Book Description
If people had said I would have twins in my 40s, I would have called them crazy! Becoming a mother of three did not come easily for me. After having my first son, I experienced secondary infertility before having my miracle twins. I certainly would not have believed that I would spend six years trying to conceive and that I would ultimately hire a surrogate to carry my babies. When Stephanie O'Hara was experiencing her first miscarriage, she went to a popular retail chain to find a book that would comfort, encourage, and support her. When she asked he store clerk for the section on Infertility and Miscarriages, she gave Stephanie a blank stare and told her it was "an odd request". She was shocked, especially when she learned about the number of women who were sharing the same struggle. For anyone who needs a friend to lean on while she is experiencing the loneliness and anxiety associated with overcoming infertility, Angel Wings is Stephanie's gift to you. In her memoir, Stephanie shares the "roller-coaster ride" that was her life for many years: seven miscarriages, painful and dangerous medical procedures, furniture-sized boxes full of IVF treatments, and her unwavering faith that carried her through to the birth of her twins. Find a comfy chair and sit with Stephanie as she generously shares the ups and downs of her story, belly-laughs, ugly cries, and all.

Open graves, open minds
Author: Sam George
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526102161
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
This collection of interconnected essays relates the Undead in literature, art and other media to questions concerning gender, race, genre, technology, consumption and social change. A coherent narrative follows Enlightenment studies of the vampire's origins in folklore and folk panics, the sources of vampire fiction, through Romantic incarnations in Byron and Polidori to Le Fanu's Carmilla. Further essays discuss the Undead in the context of Dracula, fin-de-siècle decadence, Nazi Germany and early cinematic treatments. The rise of the sympathetic vampire is charted from Coppola's film, Bram Stoker's Dracula, to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight. More recent manifestations in novels, TV, Goth subculture, young adult fiction and cinema are dealt with in discussions of True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and much more. Featuring distinguished contributors, including a prominent novelist, and aimed at interdisciplinary scholars or postgraduate students, it will also appeal to aficionados of creative writing and Undead enthusiasts. www.opengravesopenminds.com
