Book Description
Orphaned at the tender age of three and a half years old, Mandy Sullivan has moved from foster home to foster home never putting down roots long enough to make lasting friendships. Her most sincere wish was to be adopted into a loving family but that was not in the cards. Her only friend is a dwarf hamster living in her mind. Now at 24, she hides some very deep hurts and betrayals beneath a smooth, apparently self-confident exterior. She yearns for a true friend... Jamie Vandraegen, successful architect at 28, lives almost like a recluse in the beautiful house he designed and built with his own blood, sweat and tears. Estranged from his parents and jealously insane brother, he talks to his dream girl, a faceless entity who simply understands him. The day of the big snowstorm, his lonely, quiet life is rocked by the whirlwind appearance of a snow-covered, frozen-lashed girl on his doorstep. But his jealous brother is bent on making trouble.

Finding Your Inner Mama
Author: Eden Steinberg

Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Motherhood can be one of the most intense and transformative experiences of a woman's life. While there are many books that offer the "do's and don'ts" of effective parenting, few offer guidance on navigating the tumultuous inner experience of being a mother, with all its joy, pain, change, and uncertainty. This collection of writing by psychologists, poets, novelists, spiritual teachers, and everyday moms explores the rich, transformative journey of motherhood. • Poet and novelist Louise Erdrich captures the sheer wonder and awe of early motherhood. • Self-described "hip momma" Ariel Gore reflects on the challenges of dealing with her daughter's adolescent rebellion. • Journalist Joan Peters highlights the rise of the "Power Mom" and the risks of overparenting to our children and ourselves. • Zen teacher Cheri Huber shares a spiritual perspective: sometimes it's us parents who need a "time out" so that we can be more fully present and loving with our children. Previously published in hardcover under the title Your Children Will Raise You.

Dance for your Daddy

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
'This morning I found this bag. I had been looking for sweets. I put my hand in the bag and felt a sticky liquid on my fingers, then I looked at it. A red smear. Then I looked in the bag: bloody knives and clothes. It didn't feel good. What did it mean? I don't know. There are no answers; I daren't ask the questions' Growing up in poverty in London's East End, Kathy was eight years old when her father forced her mother into prostitution. When their mother fled, leaving Kathy and her sisters behind, the girls stuck fiercely together while being passed from children's homes to boarding schools. Then, on a rare trip home, Kathy looked out the window to see a man firing four shots into a Rolls-Royce. It took several seconds for her to realise the victim was her mother's lover, and the gunman was her father. Kathy began her haunting memoir when, as an adult, she travelled back to London, to find out who her gangster father really was. A compelling memoir of an extraordinary childhood, Dance for your Daddy is a true story of the effects on one family of poverty and affluence, violence and love.
