Midlife Happy Hour
Author: Elaine Ambrose
Publisher: BrownBooks.ORM
ISBN: 1612545068
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
From the author of Midlife Cabernet and Frozen Dinners, a guide to life after fifty full of personal anecdotes and laugh-out-loud humor. More than forty million middle-aged women are tumbling over the hill, laughing all the way because the kids are grown, their menstrual periods stopped, and they survived at least four decades of arbitrary rules dictated by a crabby universe. They went to work with varying degrees of success and brought home the bacon but threw it in the freezer and ordered pizza. Now they’re ready to celebrate the freedom of pending retirement because they know it’s more fun to laugh hysterically than to stab someone with a fork and deal with the messy court case and inconvenient jail time. With her irreverent kiss-my-attitude, Elaine Ambrose shares her life experiences through a series of amusing anecdotes created to show women over age fifty that life is worth living out loud. Readers will learn how to remain relevant when the world ignores them, why their children are cute but should grow up and move out, how to cope when their aging parents forget their names, and why it’s never too late to get serious about a passionate love life. She even throws in a few hints for fabulous fashion and decorating ideas for lazy people. This creative collection of humorous, gluten-free, and non-fattening stories will encourage midlife friends to grab an adult beverage and order two laughs for the price of one as the appropriate reward for surviving careers, kids, and chaos. It’s time for Midlife Happy Hour!

Frozen Dinners
Author: Elaine Ambrose
Publisher: BrownBooks.ORM
ISBN: 1612545076
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
An award-winning memoir about how one girl grew up while her father chased the American Dream across the country during the mid-twentieth century. After World War II, the United States evolved economically through an explosive combination of opportunities, entrepreneurs, and growing industries. By 1954, families began to enjoy the new pastime of evening television and increased the demand for a new product known as frozen TV dinners. A poor father and farmer from Wendell, Idaho, had the audacity and vision to start his own trucking company to haul and deliver frozen food across the country—and subsequently built an impressive fortune that included several successful businesses. Elaine Ambrose, a bestselling author, departs from her award-winning humor to show life as this man’s daughter. She chronicles the struggles her family experienced under the strain of an absent father and describes the high tensions and familial rivalries that arose after his untimely death. Using actual courtroom transcripts, she tells of the brutal legal battle that propelled her mother into dementia. She hopes to offer hope and inspiration to others who endured a contaminated family story to prove that anyone may grow beyond painful memories and find success, happiness, and warmth for themselves. Winner of 2019 Distinguished Favorite for Memoir from the Independent Press Awards Praise for Frozen Dinners “This tell-all memoir . . . will resonate with anyone who has endured family dysfunction and will defrost the hearts of readers everywhere.” —Joely Fisher, actress, singer, and author of Growing Up Fisher “Clear-eyed, evenhanded, concise, and loaded with fascinating details about the struggles and joys of growing up female in the fifties and sixties.” —Booklist

What's in the Past
Author: Ignazio E. Buttitta
Publisher: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht
ISBN: 3949189858
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
Among the main questions relating to the interpretation of popular religiosity phenomena there are those on the usefulness of historical sources (archaeological and documentary) for the purposes of understanding the mythical-ritual present, on the presumed chronological continuity of practices and beliefs and on the legitimacy and effectiveness of historical-comparative method. These questions deserve to be taken up again on the basis of renewed investigations in the face of the now-occurring dissolution of what has been defined as "peasant civilization" and the renewed interest in intangible heritage both by communities in search of identity matrices and cultural memories and by part of the so-called "cultural market". This volume presents important works by Ignazio Buttitta.
