Book Description
On a hot August morning in 1892 in a town in the Italian province of Avellino, in secrecy in the cellar under the house of a prominent family, a baby girl, unplanned and unwanted, was born. Her adoptive parents named her Alessandra. Her birthright remained a secret for years to come. In Without the One There Can Be No OtherThe Many Forces of Destiny, author Alessandra L. Matteo tells a fictionalized account of her paternal grandmothers life beginning from her birth in Italy, her travels to America for an arranged marriage to an Italian man, her life in the United States overcoming illiteracy, and the formation of her own family. This memoir narrates how Alessandra didnt live a life of privilege or the entitlement of wealth, which was her birthright. Hers was one of hard work, sacrifice, love of family, and the need to keep everyone she loved near. This memoir shares the story of a woman who had an indomitable spirit, was intelligent, courageous, determined, tenderhearted, hard-working, loving, and generous as well as flawed, imperfect, quick-tempered, stubborn, willful and, at times, childish in her expectations of those she loved. Though her life was beset with tragedy, denial, and rejection, Alessandra was an extraordinary womandetermined, courageous, and blessed with a pioneer spirit.

Is There No Other Way: Exploring Growth Through Grief
Author: Emily Adams
Publisher: Cfi
ISBN: 9781462138654
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
After experiencing the devastation of losing one of our identical twin boys, I was exposed to a world of sorrow formerly unimagined. With new eyes opened to the heartbreak of the women surrounding me, I undertook the daunting task of researching the universality of suffering, primarily by documenting the stories of fifty women concentrated in a five-mile radius. These accounts of tragedy and hope are intermingled with scriptural accounts, the words of modern-day apostles and prophets, psychological and sociological views, as well as my own experiences. This book is a tapestry of vast human experience, covering a wide array of challenges including infertility, loss, abuse, mental and physical health issues, suicide, financial stress, divorce, addiction, and more. And yet, despite the myriad of trials and accompanying grief, these women exemplify testimonies of faith, resilience, and love. As they move through the three phases of a Grief to Growth Mindset (Victim to Survivor to Contributor), I document helpful tools for embracing, moving through, and learning to assist others because of our sorrows.

Book Description
The way which God Himself prescribed as the road to Salvation, is still the only way available. The route has not changed. It will never change. No theory, thesis or assumption; can change the fact, that all men were born in Sin. And Sin, purchased death for all applicable. The only alternative to death, is to embrace the Salvation procured for us by the Blood of the risen Christ. To follow Jesus, is to go towards the Light. Every other route, is most certainly to end in eternal damnation.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Backfire: You Reap What You Sow is more than a book, it’s a mind-blowing story about two brothers confronted with the difficult challenge of commitment, death of dishonesty, unconditional love, romance and a burning desire of hate as they strive to escape a life of endless poverty. While one measures success through breaking the law, the other has a knack for doing the right thing until he finds himself teamed up with his brother’s right-hand man Ziggy, who handpicked a group of local thugs who are always dressed to kill, and who will stop at nothing to put their ruthless skills to use. Things grow even more complicated when tangled clues to hunt down a confidential informant turn into something far more dangerous than anyone expected. Terrible misfortune strikes. Innocent victims are gunned down, leaving a racist homicide detective to bring the killers to justice and investigate the urban community that has become battlegrounds for the brothers, who wish there was a greater distance between them and the evil doors they opened to sinful acts that backfire. This body of work brings forth an innovative way of telling a story and will touch the heart and soul of all hood novel lovers. About the Author Wayne R. Hampton Jr. was born and raised in North Philadelphia, Pa., during a period of time when there was a lot of poverty and you had to be innovative to survive. He aspired to be a rapper and has attained some level of fame and success locally as a rap artist, performing in various venues throughout the city. Through his writing of rap lyrics, he developed a love for storytelling. This novel taps into the secret compartments of his mind to create a story based upon his many experiences and the experiences of those he encountered along the way.
