She now leads a solitary life teaching piano, and she has a star student: Graciela, the daughter of her mother’s Mexican housekeeper. Camille has been grooming the young Graciela for the career that she herself lost out on, and now Graciela, newly turned eighteen, has just won the grand prize in a piano competition, which means she gets to perform with the LA Philharmonic. Camille is ecstatic; if she can’t play herself, at least as Graciela’s teacher, she will finally get the recognition she deserves. But there are only two weeks left before the concert, and Graciela has disappeared—gone back to her family’s village in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Desperate to bring Graciela back in time for the concert, Camille goes after her, but on the way there, a bus accident leaves her without any of her possessions. Alone and unable to speak the language, Camille is befriended by Alejandro, a Zapotec man who lives in LA but is from the same village as Graciela. Despite a contentious first meeting, Alejandro helps Camille navigate the rugged terrain and unfamiliar culture of Oaxaca, allowing her the opportunity to view the world in a different light—and perhaps find love in the process.

His sudden decision to drop out of college and del with his demons shocks his family, his friends, and especially his girlfriend, soon to have been his fiancee. His destination: Liberia - The richest country in Africa both in monetary wealth and in natural resources. NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED HIM FOR THE EXPERIENCES HE WAS ABOUT TO LIVE THORUGH. Ken quickly realizes that he has arrived in a place where he understands very little of what is considered normal, where the dignity of life has little meaning, and where he can trust no one. Flying into the interior bush as a transport piolot, Ken learns quickly. He witnesses, first-hand, the disparate lives of the Liberian "Country People? and the "Congo People" also known as Americo-Liberians. These descendants of President Monroe's American Colonization Policy that sent freed slaves back to Africa in the 1800's have set up a strict hierarchical society not unlike the antebellum South.

Struggling to pay his rent, Ishmael is obliged to undertake one of his most dreaded tasks: teach a summer creative writing class.

Book Synopsis Everywhere She's Not by : Jr. N. John Shore
Download or read book Everywhere She's Not written by Jr. N. John Shore and published by . This book was released on 2019-03 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's 1979 in San Francisco. David is a lost young man living in a seaside motel recently rescued from dilapidation by his friend Jerald. Jerald is also close friends with Kate, the woman David loves. David has recently destroyed the life that he and Kate had just spent two years building together in Southern California--a life that meant everything to them both. He has no idea why he did the terrible thing he did. All he knows is that he's appalled he did it, that he wants Kate back, and that, perhaps above all, he needs to understand how he could have done such a thing, if only to ensure that he never does it again. David has an almost freakishly well-developed sense of humor; to talk with him is to laugh with him. His childhood, however? Not so much with the funny. Everywhere She's Not is about the crazy-making intensity of true love. It's about the slow-release toxicity of dysfunctional families. It's about that wretched and persistent internal something that bends us away from intimacy and acceptance, and toward isolation and alienation. It's about how rewarding it can be, in and of itself, to keep hoping when you know there's no hope left at all. At one point it's even about mind-melding one's way through an actual locked door. And ax-murderers on vacation. And Cornish game hens playing lawn darts. And helping your best friend pretend he isn't gay, so that his ex-wife won't take away his child visitation rights. Everywhere She's Not is about one man facing what was, so he can handle what is, so he can finally make, for himself, what will be."--Jacket flap.
Book Synopsis Candy Floss Collection by : Patricia Leavy
Download or read book Candy Floss Collection written by Patricia Leavy and published by Social Fictions. This book was released on 2020 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Candy Floss Collection is a set of three previously released, bestselling novels: Low-Fat Love, Blue, and Film. Together these novels create an overarching message about what it truly means to live a "big life" and the kinds of relationships we need with others and ourselves along the way. This is not a trilogy. This collection can be understood as installation art. Written with humor, cultural insight, and a wink, we follow each female protagonist and cast of offbeat characters as they search for love, friendship, and a sense of self. The characters must learn to mind the gap between their lives as they are and as they wish them to be, to chase their dreams even as they stumble on their insecurities, and to never settle for low-fat love. Along the way, characters are imaged in the glow of television and movie screens, their own stories shaped and illuminated by the stories in pop culture. Set in contemporary New York and Los Angeles, with special tributes to 1980s pop culture, each book questions and celebrates the ever-changing cultural landscape against which we live our stories, frame by frame. Candy Floss Collection can be read entirely for pleasure or used as supplemental reading in a variety of courses in women's studies/gender studies, sociology, psychology, communication, popular culture, media studies, or qualitative inquiry. The book includes further engagement for class or book club use"--
