Unseen : how I lost my vision and found my voice / by Burke, Molly,author.;
"From social media star and disability activist Molly Burke, a vulnerable and witty memoir on navigating the challenges of being a legally blind woman in an ableist world When Molly Burke was four years old, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease that causes gradual and complete blindness, forcing Burke to conceptualize the world differently. Growing up disabled didn't stop her from playing sports, speaking publicly, or becoming a rock-climbing instructor, but it was other people's narrow perceptions of her that held her back. Today, Burke is a speaker, content creator, model, author, and advocate whose mission is to help foster community for anyone feeling isolated, misrepresented, or misunderstood. Unseen is Burke's story in her own words and an inspiration to those who have been stigmatized or are feeling alone in their struggles to speak out. Burke chronicles her journey as a disabled woman, business owner, and entertainer, illuminating not only what her experiences have taught her, but also what she wishes the world understood about her world and the world of others in the blind community. Part memoir, part rallying cry for better representation, Unseen recounts Burke's life and experiences fighting against the expectations society set for her as a blind woman, and in doing so, helps readers find their voice, strength, and inner purpose"--

Unseen How I Lost My Vision but Found My Voice [electronic resource] : by Burke, Molly.aut; CloudLibrary;
From social media star and change-maker Molly Burke, a vulnerable, honest, and darkly humorous memoir on navigating the challenges of being a blind woman in a sighted world When Molly Burke was four years old, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease that leads to eventual blindness, forcing her to see the world through new eyes—literally. Growing up disabled didn’t stop her from playing sports, becoming a rock-climbing instructor, or winning a beauty pageant, but other people’s narrow perceptions of her held her back.   Years of relentless bullying, toxic work environments, a rodent-infested apartment, and life’s lowest moments were juxtaposed with red carpets, first-class flights, and personal and professional achievements. Throughout her life, Molly has learned to appreciate the duality, and, most importantly, she’s learned the beauty of being unapologetically yourself and standing up for what you truly believe in.   In Unseen, Molly chronicles her journey as a disabled woman, entrepreneur, and entertainer, illuminating what her experiences have taught her and what she hopes others can learn from her hardship and successes. Part memoir, part rallying cry for a more compassionate and empathetic world, Unseen recounts Molly’s life and experiences fighting against the expectations society set for her and, in doing so, helps readers find their own voice, inner strength, and self-acceptance.

Mother of god : a novel / by Peters, Sara,1982-author.;
"A landmark literary novel of psychological horror from the author of I Become a Delight to My Enemies. Marlene calls herself a psychic wound healer, but really, her paranormal abilities are restricted to visions. In fact, they're restricted to visions of just one person. Her mother, Darlene. The visions started when Marlene was nine: a symbol and a symptom of an unfathomably deep maternal connection; a mental and emotional escape hatch; evidence of a bond so intense that a rupture was perhaps inevitable. And yet, years of estrangement later, when Marlene receives a message from Darlene asking her to come home, she packs up her life in Vancouver and drives across the country to small-town Nova Scotia. It's a trip fraught with vivid, oppressive memories--of childhood betrayals, the distant decades that followed, and the malevolent presence of Darlene's on-again-off-again boyfriend, Ed. Still, the opportunity is overwhelming--the chance to become the centres of each other's universes once again. But when she arrives, Darlene is not where she should be. Figures from the past materialize as reality's thin membrane begins to give way, and Marlene is forced to confront the incomprehensible as she is sent down a path of terrors, to the very end of human feeling, to the very end of her mind. Sinister and surreal, ghastly and full of grace, Mother of God is a monumental step forward from one of the great writers of her generation."--
