We Used to Dream of Freedom A Memoir of Family, the Holocaust, and the Stories We Don't Tell [electronic resource] : by Chaiton, Sam.aut; cloudLibrary;

“Chaiton's fearless and moving memoir is a precious gift to anyone who yearns for a better understanding of intergenerational trauma and the path to true liberation.” — JEANNE BEKER, author, fashion editor, and television personality A child of Holocaust survivors grapples with his parents’ untold stories and their profound effect on the course of his extraordinary life. Growing up in Toronto, Sam Chaiton and his brothers knew their parents had been prisoners in Bergen-Belsen. But what their parents wouldn’t share about their history — including the fact they had also been in Auschwitz — ended up shaping their children’s lives. We Used to Dream of Freedom explores what a family is or could be; the psychology of survivors and the impact of survivor silence on their family; and the responsibility of second generations from traumatized communities to share knowledge from their own histories to help alleviate the suffering of others. Irreverent, moving, and tragic, often all at once, at its heart it is a story of a man who disappeared on his family, his quest to understand why he had to leave, and the long-overdue discovery about his parents that brought him back.General adult.

What cannot be said / by Harris, C. S.,author.;

"On a sunny day in July 1815, thirty-eight-year-old Philippa, Lady McKinsey, takes her sixteen-year-old daughter, Emma, and her young niece and nephew, fifteen-year-old Arabella and thirteen-year-old Percy, on an outing to Richmond Park. But when Arabella and Percy go off to pick flowers, tragedy strikes. Shots echo across the park. Two young gentlemen investigate and find Lady McKinsey and her daughter dead. As the men gaze in horror at the strangely posed bodies of the victims, the other two children come up laughing, their arms full of blossoms. Arabella opens her mouth to scream, but there is no sound. Sir Henry Lovejoy, Bow Street magistrate and good friend of Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, finds himself reliving a nightmare. Fourteen years before, Lovejoy's own wife and daughter were murdered in Richmond Park, their bodies posed in the same bizarre fashion. Lovejoy himself had been instrumental in the arrest of the ex-soldier later found guilty of the killings, and he'd watched the man hang with grim satisfaction. Now he must turn to Sebastian for help as he confronts the very real possibility that he helped send an innocent man to the gallows, and that the monster responsible for the deaths of his wife and daughter is still at large--and has killed again."--

Story of your mother. by Braganza, Chantal.;

"What if we consider motherhood an organizing principle instead of a genre or subject? In her debut book of essays, Chantal Braganza explores the space where identity and motherhood meet. How do we tell our children who they are when we're still struggling to find that language to describe ourselves? Journalist Chantal Braganza, who once thought of herself as "an assemblage of parts," reflects on her upbringing as a daughter of Mexican and Indian immigrants while raising her own multiracial sons. She explores what shapes identity, and the things we reach for as we search for our family's place in the world. Engaging with a unique structural style, Braganza weaves dreamlike memoir sections of her childhood -- some memories, some myths passed down from her family in Vallarta, Mombasa, London, and Toronto -- with urgent essays about identity. She wrangles with the limits of language -- finding that even fluency doesn't guarantee the ability to translate something for your children. The questions that emerges are: Can we believe the people who have given us the story of who we are? And how do we, responsibly, craft that story for our own children?"--Library Bound Incorporated

They want to kill Americans : the militias, terrorists, and deranged ideology of the Trump insurgency / by Nance, Malcolm W.,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."To varying degrees, as many as 74 million Americans have expressed hostility towards American democracy. Their radicalization is increasingly visible in our day to day life: in neighbor's or family member's open discussion of bizarre conspiracy theories, reveling in the fantasy of mass murdering the liberals they believe are drinking the blood of children. These are the results of the deranged series of lies stoked by former President Donald Trump, made worse by the global pandemic. The first steps of an American fracture were predicted by Malcolm Nance months before the January 6, 2021 insurrection, heralding the start of a generational terror threat greater than either al-Qaeda or the Islamic State. Nance calls this growing unrest the Trump Insurgency in the United States or TITUS. The post-2020 election urge to return to a place of "normalcy"-to forget-is the worst response we can have. American militiamen, terrorists, and radicalized political activists are already armed in mass numbers and regularly missed in the media; principally because Trump's most loyal and violent foot soldiers benefit from the ultimate privilege-being white. They Want to Kill Americans is the first detailed look into the heart of the active Trump-led insurgency, setting the stage for a second nation-wide rebellion on American soil. This is a chilling and deeply researched early warning to the nation from a counterterrorism intelligence professional: America is primed for a possible explosive wave of terrorist attacks and armed confrontations that aim to bring about a Donald Trump led dictatorship"--

Marilla of Green Gables : a novel / by McCoy, Sarah,1980-author.; prequel to:Montgomery, L. M.(Lucy Maud),1874-1942.Anne of Green Gables.;

"A bold, heartfelt tale of life at Green Gables ... before Anne. Plucky and ambitious, Marilla Cuthbert is thirteen years old when her world is turned upside down, leaving her to bear the responsibilities of a farm wife: cooking, sewing, keeping house, and overseeing the day-to-day life of Green Gables with her brother, Matthew and father, Hugh. In Avonlea, life holds few options for farm girls. Marilla's one connection to the wider world is Aunt Elizabeth "Izzy" Johnson, her mother's sister, who fled Avonlea to the bustling city of St. Catharines. An opinionated spinster, Aunt Izzy is a talented seamstress, which has allowed her to build a thriving business and make her own way in the world. Emboldened by her aunt, Marilla dares to venture beyond the safety of Green Gables. With her friend Rachel, she joins the local Ladies Aid Society in helping an orphanage run by the Sisters of Charity in nearby Nova Scotia -- a home for abandoned children that secretly serves as a way station for runaway slaves from America. Her budding romance with John Blythe, the charming son of a neighbor, offers her a possibility of future happiness -- but Marilla is in no rush to trade one farm life for another. Instead she is caught up in the dangerous work of politics and abolition -- jeopardizing all she cherishes. Now Marilla must face a reckoning between her dreams of making a difference in the wider world and the small-town reality of life at Green Gables."--Jacket flap.

Commanding hope : the power we have to renew a world in peril / by Homer-Dixon, Thomas F.,author.;

"Calling on history, cutting-edge research, complexity science and even Lord of the Rings, Homer-Dixon lays out the tools we can command to rescue a world on the brink. For three decades, the renowned author of The Upside of Down: Catastrophe, Creativity, and the Renewal of Civilization, and The Ingenuity Gap: Can We Solve the Problems of the Future?, has examined the threats to our future security--predicting a deteriorating global environment, extreme economic stresses, mass migrations, social instability and wide political violence if humankind continued on its current course. He was called The Doom Meister, but we now see how prescient he was. Today just about everything we've known and relied on (our natural environment, economy, societies, cultures and institutions) is changing dramatically--too often for the worse. Without radical new approaches, our planet will become unrecognizable as well as poorer, more violent, more authoritarian. In his fascinating long-awaited new book (dedicated to his young children), he calls on his extraordinary knowledge of complexity science, of how societies work and can evolve, and of our capacity to handle threats, to show that we can shift human civilization onto a decisively new path if we mobilize our minds, spirits, imaginations and collective values. Commanding Hope marshals a fascinating, accessible argument for reinvigorating our cognitive strengths and belief systems to affect urgent systemic change, strengthen our economies and cultures, and renew our hope in a positive future for everyone on Earth."-- Provided by publisher.
