I Will Survive
Author: Gloria Gaynor
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466865954
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.

Fadimatu
Author: Jennifer Mitton
Publisher: Fredericton, N.B. : Goose Lane
ISBN: 9780864921215
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
In Fadimatu, Jennifer Mitton performs a feat worthy of far more experienced writers. In this intricately layered and wryly humorous novel, she tells the story of a young Nigerian woman caught between the irreconcilable extremes of westernized lifestyle and traditional tribal culture. Fadimatu's social position militates against her ambition. Her father is a bicycle repairman whose get-rich-quick schemes never seem to materialize. A talented calabash carver, Fadimatu's mother is dismissed by her father because she cannot read. So Fadimatu is thrown on her wits, which prove to be considerable. Capturing the rhythm of everyday life with an eye for detail and an ear for the cadences of speech, Mitton has written an episodic novel which charts a young woman's journey through a turbulent world of change, through a society performing a balancing act between modernity and traditionalism, between Christianity and Islam, between western influences and the tribal traditions of the Hausa, Bachama, Ibo and Tiv.
