A young girl discovers her past.
Caylor Dee's Parent's were killed in a car accident while visiting the states. Now,a year later, Caylor is back to revisit the past, the only problem is, the past is ready to revisit her!
This is a story about our cat named, Jade. A beautiful kitty with a sweet personality who had been rescued from a traumatic experience, before she came into our home to be fostered. Read on to find out her story and how she over-came her terrifying past.
Bonnie, age four, along with four of her siblings, was taken by force from her home in rural Canada and placed in the care of the Children's Aid Society. Over the next fourteen years, the children are split up and reunited multiple times, moving from foster home to foster home, always hoping to find one another again.
By luck or providence, the four sisters spend the majority of their young lives together working on a tobacco farm and living in an attic, where the stovepipe offers warmth, comfort, and news from the outside that they do not receive from their foster parents. Surviving some of the worst torments a child can know, Bonnie and her sisters depend on each other to meet even their basic needs, forming an unbreakable bond.
Bonnie Virag's heartrending yet triumphant memoir, The Stovepipe, recounts the author's experience growing up as a foster child in the 1940s and 1950s. In an honest, unflinching voice, Virag engrosses readers with not only the darkness that she and her siblings endured but, more important, their ability to join together to create a sense of light.
This unforgettable story is informed by Bonnie's recollections, remembrances from her sisters, and the official records received from the Children's Aid Society in Canada. This book is not an indictment of the foster care system and its many missteps. Rather, it is a testament to the resilience of the soul and the importance of family, friendship and fortitude.
When Lee returns to New Orleans after his mysterious disappearance he finds that the people closest to him have moved on with their lives but he is just beginning his. Needing to move on from his indulgent past, he must come to terms with a truth that he is not ready to know, and own the hurt that he has inflicted on his world.
In this memoir, the author explores questions of race, adoption, and identity, not as the professor of cultural studies she became, but as the Black child of German settlers in Guatemala. Her journey into the mystery that shrouded her early years begins in the US when she realized it was not just her foreign accent that alienated her from Blacks. Under layers of privilege (private schools, international travel, the life of a fashion model and actress in Europe) she discovered that her most important story is one of disinheritance. The author’s determination to find out who her parents really were and why she was taken from them, tests the love of her White husband and their son, and returns her to Guatemala to find a family that kept her memory alive as legend. In the end, she learns truths about the women who were her mothers, and the disrespect committed long ago against a birthmother and her child in the name of love.
The author travels to Virginia, where her parents had adopted her sister.
