Описание:

After nine and a half years of recovery, Sara had built a successful life for herself and her daughter. A life they both found rewarding, exciting, and prosperous. Until the day she relapsed into an uncontrollable addiction.

An eighteen-month drug run came crashing to an end in the back of a police car, with Sara in shackles and handcuffs. She was sent to the county jail where she had a million-dollar bail and was facing over a dozen serious felony charges. Not knowing if she would be spending the coming years of her life as an inmate in a state prison, Sara was inspired to create this personal memoir.

"One evening early on, I heard a voice clearly speaking to me, 'Prepare your heart to receive my gift.' I cannot explain how I recognized the voice of God. I simply knew that I was to embark upon a journey illuminated by revelation and marked by agony and ecstasy. Alone and secluded in the darkness of confinement, I committed to embark upon the path ahead."

Sara's real-life account affirms that addiction is deadly, progressive, and incurable. Her experience also proves that there is a solution called recovery. Sara details both in an intensely moving memoir.

Описание: The enfranchisement of women in Charles de Gaulle's France in 1944 is considered a potent element in the nation's self-crafted, triumphant World War Two narrative: the French, conquered by the Germans, valiantly resisted until they rescued themselves and built a new democracy, honoring France's longstanding liberal traditions. Kelly Ricciardi Colvin's Gender and French Identity after the Second World War, 1944-1954 calls that potent element into question.

By analyzing a range of sources, including women's magazines, trials, memoirs, and spy novels, this book explores the ways in which culture was used to limit the power of the female vote. It exposes a wide network of constructed behavioral norms that supported a conservative vision of French identity. Taken together, they depicted men as virile Resistors for French democracy and history, and women as solely domestic support. Indeed Colvin shows that women's access to the vote emerged alongside an explosion of cultural messages that encouraged them to retreat into the home, to find mates, to have 'millions of beautiful babies', in the words of de Gaulle, and not to challenge patriarchy in any way.

This is a vital study for understanding the nature of postwar France and women's history in 20th-century Europe.

Описание:

A ferociously talented writer makes his stunning debut with this richly woven tapestry, set in a small Nova Scotia town settled by former slaves, that depicts several generations of one family bound together and torn apart by blood, faith, time, and fate.

Vogue: Best Books to Read This Winter

Structured as a triptych, Africaville chronicles the lives of three generations of the Sebolt family--Kath Ella, her son Omar/Etienne, and her grandson Warner--whose lives unfold against the tumultuous events of the twentieth century from the Great Depression of the 1930s, through the social protests of the 1960s to the economic upheavals in the 1980s.

A century earlier, Kath Ella's ancestors established a new home in Nova Scotia. Like her ancestors, Kath Ella's life is shaped by hardship--she struggles to conceive and to provide for her family during the long, bitter Canadian winters. She must also contend with the locals' lingering suspicions about the dark-skinned "outsiders" who live in their midst.

Kath Ella's fierce love for her son, Omar, cannot help her overcome the racial prejudices that linger in this remote, tight-knit place. As he grows up, the rebellious Omar refutes the past and decides to break from the family, threatening to upend all that Kath Ella and her people have tried to build. Over the decades, each successive generation drifts further from Africaville, yet they take a piece of this indelible place with them as they make their way to Montreal, Vermont, and beyond, to the deep South of America.

As it explores notions of identity, passing, cross-racial relationships, the importance of place, and the meaning of home, Africaville tells the larger story of the black experience in parts of Canada and the United States. Vibrant and lyrical, filled with colorful details, and told in a powerful, haunting voice, this extraordinary novel--as atmospheric and steeped in history as The Known World, Barracoon, The Underground Railroad, and The Twelve Tribes of Hattie--is a landmark work from a sure-to-be major literary talent.
