What you've got to understand is that here in Southall, everyone's up to something. In 2006, Lilian Pizzichini swaps life on dry land for a narrowboat on the Paddington arm of the Grand Union Canal. The Adam Bonny, moored between Newlocks and Shackleton Estates, is to be the place she can learn more about her extensive working-class London family - and the place where she will become pulled into a strange underbelly of drugs, vagrant neighbours and criminals. Lilian always found it easier to observe than join in. Abandoned by everyone around her, by the time she was fourteen she had developed a taste for Pernod and black. Speed allowed her to talk to boys, but she spent most of her time with her great-aunt Dolly, who had no regard for convention, sang songs and urinated on the street. Born into the slums of Lisson Grove, Dolly spoke like Eliza Doolittle when no-one was listening. With her, Lilian felt the bonds of mischief, gambling, madness and song. As the sad lives of her ancestors sprawl and take root in her head, Lilian drinks endless brandy and cokes in the Brickmaker's Arms. Pete - ex-burglar and dealer - brings her heroin, skunk and bags of pills and, united by a desire to lose consciousness on a regular basis, becomes her boyfriend. He tells her about the Somalis and Punjabis and their rival gangs, about the honour killings happening under their bridges and they watch as the prostitutes and pimps run the streets. But addiction has a relentless appetite and Lilian soon realises that, just like the Adam Bonny, she is sinking and must, with her help of her ancestors, try to pull herself back.

Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um die leicht uberarbeitete Fassung des zweiten Teils meiner 1993 an der Fakultat fur Padagogik der Universitat Bielefeld eingereichten Dissertation mit dem Titel "Soziale Netzwerke und soziale Unterstutzung alleinerziehender Frauen." Im ersten Teil dieser Dissertation habe ich einen umfassenden Uberblick uber den Diskussions- und Forschungsstand hinsichtlich der Alleinerziehen denthematik gegeben. Dieser erste Teil ist parallel zu diesem Band im glei chen Verlag unter dem Titel: , Alleinerziehende - Abschied von einem Kli schee" erschienen. Interessierte LeserInnen, die sich einen Einblick in das Thema AlleinerziehendelEinelternfamilien verschaffen mochten, finden dort eine umfassende Einfuhrung. Vorliegender Band dokumentiert den zweiten Teil meiner Dissertation, in welchem die Ergebnisse einer eigenen empirischen, qualitativ ausgerichteten Intensivstudie zu Netzwerk- und Unterstutzungsbeziehungen alleinerziehender Frauen vorgestellt werden. Mein Dank gilt den alleinerziehenden Frauen, die mir uber den Verlauf eines Jahres hinweg bereitwillig viele Stunden ihrer kostbaren Zeit geopfert haben. Ohne die Offenheit und das Vertrauen, das sie mir geschenkt haben, ware die Arbeit in dieser Form nicht moglich gewesen. Die Gesprache mit den Frauen sind fur mich nicht nur in meiner Rolle als, Forscherin ' bedeutsam gewesen, sondern waren eine Bereicherung fur mein personliches Leben, die ich nicht missen mochte. Thomas sei fur seine technischen Hilfen und Elke fur ihr rasantes Kor rekturlesen gedankt. Ohne den pet support von Jule und Lisa schliesslich waren so manche Tiefpunkte im Verlauf der dreijahrigen Arbeit kaum zu uberwinden gewesen."

Shorts - Stories about Alcohol, Asperger Syndrome, and God (Paperback): Tessie Regan Shorts - Stories about Alcohol, Asperger Syndrome, and God (Paperback)
Tessie Regan
R359 Discovery Miles 3 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Tessie Regan's collection of short stories, poems and quirky illustrations reveal the world as seen through the haze of alcohol addiction, the eccentricity of Asperger's and the ups and downs of an unconventional spiritual journey. Her honest and witty observations tell of moments of elation, confusion and hopeless desperation felt throughout her life, from the backbreaking pursuit of $100 in 'Lawnmower' to contemplating the start of her alcoholism at age 13 in 'The Jumping Off Place.' These brief, insightful accounts paint the truthful, warm-hearted, and wryly humorous portrait of a soul in search of reconciliation. This collection is essential reading for anyone on the autism spectrum dealing with alcoholism, substance addiction or mental health issues, and for their friends and families, as well as the professionals working with them.
