  Known as "the feisty one," young Barbara will do whatever it takes to protect herself and her younger siblings from the predators in their lives. Her experiences are extraordinary, from countless nights sleeping under a claw foot tub to evade her abuser to witnessing the burning of an interracial couple. Though she was the self-appointed protector of her mother from various abusers, those lessons were not always applied as she pursued her own adult relationships. Yet even when she experienced defeat and despair, she learned she was never defeated. Not In The Fire is for anyone tempted to doubt their usefulness and ability to carry on. Journey with Barbara as she finds that God is not in the fiery events in her life, but in a gentle, silent voice.

  Mothercare - On Obligation Love...

  Lynne Tillman

  Brilliantly original novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman became one of nearly 53 million Americans who care for a sick family member when her mother developed an unusual and little understood condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. 
   
   
   
  Instantly, Tillman's independent and spirited mother went from someone she knew to someone else, a woman entirely dependent on her children—an eleven-year process through which her mother underwent many surgeries and some misdiagnoses, while the family navigated consultations and confrontations with doctors, adjusting to the complexity of her cognitive issues, including memory loss. 
   
   
   
  With her notoriously exquisite writing style and reputation as a "rich noticer of strange things" (Colm Toíbín), Tillman describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and frustrating years of caring for a sick parent. 
   
   
   
  Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver, responsible for the life of another—a parent, loved or not, or a friend. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.

  Ancient Explorers of Eastern...

  Where did the first colonizers of North America from Europe, North Africa and the British Isles first land? 
  The greatest mixed cluster is in New England and spreading out from it. And how did these ancient travellers journey across the face of North America? Generally in the same way that they got there. In watercraft! To the ancients the seas, lakes and rivers were the superhighways as crossing land until the later Romans developed road systems was in many cases near impossible if not exceptionally difficult. This is how all great exploration has always been done until recently. You sail across a sea and then up the first river you find to see where it will go and this scenario never changes. You only go overland when there are no rivers or lakes as it is much harder to consign goods or travel over unexplored territory than by water. 
  Another great superhighway to trade was from the Gulf of Mexico and up its tributaries and in some cases via now long lost rivers to the Great Lakes themselves. In fact you did not even need long lost rivers. Present day ones would do just as well. The Des Moines River which connects up with the Mississippi River runs within five miles west of Lake Michigan within the present city limits of Chicago. Not too far to move a boat across land from the Great Lakes to the Des Moines River. Even less distance in the thousand year pluvial periods when water levels were higher and there was more rain. There were wider rivers and more lakes to travel across.

  Responsibility - The Accountable...

  Responsibility is the cornerstone of a meaningful life, forming the basis for personal growth, trust, and fulfillment. It is the ability to own one's actions, decisions, and their consequences without shifting blame onto others. This chapter examines the intricate nature of responsibility and its profound influence on our character and relationships. At its core, responsibility involves acknowledging the power and impact of our choices. When individuals accept responsibility, they embrace a mindset that values integrity, self-discipline, and accountability. This mindset is critical for personal development and paves the way for a more respectful and trustworthy society. 
  The concept of responsibility is not merely about following rules or fulfilling duties; it extends into every aspect of our lives. It is evident in the way we interact with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as in our professional endeavors. When we take responsibility, we are better equipped to learn from our mistakes and strive for continuous improvement. This process of learning and growing is essential, as it helps us understand the importance of our actions and their potential impact on others. Embracing responsibility means accepting that our decisions have consequences, both positive and negative, and that we are accountable for managing these outcomes. 
  Moreover, responsibility instills a sense of purpose and direction. When individuals consciously choose to be responsible, they align their actions with their values and goals. This alignment brings about clarity in decision-making and helps build trust within communities. Trust is a vital element in every relationship, as it enables open communication and fosters deeper connections. In this context, being responsible is not a burden, but a privilege that empowers us to contribute positively to society.
