Katie, a stoic young Native American, faces family pressures, a developing distant romantic relationship, and stress from nursing school clinicals during her junior year at Crestmont University in Dallas. Her dream of becoming a nurse is challenged when her mother suffers an injury that could force her to stay on the farm, assume her mother’s duties, and postpone her education, perhaps permanently. Compounding her stress, Katie’s childhood friend and soulmate’s demand for a greater level of commitment drives her into an emotional spiral as she tries to balance her dream of becoming a nurse and her love for John. The academically sound Katie finds that book learning is not sufficient for success in the clinical setting. Her frustration grows as she encounters difficulty in implementing her carefully crafted patient care plans. Her relationship with the Nurseketeers, her best friends and support system, deteriorates as she tries unsuccessfully to cope.

Chief Bender's Burden

Publisher: U of Nebraska Press

Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
The greatest American Indian baseball player of all time, Charles Albert Bender, was, according to a contemporary, the coolest pitcher in the game. Using a trademark delivery, an impressive assortment of pitches that may have included the game s first slider, and an apparently unflappable demeanor, he earned a reputation as baseball s great clutch pitcher during tight Deadball Era pennant races and in front of boisterous World Series crowds. More remarkably yet, Chief Bender s Hall of Fame career unfolded in the face of immeasurable prejudice. This skillfully told and complete account of Bender s life is also a portrait of greatness of character maintained despite incredible pressure of how a celebrated man thrived while carrying an untold weight on his shoulders. With a journalist s eye for detail and a novelist s feel for storytelling, Tom Swift takes readers on Bender s improbable journey from his early years on the White Earth Reservation, to his development at the Carlisle Indian School, to his big break and eventual rise to the pinnacle of baseball. The story of a paradoxical American sports hero, one who achieved a once-unfathomable celebrity while suffering the harsh injustices of a racially intolerant world, Chief Bender s Burden is an eye-opening and inspiring narrative of a unique American life.

Book Description
A large segment of the population struggles with feelings of being detached from themselves and their loved ones. They feel flawed, and blame themselves. Running on Empty will help them realize that they're suffering not because of something that happened to them in childhood, but because of something that didn't happen. It's the white space in their family picture, the background rather than the foreground. This will be the first self-help book to bring this invisible force to light, educate people about it, and teach them how to overcome it.

Invisible Poverty Struggles
Author: Azhar ul Haque Sario
Publisher: Azhar Sario Authorship and Publishing
ISBN: 3384366182
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Invisible Poverty Struggles delves into the multifaceted nature of poverty, exploring its various dimensions and the profound impact it has on individuals and communities. In the chapter “Defining Poverty,” the book distinguishes between absolute and relative poverty, highlighting the inability to meet basic needs and the social exclusion that comes from being significantly below the average standard of living. It introduces the concept of multidimensional poverty, which goes beyond income to consider deprivations in health, education, and living standards. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding these different aspects to create effective poverty reduction strategies. Moving forward, the book addresses specific groups and issues related to poverty. “The Working Poor” chapter debunks stereotypes and highlights the structural barriers that keep people in low-wage work, while “The Feminization of Poverty” examines the gender pay gap, single mothers’ struggles, and the impact of gender-based violence. “Poverty and Place” explores urban and rural poverty, regional disparities, and the role of geography in influencing poverty rates. The book also discusses the intergenerational cycle of poverty, the toll it takes on health and mental well-being, and the criminalization of poverty through fines, fees, and discriminatory policies. Through a conversational tone, Invisible Poverty Struggles aims to shed light on the hidden aspects of poverty and inspire readers to think critically about solutions.
