Book Synopsis Three Roses and a Thorn by : Rebecca M. Elizondo
Download or read book Three Roses and a Thorn written by Rebecca M. Elizondo and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Roses and a Thorn is the stunning debut of an innovative storyteller. It is the story of three generations of Latina women coming to terms with addictive behaviors, dysfunctional traits, and the representational similarities of being fatherless daughters. Rebecca M. Elizondo writes from the heart with an optimistic sarcasm; Alma, the grandmother, an uncompromising 89-year-old woman battling the final stages of Alzheimer’s who aims to make sure her tribe is taken care of after she dies. Esperanza, a carefree, optimistic force, also known as Hope, has diligently journaled her whole life including the struggles of caring for her and realizing her daughter will soon leave the nest. Gabriella, an outspoken, jovial young woman who brings laughter into everyday life must decide whether to begin a new start on a great opportunity as a journalist. From the time Hope was a child, Mother's Day was celebrated at the family beach house. In reminiscence, Alma recalls the days when she was raised in Mazatlán, Mexico, before immigrating with her five sons to the United States. Trying to reconcile what she believes about love her whole life with what she doesn’t know about why family secrets exist. Keeping this balance is essential for Hope when she navigates the inevitable of her mom’s illness and letting her daughter go simultaneously. A realization that they are all in this together will ultimately ensure the pain of the past and future. The turbulent cycle of inherited traits and life complications is dismantled when Rebecca depicts a family of women whose bond is impenetrable and is battling Alzheimer’s. It is through her work she has bridged the old and new, allowing a better understanding of what it means to be a Mexican woman, which is to confront adversity with strength and dignity.

Download or read book MANHATTAN: An Archaeology written by Eileen R. Tabios and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MANHATTAN: An Archaeology presents Eileen R. Tabios' latest innovative approach to poetry-making. In this book, she uses a diverse set of "artifacts" to excavate a version of New York City's historical birthplace. Artifacts include the unexpected and the ineffable to create a city only she can imagine-while they include a pearl necklace, piece of pineapple skin, yoga mat, black sateen, and bullet, the "objects" for perusal also range over moonlight, "withheld forgiveness," and duende. The result, too, is unexpected and ineffable: Poetry that delights and intrigues. Some receptive readers will wake from the book missing something they hadn't realized they missed, longing for something they hadn't realized they desired.

Book excerpt: One of the most beloved novels of all time, Colleen McCullough's magnificent saga of dreams, struggles, dark passions, and forbidden love in the Australian outback has enthralled readers the world over. The Thorn Birds is a chronicle of three generations of Clearys—an indomitable clan of ranchers carving lives from a beautiful, hard land while contending with the bitterness, frailty, and secrets that penetrate their family. It is a poignant love story, a powerful epic of struggle and sacrifice, a celebration of individuality and spirit. Most of all, it is the story of the Clearys' only daughter, Meggie, and the haunted priest, Father Ralph de Bricassart—and the intense joining of two hearts and souls over a lifetime, a relationship that dangerously oversteps sacred boundaries of ethics and dogma.

Book Synopsis Praying the Rosary Like Never Before by : Edward Sri
Download or read book Praying the Rosary Like Never Before written by Edward Sri and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you struggle with praying the rosary? Do you have trouble finding time, fighting distractions, or feeling like you’re just going through the motions to get it done? For some, the rosary can seem overwhelming or almost a chore, when in fact it is meant to be a simple prayer—a prayer that has been available for Christians for hundreds of years. This compelling book by Edward Sri offers practical suggestions that come from the rosary’s tradition to experience Jesus and Mary more in your prayer and easily incorporate it into your life. It will allow the rosary to become a perpetual companion through the seasons, important moments, and challenges we will inevitably face. These prompts will not only help those who need help with incorporating the rosary into their everyday life but also to those who are deeply attached to get their relationship deeper with the Lord. “Offering God, a decade or two in the midst of my daily life gives him something beautiful, even if I give it without my full, relaxed, undivided attention,” says Sri. “I’m giving God some space in my day and filling it with words of praise for him.” In this book, Sri takes what he did in The New Rosary in Scripture to a new level. As Catholics, we often have questions about prayer and don’t know how to go about getting answers. Praying the Rosary Like Never Before: Encounter the Wonder of Heaven and Earth helps to answer those questions. Some of the common questions are: What is the significance of the Hail Mary? Does the attention given to Mary distract us from focusing on God? What is the meaning of all the repetition in prayer? Where exactly did the rosary came from? What should we think about for each of the mysteries, and whether one should focus on the prayers or the mysteries? You will also find biblical reflections on the twenty mysteries of the rosary that provide practical insights to help you not only understand the twenty mysteries but also live them in your daily life. You will learn how the rosary is Christ-centered and receive group study questions for each chapter. It only takes a couple minutes each day to strengthen your relationship with God—that is the beauty of the rosary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Thorn of Glastonbury is the stuff that legends are made of. Stories grow on it like fruit and wrap around it like creepers. It’s a shape-shifter. It’s been Catholic, Protestant, Pagan, universal. It’s succoured royalty, loyalty, defiance and subversion. It’s been condemned as patriarchal and revered as a feminine spirit. It’s been harnessed by imperialists and peacemakers and nationalists and universalists. It’s stood for better times and better days. For Christmas cheer and better nature, for all trees and all nature, for peace and for hope. This book is the biography of a symbol. “surely the definitive work on its beloved and important subject” Ronald Hutton "permanently changes our understanding of the mutable mythos without undermining our heart-felt connection to it" Paul Weston "a gem of historical writing" Maria Nita, Material Religion "a coherent and gripping narrative" Charles Watkins, Journal of Historical Geography "If you care about Glastonbury's history, and the origins of its legends, you need this book" Yuri Leitch "utterly accessible, written with flow and humour, zest and zeal" Johanna van Fessem, Glastonbury Oracle "a fusion of critical acumen and human sympathy" Jeremy Harte, Fortean Times "an amazing story unfolds from a hugely impressive mass of sources" Robert Dunning, The Local Historian Adam Stout is a writer and historian, and has been a Visiting Research Fellow at the Universities of Wales, Leicester, Exeter and Southampton.

