- The last girl : my story of captivity, and my fight against the Islamic State / by Murad, Nadia,author.; Clooney, Amal,writer of foreword.;
"In this intimate memoir of survival, a former captive of the Islamic State tells her harrowing and ultimately inspiring story. Nadia Murad was born and raised in Kocho, a small village of farmers and shepherds in northern Iraq. A member of the Yazidi community, she and her brothers and sisters lived a quiet life. Nadia had dreams of becoming a history teacher or opening her own beauty salon. On August 15th, 2014, when Nadia was just twenty-one years old, this life ended. Islamic State militants massacred the people of her village, executing men who refused to convert to Islam and women too old to become sex slaves. Six of Nadia's brothers were killed, and her mother soon after, their bodies swept into mass graves. Nadia was taken to Mosul and forced, along with thousands of other Yazidi girls, into the ISIS slave trade. Nadia would be held captive by several militants and repeatedly raped and beaten. Finally, she managed a narrow escape through the streets of Mosul, finding shelter in the home of a Sunni Muslim family whose eldest son risked his life to smuggle her to safety. Today, Nadia's story--as a witness to the Islamic State's brutality, a survivor of rape, a refugee, a Yazidi--has forced the world to pay attention to the ongoing genocide in Iraq. It is a call to action, a testament to the human will to survive, and a love letter to a lost country, a fragile community, and a family torn apart by war"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Murad, Nadia.; IS (Organization); Detention of persons; Human rights workers; Prisoners; Women and war; Women; Yezidis;

Colin Hanks, James Brolin, Dianne Wiest, Betsy Brandt.Life In Pieces is a comedy about one big happy family and their sometimes awkward, often hilarious, and ultimately beautiful milestone moments as told by the family's various members. Of the three siblings, middle child Matt may have just found his true love, his co-worker Colleen; his coddled, youngest brother Greg and his wife Jen are overwhelmed by the birth of their first child; and the eldest, Heather, and her husband Tim are dreading their impending empty nest so much, they're considering having another baby. Joan is the family's adoring matriarch who would do anything for her kids - as long as she agrees with it - and John is the gregarious patriarch who's searching for ways to soften the blow of turning 70. In four short stories each week, the family tries to savor the little pieces of time that flash by, but add up to what life's all about.14A.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby Digital 5.1.- Subjects: Television comedies.; Television programs.; Adult children; Families; Milestones; Parent and adult child;
