Book Synopsis Unbolting the Dark, A Memoir by : Lynne Spellman
Download or read book Unbolting the Dark, A Memoir written by Lynne Spellman and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unbolting the Dark, A Memoir traces the author''s psychological and spiritual journey at midlife to understand the profound impact of her mother''s death. This inward search becomes an actual journey that includes nine months in England at the University of Cambridge, six months at a monastery in Switzerland, and a year and a half in seminary in New York City as she prepares for ordination as an Episcopal priest. This reflective and inspiring book draws on the author''s extensive knowledge of philosophy in classical and late antiquity to explore the pagan and Christian Platonist tradition of turning inward as a way of knowing God. As Spellman uncovers what she did not previously know about herself, she also discovers the presence of a goodness and love that transcends us all.
Book Synopsis Unafraid of the Dark by : Rosemary Bray
Download or read book Unafraid of the Dark written by Rosemary Bray and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1999-03-16 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her deeply affecting, vividly written memoir, Rosemary L. Bray describes with remarkable frankness growing up poor in Chicago in the 1960s, and her childhood shaped by welfare, the Roman Catholic Church, and the civil rights movement. Bray writes poignantly of her lasting dread of the cold and the dark that characterized her years of poverty; of her mother's extraordinary strength and resourcefulness; and of the system that miraculously enabled her mother to scrape together enough to keep the children fed and clothed. Bray's parents, held together by their ambitions for their children and painfully divided by their poverty, punctuate young Rosemary's nights with their violent fights and define her days with their struggles. This powerful, ultimately inspiring book is a moving testimony of the history Bray overcame, and the racial obstacles she continues to see in her children's way.

Book excerpt: Dark Souvenirs is the story of a young woman whose childhood was spent struggling to cope with severe sexual and psychological abuse. Bullied by students and teachers alike, and unable to understand what set her apart, she survived day by day trying to placate the monsters around her. Part unapologetic memoir and part insightful commentary, the author focuses on the lesser known emotional ramifications of abuse, sharing extensively on her experiences in the public schools, both as a student and later, as a teacher. Through her eyes, we witness not only the ravages of abuse, but also the indomitableness of the human spirit.“This gripping account of one woman's abuse will emotionally challenge all readers and leave them forever changed. The courage to survive, the will to excel, and the triumph over traumatic abuse are an inspiration to everyone and will change the way we view both children and adults. This book is a "must read" for all educators, parents, and mental health professionals.” - Janet Pladson, Ed.D. - Cornerstone Center for victims of domestic violence, former assistant superintendent of the Bloomington, MN school district.

Book excerpt: "For readers of Alan Cumming's Not My Father's Son comes a heart-wrenching memoir that interrogates an abusive father and his dark legacy. Children who experience physical, mental, and emotional trauma at the hands of a parent often grow into adults who suffer from mental illness and find it difficult to build lasting, healthy relationships. Some find it impossible to integrate into society and are constantly searching for the love and approval that they never received as a child. The abuse impacts all aspects of the survivor's life. In his new memoir, Brent LaPorte asks his dead father questions that will never be answered. Unatoned not only explores the dark nature of LaPorte's father, but the darkness that has, at times, enveloped him, too. In confronting life choices that have hurt those around him, he asks: is it possible to break the cycle of a violent, alcoholic family history and live a life that is productive, loving and, above all, happy? In exploring the challenges of his youth, married life, and careers, LaPorte lays bare failings and triumphs, sharing pain and struggle to ultimately tell readers: none of us are alone. This is not a "self-help" book, rather the story of a man's request for atonement for sins past. His father's -- and his own."--
Book Synopsis Paths of Darkness by : Dr. Charles Williams
Download or read book Paths of Darkness written by Dr. Charles Williams and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2003 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paths of Darkness is an explosive, shocking memoir indicting child abuse, poverty and violence. This is the true story of a scared eight-year-old black child's struggles to survive amid hunger, poverty, and squalor of the Appalachian coalfields and mining camps of West Virginia. He lived with his beautiful mother, already a hopeless alcoholic, who was dying from whiskey poisoning. The young boy, with his two younger sisters and a baby brother, trailed along with Mama and the men in her life from one camp shanty to another, from one whisky bottle to another. Abuse, neglect, violence, death, and starvation were all he knew. It was this struggle which he finally conquered -- that eventually earned him the nickname of "Scrap Iron." The horrifying existence compelled him to write this inspiring memoir about "just another nigger," lost in the toughness of those dirty camps until he escaped his own paths of darkness to become a decorated military hero, earn a doctorate degree, and attained membership in Mensa.
