My parents were great influences in my life. From my mom, I learned optimism. I never saw my mom in a bad mood. She was always happy and looked at the good side of everyone and everything. When she wanted a fireplace, she substituted as a mail carrier and after a year, was able to buy it. Once when thinking she and Dad might get a new car, a fire prevented it. Dad was a logger, and the logs on the cold deck of the lumber mill had burned up, which prevented him from paying his workers with the money he would have received. Neither parent mentioned it to us kids, and nothing changed in their behavior. They never talked to us kids about money, having it or not having it. Mom cooked, sewed our c...
In a big Arabian city, an orphan boy is forced to work as a camel jockey - a dangerous job he doesn't like. But a new friendship and a magical escape into the desert are about to change his life... Camel racing is a popular sport in the Gulf states. Child jockeys are used to ride the camels and come from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sudan, Mauritania and Eritrea. Often poor families are persuaded to sell sons as young as five years old, who are taken away to be trained and often badly treated. Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates have banned the use of child jockeys and are returning the children to their families so that they can live a normal life. Robots are now being used in place of jockeys in the United Arab Emirates, but in some Middle Eastern countries small children are still being forced to race camels. "The pictures are beautiful - really evocative." Elizabeth Laird, prize-winning author of Crusade, The Garbage King and Lost Riders (also about a camel jockey)
Sunbreaks is the poignant story of a man's search for a new and fulfilling life after tragedy throws him into a tailspin.
Sonja katsahti potilashuoneen peiliin. Vuosia oli takana paljon, eivätkä ne karttuessaan olleet kasvoja kaunistaneet. Mihin koko hälyinen elämä oli hävinnyt? Äskenhän oli lapsuus, kesät täynnä auringon kimallusta ja talvet huoletonta kelkkamäessä pelmuamista. Tuli sota ja katkaisi lapsuuden. Mikään ei palannut enää ennalleen. Sodan talvet olivat pitkiä ja ikäviä, mutta koulun alettua sai oppia lukemaan ja kirjoittamaan. Koulussa oli hienoja tähtihetkiä, ja oli pahoja päiviä, jolloin polvet tärisivät ja korvissa kaikui lällätys: Sonja ponja, rupikonna... Se aika on nyt kaukana, hän istuu isänsä vuoteen vieressä kuunnellen isän raskaita hengenvetoja. Isä makaa...
