When Rex, 83-year-old musician, husband, and father of three, suffered a massive stroke, he was told that he would never recover. However, with the powerful grace and love of his spiritually-awakened wife Hilda, Rex underwent an inspiring journey of healing that helped restore his ability to speak and walk. A Stroke of Love is the true story of Rex and Hilda's path toward recovery, which reveals how his persistent joy in the face of adversity and her special care and steadfast faith in God helped them to overcome fear, and trust in the healing power of love. A perfect story for anyone facing a life-altering diagnosis, A Stroke of Love is an intimate and encouraging example of how faith and love can be the most powerful medicines. The author, Hilda Norton, was Rex's wife of 45 years (and sweetheart for 51 years.) She is a violinist, a woman of great faith, a lover of nature, gardening, poetry and books, the mother of three sons, and a proud grandmother. A passionate musician, she continues to give private music lessons out of her home studio in Hagerstown, MD. In honor of her beloved, all proceeds of the book will be donated to the Doey's House - Hospice of Washington County.

The Cot in the Living Room
Author: Hilda Eunice Burgos
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 059311048X
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
A young Dominican American girl in New York City moves from jealousy to empathy as her parents babysit children whose families work overnight shifts in this honest and warm picture book debut. Night after night, a young girl watches her mami set up a cot in the living room for guests in their Washington Heights apartment, like Raquel (who's boring) and Edgardo (who gets crumbs everywhere). She resents that they get the entire living room with a view of the George Washington Bridge, while all she gets is a tiny bedroom with a view of her sister (who snores). Until one night when no one comes, and it's finally her chance! But as it turns out, sleeping on the cot in the living room isn't all she thought it would be. With charming text by Hilda Eunice Burgos and whimsical illustrations by Gaby D'Alessandro, The Cot in the Living Room is a celebration of the ways a Dominican American community takes care of one another while showing young readers that sometimes the best way to be a better neighbor is by imagining how it feels to spend a night sleeping on someone else's pillow.

Hilda Hurricane
Author: Roberto Drummond
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292774303
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Eighteen-year-old Hilda, known as "the girl in the gold bikini" when she swam at her country club in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, abruptly leaves the gilded life to take up residence in room 304 of the Hotel Marvelous—as a prostitute. There she becomes Hilda Hurricane, an erotic force of nature no man can resist. The exception is reporter-narrator Roberto Drummond, who attempts to unravel the mystery of why the girl in the gold bikini would forego a comfortable life to join the world's oldest profession. While some in Belo Horizonte cheer Hilda's liberated lifestyle, others seek to have her moved outside the city limits, and a would-be saint cannot seem to finish the exorcism he began outside the Hotel Marvelous. Set against the social and political upheaval of the 1960s, Hilda's story seduces even as Drummond becomes aware of more ominous forces approaching Belo Horizonte. Hilda Hurricane was both a critical and a commercial success in Brazil, with more than 200,000 copies sold. (The DVD of the television adaptation has sold more than a million copies.) Admirers of Kurt Vonnegut will revel in Drummond's similarly sharp satire and playful digressions, particularly about left-wing politics, which blur the boundary between fiction and autobiography. Yet the real genius of the author's interventions may be that they never slow the story long enough to lose sight of this mysterious beauty swept up in the turmoil of the times.
