Emmaline Ross was a child of the foster-care system. She had no desire to deal with the reality that was her life, so she created the story she needed. Emmaline became 'Just Em. Like in James Bond'. Em Guy is 50-something when she decides to end her life. Her death is an abrupt shock to her family; they resent her for it. Her husband, Twain, hasn't the courage to contemplate life without Em. Her adult children could not differ more. For Biz, she was a stalwart refuge; for Thea an exacting constraint. For them both, Em's death is stunning and liberating. Em's lifelong friend Queenie simply hankers for what was. Many More Trees is the stories we tell in the narrative of our own lives. It's the lies we tell, the moments we capture, the events we choose to recall; how we call these memories and give them the status of fact. It is about the danger and joy of believing in stories. It's a story about - in the end - whether our lives are fact or fiction is irrelevant. Because, in the end, your home is... your prison... your sanctuary... where your heart is... where your story lives.

An essential interfaith resource for university chaplains and spiritual leaders in higher education. In an increasingly heterogenous age, any university chaplains and spiritual leaders struggle to center their student communities, aware of vast diversities in their needs - the prayers of one tradition are rarely sufficient to honor the many paths their students may be travelling. With this heartfelt collection of interfaith prayers, Janet Fuller leverages the fruits of 40 years of chaplaincy to bridge this gap, offering sample prayers and spiritual direction for use across all communities of learning, from the first day of school to the bittersweet crossroads of graduation. Chaplains will find support for all the essential student struggles, including new beginnings, athletics, loneliness, and the search for hope. For use in part or whole, or as templates for other prayers, these blessings provide a voice for academic communities as they gather to give thanks, remember, and look to the future, all using language that commends itself to many spiritual paths or none at all. The prayers can also be adapted for chaplain use in hospitals, prisons, continuous care retirement communities, military gatherings, and many others. In a time when many exhibit a disinclination to hear with ears or hearts, Blessing the Students invites readers to listen closely to the power of prayer.

This volume examines the connection between socio-economic class and bilingual practices, a previously under-researched area, through looking at differences in bilingual settings that are classified as "immigrant" or "elite" and are thus linked to socio-economic class categories. Fuller chooses for this examination bilingual pre-teen children in Germany and the U.S. in order to demonstrate how local identities are embedded in a wider social world and how ideologies and identities both produce and reproduce each other. In so doing, she argues that while pre-teen children are clearly influenced by macro-level ideologies, they also have agency in how they choose to construct their identities with relation to hegemonic societal discourses, and have many other motivations and identities aside from social class membership which shape their linguistic practices.

Este libro ofrece un acercamiento a la sociolinguistica, centrandose en el espanol hablado en los Estados Unidos. Se examina la historia del espanol en dicho pais, la relacion de la lengua con las identidades latinxs, y las formas en que las ideologias y las politicas linguisticas reflejan y condicionan la percepcion del espanol y sus hablantes.
