Goodbye, Sweet Girl
"Stunning . . . . This is an immensely courageous story that will break your heart, leave you in tears, and, finally, offer hope and redemption. Brava, Kelly Sundberg." —Rene Denfeld, author of The Child Finder In this brave and beautiful memoir, written with the raw honesty and devastating openness of The Glass Castle and The Liar’s Club, a woman chronicles how her marriage devolved from a love story into a shocking tale of abuse—examining the tenderness and violence entwined in the relationship, why she endured years of physical and emotional pain, and how she eventually broke free. "You made me hit you in the face," he said mournfully. "Now everyone is going to know." "I know," I sa...
Summary of Kelly Sundberg's Goodbye, Sweet Girl
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had night terrors as a child, and I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling my chest tighten and my heart race. I would never let boys see my privates, even if they were tricked into doing so. #2 I was the difficult child, and I knew it. I was always getting in fights, and my mother never seemed to understand or believe me when I told her about them. #3 I was no angel. When I looked into the sky, I saw only one thin cloud stretching across it in lines. That cloud wasn’t fluffy enough to be heaven, I thought. God would fall through a cloud like that. #4 I was walking with Danny when he saw his dad smoking a cigarette through a tracheotomy. His dad told him that he hadn’t seen Mimi. I knew Danny didn’t see his dad much, and soon afterward, he died.

Religion Matters
This book draws together leaders in science, the health sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences to investigate the role of religion, its meaning and relevance, for their area of specialization. It provides a much-needed fresh perspective on the way in which religion operates within the modern, neo-liberal world. The book approaches the topic by way of a critical engagement between religion, broadly defined, and the individual disciplines in which each of the contributors is expert. Rather than simply taking the dogmatic position that religion offers something to every possible discipline, each of the chapters in this collection addresses the question: is there something that religion can offer to the discipline in question? That is the value of the book – it takes a truly critical stance on the place of religion in contemporary society.