Book Synopsis Evocare: A Collection of Tanka by : Ayo Gutierrez
Download or read book Evocare: A Collection of Tanka written by Ayo Gutierrez and published by GMGA Publishing. This book was released on with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tanka, which translates to “short song,” is the lyrical, five-line poem that has historically served as the basic form of Japanese poetry. Despite its shifts in style over the centuries, tanka has remained a poem that captures the nuances of human experience by exploring the simultaneous simplicity and complexity found in nature, relationships, and situations. Evocare offers tankas of love and lust, solitude and togetherness, the familiar and the unfamiliar, hope and heartbreak, strength and weakness, among other themes. The authors leave room for readers to draw their own connections to the poems. Upon reading Evocare, I admired its sense of fluidity within structure, and depth in meaning within such simple, compressed form. Each tanka offers spiritual nourishment through practical teachings that are embedded in the lines. Some of what you will find in these pages are teachings that help us to cultivate a conscious awareness and acceptance of contrast: Nature is balance Between birth and death of all Demand and supply Too much birth brings extinction Too much death makes life grow strong. (Gutierrez) Ayo Gutierrez asserts that a balance is possible between contrasting realities. By using juxtaposition, she explores these notions of contrast and balance in other tankas, as well. In one poem, she tells of the powerful policeman who was once skinny and, presumably, powerless. In another, she highlights the difference between elevating above ground level and being on ground. Gutierrez teaches us to be aware of balance, changes that time can bring, dichotomies, and contrasting forces as we navigate through the complexities of life and living. There is, as well, much in these pages that helps us to bridge the past and the present: “If only bullets Could create peace, not make wars” A schoolchild once hoped This fantasy pays homage To the students as they march. (Tabios) Here, Eileen R. Tabios uses tanka to allude to a 2018 United States gun violence protest. Likewise, she uses tanka to refer to the Marvel universe. Tabios illustrates that modernity and tradition can interweave and hold hands. Her innovative approach to tanka is present in both content and style. In particular, Tabios introduces readers to her experimental tankas, including the “ducktail tanka” and the hay(na)ku. Her inventive tankas corroborate the fluidity of poetry while maintaining structure. These dualities between fluidity and structure, and past and present show that a deep connection between contrasting forces can generate new meaning, development, and understandings. In addition, the book reveals that we can find a wealth of lessons from experiences that have challenged our values or hurt us: Portrait 72: When things break apart Think back how He broke bread in Pieces to feed men; Sometimes, it takes broken heart To feed souls with great lessons. (Aene) Brian Cain Aene reminds us that pain can be transformed into power. Similar to Gutierrez and Tabios, Aene forges a connection between contrasting forces, namely the negative and the positive. Moreover, Aene’s tankas provide a sensory experience for readers, engaging the senses with insightful portraits about complex subjects that cannot be easily defined, such as home, love, and lust. An underlying theme in this collection of tankas is the power of connection. The following tankas, overall, manifest a connectedness between things that are unseen, but authentic—our feelings and evocations—with the observable world in which we live. The tankas in Evocare connected me back to my own beginnings as a poet. I was reminded of the loneliness and despair I felt as a teenager who was bullied and my reliance on poetry as a source of comfort. I used poetry as a means to understand my feelings and to transform all negative energy into strong, connective energy, weaving together words, symbols, feelings, and rhythms that empowered me. Poetry projects power and can touch the soul in myriad ways. I hope that the authors’ humble efforts in this book present you with profound mantras for living, inject you with a renewed passion for life and living, and instill within you a sense of connection to something that evokes feelings of comfort and empowerment. —Arienne L. Calingo
