Book Description
In this tender story of international adoption, a mother weaves a magical web of tales to explain how her child came to be part of the family. A young child asks his mother to tell the story of where he came from. I might tell how you came from a land far away in a hot air balloon. The basket slowly drifted down like a feather into our yard. I dropped the firewood I was carrying and ran to you. 'You're home now, ' I said. Or maybe it was a lark--and not a stork--that brought the child to the mother. Or perhaps he was rescued from a dragon! Each lyrical and fantastic tale contains a small kernel of truth that pieces together the baby's journey from China into his new mother's arms. Beautifully illustrated by Jessica Lanan, The Story I'll Tell is a gentle and moving story of international adoption and parental love that is sure to touch the hearts of readers everywhere, no matter how they came to be a family.

The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell
Author: John Crawford
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101217391
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
In the tradition of Michael Herr's Dispatches, a National Guardsman's account of the war in Iraq. John Crawford joined the Florida National Guard to pay for his college tuition, willingly exchanging one weekend a month and two weeks a year for a free education. But in Autumn 2002, one semester short of graduating and newly married—in fact, on his honeymoon—he was called to active duty and sent to the front lines in Iraq. Crawford and his unit spent months upon months patrolling the streets of Baghdad, occupying a hostile city. During the breaks between patrols, Crawford began recording what he and his fellow soldiers witnessed and experienced. Those stories became The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell—a haunting and powerful, compellingly honest book that imparts the on-the-ground reality of waging the war in Iraq, and marks as the introduction of a mighty literary voice forged in the most intense of circumstances.

Natalie Ashby has lived all of her life in active ministry. Her parents were evangelists and church planters with twelve children in tow -- she was the youngest girl. She married right out of high school and became a Pentecostal preacher's wife. When her husband was diagnosed with cancer, she expected life to slow down but it only increased in responsibility. Though the illnesses that plagued him were long-suffering, nothing could prepare her for the day he died. Suddenly, she was called "widow". A dirty word. A constant reminder of a long journey that led to the label. Natalie candidly shares the road to discovering her identity, purpose, calling and coming out on the other side. This book is her story in this season of life -- a newly-widowed former pastor's wife navigating life outside of full-time ministry. The tables have turned, her seat has changed, and she's along for the ride.

I'll Tell Me Ma
Author: Brian Keenan
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1446477134
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Local rather than international, the dramas and privations described in this memoir are not the stuff of headlines. This is the story of an ordinary boy growing up in Belfast after the war; an ordinary boy who would go on to become world-famous as a hostage in Beirut and author of the extraordinary testimony of imprisonment and survival that was An Evil Cradling. Brian Keenan has captured the vanished world of 1950s Belfast in all its vivid vernacular and grey, post-war austerity. I'll Tell Me Ma is an affectionate story of a disaffected childhood. At the centre is a shy, self-conscious boy of unusual moral integrity; a boy puzzled by religion and sectarianism, in love with books and music and full of curiosity about the world outside. It is also a book about coming-to-terms with the past: a resounding, thrilling record of redemption.
