This book was released on 2006 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regina's Secret Spaces: Love and Lore of Local Geography is an anthology of essays and poems by eighty writers, artists, architects, musicians, patrons of the arts, and cultural theorists who were inspired by and answered the call of editors Lorne Beug, Anne Campbell and Jeannie Mah to share their favourite "Regina secret." Some submissions were quirky and whimsical, delighting in those things -- small, yet significant -- which bring joy and connect us to the place we live; others were more serious and more theoretical, examining power structures -- both past and present -- and how these have shaped and are yet shaping the city. Reflective, engaging and insightful, all express an abiding fondness for the city of Regina.

Book excerpt: "Quiet As It's Kept" weaves a tangled web of deception as secrets, lies, and lust bring troubling consequences to the everyday lives of an African-American family. Author Janet West-Sellars paints a picture of powerful patriarch James Alexander Scott, who desperately takes all of his secrets to the grave. Scott's best friend, Dr. Edward Marshall, is the only person who knows those secrets. Scott's three adult children are nothing short of relieved when they learn of his death. They are all living out his legacy in varying degrees: to always distrust, to never commit, and to get revenge at all costs. His oldest daughter, Shirley, uses her body to gain power. His only son, Terry, struggles against the past and worries about the child he raised alone. The youngest daughter, Zee, is rejected by Scott, while he is haunted by the painful suspicion that she is not really his daughter. The death of Scott's wife more than forty years ago was inextricably connected to his own mortality. The Scott family learns about life, love, and the hope of redemption. They ultimately discover that forgiveness heals old wounds, but not before what's done in the dark comes to light in "Quiet As It's Kept."
Book Synopsis The Dearly Departed by : Elinor Lipman
Download or read book The Dearly Departed written by Elinor Lipman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2002-08-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her trademark humor and warmth, the beloved author of The Ladies' Man and The Inn at Lake Devine explores going home again; about finding light in the dark corners of one's inhospitable past; about love, golf, and DNA. Everyone in King George, New Hampshire, loved Margaret Batten, part-time amateur actress, full-time wallflower, and single mother to a now-distant daughter, Sunny. But accidents happen. The death of Margaret, side by side with her putative fiancé, brings Sunny back to the scene of the unhappy adolescence she thought she’d left behind. Reentry is to be dreaded; there’s no hiding in a town with one diner, one doctor, one stop sign, one motel. Yet allies surface; even high school tormentors have grown up in unforeseen and gratifying ways. Just possibly, Sunny begins to think, she wasn’t as beleaguered as she felt she was. And maybe her mother’s life was richer than anyone suspected. Add to the mix a chief of police whose interest in Sunny exceeds his civic duty, and you have the makings of an irresistibly beguiling tale from an author who writes with all the wit and wry authority of a latter-day Jane Austen.

Book Synopsis We Who Walk the Seven Ways by : Terra Trevor
Download or read book We Who Walk the Seven Ways written by Terra Trevor and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Who Walk the Seven Ways is Terra Trevor's memoir about seeking healing and finding belonging. After she endured a difficult loss, a circle of Native women elders embraced and guided Trevor (Cherokee, Lenape, Seneca, and German) through the seven cycles of life in Indigenous ways. Over three decades, these women lifted her from grief, instructed her in living, and showed her how to age from youth into beauty. With tender honesty, Trevor explores how every end is always a beginning. Her reflections on the deep power of women's friendship, losing a child, reconciling complicated roots, and finding richness in every stage of life show that being an American Indian with a complex lineage is not about being part something, but about being part of something.

Book Synopsis Regina of Warsaw: Love, Loss and Liberation by : Geri Spieler
Download or read book Regina of Warsaw: Love, Loss and Liberation written by Geri Spieler and published by Speaking Volumes. This book was released on with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Real Events Regina Anuszewicz looked forward to visiting her sister in Bialystok for a late afternoon stroll along the Bialy River. It was June 1906, and it should have been an exciting time to stay overnight in the women's boarding house. However, a violent pogrom blasted those plans as a rage of violence shook the town and Regina's hopes. Russian soldiers swarmed the streets and homes, stomping up to her sister's boarding house, forcing Regina to hide inside the wardrobe, barely able to breathe as she heard screams and people begging for their lives. The trauma of that day shaped Regina's life and every decision she made as she moved through the days and years, coloring her approach to every event that took her from Poland to the United States and the four children she sought to protect. "Pogroms rip at the hearts and minds of all of us, yet the stories of those who fought for survival must continue to be told. In Regina’s story, seen through the revelations of her granddaughter, Spieler takes the reader through an intimate look at Regina’s trials and travails and reveals the consequences of her decisions that impacted the generations that followed. A triumph for the soul!" –Carole Bumpus, Author

Download or read book Apocalypse Child written by Flor Edwards and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first thirteen years of her life, Flor Edwards grew up in the Children of God. The group's nomadic existence was based on the belief that, as God's chosen people, they would be saved in the impending apocalypse that would envelop the rest of the world in 1993. Flor would be thirteen years old. The group's charismatic leader, Father David, kept the family on the move, from Los Angeles to Bangkok to Chicago, where they would eventually disband, leaving Flor to make sense of the foreign world of mainstream society around her. Apocalypse Child is a cathartic journey through Flor's memories of growing up within a group with unconventional views on education, religion, and sex. Whimsically referring to herself as a real life Kimmy Schmidt, Edwards's clear-eyed memoir is a story of survival in a childhood lived on the fringes.

Book excerpt: “A story of murder and revenge . . . Outstandingly well paced and tightly plotted, the novel also stands out in its handling of various psychological themes.”—Booklist Eerily attuned to one another, twins Regina and Renata are so identical that even their mother can’t tell them apart. Then tragedy strikes: a vicious attack leaves one twin dead and the other so traumatized that she turns totally inward, incapable of telling anyone what happened or even who she is. She remains lost to the world, until the day Mark, a family friend, comes to visit—and the young woman utters her first intelligible word. As she recovers, still with no memory of the past, her nightmares grow steadily more frightful, followed by wild fits of hysteria and dark mood swings. Her strange outbursts seem to coincide with the grisly serial murders that have begun plaguing Seattle. Could she be the killer? Determined to dispel his suspicion, Mark stakes out her home. The unholy sight he witnesses one night will haunt his soul for the rest of his life. . . .
