Driving Her Life Away (eBook, ePUB)
Mickey's parents have three outdated ideas about pursuing a university degree: If a young woman isn't socially adept enough to find nice men to date, her parents should send her to college to get her "MRS" degree.People with trust funds might as well use them for higher education rather than wasting them on a debauched lifestyle.Leaving home to attend college is an acceptable way to prepare for a job if you live in Podunk, Montana. The problem is, Mickey lives in Chicago, doesn't have a trust fund, and never met a stranger. It appears she's stuck in a dead end job driving a senior citizens' bus. Is she doomed to a blue collar job while her best friend enjoys life on campus? Time marches on, and Mickey has a few awkward confrontations with several passengers: a man with an illicit side hustle, a woman who hoards newspapers--even her chihuahua Napoleon won't behave! Despite these complexities, she finds herself intuitively capable of helping those in distress. Could these skills contribute to the scholarship applications she continues to complete, despite her parents' indifference? Just when she's ready to scream in frustration, Mickey finds new purpose volunteering for a fundraising committee chaired by a handsome Ph.D student. But at the fundraiser's after-party a hopeful introduction to a potential mentor is interrupted by the appearance of her scofflaw passenger. Will her innate compassion and emotional intelligence lead to a university career, or will she just 'drive her life away?'- Shop: buecher

In the Darkroom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 825min
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author of Backlash, an astonishing confrontation with the enigma of her father and the larger riddle of identity consuming our age. 'In the summer of 2004, I set out to investigate someone I scarcely knew: my father. The project began with a grievance, the grievance of a daughter whose parent had absconded from her life. I was in pursuit of a scofflaw, an artful dodger who had skipped out on so many things - obligation, affection, culpability, contrition. 'I was preparing an indictment, amassing discovery for a trial. But somewhere along the line, the prosecutor became a witness....' So begins Susan Faludi's extraordinary inquiry into the meaning of identity in the modern world and her own haunted family saga. When the feminist writer learned that her 76-year-old father - long estranged and living in Hungary - had undergone sex reassignment surgery, that investigation would turn personal and urgent. How was this new parent who claimed to be 'a complete woman now' connect to the silent, explosive and ultimately violent father that she had known, the photographer who'd built his career on the alteration of images? Faludi chases that mystery into the recesses of her suburban childhood and her father's many previous incarnations: American dad, Alpine mountaineer, swashbuckling adventurer in the Amazon outback, Jewish fugitive in Holocaust Budapest. When the author travels to Hungary to reunite with her father, she drops into a labyrinth of dark histories and dangerous politics in a country hell-bent on repressing its past and constructing a fanciful - and virulent - nationhood. The search for identity that has transfixed our century was proving as treacherous for nations as for individuals. Faludi's struggle to come to grips with her father's reinvented self takes her across borders - historical, political, religious, sexual - to bring her face to face ungekürzt. Language: English.
