Summary of Dawn Schiller's The Road Through Wonderland
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was 15 in 1976 when my parents got the call that my dad was coming home from his job in Iran. My mom was working three jobs to keep up with the payments on our house, since my dad wasn’t sending any money. #2 My father, Wayne Schiller, is a very bright man who likes being hip with his hair combed back in a cool duck’s ass and wearing his peg-leg pants. He is a master at finding a way out of an uncomfortable situation. #3 I was born in 1959 in Munich, Germany. My parents were married in December 1959 at the city hall in Munich. We lived at 718 Main Street in the big house my great-grandfather had built. Every Sunday morning, my grandmother would make crumb cake. #4 My grandmother and aunt were very religious. They were Lutheran by birth, but it seemed like Grandma wore the Bible on her dress. On her bad days, she would call on the devil and offer to send us to him if we didn’t mind going to hell.
The Road Through Wonderland

When things start to cook, the sisters and Lurch, their adopted oversize canine investigator, find themselves in a heap of hot water.
The Road Through Wonderland
Painstakingly honest, this chilling memoir reveals how a teenager became immersed in the bizarre life of legendary porn star John Holmes. Starting with a childhood that molded her perfectly to fall for the seduction of “the king of porn,” this autobiography recounts the perilous road that Dawn Schiller traveled—from drugs and addiction to beatings, arrests, forced prostitution, and being sold to the drug underworld. After living through the horrific Wonderland murders of 1981, she entered protective custody, ran from the FBI, and turned in John Holmes to the police. This is the true story of a young girl’s harrowing escape from one of the most infamous public figures, her struggle to survive, and her recovery from unthinkable abuse.
The Dawn of Dutch
The Low Countries are famous for their radically changing landscape over the last 1,000 years. Like the landscape, the linguistic situation has also undergone major changes. In Holland, an early form of Frisian was spoken until, very roughly, 1100, and in parts of North Holland it disappeared even later. The hunt for traces of Frisian or Ingvaeonic in the dialects of the western Low Countries has been going on for around 150 years, but a synthesis of the available evidence has never appeared. The main aim of this book is to fill that gap. It follows the lead of many recent studies on the nature and effects of language contact situations in the past. The topic is approached from two different angles: Dutch dialectology, in all its geographic and diachronic variation, and comparative Germanic linguistics. In the end, the minute details and the bigger picture merge into one possible account of the early and high medieval processes that determined the make-up of western Dutch.
Wink
At age forty-one Dawn Schiller begrudgingly had her first mammogram. Though she had no known family history of breast cancer her offspring would forever more depict a different story. While disease was familiar to her family, with her husband's diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and her father's struggles with lung cancer, Dawn's journey through multiple surgeries, alternative healing strategies and reconstruction provides an obscure outlook of how to make lemonade when life gives you lemons. By sharing the laughter and tears shed at stages ranging from a diagnosis to reconstruction Dawn opens her heart to those who have been touched by breast cancer either personally or by someone they know. Dawn conveys her experiences with light-hearted humor and affection through her role as a mother, a wife, a daughter and an evolving woman. This is a story of strength and growth.

Fiesco's Conspiracy at Genoa
Within two years of the success of his first play Die Räuber on the German stage in 1781, Schiller wrote a drama based on a rebellion in sixteenth century Italy, its title: The Conspiracy of Fiesco at Genoa. A Republican Tragedy. At the head of the conspiracy stood Gian Luigi de’ Fieschi (1524-1547), Schiller’s Count Fiesco, a clever, courageous and charismatic figure, an epicurean and unhesitant egoist, politically ambitious, but unsure of his aims and principles. He is one of Schiller’s mysterious, protean characters who secures both our admiration and disgust. With Fiesco as tragic hero Schiller examines the complex entanglement of morality and politics in his own times that was to...
Troubling Traditions
Troubling Traditions takes up a 21st century, field-specific conversation between scholars, educators, and artists from varying generational, geographical, and identity positions that speak to the wide array of debates around dramatic canons. Unlike Literature and other fields in the humanities, Theatre and Performance Studies has not yet fully grappled with the problems of its canon. Troubling Traditions stages that conversation in relation to the canon in the United States. It investigates the possibilities for multiplying canons, methodologies for challenging canon formation, and the role of adaptation and practice in rethinking the field’s relation to established texts. The conversations put forward by this book on the canon interrogate the field’s fundamental values, and ask how to expand the voices, forms, and bodies that constitute this discipline. This is a vital text for anyone considering the role, construction, and impact of canons in the US and beyond.
