Learning Not to Drown
“Anna Shinoda’s deeply informed story is not to be missed.” —Dr. Drew Pinsky, Celebrity Rehab and Teen Mom Family secrets cut to the bone in this mesmerizing debut novel about a teen whose drug-addicted brother is the prodigal son one time too many. There is a pecking order to every family. Seventeen-year-old Clare is the overprotected baby; Peter is the typical, rebellious middle child; and Luke is the can’t-do-wrong favorite. In their eyes, they are a normal, happy family. But sometimes it’s the people who are closest to us who are the hardest to see. Clare loves her older brother, Luke—it’s not his fault that he’s always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Life as Luke...
British Experimental Women’s Fiction, 1945—1975
This book scrutinizes a range of relatively overlooked post-WWII British women writers who sought to demonstrate that narrative prose fiction offered rich possibilities for aesthetic innovation. What unites all the primary authors in this volume is a commitment to challenging the tenets of British mimetic realism as a literary and historical phenomenon. This collection reassesses how British female novelists operated in relation to transnational vanguard networking clusters, debates and tendencies, both political and artistic. The chapters collected in this volume enquire, for example, whether there is something fundamentally different (or politically dissident) about female experimental procedures and perspectives. This book also investigates the processes of canon formation, asking why, in one way or another, these authors have been sidelined or misconstrued by recent scholarship. Ultimately, it seeks to refine a new research archive on mid-century British fiction by female novelists at least as diverse as recent and longer established work in the domain of modernist studies.
Anna's Ocean of Dreams: The Continuing Story of Anna: Book Two
Anna’s Ocean of Dreams is book two in the continuing story of Anna. As in book one, No Time for Tears, it is also set in down east Maine. Growing up in hard and hungry times with an angry, abusive father and without a mother from age three left its mark on Anna. Enduring the cold Maine winters without enough warm clothing and never enough food to eat would leave its mark on anyone. All these things made Anna dream of a better life—a life in which she was determined that her own children would never have to endure these hardships or suffer the way she had. To fulfill these dreams Anna would have to move many mountains with much heartache along the way but she did it willingly for the love of her children. This is a story of great faith and courage, especially in times of extreme difficulties and unbelievable grief. Everyone should read this story, and then perhaps we would all realize that when we learn to depend on God, there is always light at the end of the darkness!
From Santa Anna to Selena
Author Harriett Denise Joseph relates biographies of eleven notable Mexicanos and Tejanos, beginning with Santa Anna and the impact his actions had on Texas. She discusses the myriad contributions of Erasmo and Juan Seguín to Texas history, as well as the factors that led a hero of the Texas Revolution (Juan) to be viewed later as a traitor by his fellow Texans. Admired by many but despised by others, folk hero Juan Nepomuceno Cortina is one of the most controversial figures in the history of nineteenth-century South Texas. Preservationist and historian Adina De Zavala fought to save part of the Alamo site and other significant structures. Labor activist Emma Tenayuca’s youth, passion, co...
