Book Description
Inside, there has always been a sort of fiery flame that brought ecstasy yet sometimes agony. The ecstasy being that I was aware of my own gifts, and that soon the world would know the special things that I had and wanted to share. However, the agony was that the more time passed the more worried I had become for I felt time was running out. Time has always been against me in my eyes and this is why it's vital that I complete my book. Completion of this project lets me know that I'm using what God has given me to make an impact, that my mission has not been ignored. God is the source in which I pull all creativity from, He is with me through everything and I love Him very much. Not only because He's giving me blessings, but because He understands my weaknesses and because of that He has mercy on me. God is the true leader of my life, and He teaches me to be kind and gentle to any situation whether good or bad.

The Tears of War
Author: Ingeborg E. Ryals
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 9781475932751
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
The small village in Pomerania in northern Germany provided a peaceful haven for the childhood years of author Ingeborg E. Ryals. But in 1939 the beginning of World War II irrevocably changed her idyllic life. In this memoir Ryals shares her first hand experiences as the war began to affect every aspect of her life. At the age of fifteen, she had to dig trenches behind the front lines and spent many days hiding in fear of the Soviet Army as it invaded and pillaged her village. Diphtheria and typhoid epidemics swept the country. She survived a bout of diphtheria but lingered near death for days on end with typhoid fever. There was little food to sustain them. At the age of eighteen, she was shipped to a labor camp operated by the Russian military on an island in the Baltic Sea. Ryals also recounts her escape and her eventual marriage to an American. With photos included, The Tears of War narrates a very real story of the tragedy of war. It shows Ryals perseverance and her ability to overcome obstacles in an effort to survive.

Book Description
"Yesteryear's Child" brings to life a time and place in our collective American past. This is much more than one woman's story. Outdoor privies became indoor plumbing; horse-drawn carriages shared the dusty roads with the first automobiles; and the earliest telephone numbers were single digits. In the tradition of such personal memoirs as "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "I Remember Mama" this delightful tale will evoke memories in the old and wonder in the young.

Cruel Destiny and The White Negress
Author: Cléante D. Valcin
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978837607
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Cléante Desgraves Valcin (1891-1956) was a poet, writer, and feminist—most prominently Haiti’s first published female novelist, who employed her sentimental fiction to explore matters of race, gender, nationalism, and sovereignty. A contemporary of Harlem Renaissance writers such as Nella Larsen and Zora Neale Hurston, Valcin emerged as an influential writer and political figure among the Black Atlantic diaspora. Now, for the first time, her two acclaimed novels are available in English translation. Cruel Destiny (1929) tells the tragic love story of Armand and Adeline, drawn together by a magnetic attraction, yet kept apart by a dark family secret. Depicting the heavy expectations placed upon women in Haiti’s elite society, it also explores the troubled and twisted relationships between the Haitians and their former colonial masters, the French. In The White Negress (1934), a Frenchwoman moves to Haiti and is torn between two very different men, a Black Haitian lawyer, and a white American carpetbagger. Putting a fresh spin on the tired tragic mulatta trope, Valcin reveals the racial prejudices, class tensions, and anti-colonial resentments of an island under American occupation. Together, these two novels expand our understanding of Caribbean literature, as well as the political struggles and artistic triumphs of Black women in the Americas.
