Book Synopsis We Are Here to Stay: Voices of Undocumented Young Adults by : Susan Kuklin

Download or read book We Are Here to Stay: Voices of Undocumented Young Adults written by Susan Kuklin. This book was released on 2019-01-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With refreshing candor, photos and interviews usher us into the lives of eleven undocumented young people bravely speaking out. “Maybe next time they hear someone railing about how terrible immigrants are, they'll think about me. I’m a real person.” Meet nine courageous young adults who have lived in the United States with a secret for much of their lives: they are not U.S. citizens. They came from Colombia, Mexico, Ghana, Independent Samoa, and Korea. They came seeking education, fleeing violence, and escaping poverty. All have heartbreaking and hopeful stories about leaving their homelands and starting a new life in America. And all are weary of living in the shadows. We Are Here to Stay is a very different book than it was intended to be when originally slated for a 2017 release, illustrated with Susan Kuklin’s gorgeous full-color portraits. Since the last presidential election and the repeal of DACA, it is no longer safe for these young adults to be identified in photographs or by name. Their photographs have been replaced with empty frames, and their names are represented by first initials. We are honored to publish these enlightening, honest, and brave accounts that encourage open, thoughtful conversation about the complexities of immigration — and the uncertain future of immigrants in America.

Book Synopsis Should We Stay Together? by : Jeffry H. Larson

Download or read book Should We Stay Together? written by Jeffry H. Larson. This book was released on 2000-04-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [head] Will we live happily ever after? The fact is, some couples need more time to mature, some need to work through specific issues, and some should never be together. But how do you know? What factors add up to success-or failure-in a relationship? Author Jeffry Larson knows; in fact, he knows a lot about what predicts a happy marriage. Based on Larson's twenty-plus years of research and experience in marriage and family therapy, Should We Stay Together? debunks many time-honored myths as it provides couples with the tools they need to make better decisions and thoroughly explore every aspect of their relationship. From individual characteristics, idiosyncratic family histories, unresolved conflicts and needs, and combined strengths and weaknesses, this step-by-step scientific method for relationship evaluation-based on the highly accurate RELATE premarital assessment questionnaire-will help couples understand the specific traits that predict a satisfying-or disastrous-relationship. "Here's your chance to learn more about the potential of your relationship. With this book, you'll learn about the things that put marriages-maybe yours-at risk and more importantly, what areas you need to focus on to build a lasting and happy relationship. With its strong basis in marital research, I highly recommend this book for those wanting to make a solid investment in their future together."-Scott Stanley, coauthor, Fighting for Your Marriage "This book should be made available in every high school, church, and public library."-Diane Solee, director, Coalition for Marriage, Family, and Couples Education "This book is based on the best of what is known about predicting marital satisfaction. Its style and content are unique and directly applicable to couples."-Bob Stahmann, author, Premarital and Remarital Counseling

Book Synopsis The Way We Stay by : Cere Demuth

Download or read book The Way We Stay written by Cere Demuth. This book was released on 2018-05-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cere's only son's opiate addiction leaves her coping with pain, fear, and humiliation for twelve long years. A small town psychotherapist, living in the idyllic islands of the Pacific Northwest, she struggles to balance the needs of her family beneath the shadow of addiction. She revisits her tumultuous childhood beginning in the Bay Area with her birth during the Summer Of Love to leftist radical hippies. Cere retraces her parents' intense, but brief, political involvement in the leftist militant group The Weather Underground. Eventually, her family moves to Whidbey Island where her parents raise her and her brother in a small, rural, alternative community. In the midst of a painful, high-risk, adolescence she invites the reader into her internal world as a teen-age mother in 1985, an adoptive mom in 2000, and a psychotherapist of twenty-five years desperately trying to heal her family and herself from the suffering caused by addiction. Written in a sparse, poetic language, The Way We Stay is a story of heartbreaking love, vulnerability, faith and healing. "Cere Demuth has written a brave and beautiful book that I believe will help many other people along their path of understanding and forgiveness when dealing with a loved one grappling with addiction." -Claire Bidwell Smith, author of The Rules of Inheritance "Engrossing...heartfelt. A story of addiction told with transparency and compassion." - Jillian Lauren, NY Times bestselling memoirist of Some Girls, and Everything You Ever Wanted. "Cere Demuth's book THE WAY WE STAY is much more than "A Memoir Of Recovery." It is a thrilling intimate book of family survival that is impossible to put down. Born into the era of Peace and Love, Cere's story, as a daughter; wife; mother and grandmother takes us into the chaos of that era, it's aftermath and the power of drug addiction to ruin everything it touches. Told in a brilliant mixture of prose and poetry. A gripping and harrowing story that will have you falling in love with the characters and praying for them all to find peace and happiness." -Country Joe McDonald, Singer/Songwriter, Author, Activist "THE WAY WE STAY: A Memoir of Recovery by Cere Demuth shines a spotlight on how interwoven pain and love can be. Her tale, a mother with a heroin-addicted son, THE WAY WE STAY is told with a stark, poignant fragility. A story of one woman's heartbreak. A story meant for the world. A story you won't want to put down." -Susan Wingate, Amazon bestseller, award-winning author, www.susanwingate.com
