The Mother of All Degrassi - A Memoir

Linda Schuyler

Casa editrice: ECW Press

Sinossi

When a young schoolteacher decides to teach her Grade 8 class about filmmaking and creates a documentary that ends up being broadcast internationally, she sets in motion a career of storytelling for an age group largely ignored by TV executives … and creates one of the most-loved television franchises of all time
		 
Includes fabulous behind-the-scenes photos and stories for Degrassi fans
		 
Linda Schuyler, co-creator and executive producer of the long-running Degrassi series, shares her personal stories about the grit and determination necessary to make it as a woman entrepreneur in the bourgeoning independent Canadian television industry of the early 1980s.
		 
After surviving a near-fatal car accident in 1968, Linda found her life continuing to veer in unexpected directions, ultimately leading her to use her innate abilities as an educator to become a successful storyteller and businesswoman.
		 
Linda’s deep fondness for teenagers has made her a champion for adolescents. In The Mother of All Degrassi, she shares her strong belief that television is all about the story, and a good story is all about making the political personal. Through anecdotes and introspection — and some great behind-the-scenes stories for Degrassi fans — Linda examines her philosophy to dream big, think small, meet life head-on, and always keep an open heart.

The Road to Unafraid - How the...

Jeff Struecker, a "Black Hawk Down" hero, the Army's Top Ranger, now an Army Chaplain, relates his own tales from the frontlines of every U.S. initiative since Panama, and tells how God taught him faith from the front in fear-soaked times. As readers go on-mission with Struecker through his harrowing tales, they will learn how to face their own fears with faith in a mighty God.

Top 10 Short Stories The -...

Robert Louis Stevenson, HP...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In this volume the wonders of Sci-Fi and its inventions are twisted with the darkness of horror to reveal narratives that grip us in inventive ways. Perhaps only pens of the calibre of Lovecraft, Stevenson, Wells and their literary colleagues can so easily lure our senses into dark and terrifying times.

They do everything together: work, travel, dance, sing, and love. Everything changes when Stephan is diagnosed with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and then with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS - Lou Gehrig's disease). As the diseases progress, the dynamic, vivacious man Martha married disappears. Does Martha have what it takes to care for him? Will Stephans love win out and give Martha the strength she needs to walk Stephan to the end? 
"I LOVED IT! It spoke to me in so many ways. It drew me in and, even though I never met Stephan, he now feels like someone I knew so well and a good friend.. This book is well written in a conversational manner which I love. So raw, honest, vulnerable and fresh. I laughed, I cried, and I was so struck by the contrast you created with the time changes. I woke up still thinking about every chapter!"
