A Dream Too Big
Author: Caylin Louis Moore
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 1400209927
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
In this inspiring and provocative memoir about a young black man, Caylin Moore tells the against-all-odds story of his rise from racial injustice and cruel poverty in gang-ridden Los Angeles to academic success at the University of Oxford, with hope as his compass. A Dream to Big is for readers who want to … enjoy a compelling, true, hard-to-believe inspirational story; thoughtfully embrace a long-overdue conversation about equality and justice in America; and be inspired and find hope from a firsthand account of redemption through even the most painful life experiences. When Caylin Louis Moore was a young child, his mother gathered her three young children and fled an abusive marriage, landing in poverty in a heavily policed, gang-ridden community. When Moore’s mother suffered from health complications and a devastating experience in the hospital and his father was sentenced to life imprisonment, Moore was forced to enter adulthood prematurely. His hope was fueled by embracing his mother's steely faith in a brighter future. Moore skirted the gangs, the police, and the violence endemic to Compton to excel as a student and athlete, eventually reaching the pinnacles of academic achievement as a Rhodes Scholar. Moore's eye-opening, against-all-odds story reveals that there is no such thing as a dream too big.

“Here is a life story so unbelievable, it could only be true.” —Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of The House on Mango Street From bestselling author of the remarkable memoir The Distance Between Us comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time. As an immigrant in an unfamiliar country, with an indifferent mother and abusive father, Reyna had few resources at her disposal. Taking refuge in words, Reyna’s love of reading and writing propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now estranged from her family and support system.

Through it all, Reyna is determined to make the impossible possible, going from undocumented immigrant of little means to “a fierce, smart, shimmering light of a writer” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild); a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist whose “power is growing with every book” (Luis Alberto Urrea, Pultizer Prize finalist); and a proud mother of two beautiful children who will never have to know the pain of poverty and neglect. Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.

Family of Souls
Author: Marie Hilton
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1469116634
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
This collection of poems are from many different friends and family’s ideas. One is from my ten year old granddaughter, Erin! They were given to me in hopes that I would review, edit, and publish them. It took a lot of time and effort to make some of them into a readable poem. I had to go through them line by line. I did not want to lose the message that each wanted to convey. Everyone is not a poet, but they seem to have a lot of interesting thoughts to write about. I found it comforting to know that many of them see this world as it really is. I am confident that you the reader, from young to old, will find several of these poems to ponder and relate to the intended meaning of the individual poems. Even if you don’t, they are worthy of your time to read. I believe that in a poem you can express yourself freely, which is why poems are written by many who never intend to publish the things they feel very deeply about and write them down. If you have some writings stuck away somewhere, get them out and dust them off and clean up the grammar. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you have wrote down. You may become the next poet in your time.
