Book Description
“The relationship between a mother and daughter is one of the most complicated and meaningful there is. Kimberly Williams-Paisley writes about her own with grace, truth, and beauty as she shares her journey back to her mother in the wake of a devastating illness.” —Brooke Shields Many know Kimberly Williams-Paisley as the bride in the popular Steve Martin remakes of the Father of the Bride movies, the calculating Peggy Kenter on Nashville, or the wife of country music artist, Brad Paisley. But behind the scenes, Kim was dealing with a tragic secret: her mother, Linda, was suffering from a rare form of dementia that slowly crippled her ability to talk, write and eventually recognize people in her own family. Where the Light Gets In tells the full story of Linda’s illness—called primary progressive aphasia—from her early-onset diagnosis at the age of 62 through the present day. Kim draws a candid picture of the ways her family reacted for better and worse, and how she, her father and two siblings educated themselves, tried to let go of shame and secrecy, made mistakes, and found unexpected humor and grace in the midst of suffering. Ultimately the bonds of family were strengthened, and Kim learned ways to love and accept the woman her mother became. With a moving foreword by actor and advocate Michael J. Fox, Where the Light Gets In is a heartwarming tribute to the often fragile yet unbreakable relationships we have with our mothers.

Empowering Our Kids...And Ourselves
Author: Richard Paul Hinkle
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665575166
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
An essential aspect of getting to the point of being fully empowered, fully armed lies in taking on the responsibility for your own lives, kids. Mark Twain had one take on that when he wrote, “Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.” My father’s take was that I could be anything I wanted to be . . . so long as I wasn’t afraid to work my butt off for it. As anyone familiar with George Bernard Shaw might expect, the magnificent British dramatist had a still pithier viewpoint on the subject: “I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” Whew! Talk about your self-starters. But there is an essential truth embedded and embodied by that admonition: If you create your own life, you own it. You choose whether it is to be forceful and commanding or fearful and cowering. Please, you two, opt for the former over the latter. It’s a lot more rewarding.

Popular Music and Public Diplomacy
Author: Mario Dunkel
Publisher: transcript Verlag
ISBN: 383944358X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
In the early years of the Cold War, Western nations increasingly adopted strategies of public diplomacy involving popular music. While the diplomatic use of popular music was initially limited to such genres as jazz, the second half of the 20th century saw a growing presence of various popular genres in diplomatic contexts, including rock, pop, bluegrass, flamenco, funk, disco, and hip-hop, among others. This volume illuminates the interrelation of popular music and public diplomacy from a transnational and transdisciplinary angle. The contributions argue that, as popular music has been a crucial factor in international relations, its diplomatic use has substantially impacted the global musical landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries.
