Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Listen To The Light: Courage in Recovery makes the case, from the perspective of the author and her grateful patients, that while recovery from addictions may be painful as it requires enormous courage and honesty, sobriety provides a life of renewed dignity. The case is strong and compelling for a community approach to recovery and funding of treatment. As a Jewish Mother, trained in addictions counseling, the author describes her failures as well as successes with her patients in recovery. Courage In Recovery is especially useful for nurses and others training for careers in addictions counseling.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this collection of stories and essays, unexpected events of everyday life become a springboard to examine deeper layers of meaning. A bowl shattering for no apparent reason leads to musings about other abrupt endings, a chance encounter engenders a new friendship, a meeting with a Catholic nun provokes reexamination of faith. Freda Warrington's humorous and ironic approach yields nuggets of wisdom - whether she explores her Jewish roots, relates cheese blintzes to love, reflects on old age, worries about how to enjoy her fancy Hermes scarf, or traces the amazing history of a tallcase clock heirloom. Her stories remind us that not everything can be explained away: There is wonder and mystery at the core of our being, enriching our lives in surprising, magical ways.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this true story, The Daughter's a Farmer, we view the journey of a mother and a daughter moving gradually toward mutual understanding and respect for each other's world perspectives and life choices, and see lessons learned and insights gained that surprised them both. The Mother and The Daughter, different in many ways, find their common ground in the values they share and the strength they possess. By choosing to use the generic terms, 'The Mother' and 'The Daughter,' the author underscores the universality of the themes so brilliantly illuminated in this fine and touching essay. The compilation of holiday letters, warm, wise, and hilarious, is evidence that Erma Bombeck or perhaps a literary clone, is alive and well in upstate New York. For anyone who has a knee-jerk negative reaction to holiday letters I recommend reading the no-holds-barred true stories about raising children and animals on a farm. Far from being the all-sunshine-and-light chronicles of the accomplishments and exotic adventures of perfect families, each member of her farm family, beautiful, smart, and brave, these accounts are honest tales of real people dealing with such issues as the family dog (a guide dog reject) overdosing on corncobs or a teenage daughter learning to drive. The humor The Daughter finds in every day events and the family's love for their land, their animals, and for each other shines brightly throughout each mini-masterpiece. If there were a Pulitzer category for holiday letters, these would win.…
