure to read of places I've visited - or may never visit - and feel as though I were there. Costard has done the traveling for all of us and became steeped in the varied cultures. And because of his writing, I became engulfed in those same cultures as I immersed myself in each story. It's not only the traveling that drew me in. Each character was totally different from others I met throughout the book. Obviously Costard observes and understands human nature. Real people, real problems, but not so real solutions. Just like a box of chocolates, I never knew what I was going to get, but I knew from the first story I would be entertained. The next best thing to being entertained? Learning something. Hostile takeovers, Jewish religious holidays, American Indian history, French wine, Chinese culture, the goodness of caring neighbors - this and more I found inSebastian Costard's Silent Answers. Forrest Gump, your momma was a wise woman. Susan Polonus Mucha Author of Deadly Deception
