Описание: Chronicles an extraordinary mother-daughter relationship that spans distance, time, and, eventually, debilitating illness. Personal, familial, and political narratives unfold through the letters that Geeske Venema-de Jong and her daughter exchanged during the late 1980s and through their weekly conversations.
Mary Anne's story is both ordinary and extraordinary. Ordinary because she was searching for the same things many of us search for: love, understanding and purpose; and extraordinary because she had to go through hell to find them.
Her life was turbulent. Born in a decaying northern town to a dysfunctional family in the 1960s, Mary Anne had to endure mental, physical and sexual abuse and cope with the devastating effects of parental alcoholism and suicide. She had her self-esteem and confidence crushed by two disastrous marriages and she lives with the emotional and physical scars caused by a surgical procedure which has become the medical scandal of our age: mesh implants. But, despite everything, she always remained determined to endure and to find something better.
The Grace of a Nightingale is a brilliantly heartfelt odyssey of survival. Even in her darkest moments, Mary Anne's courage and faith, combined with her passionate appreciation of beauty in nature, books and music, bring glimpses of light and hope. On her journey through life, she is supported by her 'mat carriers', both friends and strangers, helping her to triumph over adversity. And, like all the best stories, there is a happy ending.

Описание: Two Winters is a novel about the aftermath of "The Event" that has invaded the far North. This "event" has been prophesied by an Inupiat prophet who lived during the 1800s. He is revered and trusted as a prophet and there is a renewed interest in his accurate predictions. An account of a group of survivors, Two Winters takes place on the Spit at Homer, Alaska. The Inupiat cultural practice of "village speak," spoken by those whose first language is not English, is woven into the story, adding a significant and authentic cultural element to the narrative. Set against real facts about Alaska and Native Alaskans, readers will be delighted to follow the struggles and dilemmas of a group of survivors who are forced to fight.
Автор: Marcos McPeek Villatoro Название: Speak of It: A Memoir ISBN: 0826365329 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780826365323 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 23370.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In Speak of It, Marcos McPeek Villatoro explores how he channeled his Latino roots to come to terms with the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a relative in his home in Appalachia, and he recounts his ensuing struggle with trauma and mental illness.
The son of a Salvadoran mother and Scotch Irish mechanic father, Marcos spent much of his life trying to break away from his Southern Appalachian past and the trauma experienced there and striving to get closer to his Salvadoran heritage. His journey includes steeping himself in the Spanish language and Latin American literature, especially the work of Gabriel García Marquez; a stint in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace, followed by missionary work in Guatemala; and social-justice work with Mexican migrant farmworkers in Alabama. Each experience brought him closer to understanding where he came from and to forging an identity as a whole self in the wake of trauma.
Riveting, horrifying, moving, and inspiring, Speak of It is a testament to the healing power of language, books, and identity.

There is strong correlation between childhood trauma and mental health issues. I suffer with PTSD and depression, and use poetry to write honestly about the multitude of issues I have experienced in my 39 years. I have found writing to be hugely therapeutic. While I recognize the value of professional therapy, my poetry has helped me to come to terms with some of these issues.
If they're not already doing so, I hope to inspire the readers of this book to speak and write their truth. We don't have to be qualified writers to write down how we feel - honesty is the only qualification for this kind of work - and we don't have to share it unless we want to.
This collection is called Charred. Think of a piece of wood that has been exposed to the flames. You may think of it as damaged - and it's true it has been burnt and blackened - but it is still resilient, and much stronger after going through this process.
Think of me as a piece of charred wood. - Andreena Leeanne
