This ends up being the root of Precious's sense of hope. Throughout the novel, Precious uses the word "Push!" as a mantra, reminding her of the time she had to deliver a baby (at the young age of 12!) when the paramedics were telling her to keep pushing even though it hurt. In the end, Precious is almost all the way through high school when she meets the first kind woman she ever met: Ms. They make fun of her for her skin color and for her academic set-backs (also the product of mistreatment). They make fun of her for her weight (which is a product of the same abuse in this case). The answer for Precious is that such unspeakable abuse from parents leaves her completely unable to relate successfully with her peers. What happens if instead of supporting and teaching her daughter, the mother becomes jealous and hateful, often beating her child? Or even worse, what happens when a father, instead of protecting and cherishing his daughter's life, decides to rape her? But this novel shows the other side of that coin. This happens when parents encourage children and support them, offering grace when the kid inevitably makes mistakes. One of the most important ways that a parent can help a child is by helping the child to understand their life in positive terms.

Based on original interviews, oral histories, and archival documents, The Good Neighbor traces Rogers's personal, professional, and artistic life through decades of work, including a surprising decision to walk away from the show in 1976 to make television for adults, only to return to the neighborhood with increasingly sophisticated groups of episodes, created in collaboration with experts on child development, about complex issues such as divorce, discipline, mistakes, anger, and competition. The Good Neighbor, the first full-length biography of Fred Rogers, tells the story of this unique and enduring American figure. Rogers was fiercely devoted to children and to taking their fears, concerns, and questions about the world seriously. As the creator and star of public television's Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, he was a champion of compassion, equality, and kindness. Fred Rogers (1928-2003) was an enormously influential pioneer in the history of television for almost forty years. Summary: "Every weekday for decades, a kind man named Mister Rogers stepped through a door in his TV house, spoke directly into the camera while he changed from street clothes into a cardigan and sneakers, and sang, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." Offering unconditional love, this soft-spoken icon was a household name for tens of millions of children, as well as their parents who grew up with this friendly neighbor themselves.

This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand.

Yes, I've listened to many of Kinsale's other novels that he's narrated. Have you listened to any of Nicholas Boulton’s other performances before? How does this one compare? I don't want to share more cause I don't want to reveal anything, but it was a very memorable scene. It was a heart wrenching and tragic way to grow, but after the ambush I feel like she was able to connect with Sheridan on a deeper level. I'd say the scene that stuck out most in my mind was an ambush at sea, because I feel like it pushed Olympia's character to a whole new level of understanding and growth. There are a lot of really memorable moments in this novel. What was one of the most memorable moments of Seize the Fire? There was so much angst, action, romance, great sex, amazingly developed characters, chemistry. I haven't been this hooked into a story for a really long time. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? An entertaining, adventurous, and meaningful story And based on the few interviews I have looked up with Mead recently, it seems that she knows how happy a continuation of the Vampire Academy world will make her fans. I can’t imagine that Richelle Mead doesn’t visit these characters again in the future, since these introductions and storylines were deliberate. There were a few bombs dropped in the book around Adrian and Dimitri, Olive, a new character names Declan (this character stirs up a lot of secrets and questions!), Uncle Rand, and Rose and Dimitri. My only other complaint about the book is that it felt a little rushed there were a lot of elements that weren’t tied up, which leaves room for Mead to expand on the series if she so desires. The Ruby Circle, without giving too much away, proves that love truly conquers all. Ultimately, the arguing stops and they finally get the happiness they deserve. While it was disappointing to read Sydney and Adrian disagreeing and arguing so much in the first half of the story, Mead does a great job of helping the reader understand why the couple argues so much it all boils down to the two of them caring so much for one another. The Ruby Circle, named after the wedding ring that Adrian gave to Sydney, was a fan-pleasing way to end the series. I was more excited for the sixth and final installment of the Bloodlines series than I was for Insurgent and Allegiant (both of which also happened to be letdowns). The anticipation leading up to this novels release was unparalleled (for me). |
