Описание: In 1990, the ground-breaking television series Twin Peaks, co-created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, opened with a murder mystery when a beautiful homecoming queen, wrapped in plastic, washed up on a cold and rocky beach. Laura Palmers character began as a plot device that triggered a small town to face its fractured self. But after three seasons and a film, Laura Palmer is no longer just a plot device. Instead of solely focusing on the murderer, like most traditional storytelling at the time, the audience gets to know the victim, a complex young woman who explores her sexuality and endures incredible abuse. This is an examination of Laura Palmers legacy on the 30th anniversary of Twin Peaks. Palmers character was one of the few frank and horrific representations of sexual abuse victims which did not diminish the strength and complexity of the victim. Sheryl Lee, who played Laura Palmer, discusses the challenges of the role and how it has impacted herself as well as women she has met over the years, many of whom are survivors of sexual abuse. The role demanded that Lee give all her vulnerability as an actor to this role. This role is one she cannot escape, one with which she will forever be identified. It was a role that still haunts her today. For many women, this character represents them. Here was a woman who was not just a victim, but who was owning her sexuality as well -- a woman coming into her own and discovering her sources of power. This book is a reckoning in which women from the show and community speak about grief, mischief, humour, sexuality, strength, weakness, wickedness, and survival.

Описание: In Baring Witness, Holly Welker and thirty-six Mormon women write about devotion and love and luck, about the wonder of discovery, and about the journeys, both thorny and magical, to humor, grace, and contentment. They speak to a diversity of life experiences: what happens when one partner rejects Church teachings; marrying outside one's faith; the pain of divorce and widowhood; the horrors of spousal abuse; the hard journey from visions of an idealized marriage to the everyday truth; sexuality within Mormon marriage; how the pressure to find a husband shapes young women's actions and sense of self; and the ways Mormon belief and culture can influence second marriages and same-sex unions. The result is an unflinching look at the earthly realities of an institution central to Mormon life.

Описание: That Little Girl has a Mind of her Own is a memoir about the adventures of a spirited young lass, just three generations from the Emerald Isle, growing up in a small village in Upstate New York, in the 1950's. The book is a series of vignettes that share with the reader the trials and tribulations, the heartbreak and disappointments, and the triumphs of a young, precocious child as she confronts life's challenges. The story travels on a timeline beginning in the early 1900's and follows the family from the coal mines of Pennsylvania to the tiny village of Watkins Glen, New York. The story meanders through three generations of culture and customs, food and family and many a bump along the way. Hopefully, this book will enlighten the young among us about how life use to be. Generations who remember nothing about gathering around a giant box of a radio after dinner or running after the ice truck on a hot summer day, or of milk being delivered by a wagon drawn by a real live horse, or hours spent rocking on your grandmother's lap on her front porch. And for those readers who do remember, well that's what I am hoping for. I am hoping that this book will bring back memories of your childhood and the way things used to be
