Maid: Hard Work Low Pay and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land (Discussion Prompts)

Sarah Fields

Sinopse

“In her New York Times bestselling book Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive, author Stephanie Land shares her story and other real stories of overworked and underpaid American workers. She tells their story of living on food stamps and coupons to eat. She tells them of the programs from the government that provided her basic housing. She tells of the arrangement that also doubled as halfway houses. She told them of aloof government employees who have called her lucky for being able to receive the assistance she needs. Stephanie Land did not feel any bit of luck. She then wrote their stories to commemorate their fight and to be able to eventually cut through the stigmas of belonging in the working poor. Through Stephanie Land’s compassionate and unflinching writing style, she gives a journalist’s perspective about the "servant" worker. She writes about those who are pursuing the great American Dream hailing from below the poverty line. Maid is an inspiring tribute to the determination, resilience, strength, and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.”

Two Pieces of Cloth - One...

Joe Gold

Torn apart by war. Reunited through faith. 
In this remarkable true story of the Holocaust, we follow David Goldberger from the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, back to Budapest where his wife, Aurelia, and infant son are hiding under false Christian identities. 
By the time he is liberated by the allies, Goldberger weighs a skeletal sixty-five pounds and is told to wait for the Slovakian legion to rescue him. With the threat of typhus looming, Goldberger instead escapes with a group of men to Hannover. There, he is given two pieces of wool cloth-the key to rebuilding his future as he searches for his wife and child. 
Drawn from survivor testimony, personal conversations, and archival documents, and vividly brought to life by Goldberger's son Joe Gold, Two Pieces of Cloth bears witness to the horrors of the Holocaust, while serving as a testament to the power and resilience of the human spirit.

The Birth of the Living God - A...

Ana-Marie Rizzuto

Utilizing both clinical material based on the life histories of twenty patients and theoretical insights from the works of Freud, Erikson, Fairbairn, and Winnicott, Ana-Maria Rizzuto examines the origin, development, and use of our God images. Whereas Freud postulated that belief in God is based on a child's idea of his father, Rizzuto argues that the God representation draws from a variety of sources and is a major element in the fabric of one's view of self, others, and the world.

Preview: 
 
 
 
Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants is a book about perceived disadvantage. People with few resources or certain disadvantages may seem weak and unlikely to win. However, in many cases, the same factors that make underdogs seem weak gives them built-in advantages. Underdogs are much more likely to win than people think. 
 
In the biblical battle between David and the giant Goliath, David won because he refused to play by the rules of the powerful. He used a deadly sling rather than engaging in honorable hand-to-hand combat. The weak often feel free to adopt scrappy, unexpected tactics that the powerful disdain. As a result, powerful nations are often defeated by insurgencies.
