Book excerpt: "Fifty-year-old Robin Rowe returns to Dhaka, Bangladesh, her first visit since she was an exchange student there in 1970. The country, then East Pakistan, was on the brink of the war that led to its independence from Pakistan. Robin was repatriated just as the violence erupted, and as a result of the conflict, lost touch with her friends, and the Chowdhury family with whom she boarded that year. On her return visit, Robin discovers a shocking truth about her legacy in the country. A well-intentioned act she carried out ? thwarting an arranged marriage ? has resulted in disastrous consequences: suicide, torture and the disappearance of the beloved Luna Chowdhury. Overwhelmed with this news, she returns home to Salt Spring Island, BC to find the roof of her house has collapsed. As she deals with the reconstruction, she must come to terms with the consequences of her act in Bangladesh, as well as other unresolved parts of her life: the unexpected loss of her husband, Graham, a decade earlier, and her estranged relationship with her adult daughter, Surinder. Making peace with her mistakes and accepting the uncertainty of her future requires her understanding first the part she has played in the conflicts in her own life, and then becoming willing to engage with a world that is complex, unpredictable and sometimes as stubborn as Robin herself."

Book Synopsis Sins of the Innocent by : Mireille Marokvia
Download or read book Sins of the Innocent written by Mireille Marokvia and published by Unbridled Books. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her first memoir—Immortelles: Memoir of a Will-o’-the-Wisp—Mireille Marokvia described her life growing up in a small village near Chartres, France, in the first decades of the 20th Century. We learned in that beautiful book that the people in her life so long past still live like ghosts in her memory. This extraordinarily sensitive and assured writer brings that same dear voice and sharp vision to bear in her new book. But Sins of the Innocent covers the most difficult years of her life. From Paris in 1939, a young Mireille follows her artist husband, Abel, when he returns to Germany to care for his mother. Once Hitler begins his invasions across Europe the displaced couple must find a way to survive the war in a country they both consider foreign. Abel finally takes work, but it requires extensive travel through the war zones, and so Mireille is left essentially alone. With France lost to her, and horribly misfit in wartime Germany, suspected by her neighbors of spying for the Allies, Mireille has to define a life for herself, a life that is as quiet as possible in a dangerous world. Sins of the Innocent is a lyrical portrait of those harsh years, infused with doubt, anger, and the author’s love of life. These were the years in which Mireille learned the difference between quiet persistence and courage—during WWII in Europe, a time when so many had to find their own small places in history. It was the era that determined who Mireille Marokvia was—and who she still is. Read Mireille Marokvia’s account of the making of the manuscript in “History of a Story.”

Thank you for your time in helping inform others of the downfalls that can arise by associating with 'con-men'." --Don Keller, Sgt., Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Department "A measuring stick or barometer for all students - female or male - to use when it comes to fraud." --Robert Bennett, Student Affairs Director, Southern University, Baton Rouge, LA. --"It is not often that real-life is like an intense crime drama, but that's exactly what you'll find in Prayers of the Innocent. True Innocence meets true Evil between its covers, and a mother's heart follows it all." --King Hoover, Host/Books in Review, CCTV CH-31, Fort Worth, TX "A story every parent, student, college and university staff member should read; a real page-turner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin is a police officer and his wife Carla is a school teacher, whose roles complement each others, and blends with their opposite functions; Kevin’s role is to maintain law and order in his community and in the streets he polices, while Carla’s role is to maintain learning and behavioral discipline among her young students in her classroom. Douglas, and Lydia are Carla’s parents. Their function in their community is compatible with each other, where Douglas, a mail clerk, and Lydia, a nurse, made positive contribution to their family and friends, until sadly, Lydia suffered a severe stroke and had a fall that left her a quadriplegic. After which, Douglas assumed the sad role of comforting his wife Lydia with his flashback narrative about the good times they had during their marriage. He recounts their yearly vacation abroad, as he tries to draw her attention to that happy time, compared to her stay in a nursing home, hoping she would get well of her serious injury. Kevin and his wife, Carla could not have known that they would become the victims of a viscous crime that took place before their front door. They thought it would be a happy home coming from their second honeymoon, and not be the victims of a car highjack. Kevin agonized later over his violent reaction to the car hijacker, Caprice, with his family’s antagonism to law and order of which Kevin had to deal with throughout the story, until the Caprice got his comeuppance in a failed robbery attempt. He has to cope with Caprice’s friends, as he does with his relatives, whose illegal behavior drew his police authority in the community. Kevin and Carla Brown are not as innocent of their past, as they are apprehensive of their future and their need to succeed. They function as authority figures, where Kevin, a police officer, controls and regulates the illegal behavior of lawbreakers. His job is to police the law breaker’s antagonism toward his community and to society, by illegal actions that preceded the youth’s hostility to the learning discipline in the classroom, misbehavior that leaks out into the community, and to the greater society. Kevin’s job then is to uphold the lawful function of society, by bringing such lawbreakers to justice. Carla grieved with her father over her mother, Lydia’s serious injury that left her a quadriplegic. Her support of her father revealed to Douglas, how essential his daughter had become to him maintaining his equilibrium during her mother’s nursing home confinement. She consoles him while he reminisces about his life with her mother and the good times they and their New York, travel, group, enjoyed on their yearly vacation trips abroad. They enjoyed a good life, until, his wife, Lydia’s tragic injury cut short their comfortable life style. Douglas, who worked as a Postal Worker, and Lydia, a Registered Nurse, made their living providing a service to the public. Carla knew that most parents entrust her with their children to educate them as she is to monitor their behavior and learning skills. She saw herself held responsible by parents for their grown-up actions in the classroom as she is with their learning from her what is good and what is not, and teaches them how to learn. Her job as teacher often conflicts with students who are experiencing the wonder and mystery of their raging hormones that inhibit her supervision of them. Yet she persists to instruct and guide students to a learning discipline as grounding for their future. If she achieves this, it will make her husband, Kevin’s role as a police officer, easier, if not, unnecessary. Kevin’s job, as a police officer, equips, him to coral lawbreakers and brings them to justice by detaining them and put them in custody of the law. It haunts him, nevertheless, whenever he has to arrest young “Innocents” who have assumed the role of the “Damned," because of their antagonism to the rule of law. They have become sucked into breaking th
