Book Description
PETER BARBIERIS mesmerizing Book One of his trilogy depicts the resentment, suspicion, and intrigue that direct the lives of one Native American family living in North America prior to the European invasion. Book One begins with the birth of a son and ends with two brothers fi ght-to-the-death. The Purple Sky is an account of EMILY MADDINGs (b. 1765, d. 1857) dreamvisits to a small Native American village. In a manner most mysterious and uncanny, Emily lives the life of PALE-MOON, one of the villages women. Emily defi nes her relationship with Pale-Moon in this way: It is as if I am here now, on the tenth of January, 1806, sitting at my desk, living a life as wife and mother a life with a memory, history, and a fancied future and yet I am vaguely aware of a ubiquitous presence hovering in an indefi nable space; a presence that connects me to all that has been and to all that will be. In so far as the Native American woman is concerned, Emily is her ubiquitous presence, and she [Pale-Moon] is to a certain extent aware of it. Through Emily, Pale-Moon narrates the compelling story of her peoples struggle to maintain a harmonious existence within a world teetering on the brink of transfi guration. BARBIERIS previous works of fictionTales From the Soft Underbelly of Confusion, a collection of short stories, and Tree Of Dreams, a novelwere published by iuiverse in 2007 and 2009 respectively. Peter Barbieri received his doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Colorado, Boulder. He completed his post-doctoral studies with Luciano Berio in Florence, Italy. For the past twenty-fi ve years, Barbieri has been touring the United States and Europe as pianist/ accompanist for the Nancy Spanier Dance Company. Currently, Dr. Barbieri is the executive director of the ijamjazz summer jazz camp in Bonefro, Italy and teaches Jazz Th eory and Improvisation in Boulder, Colorado.

When faced with adversity, human beings can either break, or rise from the ashes. A Handful of Purple Sky is the story of a resilient woman who, despite waking up one morning to the terrible news that she had breast cancer, not only fought her fears and apprehensions, but also the illness, to emerge stronger and more determined in the end.

Before she could comprehend what was unfolding around her, she had to be up and about, getting all kinds of tests done, meeting doctors, trying to understand the challenge life had suddenly thrown her way. In the hustle and bustle that was life, the news of the illness came as a shock. What followed, were months of gruelling cancer treatment.

Mridula believes that the glass of life is always full and never empty. A Handful of Purple Sky traverses the journey called life, when it brings you at a crossroad, and you can only take one quick decision: to fight, fight and fight till you emerge victorious.

Purple Sky Survivalist: Growing Up a Victim of Illusions
Author: Deborah Kinisky
Publisher: Lachesis Publishing Inc
ISBN: 099492710X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
The upbringing of a child should be done with tender affection because the possibilities for the future are endless. Yes, there will be challenges along the way, but every human life must be nurtured and cherished. Now, imagine a little girl with a loving family; perhaps one that is a little idealistic but one that we all hope for. A mother who teaches her daughter that anything is possible, mentors her as she transitions through life and provides her with the ‘something old, something new, something blue’ on her wedding day. A father who loves his little girl and treasures her for her curiosity to learn, encourages her to challenge stereotypes and teaches his daughter about how young men should behave in the early dating scene and throughout a strong marriage. Where siblings squabble and grow to appreciate one another. A family who has the glue that keeps them balanced in times of instability because of their deep love for one another. I wish this was Deborah’s story. It is not. What is amazing about this story, is that regardless of Deborah’s horrific childhood and a lack of strong role models, Deborah has learned from her own journey.
