A Better Woman
Author: Susan Johnson
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743440099
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Acclaimed novelist Susan Johnson found, at age thirty-five, that her desire to have a baby became overwhelming. She had no inkling what motherhood would cost -- or give -- her. But as she went on to experience pregnancy and birth, and their impact on her marriage, health, and heart, she recorded it all. In this hauntingly lovely account, Johnson portrays a woman transformed by motherhood, and a writer forever changed by a widening chasm of experience. Her initial ecstasy jostles against bewilderment, rage, and despair, however, when she develops a rare complication of childbirth; she is "a one-woman catastrophe, a small ruined country." She is also burning to get words on paper. The result, A Better Woman, should be required reading for every woman hungry to give birth -- and every mother yearning to have her deepest feelings heard.

The Woman Who Could Not Forget
Author: Ying-Ying Chang
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1605986658
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
The poignant story of the life and death of world-famous author and historian Iris Chang, as told by her mother. Iris Chang's bestselling book, The Rape of Nanking, forever changed the way we view the Second World War in Asia. It all began with a photo of a river choked with the bodies of hundreds of Chinese civilians that shook Iris to her core. Who were these people? Why had this happened and how could their story have been lost to history? She could not shake that image from her head. She could not forget what she had seen. A few short years later, Chang revealed this "second Holocaust" to the world. The Japanese atrocities against the people of Nanking were so extreme that a Nazi party leader based in China actually petitioned Hitler to ask the Japanese government to stop the massacre. But who was this woman that single-handedly swept away years of silence, secrecy and shame? Her mother, Ying-Ying, provides an enlightened and nuanced look at her daughter, from Iris' home-made childhood newspaper, to her early years as a journalist and later, as a promising young historian, her struggles with her son's autism and her tragic suicide. The Woman Who Could Not Forget cements Iris' legacy as one of the most extraordinary minds of her generation and reveals the depth and beauty of the bond between a mother and daughter.

Men Are Better Than Women
Author: Dick Masterson
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 141695919X
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Through a process of exhaustive man research he calls "keeping his eyes open," Dick Masterson has compiled a Magnum-size list of the ways men are better than women. It is an infallible compendium of man's greatness, filled with the most egregiously fallacious arguments ever put to words, but with some kind of miraculous, rock-solid man logic dripping like motor oil from every sentence. It is a manifesto more memorable than bullshit like High Fidelity or which Axe baby powder Maxim thinks you should slap on your nuts before clubbing, more chock-full of devastating man quotes than Oscar Wilde with two wangs. Most important, it is the only one of its kind. In Men Are Better Than Women, Dick Masterson dispenses logic from his man mouth into the eyes of his male readers like some kind of mighty mother man eagle with nutrient-rich word vomit. It's a book that makes you feel like driving a train into a dynamite factory and then tearing a telephone book apart with your bare hands, just because that's the way men have always done it. Masterson's chapters are simple and self-contained, demand no commitments from readers, and have an immediate payoff. Men Are Better Than Women is a dangerous work of satire -- not dangerous in a revolutionary sense, but dangerous in that it walks the razor-thin line between cruelty and absurdity. That line is called hilarious.

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Sometimes people do not communicate emotions and feelings. Perhaps their personality is emotionally detached because somewhere in their life they had to put up a wall to protect their heart. This was my situation. God showed me how to overcome living with a person who was emotionally detached. When we hear what God has to say and obey it in dealing with our spouses, he will change the other person for our benefit, and in this process we are the better person too. Im glad God knew exactly what he was getting when he made me. When we get married its only what we think we are getting that we get. Im so glad my God is big enough to fix anything. Where there is silence, so is God. You see, sometimes, when family and friends are around all the time, the noise keeps us from hearing God. It is so easy to pick up the phone and say, Guess what? and tell someone about our day, or ask their opinion about something, perhaps just to have somebody listen. Just like women do not want to share their husbands, so is our God. We have a jealous God. He wants us to talk to him every day, even about the smallest things. And he has been so good to me. I know he certainly deserves my, Guess what? Because hes always listening, even when were not.
