Our Lady of Alice Bhatti
Author: Mohammed Hanif
Publisher: Bond Street Books
ISBN: 0385677286
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
From the author of the universally acclaimed debut novel A Case of Exploding Mangoes: a subversive, often shockingly funny new novel set in steaming Karachi, about second chances, thwarted ambitions, and love in the most unlikely places. The patients of the Sacred Heart Hospital for All Ailments need a miracle, and Alice Bhatti may be just what they're looking for. She's the new junior nurse, but that's the only thing ordinary about her. Her father is a part-time healer in the French Colony, Karachi's Christian slum--and it seems she has inherited his part-time gift. With a bit of begrudging but inspired improvisation, Alice brings succour to the patients lining the hospital's corridors. Yet, a Christian in an Islamic world, she is ensnared in the red tape of hospital bureaucracy, trapped by the caste system, and torn between her duty to her patients, her father, and her husband--an apprentice to the nefarious "Gentlemen's Squad" of the police, and about to plunge them both into a situation so dangerous that perhaps not even a miracle can save them. But, of course, Alice Bhatti is no ordinary nurse...

An Ordinary Wonder
Author: Buki Papillon
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1643137824
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
An extraordinary literary debut about a Nigerian boy's secret intersex identity and his desire to live as a girl. Oto leaves for boarding school with one plan: excel and escape his cruel home. Falling in love with his roommate was certainly not on the agenda, but fear and shame force him to hide his love and true self. Back home, weighed down by the expectations of their wealthy and powerful family, the love of Oto's twin sister wavers and, as their world begins to crumble around them, Oto must make drastic choices that will alter the family's lives for ever. Richly imagined with art, proverbs and folk tales, this moving and modern novel follows Oto through life at home and at boarding school in Nigeria, through the heartbreak of living as a boy despite their profound belief they are a girl, and through a hunger for freedom that only a new life in the United States can offer. An Ordinary Wonder is a powerful coming-of-age story that explores complex desires as well as challenges of family, identity, gender, and culture, and what it means to feel whole.

Shelley in Haiti
Author: Shelley Jean
Publisher: Shelley in Haiti
ISBN: 9780999353301
Category : Poverty
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Shelley Jean traveled to Haiti determined to adopt an orphan she had discovered online. Although she was already the mother of two biological children, expanding her family by embracing a displaced child was, in part, a fulfillment of her compassionate Christian faith. But when she witnessed the agony many Haitian women experienced when poverty -not lack of love-forced them to give up their children to orphanages, she was outraged. Soon, a new mission blossomed. As she came to better understand and appreciate the people of Haiti, Shelley had a vision of creating jobs that would help some parents earn an income so that they could support their babies and raise them to become productive adults. ..". Shelley's absolute passion and commitment for the human right to a dignified livelihood ... is palpable." -Jennifer Gootman, vice president, Social Consciousness & Innovation, West Elm Despite her own domestic challenges and, at times, the doubts about God's providence that arose after witnessing the devastation caused by earthquakes and hurricanes, Shelley's trial-and-error approach took hold. First, she taught a small group of mothers how to make artisanal products that she now markets worldwide. But she did not stop there. " ... what she's made of herself, as this unflinching story reveals, is a servant ... if this book doesn't inspire you, nothing will." -Mary Fisher, American activist and author Papillon Enterprise, which began as Apparent Project, now has a global reach that has been recognized and praised by Oprah, Vogue Magazine, The Gap, and designer Donna Karan. But there were many sacrifices and defeats along the way. As Shelley sought to reshape the economic landscape of a small nation in dire need of help, she also restored her own ravaged beliefs so that she and her family could emerge stronger and with their faith intact. This memoir is ideal for women of all faiths who know in their hearts that the cruel world can be transformed by love. For men, this unique search for truth sheds light on the undeniable power of the feminine spirit.
