Book Synopsis Where's Your Mama Gone? by : Kay O'Gorman
Download or read book Where's Your Mama Gone? written by Kay O'Gorman and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 1998-10-21 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How bad does it have to be for a mother to leave? It would have been easy to say that Kay O'Gorman just continued the cycle of her own neglect and abandonment, but she thought that too easy an excuse. It would have been easy to place the blame on her own traumatic childhood, on the early death of her mother, on her domineering but charismatic father. To escape this background, she married early but, like many such marriages, it was not a happy union. She hoped that children would change things, but they did not. Her circumstances grew ever more desperate. Kay fled. She formed a new relationship, but her sense of guilt at having abandoned her children oppressed her to the point that she herself developed problems with alcohol. It took a long time, but finally she sorted out her life. In Where's Your Mama Gone? she writes with unflinching truth about her past and the motivations for her actions. It recalls an Ireland of casual cruelty, all-powerful authority figures, sexual ignorance and non-existent choice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cornelius Alexander Anderson Jr., a.k.a. the Deuce, is the privileged only son of the president of an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). He is the darling of his prominent family with his life completely planned and directed by the family. He is not even allowed to choose the woman he must marry in order to produce the expected heir to carry on the prominent line. Through his own grit and determination, he becomes a well-known professional basketball player. The renown and wealth that comes from his skill and talent in his chosen profession is never accepted by his family as worthy. It is not surprising that his family views his eventual choice of a companion for himself the same way. Elaine Drummond is a young woman who has never really known who she is, although she has always been aware of what society dictates for her. She has grown up knowing that she must keep to her place. Something inside of her makes her rebel against her dictatorial mother who claims to want to keep her safe by keeping her away from the harsh experiences that the world always gives to girls like her. Elaine cannot let herself trust. She knows better than to hope or believe. It is no surprise that devastating fireworks are the result of their meeting. There is no way to avoid the hand of fate. Someone will surely learn thats how heartaches are made.

Book excerpt: One October night in 1975 Richard, aged five, was alone in the house with his three sisters. It was 3am and their mother hadn't come home yet. Next morning, the police arrived to take the children away. Their mother had become the first victim of a serial killer soon to become known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper'. Passed from one violent home to another, the children were forgotten by all except the press. As the salacious headlines multiplied, Richard and his sisters were never able to recover from their mother's murder. Whilst Richard tried to handle the terror of his violent upbringing, his sister struggled to deal with memories of sexual abuse. Without love or support they spiralled away from help or happiness. Then one day Richard McCann, having reached suicidal rock bottom, decided no one was going to rescue their lives but him. It was the beginning of an inspirational transformation. Now he is able to tell the story of how the forgotten children of violence suffer, and how they can heal. A heartbreaking, uplifting story of survival and hope.
Book Synopsis The Dry Grass of August by : Anna Jean Mayhew
Download or read book The Dry Grass of August written by Anna Jean Mayhew and published by Kensington Publishing Corporation. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this beautifully written debut, Anna Jean Mayhew offers a riveting depiction of Southern life in the throes of segregation, what it will mean for a young girl on her way to adulthood—and for the woman who means the world to her . . . On a scorching day in August 1954, thirteen-year-old Jubie Watts leaves Charlotte, North Carolina, with her family for a Florida vacation. Crammed into the Packard along with Jubie are her three siblings, her mother, and the family’s black maid, Mary Luther. For as long as Jubie can remember, Mary has been there—cooking, cleaning, compensating for her father’s rages and her mother’s benign neglect, and loving Jubie unconditionally. Bright and curious, Jubie takes note of the anti-integration signs they pass, and of the racial tension that builds as they journey further south. But she could never have predicted the shocking turn their trip will take. Now, in the wake of tragedy, Jubie must confront her parents’ failings and limitations, decide where her own convictions lie, and make the tumultuous leap to independence . . . Infused with the intensity of a changing time, here is a story of hope, heartbreak, and the love and courage that can transform us—from child to adult, from wounded to indomitable.

Book Synopsis The Early Years Professional's Complete Companion 2nd edn by : Pam Jarvis
Download or read book The Early Years Professional's Complete Companion 2nd edn written by Pam Jarvis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully updated to reflect the changes to the Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) qualification, this second edition remains the essential handbook to support all those considering or working towards EYPS and on whichever pathway they embark. Organised into three parts, the text starts by leading you through the initial requirements for entry to the programme, providing an overview of the different pathways. It goes on to focus on the standards against which all EYP candidates are tested, and then finally looks at the new validation process and beyond. Although closely linked to the standards required for EYPS, and their relationship with the Early Years Foundation Stage, the book is not a standard-by-standard manual; it supports you in developing an organic, holistic perspective on childcare and education, combining practical skills with knowledge development. The text includes case studies based on real practice scenarios, ideas for practical activities, further reading, reflection, interviews and advice from EYPS candidates who have successfully negotiated the validation process.

Book Synopsis Cousin Joe by : Pleasant "Cousin Joe" Joseph
Download or read book Cousin Joe written by Pleasant "Cousin Joe" Joseph and published by Pelican Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable blend of history and drama seen through the eyes of a noted New Orleans bluesman. This extraordinary life history is the result of more than 15 years of recorded conversations, pieced together into a narrative of a uniquely American experience. Joseph's colorful portrayals of the characters who parade through his life document more than 70 years of changing relationships between blacks and whites. In his own words, he describes growing up in Louisiana, working a rice plantation, and how Gospel music put him on a career path. His candid remarks underscore the economic necessity prevalent in a musician's life. Within the tales of gigs, card games, and romantic exploits are intimate glimpses of legendary figures, including Billie Holiday and Muddy Waters. His descriptions of performing in New Orleans, New York, and Europe are especially revealing, filled with life experiences as rich as the rhythm and lyrics of the blues he played.

Book Synopsis Disaster Preparedness by : Heather Havrilesky
Download or read book Disaster Preparedness written by Heather Havrilesky and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-12-30 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Smart, hilarious, unique-- just terrific." --Anne Lamott A thoughtful, witty memoir from the author of How to Be a Person in the World and the popular advice column, Ask Polly. When Heather Havrilesky was a kid during the '70s, harrowing disaster films dominated every movie screen with earthquakes that destroyed huge cities, airplanes that plummeted towards the ground and giant sharks that ripped teenagers to shreds. Between her parents' dramatic clashes and her older siblings' hazing, Heather's home life sometimes mirrored the chaos onscreen. Disaster Preparedness charts how the most humiliating and painful moments in Havrilesky's past forced her to develop a wide range of defense mechanisms, some adaptive, some piteously ill-suited to modern life. From premature boxing lessons to the competitive grooming of cheerleading camp, from her parents' divorce to her father's sudden death, Havrilesky explores a path from innocence and optimism to self-protection and caution, bravely reexamining the injuries that shaped her, the lessons that sunk in along the way, and the insights that carried her through. Disaster Preparedness is a road map to the personal disasters we all face from an irresistible voice that gets straight to the beauty and grace at the heart of every calamity.
