Where other books about rape weave the voices of feminists and activists together and imagine what a world without violence might look like, Dear Sister describes the reality of what the world looks like through the eyes of a survivor. Written in an epistolary format, this multi-generational, multi-ethnic collection of letters and essays is a moving journey into the hearts and minds of the survivors of rape, incest, and other forms of sexual violence, written directly to and for other survivors.ĭear Sister goes far beyond traditional books about healing, which often use "experts" to explain the experience of survivors for the rest of the world. Please consider visiting the AK Press website to learn more about the fundraiser to help them and their neighbors.ĭear Sister shares the lessons, memories, and vision of over fifty artists, activists, mothers, writers, and students who share their stories of survival or what it means to be an advocate and ally to survivors.

Hold this tight to your heart: it wasn't your fault.Īt night when you lay there and your mind fills with images and you wonder if only, if you had. It wasn't your fault it was never your fault.

Sophia was the fifth of his six surviving children, but her parents’ marriage was undermined by her father’s profligacy and promiscuity. In recompense for his lost inheritance, he was paid an annual sum of £25,000 (roughly equivalent to £2.5 million today) and bought Elveden Hall in Suffolk, which he completely overhauled so that its interior resembled a Mughal palace and where he entertained on a dangerously lavish scale. The ‘brutal’ poll that spells bad news for Joe Bidenīy the time he arrived in England in 1854, Duleep Singh may have lost his kingdom and converted to Christianity, but he still dressed like Indian royalty and at 15 was strikingly handsome, becoming a favourite protégé of Queen Victoria. As in his previous efforts ( The Monstrumologist, 2009, etc.), Yancey excels in creating an alternative world informed by just enough logic and sociology to make it feel close enough to our own. She then embarks on a mission to rescue her brother. Cassie escapes, only to see her dad (and everyone else) brutally executed by their so-called protectors. Cassie, her dad and the rest of the adults are then divested of their weapons and marched into a bunker by their protectors. Together, the three wait out the titular fifth in a military base for survivors until school buses arrive to take all children to safety, including her brother Sam. Sixteen-year-old Cassie, her brother Sam and her dad survived the first four gruesome waves of the attack. The challenge? Surviving the genocide of the human race when aliens attack Earth in the not-too-distant future. They allowed my artist dreams to return, and for me to finally live them. Words, my words and those of others (Dodie Bellamy, Maggie Nelson, Roxane Gay), allowed me to pick up a pencil, a paintbrush, after so long without. Which led to obsessive drawing, then painting, then-good lord-even an obsession with NFTs. Obsessive writing soon led to obsessive reading. And more than just the to-do lists of before. I didn’t keep a journal.Īnd then, at age 30, I suddenly found myself writing. As an art dealer, I didn’t read a single book that wasn’t written by a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. In college, I took one required Intro to English course, which I put off until my senior year. For most of my twenties, I worked as an art dealer, surrounded by art but never making it for myself-not until I started writing. Then something changed, and I stopped creating altogether. After throwing myself into art as a teenager and getting a Fine Art degree from UCLA, I had big-time artist dreams as a young adult. Sounds dramatic, but writing is what ended my ten-year stint as a blocked shadow artist. If not for writing, I would not be an artist. She has a few rules of her own: - They will have dinner together every evening.- With conversation.- And unlimited teasing.- Last, and most importantly… Once she’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop her from falling in love… More Information: No questions about his battle scars.- Last, and most importantly… Once she’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.īut Emma is no pushover. His terms are simple: - They will be husband and wife by night only.- No lights, no kissing. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar’s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she’ll do. He needs an heir-which means he needs a wife. Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne’er-do-wells by night. When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules… The Duchess Deal Length: 7 hrs and 56 mins Instilling fear activates the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight) and blocks the parasympathetic system (soothing)-the exact opposite of what children need. Now the little child has two big emotions that they can’t express or release. But that just adds fear or anger to the emotion that was already there. Some parents shout, hit, or threaten to get children not to cry, whine, or tantrum. They need us to accept all their emotions as normal, natural, and healthy. This is exhausting and frustrating for parents and harmful for children. Parents use up an incredible amount of energy trying to get children to stop having or showing emotions. Step 3: Accept feelings, for as long as they take Or when Franny tried to show off her just-debugged Biggerizer to her little brother, Freddy. "That's nice, Franny," he said without even looking up from his newspaper. I genetically engineered a real cow for the portability that today's baby-on-the-go demands. Like when Franny presented her recently perfected Personal Cow to her father. This was Franny's bedroom, and she loved it more than anyplace else in the whole world, because this was where she came up with some of the most exciting new ideas in mad science.īut, as is often case for mad scientists, it was impossible to get her friends and family to take her work seriously. Everything, that is, except the bedroom behind the tiny, round upstairs window. Everything about the house was bright and cheery. The Stein family lived in a pretty pink house with lovely purple shutters down at the end of Daffodil Street. Like the book’s main character, I’ve met a few people who have changed my perception of life. For some people, this Mitch Albom book can help them see the world a bit differently.īut, the thing I really like about this book is that it mirrors some of my philosophies and beliefs. But, oftentimes, the best and most impactful words of wisdom come from a page-turning fiction novel.Īnd, the Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom is, no doubt, one of those books. Sure, there are plenty of things you can learn from the self-help section. And, the most powerful stories, just like The Five People You Meet In Heaven, even change our lives forever. What’s more, these books help shape our future, give us new perspectives and influence the way we think. With their spellbinding plots and fascinating characters, they transport us into alternative universes and take us on epic adventures. Novels can be eye-opening and incredibly inspiring.
