DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Kalifornien 1962. Juni Shimata ist neun Jahre alt. Marilyn Monroe ist gerade gestorben, die Kubaner und die Russen kommen. Eine schräge Welt von schönem Schein. „Benimm dich! Sei artig!" Aber Junis Albträume kommen viel eher von zu Hause: Scheidung, Rassismus, Missbrauch ... Das aufgeweckte Mädchen beginnt erst, das Leben kennenzulernen, und es kämpft mit aller Kraft, sich darauf einen Reim zu machen. In einer Reihe von Bildern – wie alte, zufällig auf dem Speicher gefundene Filmrollen – zeigt „Road Girl“, wie die Dreikäsehoch-Hauptfigur ihre Phantasie benutzt, um mit einer Welt fertig zu werden, die sie nicht gerade mit offenen Armen empfängt – ihr Vater aber schon. California, 1962. Juni Shimata is nine years old. Marilyn Monroe just died, the Cubans and the Russians are coming. A topsy-turvy world of glamor, hypocrisy, and rules. But the bogies threatening little Juni are much closer to home. Divorce, racial discrimination, abuse. Bright-minded Juni is just becoming aware of life and struggling to fit two and two together. In a series of tableaux, like random reels of old home movies found in the attic, "Road Girl" shows how the pintsized protagonist uses her fantasy to cope with a world that isn't ready to make room for her, and a father who is. Californie, 1962. Juni Shimata a neuf ans. Marilyn Monroe vient de mourir, les Cubains et le Russes arrivent. Un monde sens dessus-dessous, plein de glamour, d’hypocrisie et de règles. Mais, les cauchemars qui menacent Juni sont plus proches de la maison : divorce, discrimination raciale, maltraitance. Avec toute sa petite tête, Juni s’éveille à la vie et se bat pour en comprendre le sens. Dans une série de tableaux, comme des bobines de vieux films trouvés au hasard dans le grenier, « Road Girl » montre comment la protagoniste, haute comme trois pommes, utilise sa fantaisie pour affronter un monde qui ne veut pas vraiment lui accorder une place – même si son père lui en accorde trop.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is a story about the memories of an only child growing up on a South Georgia cotton and peanut farm during the Depression and World War II years. Cross Roads kinfolk and cousins were Peggys playmates. She speaks about the hardships of picking cotton, stacking peanuts, running a cucumber growing enterprise, and making ends meet with the help of moonshining. It was a long trip to town by horse or mule, so many farmers had small stores for providing the necessary staples and a place for farmers, kinfolk, and farm hands to meet and socialize. Peggy writes about the nature of the school systems, marriage disappointments and successes, raising four children and helping with eight grandchildren. Rural living in hard times brought happy occasions with barbeques, church socials, picnics, dances, movies and constant changes in sweethearts as part of growing up. She lets you in on her personal outlook on Southern living in the days of segregation and the changes to the new order of today. Now she is a leader for family and high school reunions. This book puts us back in focus on historical events that was a part of shaping our lives. This book is so "from the heart". It helps us understand our past and how one fleeting moment can change our whole life. There is no love to compare to a Mother's love, so deeply expressed in this book. It brings back a lot of memories out of the dark recesses of the mind.

The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise is Dan Gemeinhart’s finest book yet — and that’s saying something. Your heart needs this joyful miracle of a book." — Katherine Applegate, acclaimed author of The One and Only Ivan and Wishtree Five years. That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation. It's also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash. Coyote hasn’t been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished—the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box—she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days...without him realizing it. Along the way, they'll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there's Gladys... Over the course of thousands of miles, Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all...but that with friends by her side, she just might be able to turn her “once upon a time” into a “happily ever after.”
