A Non-Fiction book exposing the unthinkable. Diana Floyd's 5-star reviewed autobiography reveals top traumatic events from her childhood - death, sexual abuse, divorce, addiction, serious illnesses, dysfunctional relationships, family drama's, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures and much more! 27 Years Later - My journey with child abuse, a psychotic mother, death and suicide, child loss and a magnitude of undiagnosed disorders leaving doctors flabbergasted! REVIEW by Yvonne van Niekerk, Therapist at FAMSA Outeniqua "I can not believe that one person can go through so much trauma within 27 years! There is very little information available about psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. In her book, Diana explains what PNES is, how a seizure can unfold and its typical presentation. , how such a patient should be treated during an attack and what the triggers are.I admire Diana that she was able to write this book while she had literally 5 to 20 attacks a day every day.I have known Diana for 7 years and am amazed me about her courage, boldness and humor during the most difficult circumstances. " REVIEW by Maritza Gerber, Teacher at Heart At Work - Incedendo "This book is excellent. Very well written!" This is my story. Here, I have chronicled all the ‘too-crazy-to-believe’ events that have happened in my life. I hope all who go on this journey with me will gasp, giggle, and go nuts as they eagerly chew the pages with their eyes. The material stretches as far back as my childhood in the 90’s until today. Why ‘currently’? Because like the ocean, the waves of drama never stop in my life! I started writing this book in the hope of curing the sudden disorder I have recently developed – Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures. BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE! For the past few months, I have not only been struggling with PNES but also a panga hanging over my head called cancer. So far, I have been 450kms away from my family for 8 months and counting due to my medical treatment. COVID-19 is also contributing to me being exiled. I do get out now and again, but that is only to book into hospital and get manhandled. At 27 years old, you would not believe how much drama has taken up these years. This book covers most of the top traumatic events one can think of that I have experienced: childhood traumas, death, sexual abuse, divorce, addiction, serious illnesses and being written-off despite innocence. A lot of humour has been carried through the devastating events that I have laid bare, just to make it that much more exciting! Some of the stories sound so unreal that you will literally start laughing in total disbelief. I hope you enjoy the book and keep a look out for additional pages, as my writing journey, as well as my day-to-day life is a process of progress. Happy reading!

Diana Oestreich, a combat medic in the Army National Guard, enlisted like both her parents before her. But when she was commanded to run over an Iraqi child to keep her convoy rolling and keep her battle buddies safe, she was confronted with a choice she never thought she'd have to make. Torn between God's call to love her enemy and her country's command to be willing to kill, Diana chose to wage peace in a place of war. For the remainder of her tour of duty, Diana sought to be a peacemaker--leading to an unlikely and beautiful friendship with an Iraqi family. A beautiful and gut-wrenching memoir, Waging Peace exposes the false divide between loving our country and living out our faith's call to love our enemies--whether we perceive our enemy as the neighbor with an opposing political viewpoint, the clerk wearing a head-covering, or the refugee from a war-torn country. By showing that us-versus-them is a false choice, this book will inspire each of us to choose love over fear.

Being an outsider is tough.Being an outsider in your own home and not knowing why is soul-crushing. It is isolating, painful, and confusing. Loneliness and longing are your reality. You're consumed with guilt, self-deprecating inner dialogue, and worst of all, the fear of doing even the smallest thing wrong. You spend a lot of time alone...even when you're not. You watch a lot of TV.Obviously, this is all your fault. Obviously, the reason you are living this way is because of something you did to warrant it. If they beat you, you deserved it. If they punish you, you asked for it. You never want to go home, but you don't have a choice because you've never had a choice. This is it. This is what you have. This is all you know.And yet, you still smile when you sometimes catch a glimpse of the sweeter things and treasure the smallest kindness. Inside, you know life isn't supposed to be like this, but it is. Your life is like a bubble of poison gas that could burst at any moment...you know that. You live that. But how are you supposed to make sense of any of this? How do you make it stop?You can't. You are powerless. You haven't even reached kindergarten yet.From a severely abusive childhood in the inner city of Baltimore, a string of unsatisfying relationships and several broken marriages, to a six-figure income from the multi-million dollar business I built out of my home, this is my story in my own words.I was stolen as a baby when my mother died. I was lied to by my kidnapper and used as a Cinderella punching bag by his never-ending parade of "step-mothers" and girlfriends, and much worse when he didn't have one.This memoir covers the good, the bad, and the ugly.As this story unfolds, my hope is that you, the reader, will discover a little girl who survived that abusive childhood, healed, and empowered herself through discipline and hard work. I hope you see a girl who became a woman who learned from her mistakes and a whole human being who loves her newfound family with all her heart.I am no longer an outsider. I can go home now.

From one of our most important scholars and civil rights activist icon, a powerful study of the women’s liberation movement and the tangled knot of oppression facing Black women. “Angela Davis is herself a woman of undeniable courage. She should be heard.”—The New York Times Angela Davis provides a powerful history of the social and political influence of whiteness and elitism in feminism, from abolitionist days to the present, and demonstrates how the racist and classist biases of its leaders inevitably hampered any collective ambitions. While Black women were aided by some activists like Sarah and Angelina Grimke and the suffrage cause found unwavering support in Frederick Douglass, many women played on the fears of white supremacists for political gain rather than take an intersectional approach to liberation. Here, Davis not only contextualizes the legacy and pitfalls of civil and women’s rights activists, but also discusses Communist women, the murder of Emmitt Till, and Margaret Sanger’s racism. Davis shows readers how the inequalities between Black and white women influence the contemporary issues of rape, reproductive freedom, housework and child care in this bold and indispensable work.

Chronicling the life of a broken child, we begin before her birth, looking at the circumstances of her parent's marriage, and an insight into why and how a child could be so horribly abused without intervention from Social Services or the Montreal police - a force that consisted of her family members, one of which became Chief of the Montreal Police Force. Throughout childhood, an endless cycle of sexual abuse from multiple abusers-included her mother, a devout Christian. Using God as a weapon, she would terrify Phyllis, and her siblings into submission. Food and heating were often scarce in the family house, and the children would improvise to survive. Phyllis's mother was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia and was routinely institutionalised, leaving the children to be placed into the foster care system. That did not end the abuse, and often the foster homes were more hellish than their home life. Phyllis recounts her perilous path through life to present day in this gripping true story of her undying courage. From a helpless child to a troubled teen, Phyllis was not given the life skills to make good decisions and ended up seeking love in all the wrong places. But a casual trip and her path to God would change her life - forever.

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
