  There followed dark days for the Cardy family, days of searching for their missing daughter, grieving her death, wrestling with the questions. It would be thirty years before they would find any answers; thirty years before her killer, Robert Black, would face any kind of justice. 
   
   
   
  Yet, incredibly, through it all the Cardy family found comfort in God. They discovered that God's love is greater than even the worst tragedy that can befall us and can be our strength through even the darkest of days.

  Man Brought to Gallows

  This story goes from here to its start, at the first morning of May; follows through these same pages, and when it arrives here again, again it starts there... Such was his enlightened hallucination.
  
  
  The problem of art is a problem of translations. Decomposition and sorting of forms, sounds and thoughts. Things and ideas are getting old. You only have the power to cover them with saliva.
  It is clear that every thought, every gesture, word and happening can be interpreted differently; there lays my severe intention to communicate directly the dense metaphoric language present in Palacio's writing. I want the reader to question the writing as one looks for signs on the streets or in forest. The streams of art I have perused beyond writing capture the narrative and sensations from texts in order to translate them into movement. It is always a decomposing and sorting of forms indeed; from an idea into concept, into words to be spoken, enacted.

  Set within the contexts of American immigration history and women's philanthropy, From Persia to America recounts the remarkable journey of a prominent Persian-Armenian immigrant and her commitment to a life of generosity in her adopted American homeland. Emma Ordjanian Melikian was born in Teheran into a family that, having earlier faced imprisonment in Russia following the Revolution of 1917, fled to Persia where the Ordjanian family had longstanding roots. The account traces Emma's family life in Teheran and the move to New York where she completes her schooling, marries, has four children, and begins charitable work within the Armenian community of metropolitan New York. The biography concludes with her years in Phoenix where her civic leadership and philanthropy included the founding of the non-profit organization, "Thank you America," and the endowment of The Melikian Center at Arizona State University. From Persia to America draws upon extended first-person interviews with Emma Ordjanian Melikian who remains deeply engaged and discerning in her tenth decade.

In this memoir, Pinky shares her struggles with mental illness, trauma, and grief—things that many people face but few talk about openly. Growing up in a family where emotions were suppressed, Pinky learned to conceal her pain from an early age. Bullied at school and trapped in an unhappy marriage, she faced numerous challenges that tested her strength. Yet, through it all, she found ways to keep going—running barefoot, seeking help, and learning to embrace herself. This book is more than a story of survival.
