Tears On My Pillow
Author: Narelle Biedermann
Publisher: Random House Australia
ISBN: 1742746764
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
"Don't forget your cotton underwear, girls!" Most books that look at the involvement of Australians in the Vietnam War rarely allude to the role of nurses. But war and nursing are unequivocally linked. A total of 43 Australian Army nursing sisters were sent to Vietnam between April 1967 and November 1971, undertaking tours of up to 12 months. The nurses were assigned to a military hospital in a war zone with little advanced preparation, particularly as clinicians with exposure to trauma, critical care or theatre. The contribution of these women undoubtedly affected many soldiers in profound ways. Tears on My Pillow describes the experiences of nursing in the Vietnam War using the words, voices and photographs of these servicewomen. These veterans tell tales of femininity interspersed with the reality of the military environment through their stories of trauma, distress, tears and grief that went on for many years, and stories of underwear, fun and the basic things in life.

Book Description
Writing has been my passion for far longer than I can remember. Through all my trials and tribulations in life and relationships, it has been my relief when ever I felt there was no other resort. I've dreamt of publishing for years now, being that I write what I feel if you pick up this book and can relate to at least one poem then I'm human, normal, just like you. So with that said, allow me to embrace you through word. Move you emotionally and caress your soul. Get to know the side few people know, the lover, the mother, the fighter, survivor, the poet. Get to know me.

Author: Celia Straus
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307757692
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Inspiration for Girls on the Threshold of Change "Before I go to sleep each night Before I turn off every light Let me put away my fears Let me brush away the tears" The heartfelt prayers in this luminous volume were originally written for the comfort and inspiration of a twelve-year-old girl named Julia. The author of these prayers is Julia's mother, who wrote them because she was troubled that she and her daughter no longer talked as much as they used to. So each night, she left a verse on Julia's pillow. Julia shared them with her younger sister and with her friends, and the prayers moved outward in ever-widening circles. Now everyone can enjoy and meditate upon these simple supplications, whose words, feelings, and perspective are those of a girl growing into womanhood. Nearly one hundred and fifty prayers encourage girls to look inward for the strength to heal hurts, calm fears, and reconcile with family and friends. They present the values of self-reliance and confidence, celebrating the gift of life and the unique pleasure and challenges of being a girl. Each prayer is a loving act of faith, and together they provide a safe and private space in which a girl can simply be and grow.
