A mother's violent death. A daughter's search for answers in small town America.Left an orphan at six years old in 1976, Kandace DeLain Davis grew up in Crossville, Illinois, at her grandparents' kitschy roadside motor lodge. Seven years earlier, at the Anna State Hospital, Davis's mother, Mary Ellen Stein, had met her father at what was once known as The Illinois Southern Hospital for the Insane, after suffering from mental illness and addiction most of her adult life. When Mary Ellen was found dead in 1976 with a knife protruding from her chest, her family believed it must be suicide. Fast forward to 2015 when Davis discovered a tiny article from her local small town newspaper, dated not long after her mother's death, and Davis feared she may not have the full story. This newspaper clipping took her on a four-year journey, navigating through court documents and records of her mother's over one hundred hospitalizations, searching for the truth of her mother's death. Was this a case of die by suicide, or was she murdered?In Out of the Night that Covers Me, Davis narrates her family's history and details her investigation into the years, months, weeks, and days leading to her mother's death. Not only does Davis reveal stories of her mother's life, but she also lovingly shares anecdotes from the life of her grandmother, Faire DeLain Stein. Faire was a woman who made boundless sacrifices to protect the innocent victims of her husband Alvin's tyrannical behavior and Mary Ellen's mental illness. Davis includes letters, diary entries, photos, court transcripts, and re-enactments, and these cherished heirlooms tell a heartbreaking but triumphant story. The author interweaves her present day quest for answers with the pivotal events of her family's early years and her youth in small town America. This multi-generational family drama examines the decades-long domino effect of unhealthy choices of previous generations and the inherited heartache. However, surprising to readers, they will feel the enduring love of these three generations and realize how much we still have left to learn about mental illness. While Davis searches through her family's history, we take a front row seat to Midwest life from the Roaring Twenties through the sixties and seventies. The Stein family story speaks to the global issues of rising suicide rates, struggles to overcome addiction, and the continued poor treatment of mentally ill individuals. As a contrast, on Davis's path of discovery, themes of friendship, love, and survival shine through as her loved ones and much of her family support her search. But most of all, the author's investigation of her family's tragedy in southern Illinois leads readers to a surprise ending where Davis learns that actually... the truth can set us free.

In Depression-era Gainesville, Georgia, little E. J. "Gene" Reynolds pretended to be a preacher. At 3 and 4 years old, he "preached" on the porch steps for the amusement of his grandpa and the neighbors. When he was 8, 9, and 10-his third grade years-he sometimes skipped school and wandered through the woods preaching to the trees. When he was 10 years old, Gene decided on my name: his first son would be Randall because he had heard it somewhere and liked it, and Eugene to carry on his name. 9 years later, I was born (first of the six children Violet Appling Reynolds would bear between 1949 and 1958) and Gene's boyhood decision went onto my birth certificate: Randall Eugene Reynolds was in the world. How do I know this? Because my dad told me these stories multiple times per decade from his 20s through his 80s. He was a masterful storyteller in the pulpit as well as on the screened-in porch of the country parsonage near Lee Road in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, (our home for a decade.) There, we sometimes gathered at dusk after our evening meal and listened to his train-of-thought memories. In the 1960s, he also shared his stories during our long drives from Covington, Louisiana, to Gainesville, Georgia, to visit relatives; trips taken at night in an un-airconditioned car. He'd talk through the night, one story after another, his mind in another era, while driving 50 miles per hour on winding two-lane highways. My five siblings and mother would eventually be lulled to sleep by his pleasant voice, but I, on the floorboard behind his seat, paid close attention and visualized scenes as he spoke.

Many may stake claims to the truthfulness of the notion of reincarnation. In many African cultures we refer to our young as "Old souls", who have been here a lived other lifetime, but just do not have a recollection of it. Often the young seem to have more maturity and morality than that of a learned adult, and humans like to attribute this to a supernatural process called evolving thru the afterlife. Through the years I have had the experience of being around transition and having several family members succumb to it in this lifetime. Considering the many occurrences and stories told throughout the years as someone experiencing their deceased loved ones in one shape or another, whether via dreams, visitations, mediumship, tarot, or psychic readings, there are some who believe in the supernatural metaphysically speaking occurrences just like some things we see in everyday life seems to be unreal, but they are real.

In 2009, shortly after her mom passed away, Trude discovered a cardboard box containing a worn, cloth-bound journal. Inside, she found short personal essays written by the grandmother she had never met. This collection of words from her namesake, which reveals the wisdom gained by a Jewish immigrant from Nazi Germany, leapt from the pages and into Trude's heart. In Small Things, Trude shares these essays along with her own reflections."Most often, strangers to our shores, like Trude Grunwald, help us reacquaint ourselves with our values and attitudes, and reintroduce us to the importance of the freedoms we should hold dear."- Marilyn Turkovich, Executive Director, Voices Education Project

