Cissy (297 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The definitive account of Whitney Houston's astonishing life, ground-breaking career, and tragic death -- complete with never-before-seen photographs -- from the only one who truly knows the story behind the headlines: her mother, Cissy Houston. Cissy has said little publicly about Whitney's heart-breaking death. Now, for the first time, she opens up and shares the unbelievable story of her daughter's life, as well as her own, and addresses Whitney's brightest and darkest moments. A legendary Grammy Award-winning gospel singer in her own right, Cissy Houston shows how the lessons from her own musical journey helped to shape Whitney's career -- from teaching Whitney to use her voice, to keeping her level-headed throughout her meteoric rise to fame. With candor and respect, she sets the record straight about Whitney, exploring both her turbulent marriage and her misunderstood struggles with drug abuse. Cissy goes behind the tabloid headlines to show fans around the world the true, human side of a strong, successful -- yet flawed -- musical icon who died much too young.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In September of 1941 German armies marched through eastern Poland into Russia, and a Polish Jew, Miriam Kornitsky, only thirteen years old, was sent by her parents into the dark forests of White Russia to hide from the invaders. This book is not about the events of World War I; Miriam did not know the history that forced her parents to send their child into the forest and isolate her from them and her brothers. This book is about a young girl's will to survive, and her ability to live with loneliness and the constant threat of death. Miriam's father taught her that the forest could protect her. Miriam's Way is based upon true life experiences of Miriam Kenisberg from 1941 through 1946. Few people who escaped to the forests survived until the end of the War. Young Miriam Kornitsky, (the character based upon Miriam Kenisberg) was one of them. After the War, life in Europe was tumultuous and disorienting, all the more so for a seventeen year old refugee without family or friends. Her emotional struggle to adjust in a confusing European society after the War was almost as difficult as her struggle to survive in the forests. Miriam's survival was not a miracle. Her endurance and the will to live helped, but childhood training was her ultimate survival kit. She used the skills her father taught her and proved she learned the lessons well. Miriam's Way tells a personal history of World War I and the Holocaust in a way not often shared. The book is about authentic heroes, individual achievement and relationships with nature. It is a moving account of an important story, a wonderful read for teenagers and adults.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. When the time is right for sailing, the Polynesian voyaging canoe Ar'i-ati-tai sets off from Tahiti for islands far to the north where no one in memory has sailed before. Passengers and crew crowd the decks and say goodbye forever to their homeland. In command is high chief and navigator Vahi-roa, grandfather to the boy Teva. Teva is torn betweem sadness and pride, and he is troubled by doubts. Yet he knows he must face the challenges of the voyage in order to learn his "grandfather's sky"--the accumulated knowledge of many generations of wayfinders. Will they survive the long voyage? Will the chants guide them to their destination? Will Vahi-roa's knowledge sustain them? Or will the unknown swallow them all, as it did Teva's father? This story is the human side of a most extraordinary historical accomplishment--the voyage from Tahiti to Hawai'i by the ancient Polynesians, who without maps or charts but armed with a vast understanding of sea and sky, crossed thousands of miles of open ocean. Told from the point of view of a child, To Find the Way is a story of courage and survival, of coming of age, and of learning to trust the ancient knowledge of a seafaring people. Gray, Cissy (illustrator).…
