Signs of Life

Signs of Life

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor, Natalie, PUBLISHER: Broadway Books, "I know. I know. No one says it but I know..." --from "Signs of Life" Twenty-four-year-old Natalie Taylor was leading a charmed life. At the age of twenty four, she had a fulfilling job as a high school English teacher, a wonderful husband, a new house and a baby on the way. Then, while visiting her sister, she gets the news that Josh has died in a freak accident. Four months before the birth of her son, Natalie is leveled by loss. What follows is an incredibly powerful emotional journey, as Natalie calls upon resources she didn't even know she had in order to re-imagine and re-build a life for her and her son. In vivid and immediate detail, Natalie documents her life from the day of Josh's death through the birth their son, Kai, as she struggles in her role as a new mother where everyone is watching her for signs of impending collapse. With honesty, raw pain, and most surprising, a wicked sense of humor, Natalie recounts the agonies and unexpected joys of her new life. There is the frustration of holidays, navigating the relationship with her in-laws, the comfort she finds and unlikely friendship she forges in support groups and the utterly breathtaking, but often overwhelming new motherhood. When she returns to the classroom, she finds that little is more healing than the honesty and egocentricity of teenagers. Drawing on lessons from beloved books like "The Color Purple" and "The Catcher in the Rye" and the talk shows she suddenly can't get enough of, from the strength of her family and friends, and from a rich fantasy life--including a saucy fairy godmother who guides her grieving--Natalie embarks on the ultimate journey of self-discovery and realizes you can sometimes find the best in yourself during the worst life has to offer. And she delivers these lessons, in way that feels like she's right beside you in her bathrobe and with a glass of wine--the cool, funny girlfriend you love to stay up all night with. Unforgettable and utterly absorbing, "Signs of Life" features a powerful, wholly original debut voice that will have you crying and laughing to the very last page.

Whoopi Goldberg: Her Journey from Poverty to Megastardom

Whoopi Goldberg: Her Journey from Poverty to Megastardom

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Parrish, James Robert / Parish, James Robert, PUBLISHER: Birch Lane Press, Karen Johnson, born in , was raised by her mother in the racially mixed Chelsea district of New York City. By ninth grade she had quit school and spent most of her time in Central Park searching for drugs. While Karen Johnson's experiences may seem like many urban horror stories, hers took a dramatic turn the day she decided to move west and change her name to Whoopi Goldberg. Relocating to San Diego with Alexandrea, her daughter from her first marriage to her drug counselor, was not easy. She lived on welfare and scrambled for whatever jobs she could get, including work as a bricklayer and a makeup artist for a mortician. While in San Diego, Whoopi joined an improvisational troupe where she honed her comedic talents. She began doing standup comedy, eventually moving to San Francisco, where her one-woman program was discovered by director/producer Mike Nichols. Nichols brought her show to Broadway, and she won a Grammy for it. But her big break came when Steven Spielberg cast Whoopi in the demanding role of Celle in the film version of Alice Walker's novel The Color Purple, a performance that won a Golden Globe award and an Oscar nomination. She went on to win an Academy Award for her role in Ghost. Whoopi Goldberg had finally made it big. Whoopi Goldberg: Her Journey From Poverty to Mega-Stardom goes behind the scenes to examine: - How her secret romance with married actor Ted Danson climaxed in the "notorious" Friars club roast - Whoopi's confrontation with her absentee father, who died of AIDS in - Her three failed marriages and her once troubled relationship with her daughter - Her legendary feud with Disney studio management over the making of Sister Act -Why her precedent-setting hosting of the Academy Awards ceremonies in and set the film industry on edge - Her verbal confrontations with prominent African Americans, including Jesse Jackson and Spike Lee This insightful biography traces the life and career of this multitalented artist, exploring what makes her tick, how her irreverent and irrepressible persona gets her into trouble, why she is such a workaholic, and how this unconventional lady has earned the unexpected reputation as a femme fatale.