Throughout World War II the United States operated a nationwide gulag for 'dangerous enemy aliens.' The story of this prison archipelago would have remained hidden were it not for the memories of its human commerce and the Freedom of Information Act.Encouraged by President Franklin Roosevelt, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI rounded up nearly 11,000 people of German ancestry, including Jewish refugees from occupied Europe and over 4,000 residents of Latin America and sentenced them to this nationwide gulag.Weaving together first-person interviews and government records in this unique study, Fox tells the story of internment and exclusion.'A fascinating and chilling account.... The oral histories breathe Kafkaesque life into the written record. More than putting flesh on bare bones, the oral histories make credible what is otherwise an almost unbelievable tale.' -The Oral History Review'Thoroughly documented, excellent sources, fine index, must reading for all concerned about a repetition and ... erosion of American civil liberties.' -Society for German-American Studies Newsletter'What sets 'Against All Enemies' apart from other studies of ethnic German wartime internment and exclusion is the degree to which those directly impacted relate the story. Through their own simple, occasionally passionate words, they offer a compelling tale of the human cost of internment and exclusion.' -Yearbook of German-American Studies'Must reading for all concerned about a repetition and erosion of civil liberties.' -Society for German-American Studies Newsletter

During the mayhem in Charlottesville, Virginia that caused bodily harm to several anti-hate protestors and the death of Heather Heyer, the spiritual realm was wide open with demonic spirits as the head instigators.

Eigentlich war vom Ich-Erzähler des Buches ein Reisebericht über die gemeinsamen Reisen in ihre zweite Heimat Nepal geplant - doch dann verstarb seine Frau. Ist es einem Schlag auf den Kopf zuzuschreiben, den Alpträumen eines leeren Lebens, dass er sich plötzlich mitten im Winter in einem abstrakten Hotel wiederfindet, das genauso gut eine Aufbahrungshalle sein könnte? Erinnerungen an Erlebtes und Gesehenes vermischen sich zu skurrilen Gedanken und Träumen.Fragen über die Bedeutung von Leben und Tod, dem Paradies, Jenseits und Hiob tauchen auf. Erging es ihm wie diesem, dass er aus dem Paradies, aus dem gemeinsamen Glück mit seiner geliebten Frau hinausgeworfen wurde? Muss man erst freiwillig auf Hab und Gut verzichten und heilig werden wie die Sadhus in Nepal, um für immer glückselig sein zu können? Doch selbst dabei verliert er seine geliebte Frau an einen anderen und er möchte wieder zurück in ein normales Leben.Über die Traum-Reise gemeinsamer Erlebnisse und Erinnerungen erhalten wir durch die ausführlichen Beschreibungen Einblick in eine uns fremde Kultur mit deren viel entspannterem Umgang mit dem Tod und erfahren, dass man mit dem Akzeptieren des Unvermeidlichen nach der Trauer wie Phönix in ein neues Leben mit neuem Glück hineingeboren werden kann.

The journal of Harvey G. Meyer, relating his adventures and observations while in the merchant marine immediately after the close of World War I, on a trip from New York to Argentina.

Confessions of a Government Man is filled with astute, often hilarious memoirs of Alan Greenberg's thirty-nine year career with the U.S. General Services Administration. His real-life tales of deception and sleight-of-hand maneuvers in high government places include a cast of characters worthy of Hollywood.A few of his stories are a bit risqué and some show that incisive philosophical advice sometimes comes from the most unlikely sources. Throughout we see plenty of salty New York culture. At various times Greenberg was threatened with arrest and contempt of court, detained at gunpoint by a judge, had an off-the-cuff wisecrack end up on national television, and even had a curse put on him by a spiritual leader. Through it all he maintained his sense of humor. Greenberg gives us a true insider's vantage point. With contracting authority for a stack of taxpayer money which had the potential to provide a lot of lifetime meal tickets, it was little wonder that Greenberg was very popular with the construction industry and any politician with an eye for publicity. Many of his stories give the reader insight into realities that media coverage somehow missed. Reporters, in their zeal to dig up dirt, often followed minutia while the true stories went unreported. One example was the $10 million "savings" to a project, which was actually a $40 million addition. Amazingly, nobody was the wiser. Experience is the best teacher, and during his many years on the job, Alan Greenberg knew what it was like to be under siege by the media, the Congress, the White House and concerned citizens. He developed rules of survival that enabled him to be a success in the large, complex bureaucracy of our government. He shares these years with us, happily turning them into a delightful and entertaining romp. Alan L. Greenberg, a product of New York and with an attitude to match, retired as the senior official with the Public Buildings Service of the U.S. General Services Administration - Northeast and Caribbean Region. He had management responsibility for a billion dollar real estate and construction program and supervised a staff of over four hundred people. During his career he had hands-on responsibility for some of the largest and most controversial federal construction projects in the country. He had dealt with presidents, big city mayors, members of Congress, judges, military leaders and giants of industry as well as community activists, labor unions, militant coalitions and a generous share of petty thieves and con artists. Through it all he had demonstrated a unique and successful leadership style and an ever-present sense of humor, often making light of things others might take just a bit too seriously.

WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF COLOUR IMAGES! "Just after the Border Forest, a carload of excited, waving people passed us going in the opposite direction. We knew we had reached Scotland at last! The boys cheered. My mother and I were home again, in that land of soaring mountains, rushing burns and ancient glens." - From sparkling lochs to mountain tops, a family rediscovers their Scottish roots! Driving long distances in a short space of time throughout the United Kingdom is the norm nowadays. However, in the seventies it was often an adventure to cover the length or breadth of Britain.

