The Human Side
Author: Arvilla Fee
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666760811
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
As human beings, we often search for ways to describe ourselves: our emotions, our thoughts, our deepest feelings, and fears. We want to put words to our pain, but we don't know how. The Human Side gives us those words. It gives us the connections we so desperately seek--lets us know we are not alone. Through free verse, traditional, and haibun poetry, we can see intimate reflections of ourselves or people we love as we deal with the complex yet common human struggles of addiction, grief, loneliness, loss, abuse, disease, homelessness, toxic relationships, or trauma. But The Human Side also gives us something else--hope. Human beings have an incredible capacity to survive, to overcome, to achieve what others told us we never could. And it's that spirit that will make us want to read this book again and again.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of American Wife and Eligible . . . He proposed. She said no. And it changed her life forever. “A deviously clever what if.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Immersive, escapist.”—Good Morning America “Ingenious.”—The New York Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker • NPR • The Washington Post • Marie Claire • Cosmopolitan (UK) • Town & Country • New York Post In 1971, Hillary Rodham is a young woman full of promise: Life magazine has covered her Wellesley commencement speech, she’s attending Yale Law School, and she’s on the forefront of student activism and the women’s rights movement. And then she meets Bill Clinton. A handsome, charismatic southerner and fellow law student, Bill is already planning his political career. In each other, the two find a profound intellectual, emotional, and physical connection that neither has previously experienced. In the real world, Hillary followed Bill back to Arkansas, and he proposed several times; although she said no more than once, as we all know, she eventually accepted and became Hillary Clinton. But in Curtis Sittenfeld’s powerfully imagined tour-de-force of fiction, Hillary takes a different road. Feeling doubt about the prospective marriage, she endures their devastating breakup and leaves Arkansas. Over the next four decades, she blazes her own trail—one that unfolds in public as well as in private, that involves crossing paths again (and again) with Bill Clinton, that raises questions about the tradeoffs all of us must make in building a life. Brilliantly weaving a riveting fictional tale into actual historical events, Curtis Sittenfeld delivers an uncannily astute and witty story for our times. In exploring the loneliness, moral ambivalence, and iron determination that characterize the quest for political power, as well as both the exhilaration and painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world still run mostly by men, Rodham is a singular and unforgettable novel.

When death hits the rewind button on your life, what would you change? For Sarah Jane Ashford it would be her passionate but tumultuous marriage to her high school sweetheart Sam. Her life meets a tragic end when the impact from a car accident dislodges her soul and propels her into the past. Sarah dies on Cahill Expressway in her thirties, and reawakens under the watchful eyes of her Boys II Men poster at age seventeen. Believing this sojourn into 1994 was an opportunity to rebuild her flawed relationship with Sam, she attempts to address the issues that began in the early days of courtship.

It is only by reliving her teen years through adult eyes that Sarah can confront her own shortcomings, alter her destiny and become the woman she was...

For Lyndsay Hill, her tragic loss has left her reeling and unable to cope with debilitating bouts of depression. She loves her husband Brad, and she is grateful for her friends, but she can no longer stand the weight of their concerned eyes and heartfelt condolences.
