Eating Pomegranates
Author: Sarah Gabriel
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439158134
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
An intensely powerful and moving memoir about genetics, mortality, family, femininity, and the author’s battle with cancer After the grief of losing her mother to cancer when Sarah Gabriel was a teenager, she had learned to appreciate "the charms of simple happiness." With a career as a journalist, a home in Oxford, England, a husband, and two young daughters, she was content. But then at age forty-four, she was diagnosed with breast cancer—the result of M18T, an inherited mutation on the BRCA1 gene that had taken the lives of her mother and countless female ancestors. Eating Pomegranates is Gabriel’s candid and incredibly intimate story of being forced to acknowledge that while you can try to overcome the loss of a parent, you can never escape your genetic legacy. Being diagnosed with the same disease that killed her mother compelled Gabriel to write this story. In her struggle for survival, she recounts the rigors of her treatments and considers the impact of a microscopic piece of DNA on generations of her family’s dynamics. She also revisits her past in an effort to reclaim her identity and learn more about the mother who disappeared too early from her life. Beautiful and brutal, Eating Pomegranates—like the myth of Persephone and Demeter, which inspires the title—is about mothers and motherless daughters. It is about a woman so afraid of abandoning her children that she is hardly able to look at them, and about the history of breast cancer itself, from early radical surgeries to contemporary medicine. Combining passion, humor, fierce intelligence, and clinical detail, Eating Pomegranates is an extraordinary book about an all-too-ordinary disease.

Author: Nicole Scarano
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
Their love inspired a legend, but first, it will ignite a war in this gender-swapped Hades and Persephone reimagining. History tells of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the three ruling brothers of Mount Olympus, but history is mistaken. In the beginning, Hades was not a god but merely an immortal woman loved and then betrayed by Zeus. Her fall from grace exiles her to the Underworld, a realm absent a god since the dawn of creation and rampant with chaos and decay. But Hades is destined for a dark and terrible greatness, and the Underworld welcomes her with open arms. Hell has finally found its god. Zeus' betrayal will not go unpunished. Hades' disgrace will have its vengeance, but destiny intervenes, and Hades is faced with choosing between revenge and the unexpected love of a handsome but mortal farmer. Pomegranate is the first book in this Greek Mythology reimagining and is perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Sarah J. Maas, and The Witcher. *2nd Edition/2020--The story remains the same, but significant changes to the writing and editing have been made.
