This is a fictional tale about Lily who, at her prime dating age, decides to move to Australia. She quickly realizes that it is not what she bargained for due to the "uniqueness" of Australian males. To tell the world how she feels, she writes a book about her and her friends' ridiculous experiences with Australian men. Lily's stories about what typical Australian males are like will simultaneously astound you and entertain you.
This is a book about the intriguing true story of Pam Evans, who has been married and divorced four times, and lived to tell the tale – with honesty, humor, and a heartfelt message for her readers. Pam first married at 18, then again in her 20s, her 30s, and her 40s. She reveals that her many treks ”down the aisle” were part of a ”long and winding road” that, each time, led eventually from the altar to the divorce court. Why has Pam decided to disclose these very personal aspects of her life? ”I was inspired to write this book for a couple of reasons. First, writing made me work on self-discovery and reflect about my past choices and often hasty decisions, my behavior and my relationship patterns. For example, I often did minimal vetting of my potential partners. Another reason for ’coming clean’ about my many marriages is that I truly want to impart realizations, insights, and, I hope, wisdom to others who are caught in the multiple marriage syndrome. Those who have never been married or married only once or are curious about multiple marriers can also learn from my experiences.” Open the pages of Ring EXchange, and join in Pam’s fascinating journey.
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.
