Ergebnis für "La Mata" in Coming of Age

Join me, Jared Mata as I dive into my junior year and learn the ins and outs of life. As I deal with breakdowns, anxiety, fake friends, and attempt to find myself.

«Tiempo atrás fui una niña, pero ya no». Así empieza la nueva y sorprendente novela de Edna O'Brien, quien con más de ochenta años ha encontrado la fuerza y la valentía para viajar a Nigeria y entrevistar a varias de las niñas que fueron víctimas de Boko Haram.

Two roads converge and two journeys end at a small, unpromising town called Stoneridge on the high plains of northeast Colorado. Roy Mathis is headed there by car, his head full of inchoate memories and reveries in search of his father, his sister, and context for a fragmented life. Fleeing his mother, who refuses to tell him anything that would help him in his quest, Roy sets his sights on the only desperate hope for a clue in the forgotten whistle-stop town.

On the high plains of Northeastern Colorado, Dennis Camp's world, already small, is getting smaller. Wherever he looks, towns are disappearing, schools are closing, and his social world is shrinking. Emptiness is not inevitable for Dennis himself; however, his mother, who knows him better than he knows himself, has asked him for a promise, and he has given it. If he can just figure out how to act on that promise, his world may become large enough to bring him happiness and fulfillment as a man.

Dennis Camp knew little of what would come by honoring a promise to his dying mother. He would find and forge a large, diverse, and well-found family. The Camp family branches from their roots, with some members leaving the Centennial state, and some branches finding themselves pruned far before others. Old issues seem to have been resolved, yet others have found their way here.
