My Mother's Secret
Author: J.L. Witterick
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698151526
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Inspired by a true story, My Mother’s Secret is a captivating and ultimately uplifting tale intertwining the lives of two Jewish families in hiding from the Nazis, a fleeing German soldier, and the mother and daughter who save them all. Franciszka and her daughter, Helena, are simple, ordinary people...until 1939, when the Nazis invade their homeland. Providing shelter to Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland is a death sentence, but Franciszka and Helena do exactly that. In their tiny home in Sokal, they hide a Jewish family in a loft above their pigsty, a Jewish doctor with his wife and son in a makeshift cellar under the kitchen, and a defecting German soldier in the attic—each party completely unknown to the others. For everyone to survive, Franciszka will have to outsmart her neighbors and the German commander. Told simply and succinctly from four different perspectives—all under one roof—My Mother’s Secret is a testament to the kindness, courage, and generosity of ordinary people who chose to be extraordinary.

Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 1443458724
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
How Do You Forgive a Parent Who Has Failed You? One summer, Melissa Cistaro’s mother stepped into her baby-blue Dodge Dart and drove away, leaving behind Melissa and her brothers. Rarely seeing their mother as they were growing up, they blamed themselves for her leaving, turning to each other for support and seeking out often destructive ways to cope with living without their mom. Decades later, with children of her own, Melissa finds herself in Olympia, Washington, as her mother is dying. She has just days to find out what happened that summer and to confront the unthinkable fear that a “leaving gene” might be lying dormant inside of her. She knew she came from a long line of mothers who left their children. But when Melissa stumbles across a folder titled “Letters Never Sent” tucked away in her mother’s filing cabinet, she begins to feel the wreckage of her mother’s painful journey, before and after she abandoned her family. Alternating between Melissa’s tumultuous coming-of-age and her mother’s final days, Without My Mother is a haunting yet ultimately uplifting story of one woman’s quest to discover how our parents’ choices impact our own and how we can survive those choices to forge our own paths.

Pages : 274
Book Description
“Atlantis...?! You’re kidding.” “No, I’m not,” Doctor Wolfcub retorted. “Examine the facts, Falcon. Other than this single recollection, we know nothing about you. Except, that a team of assassins put a slug through your brain! That the damage was extensive! That you’ve spent the last twenty-six years in a coma, and awakened with no memories of your past life! In fact, if not for your medical bracelet, we wouldn’t even know your name. And lastly, or perhaps a better word would be strangely, your appearance hasn’t changed since the day you were shot!” “But coma or not, Doctor... We’re talking about me participating in events that took place thousands of years ago!” I countered, rolling my eyes. “Which suggests that either I’m an immortal, or else we must consider this recollection as an imaginative fantasy.” “And yet, as inexplicable as it may be, I am serious!” the doctor insisted. “What you’ve described, through the eyes of a fourteen-year-old, is no less than the creation, history and culture of the legendary Atlantis.” Join Falcon on her exciting journeys. As a young girl, we follow her tribe’s transformation from European cave-dwellers into the Island’s advanced society. As a teenager, she sails to ancient Egypt as a seeker of knowledge and technologies, ending up participating in activities that lead to the elevation of Osiris, Isis and Horus to the status of gods. And upon maturity, she witnesses events that are enshrined in the Bible. Are these journeys just a convalescing woman’s hallucinations, or is Falcon an immortal?
