Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Children of Indian descent often move to the United States in search of a better life. Other Indian children, born in America, are often materially successful, but they lose touch with the values of traditional Indian culture, including a deep love and respect for parents and gratitude for the parents loving sacrifices to aid them on their life's path. In Mother of a Millionaire, author Raoji (Ray) M. Patel provides insight into the issues, both Indian children and their parents face, as they make their home in a new country with different customs and ways of living through eleven short stories. In some stories, a spouse's selfishness creates a rift within the family. In a few cases, the sons rebel against the parents' interfering ways, and they grow apart from their parents, or they simply banish the parents from their lives. In other stories, a father slips from his patriarchal responsibilities, creating family discord and a loss of respect. This collection of short stories shows how Indian parents strongly believe forgiveness-one of the most difficult challenges to face-makes one happier and healthier and frees one from sin. But as an ancient Indian scripture says, forgiveness is 'the greatness of the great' because it creates unprecedented greatness in the forgiver.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A provocative piece of literary work! Provides a vivid exposition of the evil within our midst, the truly dark side of our Saint Lucian culture. Disturbing in its tortuosity, it is not for the faint of heart or those with deep dark secrets. It may be found offensive, inflammatory, and challenging to many of previous eras and also to those in this current era who sing and dance to the words 'I wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad! . . . Wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine . . . buy the things I never had!' A must read, however, for those seekers of wealth, power, and status! The book does a great job of characterizing the escalating problem of depravity of the human soul stemming from social, cultural, and spiritual deficiencies. It begs the question, Has our holy mother, the Catholic church, been able to attain that nexus between Saint Lucia's Afrocentric culture and Christianity Has our local church been able to challenge and confront what has been deemed acceptable to the bourgeoisie as inherent 'social/cultural/spiritual values' reflected in 'duplicity in religious outlook' The book however provides a ray of hope as it culminates in an expression of the beauty of the sacramental life provided by mother church, which is available to all in order to 'put on God's armor so as to be able to resist the devil's tactics.' It is hoped that there are still many God-fearing persons in our society who continue to strive for the virtues of honesty and integrity, not willing to compromise the well-being of their fellowman for the sake of an insatiable ambition for power, wealth, and fame! This brilliant exposition then ought to move those who 'possess a genuine soul, a social and moral conscience,' those who still bear light in their hearts, to bring light and life into successive generations of our beloved country, Saint Lucia, seeking to 'reject evil under all conditions.'. …
