On the radio they said that Hans Christian Andersen wrote the
Little Mermaid whilst he was avoiding the wedding of the person he
loved. I thought 'that doesn't sound like a story that involves
singing lobsters'. So I picked a book from my shelf, I sat down at
the table, and I began to read. And as I read the stories, I
remembered where I first heard them. You know how that is? You open
one memory and a thousand more pour out.
The Angel Poetry Collection, The Year For Healing is Rachelle's
second book. Her first book, The Angel Within Me, is the story of
her battle with a debilitating brain disorder called Arnold Chiari
Malformation. She wrote the book in 1999 to help spread
awareness.It was the first book ever published about the disorder.
She has used writing poetry as her way of coping with the sickness
and struggles of her life. She considers her poetry "whispers from
her angels" of hope and healing. Her poetry is uplifting,
insightful and often brings on a smile.
Domestic Violence is the shame borne in silence by thousands of
women around the globe. Studies show that American women stay in
abusive relationships an average of seven years, while Jewish
American women stay for fourteen years - twice as long! No
comprehensive study of Jewish culture and religion has been done to
examine this phenomenon of longer endurance in violent
partnerships. This work examines the social, cultural, spiritual
and scriptural aspects of Judaism which may contribute to this
dichotomy in how women free themselves from abusive marriages. An
exploration of these issues will hopefully lead to more
culturally-sensitive, supportive services for Jewish American
victims of spousal battering. This book is addressed to social
service professionals, Rabbis and Jewish community leaders,
educators, and lay members of the Jewish community. It is also
directed towards researchers in Sociology, Women's Studies, Public
Health and Religion.
