Children Of The Dust by Louise Lawrence Pdf

A powerful post-nuclear holocaust novel described by the author as, 'my cry against the monstrous weapons men have made'. Everyone thought, when the alarm bell rang, that it was just another fire practice. But the first bombs had fallen on Hamburg and Leningrad, the headmaster said, and a full-scale nuclear attack was imminent . . . It's a real-life nightmare. Sarah and her family have to stay cooped up in the tightly-sealed kitchen for days on end, dreading the inevitable radioactive fall-out and the subsequent slow, torturous death, which seems almost preferable to surviving in a grey, dead world, choked by dust. But then, from out of the dust and the ruins and the desolation, comes new life, a new future, and a whole brave new world...

Children of Dust by Ali Eteraz Pdf

“[Eteraz’s] adventures are a heavenly read.” —O, the Oprah magazine “In this supremely assured, lush, and rip-roaring book, Eteraz manages to do the impossible, gliding confidently over the chasm that divides East and West. Wildly entertaining…memoir of the first order.” —Murad Kalam, author of Night Journey Ali Eteraz’s award-winning memoir reveals the searing spiritual story of growing up in Pakistan under the specter of militant Islamic fundamentalism and then overcoming the culture shock of emigrating to the United States. A gripping memoir evocative of Persepolis, Reading Lolita in Tehran, and the novel The Kite Runner, Eteraz’s narrative is also a cathartic chronicle of spiritual awakening. Yael Goldstein Love, author of Overture, calls Children of Dust “a gift and a necessity [that] should be read by believers and nonbelievers alike.”

Children of Dust by Marlin Barton Pdf

In 2000, as Seth Anderson researches his family history, he discovers an unexpected story and "contained within it lies a larger story that might speak not just to Southern history but beyond it." In the late 1800s in rural Alabama, Melinda Anderson struggles to give birth to her tenth child, tended by Annie Mae, a part-Choctaw midwife. When the infant dies, just hours after birth, suspicion falls upon two women--Betsy, Annie Mae's daughter and the mixed-race mistress of Melinda's husband, Rafe; and Melinda herself, worn out by perpetual pregnancies and nurturing a dark anger toward her husband. Seeking to clear her own name and tarnish that of her enemy, Melinda enlists the help of a conjure woman who dabbles in dark magic--with tragic consequences. As Seth's search for his family's truth continues, he must come to terms with their failure in confronting their past and in his own culpability in that failure. Filled with haunts, new and old, Children of Dust is a novel about the relationship between two women allied against a violent man with secrets of his own, and it is also a complex look at race, violence, and the ways in which stories are passed down through generations.

In 1983, arms merchants, sex traffickers, and drug dealers operated out of Southern Thailand with impunity. On the tear-dropped shaped island nation of Sri Lanka, racial riots ignited a civil war. In this hostile environment, Reno James, a Vietnam vet whose service was unappreciated, returned to Southeast Asia and traffics in small arms. His only client is the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Jesse Long aka Longboard, a CIA assassin during the Vietnam war, surfs the beaches of Southern Thailand still addicted to the mortal sin of terminating life. Chola, a Tamil accounting student dropped his text books and picked up an AK-47 to oppose the Sri Lankan government as a Tamil Tiger; a terrorist. The Quang sisters, Phuong and LY, are street children in the city formerly known as Saigon. European blood courtesy of a French grandfather had diluted their Asian features branding them 'b?i ??i' (Children of the Dust). The derogatory term implying nothing more than something to be swept away. Drifting on the tides of a cruel world, these outcast life's journeys collide in an epic tale of the human desire to exist