HUR - Un ospedale italiano sul lago Vittoria

HUR - Un ospedale italiano sul lago Vittoria

HUR - Un ospedale italiano sul lago Vittoria, scritto da Luigi Gentilini. Volume di 367 pagine, Editoriale Il Ponte. Seconda edizione: marzo . "...era il , stava maturando in Gentilini un nuovo e più ambizioso progetto che avrebbe interessato il cuore dell'Africa, quel tratto della Rift Valley nel territorio dei grandi laghi che ha visto l'origine dell'Homo Sapiens. L'idea era stata concepita a Pantelleria e iniziavano a prendere corpo le cosiddette "Missioni", dal al , che rappresentano il cuore di questo libro: la storia di una vita. I primi vent'anni in Africa; poi gli studi universitari e la professione di chirurgo, instancabile e coraggioso. All'interno sono racchiusi i "diari di bordo" che raccontano le tappe della preparazione del progetto lungo le coste e le isole dell'immenso lago Vittoria: vivide immagini di intense giornate di lavoro, briefing mattutini, interventi chirurgici talvolta molto complessi, visite pomeridiane ai pazienti operati, incontri con infermieri e suore, momenti di didattica. Ma anche semplici episodi di vita quotidiana tra la gente. Sono i racconti di uno spirito libero, "Hur", che non rinuncia alla curiosità del viaggiatore. Suggestiva è la descrizione di un'escursione sul lago Tanganica, non priva di rischi. La valle è infestata dalle mosche "tse tse" responsabili della temibile encefalite letargica, la cosiddetta "malattia del sonno". Non è un problema: i finestrini vengono chiusi ermeticamente e le mosche "si spiaccicano" sul parabrezza. Superato il pericolo, all'improvviso, compare azzurro e bellissimo il più antico lago del mondo. La tentazione del bagno è troppo forte per resistere, anche a rischio di incontrare qualche coccodrillo. Sull'immenso lago navigherà il catamarano raggiungendo i "popoli dell'acqua", lontani da strutture ospedaliere spesso rese inaccessibili da alluvioni che trasformano le vie di transito in sentieri fangosi e impraticabili. Un ospedale galleggiante che andrà "incontro ai pazienti". Un progetto semplice e ardito che porterà il nome di una "giovane donna meravigliosa": Sister Levina. Nel libro si avvicendano tanti personaggi femminili. Alima, Ester, Lucia. Ma l'immagine di Levina, segnata dalla sua improvvisa scomparsa, risalta tra tutte. E' la donna che ha indicato il percorso che unisce il cuore dell'Africa al Mediterraneo. Un pomeriggio, mentre respiravamo a pieni polmoni il profumo del piccolo bosco sul lago, Levina mi aveva fatto notare come le piante del caffè e delle banane crescono più sane, più saporite e profumate, se piantate vicine: Kukua pamoja. In lingua swahili vuol dire "crescere assieme". Se in tutti noi crescerà questa grande idea si avvererà la profezia di Levina. E il sogno si realizzerà(ass. AMEC)".

One Amazing Thing

One Amazing Thing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee, PUBLISHER: Hyperion Books, "Divakaruni is a brilliant storyteller; she illuminates the world with her artistry; and shakes the reader with her love." --Junot Diaz Late afternoon sun sneaks through the windows of a passport and visa office in an unnamed American city. Most customers and even most office workers have come and gone, but nine people remain. A punky teenager with an unexpected gift. An upper-class Caucasian couple whose relationship is disintegrating. A young Muslim-American man struggling with the fallout of 9/11. A graduate student haunted by a question about love. An African-American ex-soldier searching for redemption. A Chinese grandmother with a secret past. And two visa office workers on the verge of an adulterous affair. When an earthquake rips through the afternoon lull, trapping these nine characters together, their focus first jolts to their collective struggle to survive. There's little food. The office begins to flood. Then, at a moment when the psychological and emotional stress seems nearly too much for them to bear, the young graduate student suggests that each tell a personal tale, "one amazing thing" from their lives, which they have never told anyone before. And as their surprising stories of romance, marriage, family, political upheaval, and self-discovery unfold against the urgency of their life-or-death circumstances, the novel proves the transcendent power of stories and the meaningfulness of human expression itself. From Chitra Divakaruni, author of such finely wrought, bestselling novels as Sister of My Heart, The Palace of Illusions, and The Mistress of Spices, comes her most compelling and transporting story to date. One Amazing Thing is a passionate creation about survival--and about the reasons to survive. Praise for One Amazing Thing "The plot of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's new novel could be ripped from the horrifying headlines about Haiti in a strange case of art imitating life....One Amazing Thing, which was written well before the Haiti earthquake, is receiving high praise." --USA Today "The appeal of these life stories, like that of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, is that they throw the spotlight onto varied lives, each with its own joys and miseries. Together, the stories show how easy it is to divert young lives into unforeseen and restrictive channels, and how hard it is for people to realize their early dreams. Their shared experiences and fears form the frame that holds together this compendium of short stories into an absorbing novel....At the end of her novel, her readers are fully engaged in what will happen to those nine people." --Washington Post "Hauntingly beautiful....One Amazing Thing is a page-turner with high drama, elegant writing, and lots of helpful tips for teamwork in a crisis." --Houston Chronicle "Her fiction is so intimate that it often seems as if cultural context is irrelevant. Her character's dreams and disappointment
