Stories for Boys: A Memoir
Author: Gregory Martin
Publisher: Hawthorne Books
ISBN: 0983850461
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
In this memoir of fathers and sons, Gregory Martin struggles to reconcile the father he thought he knew with a man who has just survived a suicide attempt; a man who had been having anonymous affairs with men throughout his thirty-nine years of marriage; and who now must begin his life as a gay man. At a tipping point in our national conversation about gender and sexuality, rights and acceptance, Stories for Boys is about a father and a son finding a way to build a new relationship with one another after years of suppression and denial are given air and light. Martin’s memoir is quirky and compelling with its amateur photos and grab-bag social science and literary analyses. Gregory Martin explores the impact his father’s lifelong secrets have upon his life now as a husband and father of two young boys with humor and bracing candor. Stories for Boys is resonant with conflicting emotions and the complexities of family sympathy, and asks the questions: How well do we know the people that we think we know the best? And how much do we have to know in order to keep loving them?

Book Description
A refined and remarkably well-educated woman, Maria Bryan began corresponding with her sister when she was sixteen years old. As Carol Bleser points out in her introduction, Bryan travels, reads the popular books of the day, entertains visitors, and makes social calls. At the same time, however, notes Bleser, Bryan's letters belie popular notions about the privileged lives of "typical" planters' daughters in the antebellum South, for she also works at housekeeping, tends the sick at home and in the neighborhood, makes clothes for the family's slaves, and tutors younger siblings.

Alberto's Coat of Love
Author: Pastor Maria Deases Peralez
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1635755662
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
The Lord placed the name Alberto in my heart years ago, and I knew then that one day I would write about him. The book Alberto's Coat of Love is about teaching children how to deal with a loss, not only the loss through death but also of a friendship, a pet, or something personal, etc. The Lord showed me how this would help the child/children understand and at the same time help them better able to cope with the situation happening in their lives. This book will help adults as well. It is simple but effective, as it focuses on the relationship between a five-year-old boy and his grandfather and the lessons in life learned through simple everyday tasks. The Lord also showed me the strength of children, and although at times it appears they are not listening to what we are telling them, on the contrary, they are holding on to our every word. I pray everyone who reads this book will be filled with peace. Enjoy!
