Instead it was discovered that the two fields of art and science are in fact linked not within the overarching art of dance but within the dancer or artist herself. Meet Dolores Price. She's thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the chocolate, crisps and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder.
But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly up. In his extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch an incredible ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years. At once a fragile girl and a hard-edged cynic, so tough to love yet so inimitably loveable, Dolores is as poignantly real as our own imperfections.
In Illegible Will Hershini Bhana Young engages with the archive of South African and black diasporic performance to examine the absence of black women's will from that archive.
Young argues for that will's illegibility, given the paucity of materials outlining the agency of black historical subjects. Drawing on court documents, novels, photographs, historical records, websites, and descriptions of music and dance, Young shows how black will can be conjured through critical imaginings done in concert with historical research.
She critically imagines the will of familiar subjects such as Sarah Baartman and that of obscure figures such as the eighteenth-century slave Tryntjie of Madagascar, who was executed in for attempting to poison her mistress. She also investigates the presence of will in contemporary expressive culture, such as the Miss Landmine Angola beauty pageant, placing it in the long genealogy of the freak show. In these capacious case studies Young situates South African performance within African diasporic circuits of meaning throughout Africa, North America, and South Asia, demonstrating how performative engagement with archival absence can locate that which was never recorded.
In reality, she was struggling with the trauma of an abusive childhood and rapidly skidding towards a mental health crisis that would land her in a psychiatric ward. Coming Undone is Terri's story of her unravelling, and her precarious journey back from a life in pieces. On the eve of Michelle's first official demon hunt, her mentor and love, Julian, briefly loses himself and sets off a chain of events that makes Michelle question if he ever had control in the first place.
With the help of her new ally, Diana, she is able to cast out Zariel once and for all. But there's hardly cause for celebration when Balthazar unleashes a full-scale attack on Julian's mind.
Balthazar and Maria transform Michelle's life into a constant state of horror for pure entertainment while moving on with their plans for humanity's end. Michelle desperately searches for a way to save what's left of Julian's soul, but the only salvation may very well be his death.

It is not the lot of those who are successful. Don't believe the hype. Success takes work, but you don't have to sacrifice your physical, emotional, social, or spiritual health to succeed in your I ife, ministry, or the workplace. You deserve to enjoy the fruit of your labor. The truth is however, that many of us are so consumed and overwhelmed with our responsibilities that our aim is merely completion and survival rather than effectiveness and peace of mind. In this book I am not offering some utopic idea of success, but rather proven strategies that can help you be successful and maintain your sanity.
In the early evening on October 1, , Christina Crosby was three miles into a seventeen mile bicycle ride, intent on reaching her goal of 1, miles for the riding season.
She was a respected senior professor of English who had celebrated her fiftieth birthday a month before. As she crested a hill, she caught a branch in the spokes of her bicycle, which instantly pitched her to the pavement.
Her chin took the full force of the blow, and her head snapped back. In that instant, she was paralyzed. In A Body, Undone, Crosby puts into words a broken body that seems beyond the reach of language and understanding.
She writes about a body shot through with neurological pain, disoriented in time and space, incapacitated by paralysis and deadened sensation. To address this foreign body, she calls upon the readerly pleasures of narrative, critical feminist and queer thinking, and the concentrated language of lyric poetry.
Working with these resources, she recalls her s tomboy ways in small-town, rural Pennsylvania, and records growing into the s through radical feminism and the affirmations of gay liberation. Deeply unsentimental, Crosby communicates in unflinching prose the experience of 'diving into the wreck' of her body to acknowledge grief, and loss, but also to recognize the beauty, fragility, and dependencies of all human bodies.
A memoir that is a meditation on disability, metaphor, gender, sex, and love, A Body, Undone is a compelling account of living on, as Crosby rebuilds her body and fashions a life through writing, memory, and desire. Does Jesus really care about me? How could he when I am one of billions of people in the world? Believe me. He does know you and this book is a great start to learning those truths in the Bible.
This is a devotional that will walk you through the basics of our relationship with Jesus. It is also a prayer journal that will allow you to practice writing down your prayers and giving gratitude for everything in our lives. If you are curious about Jesus and why anyone would follow him, or if you are just getting to know Jesus, this book will help you start your journey.
