DOWNLOAD EBOOKThey Said I Wouldn't Make It. This is a book that needs to be read by all. It is full of everyday life situation. A book about one man's dreams and strggles to get custody of his ten siblings and reunite his family together again. This book is a pure inspiration to millions. I was always challenged by people that said that they were normal, telling me that I wouldn't make it in life because of how I was born. Not only is this book written from my heart, but it is also written through my pain and tears, triumphs and victories. It is my desire that kids that are born handicap would have the understanding that no on can make you handicap, if you chose not to be that handicap is a state of one's mind. It is my desire that the department of Social Services will remove the name 'foster' from kids. There is no such thing as a false child, all kids are real. For those that are single parents, I hope that you receive new strength. You can make it, don't give up. For the parents that have kids that were born handicap, if you want them normal, don't raise them handicap. For you that have lost your family through the system, don't give up, miracles still happen. For those of you that had been through sexual, physical, psychological, or any other abuse you can be healed. Many people's childhoods destroyed their adulthoods. For you this does not have to be so. Remember a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. Last, those who say they can and those wh say they can not, are both correct.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGrit -- A Pediatrician's Odyssey From a Soviet Camp to Harvard tells the drama of a teenager and her family fleeing their hometown in Poland during WWII, and after deportation to the Soviet Union, becoming slave laborers, then refugees in Central Asia. Finding upon their return home that all Jews had been exterminated, they emigrate to Sweden. The book brings to life a remarkable young woman who struggles with existential war challenges to help her family survive, while unflinchingly pursuing her goal of becoming a physician. After leaving the Soviet Union, at War's end, she grapples against overwhelming odds to pursue her medical education. Coming to America in 1947, she fights on to finally enter Harvard Medical School. Regina served for many years as a pediatrician in Paramus, New Jersey, before succumbing to cancer in 1973. "This story has all the ingredients of a best-selling novel, yet it recounts real experiences of a young woman, who overcomes the horrors of the Holocaust and its aftermath, and achieves her dream of becoming a physician.... The book should be a valuable resource for the classroom, as well as one for the community in general, to help defeat bias, bigotry and intolerance." Paul B. Winkler, Ph.D., Executive Director, NJ Commission on Holocaust Education "Absorbing and compelling, this memoir provides invaluable insight into a chapter of the Holocaust barely covered in the historical literature: the survival of Polish Jews who fled to the Soviet Union, and the harsh challenges of homelessness and anti-Semitism they faced upon their return to their devastated homes. The memoir makes for exciting reading and will be of interest to people everywhere, particularly to students of WWII and the Holocaust." Atina Grossman, Ph.D. Professor of History, Cooper-Union, NY

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBorn and raised in Judsonia, Arkansas-a place where indoor plumbing was a luxury, squirrel was a meal, and sex ed was taught during senior year in high school (long after many girls had gotten pregnant and dropped out) Beth Ditto stood out. Beth was a fat, pro-choice, sexually confused choir nerd with a great voice, an eighties perm, and a Kool Aid dye job. Her single mother worked overtime, which meant Beth and her five siblings were often left to fend for themselves. Beth spent much of her childhood as a transient, shuttling between relatives, caring for a sickly, volatile aunt she nonetheless loved, looking after sister, brothers, and cousins, and trying to steer clear of her mother's bad boyfriends. Her punk education began in high school under the tutelage of a group of teens - her second family - who embraced their outsider status and introduced her to safety-pinned clothing , mail-order tapes, queer and fat-positive zines, and any shred of counterculture they could smuggle into Arkansas. With their help, Beth survived high school, a tragic family scandal, and a mental breakdown, and then she got the hell out of Judsonia. She decamped to Olympia, Washington, a late-1990s paradise for Riot Grrrls and punks, and began to cultivate her glamorous, queer, fat, femme image. On a whim - with longtime friends Nathan, a guitarist and musical savant in a polyester suit, and Kathy, a quiet intellectual turned drummer - she formed the band Gossip. She gave up trying to remake her singing voice into the ethereal wisp she thought it should be and instead embraced its full, soulful, potential. Gossip gave her that chance, and the raw power of her voice won her and Gossip the attention they deserved. Marked with the frankness, humour and defiance that have made her an international icon, Beth Ditto's unapologetic, startlingly direct, and poetic memoir is a hypnotic and inspiring account of a woman coming into her own.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book reflects my personal and cultural transitions. I highlight my great good fortune to have been born during the depression of Mennonite immigrant parents and as a consequence enjoyed the benefits of living in wonderful Canada. My life as an individual, is of necessity, in the context of the life and experiences of those who came before and the sacrifices and crucial decisions made by them. For that reason, family and general historical information is included. Life is always lived in a social context and so a description of my family and friends and their contributions and influences are essential. Family has been at the heart of my life's experience. Work contributes so much of life's meaning and purpose. A reflection on work and community involvement is part of this narrative. Seniority in years adds the dimensions of reflection and, hopefully, insight and appreciation of the spiritual legacy of my Mennonite heritage.
