5/21/2023 0 Comments The Mother by Yvvette EdwardsHow could her son be dead? Ryan should have been safe-he wasn’t the kind of boy to find himself on the wrong end of a knife carried by a dangerous young man like Tyson Manley. Consumed by grief and rage, she must bridle her dark feelings and endure something no mother should ever have to experience: she must go to court for the trial of the killer-another teenage boy-accused of taking her son’s life. Her bright and beautiful sixteen-year-old son, Ryan, has been brutally murdered. The unimaginable has happened to Marcia Williams. The author of the critically acclaimed A Cupboard Full of Coats makes her hardcover debut with a provocative and timely novel about an emotionally devastated mother’s struggle to understand her teenage son’s death, and her search for meaning and hope in the wake of incomprehensible loss. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Coraline by P.

Opening near the end of her freshman year of high school, Julie still has one foot in her tomboy phase, and is waaaaaaay more interested in in the pregnant prize collie that comes to board at the farm than giggling about boys over Cokes at the local drugstore.īut she is sensitive about the way her father teases her for looking like “ a picked chicken” and resents a long-ago comment about how “she’s not a bit like Margaret”, her long-dead artist mother whose talent Julie practically worships.

But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures and a fleeting taste of glory." Īn article published under the headline "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior" in The Wall Street Journal on January 8, 2011, contained excerpts from her book in which Chua recounts her efforts to give her children what she describes as a traditional, strict "Chinese" Confucian-style upbringing. This was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. The complete blurb of the book reads: "This is a story about a mother and two daughters. It quickly popularized the concept and term " tiger mother".
