Hustling endlessly to try to achieve society’s definition of success left her exhausted, compromising her own sense of worth in order to accommodate others.

Dear Da-Le - Anh Duong

In spare, evocative prose, Anh Duoung breaks a lifetime of silence to share a rare firsthand account of growing up in war-torn Vietnam and living as a refugee in revolutionary Iran. Why, Ashley Da-Lê Duong wondered, did her father Anh name her after his childhood village in Vietnam (Da-Lê, pronounced Ya-lay) when in all other ways, he kept as much distance from it as possible? It wasn’t until college, when she began participating in student protests, that Anh began to fill in the gaps of his life story, revealing for the first time his own experiences protesting in Iran and the details of his childhood in Da-Lê. Those letters became this memoir. Dear Da-Lê is Anh Duong’s story, beginning in 1953 not far from the seventeenth parallel that divided North and South Vietnam, surviving the horrors of the war, escaping to revolution-wracked Iran in the late 1970s, and finally arriving in Canada in 1980. Like many in the Vietnamese diaspora, he had long remained silent about his experiences, believing that trauma was better left unspoken. Now he reveals his coming-of-age story, intertwining moments of hope and tenderness with a brutal account of the human costs of war and exile. Fifty ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A Woman Rides the Beast - Dave Hunt

Are you missing half the story about the last days? Virtually all attention these days is focused on the coming Antichrist—but he is only half the story. Many people are amazed to discover in Revelation 17 that there is also another mysterious character at the heart of prophecy—a woman who rides the beast.Who is this woman? Tradition says she is connected with the church of Rome. But isn’t such a view outdated? After all, today’s Vatican is eager to join hands with Protestants worldwide. “The Catholic church has changed” is what we hear.Or has it? In A Woman Rides the Beast, prophecy expert Dave Hunt sifts through biblical truth and global events to present a well-defined portrait of the woman and her powerful place in the Antichrist’s future empire. Eight remarkable clues in Revelation 17 and 18 prove the woman’s identity beyond any reasonable doubt.A provocative account of what the Bible tells us is to come.

Dear Queer Self – An Experiment in Memoir - Jonathan Alexander

An unvarnished accounting of one man’s struggle toward sexual and emotional maturity. In this unconventional memoir, Jonathan Alexander addresses wry and affecting missives to a conflicted younger self. Focusing on three years—1989, 1993, and 1996—Dear Queer Self follows the author through the homophobic heights of the AIDS epidemic, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the election of Bill Clinton, and the steady advancements in gay rights that followed. With humor and wit afforded by hindsight, Alexander relives his closeted college years, his experiments with his sexuality in graduate school, his first marriage to a woman, and his budding career as a college professor.  As he moves from tortured self-denial to hard-won self-acceptance, the author confronts the deeply uncomfortable ways he is implicated in his own story. More than just a coming-out narrative, Dear Queer Self is both an intimate psychological exploration and a cultural examination—a meshing of inner and outer realities and a personal reckoning with how we sometimes torture the truth to make a life. It is also a love letter, an homage to a decade of rapid change, and a playlist of the sounds, sights, and feelings of a difficult, but ultimately transformative, time.
