Book Description
James Robert Freels Jr., (Bob) along with his girlfriend, Maureen Wilkin, on June 21,1985 abducted my eight year old grandson, Jimmy. It wasnt until June 30, 1985 that the abduction was realized because Jimmy was supposedly on vacation with his father. Deborah (Debbie) Freels, my daughter, and Bob had been separated for almost a year. Debbie had custody of their two children, Jimmy, age eight and Dawn, age twelve. After eight months of searching, the trail led to Guatemala, Central America. If it werent for strangers and incredible luck, the search would not have been successful. The last month was spent by me in Guatemala, which I described in my notes as 30 Days of Hell. This is a true story of my experiences.

Leave Out the Tragic Parts
Author: Dave Kindred
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1541757084
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
This extraordinary investigation of the death of the author's grandson yields a powerful memoir of addiction, grief, and the stories we choose to tell our families and ourselves. Jared Kindred left his home and family at the age of eighteen, choosing to wander across America on freight train cars and live on the street. Addicted to alcohol most of his short life, and withholding the truth from many who loved him, he never found a way to survive. Through this ordeal, Dave Kindred's love for his grandson has never wavered. Leave Out the Tragic Parts is not merely a reflection on love and addiction and loss. It is a hard-won work of reportage, meticulously reconstructing the life Jared chose for himself--a life that rejected the comforts of civilization in favor of a chance to roam free. Kindred asks painful but important questions about the lies we tell to get along, and what binds families together or allows them to fracture. Jared's story ended in tragedy, but the act of telling it is an act of healing and redemption. This is an important book on how to love your family, from a great writer who has lived its lessons.

Parentless Parents
Author: Allison Gilbert
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 1401396550
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Parentless Parents is the first book to show how the absence of grandparents impacts everything about the way mothers and fathers raise their children--from everyday parenting decisions to the relationships they have with their spouses and in-laws. For the first time in U.S. history, as the average age of women giving birth has increased significantly, millions of children are at risk of having fewer years with their grandparents than ever before. How has this substantial shift affected parents and kids? Journalist, award-winning television producer, and parentless parent Allison Gilbert has polled and studied more than 1,300 parentless parents from across the United States and a dozen other countries to find out. Through her pioneering research, Gilbert not only shares her own story and the significant and poignant effect that this trend has had on her and hundreds of other families, but also the myriad ways these mothers and fathers have learned to keep the memory of their parents alive for their children, and to find the support and understanding they need.

Portrayal and the Search for Identity
Author: Marcia Pointon
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1780230729
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
We are surrounded with portraits: from the cipher-like portrait of a president on a bank note to security pass photos; from images of politicians in the media to Facebook; from galleries exhibiting Titian or Leonardo to contemporary art deploying the self-image, as with Jeff Koons or Cindy Sherman. In antiquity portraiture was of major importance in the exercise of power. Today it remains not only a part of everyday life, but also a crucial way for artists to define themselves in relation to their environment and their contemporaries. In Portrayal and the Search for Identity, Marcia Pointon investigates how we view and understand portraiture as a genre and how portraits function as artworks within social and political networks. Likeness is never a straightforward matter, as we rarely have the subject of a portrait as a point of comparison. Featuring familiar canonical works and little-known portraits, Portrayal seeks to unsettle notions of portraiture as an art of convention, a reassuring reflection of social realities. Pointon invites readers to consider how identity is produced pictorially and where likeness is registered apart from in a face. In exploring these issues, she addresses wide-ranging problems such as the construction of masculinity in dress, representations of slaves, and self-portraiture in relation to mortality.
