Book Description
Have you ever wondered about those recreational vehicles going down the highway? Would you ever want to live in one? Why would anyone ever want to live that way? This book answers the many questions that Barbara receives whenever someone finds out that she is traveling alone in an RV and is almost 70 years old. It covers how Barbara began, what she considered when buying an RV, the difference in the aspects of her life style and some of her experiences. She spends about three months in a location (usually a national site) working in exchange for her campsite. If you have ever considered living in an RV then this book will answer many questions. If you have no intention of ever living this way, maybe you will enjoy hearing why Barbara feels that it is a wonderful way to live, although maybe not your choice of a life style. After her divorce in the early 1980s, Barbara began extensive foreign and domestic travel. She has been to six continents and many, many countries. She has hiked and bicycled abroad as well as taken bus trips, riverboats trips and cruises. When Barbara was 65 years old she sold her house and almost all her belongings and began to live in a recreational vehicle. She was born in 1942 and feels that her early adult life was greatly affected by the norms of the 1950s. She was married at age eighteen and years later began college. Barbara has three children: David, born in 1965; Pamela, born in 1969; and Kimberly, born in 1970. After her children were in school she began her career in education. Barbara taught all grades (except kindergarten) in an elementary school, then all grades in a middle school, then worked as a middle school counselor, then finished her career as a high school counselor. Her marriage ended in 1984 and since then she has traveled extensively and lived in many states. Barbara believes that she is continuing to evolve into someone who accepts challenges.

He owns a mobile home moving company, a house, a hundred-acre farm, and rental properties. How did it happen? This man's story is about his journey as a hardworking employee and businessman whose impeccable character is well-known among his peers and clients, and whose stand for what is right took to him to Arkansas' state capital to ask senators to repeal a fifty-year-old state law that prevented small mobile home moving companies from making business in their home state. This husband and father, who instilled in his children a working ethic that helped them through their lives, will show that any roadblock to one's success can be overcome if anybody has a will to carry on with that dream.

Book Description
"I mean, it's not as if I want a father. I have a father. It's just that I don't know who he is or where he is. But I have one." Ramiro Lopez and Jake Upthegrove don't appear to have much in common. Ram lives in the Mexican-American working-class barrio of El Paso called "Dizzy Land." His brother is sinking into a world of drugs, wreaking havoc in their household. Jake is a rich West Side white boy who has developed a problem managing his anger. An only child, he is a misfit in his mother's shallow and materialistic world. But Ram and Jake do have one thing in common: They are lost boys who have never met their fathers. This sad fact has left both of them undeniably scarred and obsessed with the men who abandoned them. As Jake and Ram overcome their suspicions of each other, they begin to move away from their loner existences and realize that they are capable of reaching out beyond their wounds and the neighborhoods that they grew up in. Their friendship becomes a healing in a world of hurt. San Antonio Express-News wrote, "Benjamin Alire Sáenz exquisitely captures the mood and voice of a community, a culture, and a generation"; that is proven again in this beautifully crafted novel.

The World and the Word
Author: Nongenile M. Zenani
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 0299133133
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
A master storyteller of the Xhosa people of South Africa, Nongenile Masithathu Zenani gives us an unprecedented view of an oral society from within. Twenty-four of her complex and beautiful tales about birth, puberty, marriage, and work, as told to the renowned collector of African oral tradition, Harold Scheub, are gathered here. Accompanying the stories are Zenani’s detailed commentaries and analyses and Scheub’s striking photographs of her in performance. The combination of these historical and cultural observations with a richly symbolic collection of tales from a single traditional storyteller make The World and the Word a remarkable document. “The storyteller’s materials are simple,” Zenani told Scheub, “the world, and the word.” She presents to us the entire world of the Xhosa people, how they first came to be, the origins of their customs, how they order their world and deal with transgressors, how they manage all of life’s transitions from birth to death. She depicts both the world as it exists and as it is shaped in the words of the storyteller. Inheriting tales from the Xhosa tradition, Zenani has transformed them into imaginative new stories marked by her own artistry. Scheub’s introduction to The World and the Word discusses Xhosa oral tradition and Zenani’s particular characteristics as an artist within that tradition; Zenani’s personal history and her work as both a storyteller and a healer; and Scheub’s friendship with her and his role in recording her legacy.
