In this creative biography, told as a series of short stories, Aggie O'Hara passionately shares her journey that begins in the Dirty Thirties. Her father travels far from home in search of work, while her distraught and pregnant mother blames firstborn Aggie for all her woes and the three children that followed. But both her Scottish granny-a mirror image of Aggie with the same blond hair and blue eyes-and her father love her and help her develop the will to survive and thrive. Aggie falls madly in love-at 16-with a dark, handsome stranger that she marries at 21, while working as a Rosie the Riveter in a World War II aircraft factory, making close to a man's wages. Both sets of parents find the match unsuitable, but grudgingly accept it, and the couple move into a makeshift home of their own. When the war ends and the thousands of returning veterans make the job market difficult, Aggie grabs any job available, while juggling two children and a husband tied to pool halls and gang violence. A dark car arrives at their doorstep one night with a gang intent on murderous revenge and bullets fly. As they search for a way out, her husband disappears and Aggie strikes out on her own with her two boys, now free of the confines of a failed marriage. With her street smarts and nose for a bargain, Aggie buys a house and eventually lets a new man move in. She is enthralled with him, but the flame burns ever lower with his alcoholic rages and violent physical abuse. In spite of this, she gives birth to another boy and a daughter and struggles to have a normal family life. Saving her nickels and dimes in a jar, she steals away with her girlfriends to scream and laugh in Elvis imitator shows. Then, with no one else willing to look after her mother during her lingering death, Aggie takes on the responsibility, and gives up her well-paid job to wait tables part-time to help pay the bills. Finally, their marriage in ruins, her rampaging husband is taken away in handcuffs. With newfound freedom, Aggie and her daughter leave the city to buy a house in a lakeside town, where a new restaurant with a young, energetic owner results in a successful collaboration and enduring friendship that lasts for over 25 years. Dancing, cycling, playing baseball, and roller-skating help keep her active and fit, as she becomes a role model for three generations. Her second home in Florida provides a respite from harsh winters as well as a new set of friends, admirers and adventures. Now Aggie is truly free; her someday has come, and it is time to find her perfect house.

Faced with losing her mother at the tender age of twelve, being subjected to interminable abuse from an unloving stepmother and migrating between homes, Janice's mother knew too well what suffering was. Despite the severe lack, deprivation and desolation that Janice's mom was experiencing in later years-and not having a stable home in which to leave her children-she preferred to stay in Jamaica and struggle to personally care for them than to take up an offer to join her cousin Olivianna in England. Janice knew the decision that her mom had made could not have been easy but was made out of pure love. From that day, young Janice purposed in her heart that she would use all the physical and mental energy she could muster to pull her mother out of a life of poverty. After leaving high school, she knew it was time for a strong action, so she ventured into unfamiliar territory to accomplish her goal. The Eagle Stays on Top illustrates the bitter and heartrending challenges faced by Janice and her family. By the time her mom was taken away from her life in 2008, she had gotten the wish she had asked God for-to make her Mama proud. This book will show you: How you can triumph over difficult odds and brush yourself off after you have been tossed about by life's challenges, and How you can fight to re-grow your wings and soar like an eagle

Hayashi Fumiko, one of the most popular prose writers of the Showa era, began writing as a down-and-out poet wandering the streets of 1920s Tokyo. In these translations of her first poetry collection, I Saw a Pale Horse (Aouma wo mitari) and Selected Poems from Diary of a Vagabond (Horoki), Fumiko's literary origins are colorfully revealed. Little known in the west, these early poetic texts focus on Fumiko's unconventional early life, and her construction of a female subject that would challenge, with gusto and panache, accepted notions not only of class, family, and gender but also of female poetic practice.

As bombs fell on London almost nightly from the autumn of 1940 through the summer of 1941, the lives of ordinary people were altered beyond recognition. A reclusive Oxford lecturer found himself speaking, not about Renaissance literature to a roomful of students but about Christian doctrine into a BBC microphone. A writer of popular fiction found herself exploring not the intricacies of the whodunit but the mysteries of suffering and grace. An erudite poet and literary critic found himself patrolling the dark streets and piecing together images of fire and redemption. C. S. Lewis, Dorothy L. Sayers, and T. S. Eliot became somethingthey had not been before the war: bearers of a terrible, yet triumphant, message that people could not expect to be spared from pain and suffering, but they would be redeemed through pain and suffering. The Lion in the Waste Land initially explores the personal dynamic between these three writers and their misgivings about taking on the role of Christian apologist. Brown goes on to examine the congruency in their depictions of the nature of Christ, of conversion, and of angelic beings;and she highlights the similarity in their views of war and suffering, their portrayals of life as a pilgrimage to heaven, and their arguments for the value of walking in the "old paths" described in Scripture. Eliot depicted the world as a treacherous Waste Land where spiritual quests are fraught with disappointment anddanger. Sayers recognized that the message of redemption through Christ is a thing of terror. Lewis's Narnia books depicted the nature of Christ through the lion Aslan, who is good but not safe. Brown contends that the works of these three authors also offer hope in the midst of adversity, because they recognize that although redemption is a fearsome thing-like the image of a lion-it is also glorious.
