Harvesting the Heart
Author: Jodi PicoultPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101042443
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Small Great Things and Mad Honey, a novel exploring the story of a young woman overcome by the demands of having a family. Paige has only a few vivid memories of her mother, who abandoned her at five years old. Now, having left her father behind in Chicago for dreams of art school and marriage to an ambitious young doctor, she finds herself with a child of her own. But her mother's absence and shameful memories of her past force her to doubt whether she could ever be capable of bringing joy and meaning into the life of her child, gifts her own mother never gave. Harvesting the Heart is written with astonishing clarity and evocative detail, convincing in its depiction of emotional pain, love, and vulnerability, and recalls the writing of Alice Hoffman and Kristin Hannah. Out of Paige's struggle to find wholeness, Jodi Picoult crafts an absorbing novel peopled by richly drawn characters, and explores motherhood with a power and depth only she is capable of. “A brilliant, moving examination of motherhood, brimming with detail and emotion.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch “Jodi Picoult explores the fragile ground of ambivalent motherhood in her lush second novel. This story belongs to… the lucky reader.” —The New York Times Book Review

The first in an epic two-book saga, this sweeping story explores the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters as each woman is forced to confront her faulty but well-meaning desire to help her daughter find her God-given place in the world. "Ambitious, strong-willed Marta Schneider leaves her home in rural Switzerland at the beginning of the 20th century. She's determined to flee her abusive father, loving but weak mother, and the constraints placed on women. Meeting interesting characters all along her journey, she works her way to Canada. There she buys a boardinghouse and meets her match in Niclas Waltert, a German engineer with a farmer's heart. Through Marta's sharp elbows and the sweat of Niclas's brow, the family eventually arrives at an increasingly comfortable life in California's Central Valley. The second half of the story is told from the point of view of constitutionally timid daughter Hildemara Rose."--Publishers Weekly.

Book Description
Celebrate the heart connection between adopted children and the forever families who welcome them with kindness, care, and unconditional love in this powerful picture book from the author of Honey Baby Sugar Child. Carol Olivia Clementine lives with Mama Rose. Mama Rose is everything—tender and sweet. She is also as stern and demanding as any good parent should be. In the midst of their happy home, Carol misses her mother and father. She longs to be with them. But until that time comes around, she learns to surrender to the love that is present. Mama Rose becomes her “home.” And Carol Olivia Clementine concludes that she loves Miss Rose, “just like a mama.” This sweet read-aloud is, on the surface, all about the everyday home life a caregiver creates for a young child: she teachers Clementine how to ride a bike, clean her room, tell time. A deeper look reveals the patience, intention, and care little ones receives in the arms of a mother whose blood is not her blood, but whose bond is so deep—and so unconditional—that it creates the most perfect condition for a child to feel safe, successful, and deeply loved.

My Mother's Sons
Author: Kenneth Dale SmithPublisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1618629182
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
A long-hidden family secret. Possible infidelity. Death. Encephalitis. Child abuse. These are the hardships assailing Esther Zysset and her four sons against the backdrop of the Great Depression and World War II. Over years of dialogue with his brothers, Kenneth has compiled his family biography; each page is filled with heartache, written with love, and shrouded in mystery. My Mother's Sons weaves stories of growing up on a farm in the '20s and '30s, heading off to war, and growing into manhood. Esther is the central figure in this narrative as the loving but tough matriarch, and as answers come, other questions surface about the nature of the relationship between Esther and the pastor in her small Missouri town. Could it be that the four brothers—Raymond, Leonard, Gerry, and Kenneth—were not true biological brothers? Their mother went to her grave holding a long-hidden family secret. However, the key to unlocking the mystery was not buried with her. My Mother's Sons will take you back to the beginning—1920 Missouri—to highlight the struggles, sacrifices, sins, and ultimately survival of a generation born out of the Great Depression.
