Passing: A Memoir of Love and Death
Author: Michael Korda
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1631494651
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
In the tradition of The Year of Magical Thinking comes a legendary editor’s unflinching love song about his radiant wife, Margaret, and her battle with cancer. It was a warm April in Pleasant Valley when Margaret Korda, normally a fearless horsewoman, dropped her horsewhip while she was riding. Such a mild slip was easy to ignore, but when other troubling symptoms accumulated, she confided to her husband, “Michael, I think something serious is wrong with me.” Within a few rapid weeks, the fiercely independent, former fashion model was diagnosed with brain cancer, while Michael, once reliant on her steeliness, became her caregiver, deciphering bewildering medical reports and packing her beloved toiletries for the hospital. An operation performed by a renowned surgeon allowed Margaret to ride her favorite competition horse Logan go Bragh a few more times, but Margaret’s tumors quickly returned—leaving her to grapple with the reality of impending death. In rapturous prose, Korda, a modern- day Orpheus, braids her heroic story with heartrending details of their final year together. Passing, a tender memoir, is a testament to the transcendent possibilities of love.

I Have Been Thinking
Author: Jason Whaley
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1257782878
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
A creative reading experience; the idea behind reading the book, is that a person can sit and read for thirty minutes or less and then go about with new ideas passing through their mind during the day. Each entry is a thought or group of thoughts that are intended to bring out the greater levels of wonder from within your mind. Many ideas come from a mixing of modern concepts with views from classic religions, creating a strange spirituality; often stretching far outside the box of normal thoughts, this book takes you on a walk through the mind of a man who enjoys making people wonder, "Where in the world did he come up with that?" From dream states to atomic landscapes you will find this book funny, spiritually uplifting and at times baffling to the senses. This is more than a journal of "What I did today." It is a journal of what comes to mind while one attempts to tear down and rebuild the universe in their head, under the assumption that this will help them to understand God.
