Synopsis

Bound Feet Walk intimately explores the life of a Chinese woman navigating early 20th-century China and immigrating to America, highlighting themes of female resilience and cultural clash. The book delves into the oppressive practice of foot-binding, a tradition that physically and socially restricted women, and contrasts it with the immigrant experience in America, where Chinese newcomers faced discrimination and hardship. The narrative emphasizes the protagonist's journey from physical bondage to intellectual and emotional liberation, offering a nuanced perspective on immigrant assimilation.

 
This biography unfolds in three parts: the protagonist's early life in China, her arduous journey to America, and her efforts to establish herself and contribute to her community. Using historical research, family records, and oral histories, the book provides a comprehensive portrayal of her life and social context. It reveals how even within restrictive circumstances, the human spirit can triumph through determination and adaptability.

 
By weaving together a personal story with the broader historical narrative of Chinese immigration, Bound Feet Walk offers a compelling exploration of its themes. This book is valuable to those interested in women's history, immigration studies, and Chinese culture, presenting factual information in an engaging and accessible manner.

There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society? 
 
 
 
In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr. Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are. 
 
 
 
● In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of us experience. 
 
 
 
● In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful life that you deserve. 
 
 
 
With a fresh and lucid style, Dr. Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological, and the philosophical to bring you real solutions to life's most challenging problems.

Growing up as a member of a ranching family in Branson, a small town in southeastern Colorado, provided author Larada Horner-Miller a treasure-trove of stories, characters, and emotional moments that make up her touching memoir, This Tumbleweed Landed. This collection of poems and prose transports readers back to rural America during the fifties and sixties, to one idyllic, tight-knit community in particular. Each of the book’s eight sections weaves a nostalgic yarn that tells of playtimes with friends and neighbors, favorite hiding places, living without a telephone for the first eleven years of life, and the touching memories of growing up on a ranch community. Whether it is Saturday night dances or hot days working with 4-H at the county fair, the poems and pages roll along like a tumbleweed in search of a place to land. Readers will find themselves longing to go back to this very specific time and place, whether they actually experienced it in their own lives or not. 
Read about this daddy’s little girl and her adventures that mold and shape her formative years. Where will this tumbleweed land, and what kind of woman will she be when she finally arrives?

The Gwent Levels line the north shore of the Severn Estuary in South Wales: Chepstow at their head; their more famous cousin, the Somerset Levels, across the water; the Welsh capital, Cardiff at their feet. You could waste an hour crossing the Levels by motorway. Or brush aside the journey by train. But writer Marsha O'Mahony has chosen the slow route of foreshore, footpath, and country lane. Over the course of two years, she meandered from village to village collecting conversations and anecdotes as she went. The result is a remarkable oral and social history of this unique landscape and the people who live there.
