roles of mothers and daughters are constantly being questioned and redefined. Because I Love Her explores the deepest bonds and truths of motherhood by sharing stories and secrets of becoming a mother and grandmother. Ranging from established and bestselling authors to exciting new voices, these women reveal what their mothers taught them, what they in turn hope to impart to their daughters and, finally, what they've learned as a bridge between the two.By Ralph Waldo Emerson.

todos os aparelhamentos e colocar o barco no mar para evitar todo tipo de catástrofe.Paraíso e inferno são separados apenas por uma linha muito tênue. Quem a ultrapassa, seu destino está condenado a mudar drástica e subitamente.A medida que a tarde caía, já no crepúsculo, se percebiam as faíscas que iluminavam toda a abóbada celestial no horizonte, rompendo com violência perversa a tranquilidade da noite que se anunciava.A sombra mortal da tempestade com sua marcha lenta se aproximava ao navio, inexoravelmente.Inútil dar a volta. Contra todos os prognósticos de horas anteriores, a tempestade encaminhava seu andar ameaçante para a embarcação.Não há nada pior que cair no abismo do inferno.Trovões e relâmpagos anunciavamla chegada às portas do mundo dos infernos. As ondas se levantavam enormes de sua letargia inicial formando desmedidos braços de água para pegar tudo o que tivesse ao seu redor.O mar faminto por tragar tudo o que por lei natural lhe pertenece. Tudo o que se encontra em seus domínios.E a embarcação começou a ser sacudida com fúria selvagem. Os marinheiros afogavam seus gritos desesperados enquanto tratavam de colocar o barco sob controle que se balançava como se fosse um barquinho de papel.A morte não tem pressa em seu andar nem tem que se anunciar. Chega forda de tempo e sem aviso prévio. Tal é o balanço da existência. Do que hoje é e do que fica dele depois.Arrastados por aquelas enormes ondas saiam pela borda lançados irreversivelmente para mais além.Cleto, impulsionado por um instinto, como último recurso apenas tevo tempo de se envolver com umas redes que protegiam alguns lenços enormes de lona ficando preso como parte do pacote, enquanto em uma dança tétrica, daquele barco ecoava o raBy Thomas Carlyle.

The editors who brought us Unsettling America and Identity Lessons have compiled a short-story anthology that focuses on themes of…
racial and ethnic assimilation. With humor, passion, and grace, the contributors lay bare poignant attempts at conformity and the alienation sometimes experienced by ethnic Americans. But they also tell of the strength gained through the preservation of their communities, and the realization that it was often their difference from the norm that helped them to succeed. In pieces suggesting that American identity is far from settled, these writers illustrate the diversity that is the source of both the nation's great discord and infinite promise. .By Frank Norris.
