Where the Light Gets In: Losing My Mother Only to Find Her Again

Where the Light Gets In: Losing My Mother Only to Find Her Again by Kimberly Williams-Paisley
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1101902957 | 272 pages | EPUB | 8,6 MB

Many know Kimberly Williams-Paisley as the bride in the popular Steve Martin remakes of the Father of the Bride movies, the calculating Peggy Kenter on Nashville, or the wife of country music artist, Brad Paisley. But behind the scenes, Kim was dealing with a tragic secret: her mother, Linda, was suffering from a rare form of dementia that slowly crippled her ability to talk, write and eventually recognize people in her own family.

Where the Light Gets In tells the full story of Linda’s illness—called primary progressive aphasia—from her early-onset diagnosis at the age of 62 through the present day. Kim draws a candid picture of the ways her family reacted for better and worse, and how she, her father and two siblings educated themselves, tried to let go of shame and secrecy, made mistakes, and found unexpected humor and grace in the midst of suffering.

Ultimately the bonds of family were strengthened, and Kim learned ways to love and accept the woman her mother became. With a moving foreword by actor and advocate Michael J. Fox, Where the Light Gets In is a heartwarming tribute to the often fragile yet unbreakable relationships we have with our mothers.

Digging Up Mother: A Love Story

Digging Up Mother: A Love Story by Doug Stanhope
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0306824396 | 336 pages | EPUB | 17,5 MB

After enjoying early success as co-host of The Man Show with Joe Rogan, the past twenty years of Doug Stanhope’s career can be seen as a subversive insider attack against the “bro-code” he helped to launch. Following a very singular career arc, Stanhope turned his back on Hollywood and toured relentlessly for years, performing up to 200 shows a year. He’s a giant cult comedian with a fiercely loyal audience. His material is abrasive and often offensive, but it also relies on a bullshit-free, hardcore, outraged, truth-telling perspective in the tradition of the late Bill Hicks. Stanhope’s memoir is sure to rub many the wrong way, but not without causing fits of uncontrollable laughter in the process.

Things My Mother Taught Me

Claire Halliday, “Things My Mother Taught Me”
English | ASIN: B01CPO4U18 | 2016 | 193 pages | EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 | 5 MB

How did you become the person you are today? Lessons learned from our mothers can set the course for the lives we will lead and the people we will become. A mother can be many things: generous, heroic, nurturing, inspiring, difficult; she guides us in our growth, she teaches us about the world. And all the while she is her own person.

In Things My Mother Taught Me a diverse range of Australian identities share their personal stories. Within these pages are mature reflections on how a mother shapes, nurtures, and complicates a life. Reflections on how each of these prominent people would not be who they are today if it weren’t for this unique relationship. These are stories of fondness, gratitude, respect and regret. They are insights into an area of human experience where small moments can have a large and lasting impact.

Featuring the stories of Naomi Simson, Li Cunxin, Paul Vasileff, Shaynna Blaze, Tracy Bartram, Napoleon Perdis, Fiona Patten, Adriano Zumbo, Tiriel Mora, Geraldine Cox, Graeme Simsion, Jacqueline Pascarl, Benjamin Law, Lynn Gilmartin, Kathy Lette, Robin Bowles, Greg Fleet, Miguel Maestre, and Lawrence Mooney, as told to Claire Halliday.
