Описание:
Grief is something that cannot be described or understood at times.
My father was a quiet but honest man. During his last days, he truly lived for God. When I was grieving during his last days, he truly lived for God. When I was grieving during his last days, God called me to express my sadness through sketches.
I was uplifted and encouraged through Ecclesiastes 3:1-II while I grieved. Each sketch, inspired by these verses, drew me closer to God. For the following three months, God led my daughter, Tara, and me through a series of passages as well.
Weeks later, my dear friend Heather Albrecht and my sister Fay Reed encouraged me to turn these sketches into a journal. I pray as you write in this book, that your hearts will also be inspired to truly understand how wonderful God is.
As we travel through life, each season reflects how we are guided through sadness, joy, happiness, and fear. These emotions allow us to journey through secret passages of the heart while being comforted and healed by God's gentile hands.
For refugees and immigrants in the United States, expressions of citizenship and belonging emerge not only during the naturalization process but also during more informal, everyday activities in the community. Based on research in the Dallas–Arlington–Fort Worth area of Texas, this book examines the sociocultural spaces in which Vietnamese and Indian immigrants are engaging with the wider civic sphere.
As Civic Engagements reveals, religious and ethnic organizations provide arenas in which immigrants develop their own ways of being and becoming "American." Skills honed at a meeting, festival, or banquet have resounding implications for the future political potential of these immigrant populations, both locally and nationally. Employing Lave and Wenger's concept of "communities of practice" as a framework, this book emphasizes the variety of processes by which new citizens acquire the civic and leadership skills that help them to move from peripheral positions to more central roles in American society.

Описание: "A blindingly beautiful book" -- Caroline Leavitt
"Reed's painterly descriptions of the Oregon coast are so vivid and real, so beautiful and lyrical that her writing is more like a visual art form." -- Portland Tribune
June is in transition, reeling from her divorce and trying to stay sober. She returns to the Oregon coast where she grew up, and must decide what to do with her late and much-loved grandparents' charming cedar-shingled home, a place haunted by memories of her childhood.
Jameson comes highly recommended to renovate the old house to sell, and from their first contact, he senses a connection with June. He too is unmoored as he struggles to redefine his marriage in the aftermath of loss. But what can the future hold as long as they are gripped so firmly by the past?
The Days When Birds Come Back, like the house itself, is a graceful testament to endurance, rebuilding, and the possibilities of coming home.
"Reed shines with a light hand and direct storytelling, but her characters are what make this novel move--their vulnerability, imperfect recovery, and endearing loss for words." -- Booklist
"Deborah Reed plies the reader with beautiful sentence after beautiful sentence." -- BookPage
