Cuban American Theater brings together six plays on the Cuban American experience. Here are presented dramatically the themes of exile, culture clash, the generation gap and discrimination, along with the full gamut of concerns about art, theatre and life itself. The plays vary in format from conventional two act realism, to absurdist theatre and, of course, to Cuban musical farce (teatro bufo), which accounts for some of the humor and characterization. Professor Rodolfo J. Cortina has provided an introduction to situate this theatrical production within an historical and aesthetic context. In all respectsÑ linguistic, artistic and philosophicalÑ Cuban American Theater is the first of its kind, a truly historical and ground-breaking document.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Funny, poignant, and deeply moving, The Line Tender is a story of nature's enduring mystery and a girl determined to find meaning and connection within it. Wherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart's marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, collecting shark data when she died suddenly. Lucy was seven. Since then Lucy and her father have kept their heads above water--thanks in large part to a few close friends and neighbors. But June of her twelfth summer brings more than the end of school and a heat wave to sleepy Rockport. On one steamy day, the tide brings a great white--and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was "meaningful" but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother's unfinished research on the Great White's return to Cape Cod. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she'll finally be able to look beyond what she's lost and toward what's left to be discovered. ★"Confidently voiced."—Kirkus Reviews, starred ★"Richly layered."—Publishers Weekly, starred ★"A hopeful path forward."—Booklist, starred ★"Life-affirming."—BCCB, starred ★"Big-hearted." —Bookpage, starred ★“Will appeal to just about everyone.” – SLC, starred ★"Exquisitely, beautifully real."—Shelf Awareness, starred

Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Poetry book on love, loss, pain, optimism, and everything in between. This book is a piece of me, a glimpse into my heart, my mind. It is a skim thru my diary, if you may. I am giving you more than I've given those who have been next to me in bed. The truth. Unadulterated...Unapologetic. And that is the true accomplishment I feel in my work. That's what I would hope people grasp...The way I've pushed my heart out for all to see. Thank you for taking the time to join me in my journey. The 20's are hell, right? Nah, I can't say it was all hell. I must say, I enjoyed many of these moments. Even the pain--to be honest...I do love to revel in self-pity sometimes. I think, in some ways, pain defined me, gave me a purpose and meaning. But, now I am in a new place with new worries and new joys, feel free to take the journey with me...

Book Description
A cowboy. A cactus. And my eight-year-old daughter. That’s how I end up having dinner with the hottest guy I’ve ever laid eyes on. My relationship history is a trail of horrible mistakes. Well, two, but they were really big. Now I’m a single mom, and I have no plans to date. But since my daughter has decided that Anderson is the best thing since sliced bread, I feel the need to spend time with him to know if he’s a good guy. One dinner turns into two, and he helps me move. Then I kiss him. One kiss turns into two, and I agree to date him as long as we keep it a secret because I don’t want my daughter to know (or be disappointed if I find I’ve made another mistake). But keeping secrets in a small town isn’t always easy to do.

Are We There Yet?
Author: Marcie Anderson
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504371534
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
While studying in India, the ancient spiritual knowledge revealed to me that everything in this creation is made up of and is under the control of The Five Elements. Countless ancient traditions and civilizations have pointed to the greatness, profundity, and perfection of nature. It was through the combination of my fire element, my passion, and my will power, as well as the meditation and purification practices given to me by my guru Kaleshwar that resulted in a silence and peace deep within me. I began to have experiences that grew quickly and did not leave me. They built themselves, one upon another, revealing to me that I had become reconnected and reintroduced to the peace and information inside of The Five Elements. When I was able to reconnect to this vast and powerful inner silence through The Five Elements and through the unbelievable patience and grace of my teacher, it felt like opening a vault with limitless amounts of energy and unconditional love. It was a process where layers and layers of doubt, fear, sadness, pain, anger, judgment, and confusion were removed. This process required a lot of journaling, meditation, and shedding of my ego and lots of waterproof mascara.