Fascinating Scottish Memorabilia - The Scottish Connection contains a wealth of information - Scottish ancestry, historical facts, genealogy, comparable 1978 prices, geographical descriptions, personal anecdotes, nostalgia and precious old photos. Excerpt: "A little way out of Aberfoyle we found the lodge on the Craigenveoch estate where my mother and family had lived. On warm, summer evenings she, Jack and Ray leaned out of their bedroom windows, watching their parents sing along with friends to gramophone music as they rowed across Loch Ard. The loch was described by Sir Walter Scott as a 'beautiful sheet of water ... a spacious mirror'."

Ella no podía mantenerme y yo fui la primera en ser abandonada.Irma Guzmán, hija mayor de la unión de Ezequiel y Ramona, cargó con una suerte de incontables penurias: el temprano abandono de su madre, el maltrato constante de su padre, intentos de violación, traiciones, depresión y pérdidas.

Haciendo gala de una admirable honestidad, Irma invita al lector a enfrentarse con la realidad de su propia vida, e insiste en que, pese a las desgracias, los mejores caminos siempre serán los del amor, el perdón y la gracia de Dios.

BOOK DESCRIPTION FOR LAURIAT - A CELEBRATION OF FAMILYOnce in a great while, a memoir like "Lauriat - A Celebration of Family" delivers a breath of fresh air because of the lightness of spirit with which it guides the reader through what many often feel are insignificant and ordinary mundane happenings in the life of a large, ordinary middle class family with nine children, a mother who loves to cook, and a father who believes that "tsia si hok" eating is prosperity. But it is in such ordinary things that real gems are hidden, if one knows how to look. Set in the sixties and the seventies, amidst the colorful environs of downtown Avenida Rizal in Manila, the canvass of life revolves around the Ong family and weaves us through the scenes of school, wet market, kitchen, home, and neighborhood. Local colors are abundant which depict rich cultural tomes of home cooked meals, childhood games, street foods, household help, disciplinary practices, common sense remedies for ailments, and family traditions. Enriched by the maxims of their Mama and Papa, Lydia and her siblings venture through their studies and their lives buoyed up by a firm resolve to reach for their dreams. Empowered by the support of home with its good food and good cheer, the children felt not pressure but a gentle yet firm push towards their various ends and goals. Training to be responsible early in life goes a long way towards shaping up the person one eventually becomes. This was instilled early on in the children of Mariano and Sion. The siblings, although vastly different in temperaments and aptitudes, never the less experience the cohesiveness of family and grow up with a strong sense of it. Growing up has its ups and downs, the reader would be amused to witness the unique manner Aling Sion gives out her particular style of discipline. Even here, the humor that attends such sessions does not escape the onlooker. This book is unique in that it is not saddled by the heavy burden of ancestral history that haunts generations but prefers to look at family life events with neutral eyes and only later to view them within the vaster totality of life. Seen from this vantage point, the seemingly separate and independent series of events never fail to bring one back again and again to the core theme of purpose and goal which Mariano and Sion have managed to successfully bring across to all their children....that life carries hope and limitless possibilities.....and education is the key to all of it.The much treasured recipes of Aling Sion are given a treatment like no other. And I think Mama would be pleased to share them with those who are interested. Lydia assures you that you would not be disappointed. And for those of you who are curious how we managed to eat chicken at all when we couldn't buy them already dressed, you would be happy to realize how lucky you all are now because the process was not easy at all. And you might not believe it if I tell you that school is enjoyable. But it is. Find out how our parents honed that enthusiasm in us, and in doing so, enabled us to excel in our studies. The lives of Mariano and Sion came to a full completion surrounded by family. As they lived, so they died....surrounded by family. This memoir celebrates them.

¿Cuánto puede uno sentir? ¿Cuánto puede alguien clavársenos en la sien, que se vuelva nuestra musa inagotable, nuestra perseverante alegría y nuestro tormento interminable? El amor solo cambia de forma es un diario que el autor va tejiendo con el pasar de los años, con la aguja penetrante de su pluma, en delicadas telas de amor y pasión, y de vez en cuando en tejidos que no son otra cosa que su preocupación por situaciones de la cotidianidad de los días. Las madrugadas, abonos del recuerdo, son regularmente las espectadoras de aquel mar de palabras; aunque no se escapan mañana, tarde y noche. Sobre todo, no se escapa Ella, aquel cambiante y nunca nombrado ser que ha condenado al autor a hacer ofrendas con cada escrito.El jazz y la admiración generalizada por lo musical, el ardoroso beso, el cuestionamiento constante, el diálogo perspicaz... son, sencillamente, las muchas maneras en las que el autor sabe decir Te quiero. Busca o espera, o ambas cosas a la vez, pero su corazón siempre lo agita un sentimiento grave.Tienes, lector, a lo mejor el corazón de un hombre que puede decir con orgullo que ha amado.Yo te busco a ti... yo te espero a ti.José L. Reyes
