Paperback. Zustand: Like New. Born into the baby boomer generation, Mary Helen Fein's values and choices often typified the time. At age five, she identified what she calls 'Moments of knowing': moments of knowing more about love and creativity.  As a child, her father was a loving successful New Yorker who left her mother to remarry another woman. Fein's own mother was very beautiful, but desperately poor and an alcoholic, living in the projects on welfare. To get by, she remarried - but the man was evil, a child molester and a cruel stepfather. Fein traveled back and forth from coast to coast, spending school years with her mother and stepfather, and summers with her father, loving grandmother, and new stepmother.  At age thirteen her mother dies, and Fein embarked on a new life in an upper-class New York suburb. Over the next thirty years she journeys through careers and healing, embracing the 'spark' when it arrives over and over throughout her life, affecting her life choices and putting her on a spiritual path to Buddhism.   With themes of spiritual practices, mental illness, poverty, and the power of psychotherapy, this book will appeal to self-help and memoir readers, showing how to find happiness, peace, and enduring love despite a traumatic childhood.…

Helen Fein (born 1934) is a historical sociologist and professor who specializes on genocide, human rights, collective violence and other issues. She is an author and editor of four books and monographs, a former associate of the International Security Program (Harvard University), and a founder and first president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. She is the executive director of the Institute for the Study of Genocide (City University of New York). Professor Fein has defined Genocide as a sustained purposeful action by a perpetrator to physically destroy a collectivity directly or indirectly, through interdiction of the biological and social reproduction of group members, sustained regardless of the surrender or lack of threat offered by the victim. (Genocide: A Sociological Perspective). By 1945, two out of every three Jews living in Europe in 1939 were dead. Yet, in almost half the states and regions occupied by or allied to Germany--nine out of twenty-two--more than half the Jewish population survived. From Hungary to Italy, Poland to Norway, national reactions to the victimization of Jews varied, and in direct relationship so did the degree of success of the Nazi campaign to exterminate the Jewish people. The author explores what accounted for the differences in the Jews' life/death chances.…
