Описание: Crossing years and continents, the harrowing story of the road to reunion for two Syrian brothers who--despite a homeland at war and an ocean between them--hold fast to the bonds of family. "Riveting . . . a resplendent love letter to an obliterated city."--The New York Times
"The Road from Raqqa had me gripped from the first page. I couldn't put it down."--Christy Lefteri, author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo
The Alkasem brothers, Riyad and Bashar, spend their childhood in Raqqa, the Syrian city that would later become the capital of ISIS. As a teenager in the 1980s, Riyad witnesses the devastating aftermath of the Hama massacre--an atrocity that the Hafez al-Assad regime commits upon its people. Wanting to expand his notion of government and justice, Riyad moves to the United States to study law, but his plans are derailed and he eventually falls in love with a Southern belle. They move to a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee, where they raise two sons and where Riyad opens a restaurant--Café Rakka--cooking the food his grandmother used to make. But he finds himself confronted with the darker side of American freedoms: the hardscrabble life of a newly arrived immigrant, enduring bigotry, poverty, and loneliness. Years pass, and at the height of Syria's civil war, fearing for his family's safety halfway across the world, he risks his own life by making a dangerous trip back to Raqqa. Bashar, meanwhile, in Syria. After his older brother moves to America, Bashar embarks on a brilliant legal career under the same corrupt Assad government that Riyad despises. Reluctant to abandon his comfortable (albeit conflicted) life, he fails to perceive the threat of ISIS until it's nearly too late. The Road from Raqqa brings us into the lives of two brothers bound by their love for each other and for the war-ravaged city they call home. It's about a family caught in the middle of the most significant global events of the new millennium, America's fraught but hopeful relationship to its own immigrants, and the toll of dictatorship and war on everyday families. It's a book that captures all the desperation, tenacity, and hope that come with the revelation that we can find home in one another when the lands of our forefathers fail us.

Описание: All her adult life, Esther Maria Ritter had been an activist campaigning for positive political and social change. But at the age of thirty-eight when she received the devastating diagnosis of ALS, Esther suddenly found herself at a crossroads. Somehow she had to overcome her fear of death to stay on her life's path. But could she really do it and, in the process, provide hope to others facing the same future? In a posthumous story of her journey through her thirties inspired by her diary and journal entries, Esther begins by leading others through her experiences that included living in a commune for three years where she was active in a grassroots anti-nuclear movement and other protests. But in 1985 when her life was suddenly turned upside down by her diagnosis, Esther faced a big decision. Could she somehow find a way to continue her path of activism and travel to both Mexico and Nicaragua while confined to a wheelchair? Following My Path is the compelling true story of a woman's quest to conquer her fears and continue a life of purpose after being diagnosed with a fatal, lingering disease.

Описание: Against the backdrop of a pull toward external standards and accountability, this collection of chapters re-grounds us in the importance of bringing the `self` to the foreground of the discourse of teaching, teacher education and practitioner research.
Описание: Mesilla Comes Alive: A History of Mesilla and Its Valley tells the story of one of the iconic towns of the old west, from the arrival of the Spanish in the XVI century to the granting of statehood to New Mexico in 1912. Written in short, entertaining, informative sections, and loaded with custom maps, archival photos and other illuminating illustrations, Mesilla Comes Alive provides a fascinating journey back in time and includes stories of such notable and colorful figures as Don Juan Onate, Santa Anna, Billy the Kid, Albert Fountain Pat Garrett, and many others. The book also puts forward several interesting theories that contradict the accepted history of the area, and includes two items -- a newly discovered photo of Billy the Kid and a short history of Mesilla written by Albert Fountain -- that have not previously appeared in any book. Mesilla Comes Alive breaks new ground while telling the story of a very old place. This description is for both the Black & White and color editions, but the color edition is only available through the estore: https: //www.createspace.com/5164710
