Download or read book Beyond My Story . . . I Am written by C. Hawks and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-03-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age fifty-nine, author C. Hawks feels like she is on the brink of brokenness and embarks on a ninety-two-day sojourn that takes her to quaint, often non-English-speaking, European villages. Beyond My Story is a deeply honest memoir about the author’s journey of healing, introspection, and insight into the power that our stories hold. Hawks demonstrates an ability to boldly look within and to greet her own ego and shadow self. In her pursuit of desperately needed rest, nourishment, and revitalization, she trudges her way through the story she has been living and examines the consciousness that has shaped her story. She blazes a trail for any woman courageous enough, broken enough, or desperate enough to follow. A deeply reflective journey, Beyond My Story teaches us how to open our own doors to awareness and higher consciousness. With its twists, turns, and often comedic encounters, this memoir reflects Hawks’s belief that the world needs more of our feminine energy and that it needs us to be nourished, healed, and self-aware. This is a must-read for every woman who has ever wondered, “Why am I?”

Book excerpt: Beyond the Black Door is a young adult dark fantasy about unlocking the mysteries around and within us—no matter the cost... Everyone has a soul. Some are beautiful gardens, others are frightening dungeons. Soulwalkers—like Kamai and her mother—can journey into other people's souls while they sleep. But no matter where Kamai visits, she sees the black door. It follows her into every soul, and her mother has told her to never, ever open it. When Kamai touches the door, it is warm and beating, like it has a pulse. When she puts her ear to it, she hears her own name whispered from the other side. And when tragedy strikes, Kamai does the unthinkable: she opens the door. A.M.

Download or read book Beyond My Control written by Lee Hamelin and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1967, when Lee Hamelin was just four years old, he and several of his siblings were forcibly removed from their Aboriginal family’s home in northern Alberta, Canada, never to return again. With the authorities labelling his mother as “morally depraved and of no benefit to society,” Lee and his siblings became wards of the government. Little did they realize it at the time, but they had just become part of the Sixties Scoop, the mass removal of Aboriginal children from their families into Canada’s child welfare system from the mid 1950s to the 1980s. While the Sixties Scoop exposed thousands of Aboriginal children to the horrors of the residential school system, Lee and his brother avoided that fate. Instead, they were placed with loving foster parents who raised the two boys as if they were their own. Lee is immensely thankful for the situation where he and his brother ended up. However, growing up in a white home as a visible minority in his community, completely cut off from his Aboriginal roots, still created many complications that he has had to cope with throughout his life, including racism, prejudice, and questions about his identity. In this gripping and honest memoir, Lee seeks to contextualize his experience within the trauma that so many other such forced abductions created and the broader colonial context within which they took place. Despite the darkness of these years, through it all comes a positive message of love, hope, and reconciliation for all.
