Book Description
Dr. Joan Hoxsey invites you into her life in this deeply personal, yet universally significant story. This is a spiritual memoir that takes a candid look at intergenerational trauma, and, more importantly, how love can heal those deep wounds. We are all on a journey. Experience the Saving Power of Love. Joan Colleran Hoxsey, DMin, sets the stage of her book by revealing the tragedies endured by her parents and their families. She was born into a seemingly fragile, broken world-one in which intergenerational trauma left its mark on all of her family relationships, especially with her mother. Despite these barriers, love and faith have guided Dr. Hoxsey to a fulfilling life. The love of her husband, Michael, was a healing force like no other. This book offers insight and hope for all who may think they come from a dysfunctional family. Couples wanting to strengthen their marriages will find the book invaluable. In this compelling series of personal stories, Dr. Hoxsey, mother of six, takes us on the faith journey of her life. She shares the pain of a father who deserted her family, the anguish of a Catholic Church filled with abuse, and the tremendous sorrow of losing her youngest child and her husband. And yet, she has not only survived these trials, she has been a leader in helping others through them. This is a love story about a woman and a man who have tried to live their Catholic faith in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, and even in death, they are still together.
Writing Catholic Women
Author: J. DelRossoPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137046546
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Writing Catholic Women examines the interplay of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, and sexuality through the lens of Catholicism in a wide range of works by women writers, forging interdisciplinary connections among women's studies, religion, and late twentieth-century literature. Discussing a diverse group of authors, Jeana DelRosso posits that the girlhood narratives of such writers constitute highly charged sites of their differing gestures toward Catholicism and argues that an understanding of the ways in which women write about religion from different cultural and racial contexts offers a crucial contribution to current discussions in gender, ethnic, and cultural studies.

DIVDIVTracing her moral struggles to the day she accidentally took a sip of water before her Communion—a mortal sin—Mary McCarthy gives us eight funny and heartrending essays about the illusive and redemptive nature of memory/divDIV “During the course of writing this, I’ve often wished that I were writing fiction.”/divDIV Originally published in large part as standalone essays in the New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar, Mary McCarthy’s acclaimed memoir begins with her recollections of a happy childhood cut tragically short by the death of her parents during the influenza epidemic of 1918./divDIV Tempering memory with invention, McCarthy describes how, orphaned at six, she spent much of her childhood shuttled between two sets of grandparents and three religions—Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish. One of four children, she suffered abuse at the hands of her great-aunt and uncle until she moved to Seattle to be raised by her maternal grandparents. Early on, McCarthy lets the reader in on her secret: The chapter you just read may not be wholly reliable—facts have been distilled through the hazy lens of time and distance./divDIV In Memories of a Catholic Girlhood, McCarthy pays homage to the past and creates hope for the future. Reminiscent of Nabokov’s Speak, Memory, this is a funny, honest, and unsparing account blessed with the holy sacraments of forgiveness, love, and redemption./divDIV This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary McCarthy including rare images from the author’s estate./div/div
