Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The author is a grandmother, explorer, survivor, activist, and writer strutting into her eighth decade. Second Star to the Right is a chronicle of those years, her anguish and her bliss splashed across the page. Seeking truth while risking leaps of faith, the role of protector becomes her calling. When her brother suffers a catastrophic injury, she promises to hold her family erect. Finally, she swears to stand beside her loved ones as they battle their own deluge of deadly diseases. Tumbling down forbidden love opens her heart to life's greatest possibilities. Sailing out into a planet pre-globalization, she resolves to live the life of a bold wanderer. When her ship sinks in a distant ocean, and a raft meant to offer her life transforms into her deathbed, she gratefully accepts a proposal of marriage in the final moments when all seems lost. Traveling alone to work in Africa acutely alters the reality in which she will forever after be able to engage her world.Yet, it is while raising her own children in an arena that, as the fierce Ms. Didion observes, "the ground trembled and the center threatened not to hold," where she meets her greatest challenge. Like all remarkable women rising every day to till the sacred earth of their remarkable lives, she illuminates what we mysterious creatures are capable of when we summon ourselves. This is the true story of one girl's passage. It begins in the farm belt with her seemingly inauspicious entrance into a post-World War Two Norman Rockwell America and goes on to chart the circuitous course which that girl will fight to stay, for her subsequent seventy-plus tumultuous years. The realism of extraordinary elements unique to this author's tale, revealed with brutal honesty in graphic detail and delivered straight from the heart, will take the reader's breath away. Real life is breathtaking. Throughout a series of bold adventures and plot twists, the author remains at her core a spiritual pilgrim. Although acknowledging that her very existence is indeed mystifying, she never ceases to question it. On this journey, she commits to going deep, going hard, and most predictively going alone, as she accepts that she must. Readers will recall their own poignant "firsts" revisited in the author's account. They will be invited to reflect upon historically and culturally notable events from the past century. All experienced and examined through the lens of a girl who is growing up in the swirl of it all every moment of every day. It is her story, but it is an American story, a woman's story. A story of revelations, experiences, and consequences. The reader might find themselves harking back to where and who they were when these pivotal episodes occurred in their own lives. A whirring newsreel of intimate vignettes animates the page. The writer appears as both protagonist and narrator, voyeur and exhibitionist, mentor and student. Her antagonists emerge as the relentless passage of time, her search for her own authenticity, and a universe curiously intent on taking jabs at her, requiring she "put up her dukes." All through her life, she travels back, peeks into hushed rooms, discovers her younger self waiting there prepared to tell her the truth. That child will become her master and her muse. That child will bear witness. The author comes to understand that a woman's heartbeat is inseparable from the pulse of the universe, her existence woven into the fabric of life. And she allows that living in a body is not easy for those who remember the life of the spirit. She accepts that for women, this is the eternal quest, finally avowing that our stories matter. Within these pages, we are allowed to take a walk with the author back through a bygone era and one gal's profoundly human narrative.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Muzungu, the Swahili word for white folk, translated literally means 'confused person wandering about.' During the author's months working and traveling through Kenya, this description fits her to a tee. Her audacious Kenyan adventure makes for a bucket load of anecdotes and impressions born of heart and hands-on experience--enough to knock your socks off. The devil in Africa is in the details, and Muzungu is there in the trenches - raw, down and dirty, unapologetic. The author witnesses religious elders morphing into villains, political leaders exposed as criminals, tribal chiefs engaging in forbidden rituals, disease obliterating a generation, dedicated missionaries at the ends of their ropes, and a country in violent revolt. Her husband is railroaded and sentenced to prison. Her co-worker, the author's stalwart bellwether for hard fact and unlikely personal guide into the shadowy underbelly of the country, ultimately commits suicide. She is present for a bizarre meeting between doctors and activists from President Bush's AIDS Relief Project. With these topics being ever-present on today's world stage, this is one story that is dying to get out there. The author's white skin and declaration that she is a writer become her free pass through each successive door and ticket to all events, bar none: in the hospital wards, surgery rooms, orphan clinics, homes, schools, villages, churches, government offices, during tribal ceremonies and throughout the commission of heinous crimes. The reader will meet an African mission's peculiar band of residents up close and personal, their unsparing good, bad and ugly. The author herself is not immune to this intense scrutiny. Quite the opposite, in fact. No pious filter softens this writer's lens. A living newsreel of realities informs the narrative. Candid conversations and interviews are recorded verbatim and in their entirety. The real 'AIDS in Africa' will be disclosed. Western definition does not apply. In fact, the reader may come to realize that few concepts familiar to them can be applied in Kenya. The term 'lost in translation' emerges as a gross understatement. Fellow volunteers who find themselves trapped in the foxholes during a horrific national political revolution witness and report from the front lines.Secret tribal rituals are described in graphic detail. Long-established cultural traditions are examined. Western religion's influence is dissected. Foreign intervention is challenged. History is revisited. Kenya is deconstructed. The reader is invited into a tiny school where the students create a children's picture book for the author in the hope that she can get it published for them in America. Vignettes from the Orphan Feeding Program and the Mobile Medical Clinic will break hearts. Tribal chiefs, church bishops, heads of Non-Governmental Organizations, leaders of Faith-Based Operations, representatives of all manner of self-righteous American and European groups desperate to leave their idealistic fingerprints on the continent, hold forth. Those with their fingers truly on the pulse of the people furiously demand to be heard as well. However, it is the locals themselves who provide the most unwaveringly transparent view of the Kenyans and their condition. Muzungu is complete with color photographs that will touch anyone who has ever had a financial, spiritual, anthropological, sociological or humanitarian interest in Africa, or those who are simply adventurers at heart. Unlike other books on the subject of Africa, this one is specific to the author's own uniquely personal experience with Kenya - too fantastic to be believed. Almost.
