It's so amazing how God guides you to where He wants you to be. This book began by writing in my journal daily to release the stresses of every day life. This is a blessing to share the written words of inspiration with others. Your silence is golden; it consists of spending time with self. Expressing yourself from within is the best therapy no money can buy. The poems are based on real life and learning how to live with the trials and triumphs of life. The title of this book, My Silence is Golden, describes my quiet nature and how I consume life. Learning to enjoy life, being grateful of what each day brings. Remember that, as we live day by day, we tend to think everything we accomplished is our doing. God reminds us, He is in charge. Yes we are blessed to be able to turn up and down the volume of life. God intervenes to comfort and guide us. As you read the pages of this book, the poems are from the heart. Each poem signifies how the simple things are the most precious things. I hope this book inspires you to endure what life has in store for you.

To the readers who have read my first book Life and Deaf published in April 2004. this new story will answer their desire to know what happened to our daughter Rosemary who became deaf at the age of two years due to an overdose of streptomycin, and her progress thereafter despite eminent specialists suggesting her only vocabulary would be "singing" and her speech would be very limited. It was always our hope and indeed our determination to see she grew up to be a happy, self-confident and friendly adult, one who would be welcomed by the rest of society as a normal, capable and totally trustworthy individual. I think this is the ideal of any parents of a disabled child. We were so very fortunate that with the teaching of her wonderful teachers at St John's School for the Deaf in Boston Spa allied to her own wonderfully straightforward resilient nature, our goal appeared to have been reached by the close of my first book. This was in spite of many early battles, which I must stress often ended in terrible tears and tantrums. The previous book closed on the day Rosemary married Steve, a day that was such a triumph for us as we heard Rosemary, who had been unable to say a single word from the age of two until she was seven, standing in Church and making her wedding vows for all to hear. This book continues the saga!

A few years ago, two teenage girls were kidnapped and their names were given on the national news. Luckily they were found alive. It was determined that they had been sexually assaulted, and their names were not given after that. What is wrong with this picture? We hear the name of every crime victim except the name of people that are sexually assaulted. We are protecting their privacy as if they have done something wrong. Rape is a crime just like murder, stealing, robbing a bank, carjacking and any and every other crime that we have to deal with as a society. Sometimes a rape victim is shown on television but her face is not shown because she is frightened that her rapist will come back to hurt her. This is understandable. However, when the rapist is in jail and the victim is on television her face is still hidden. Why? Another question is why are rape victims reluctant to come forward and report that someone has just raped them? Could the reason be that the rapist is the victims boss, teacher, colleague, boyfriend, a family member, a casual acquaintance, or maybe a stranger? Ungolden Silence is an exploration of how rape is treated in the United States. It is imperative to change the way that society looks and deals with this social taboo. Ungolden Silence is a novel that will leave the reader with many questions. It will also attempt to answer some of the questions that society asks but never seem to want to answer. We must look at the history of how men have been allowed to treat women. It is important not to just know the information, it is important to act on it. Ungolden Silence will explore the world of rape and expose the myths through articles that are based on facts. The main questions that needs to be answered in why one human being would rape another human being. These reasons are explored in the story. When any crime takes place, the families of the victims as well as the criminal are involved. Ungolden Silence will illustrate that the criminal is a real person, and rarely do they commit crimes just for the fun of it. It is important to know that rape is a part of violence. Through the characters of Ungolden Silence it is hoped that society will begin to find a way to eliminate the acceptance of violence, which includes the act of rape. It is imperative that society understands that rape does not stand on an island by itself. Rape is a room in the house of violence. When looking into the house of violence we cannot just go into the front door and head to the rape room. We must look at other rooms. One room we must look into is the room of abuse. When we enter the room we see that there are different kinds of abuse. They are sexual, physical, and mental. Again the main question is why a man or a woman will rape another person. While the answer is far too complex Ungolden Silence will attempt to give some possible explanation. The answers are not simple or exact. Each rape case is as unique as the persons involved -- both perpetrator and the victim. Ungolden Silence looks at this social taboo in a unique way.

Readings combined into a single cluster to English Japanese poems of Joycean density untranslatable as single poems came to be called composite translations. While this book essays the translation of poetry and glances at other books of multiple translation, it is mostly an exhibition of the art not only intended for serious students or scholars of translation but all word-lovers. While the author hates how to books, writing the last chapter, he came to realize that not only translators, but monolingual readers who find it hard to compose poems or do not know how to get other people to do so, might find it instructive. He dreams of millions of people working out their own poems - or variations on others' work - rather than crossword puzzles. A crossword solved ends up in the trash; with a poem, you can have your cake and not only eat it, too, but serve it up for others to eat.--amazon.com.
