Living Life in Vitiligo


Book Description

Back in the late 90s I was singing in the church choirs giving God all my talents and gifts. I would see people visiting the church who had Vitiligo, I would go up to them introduce myself and give them a hug. Because I know what theyve been going through. People always are approach me, asking me how was I able to walk around without the makeup on. I let them know that Its God working in me, Hes the one whose keeping me, Protecting us. We cant do anything without him. Once when I was at the YMCA and a lady run from behind her counter telling me about her Vitiligo and how she cant deal with it. One day a total stranger approached me telling me about his problem with dating and Vitiligo. I have a friend who has a neighbor who both her and her husband have Vitiligo. Im always encouraging people, letting them know they can make it. Once I was at the gas station, getting my inspection ticker and an older man was just setting there. I never saw him even look up at me, he just started talking to me, saying, my daughter in law has what you have, I said whats that. He said that, I said oh Vitiligo? He said, my son wants to take his wife out to dinner and to a movie, but she wont come out of the house. There are people all over the world who are struggling, refusing to remove their makeup, hiding in their closets, behind closed doors because theyre so afraid of what people will say about them. It wasnt until I started to sell my book when all the pieces started to come together. It was all the feed back that I was getting back from the people who had read my book that made me realize that all the pain that I went through was not for me, but it was for your pain. The Lord had told me to write this book two years ago. The Lord was preparing me some forty-two years ago. This book was wrote for you, and your pain not mine. The Lord has brought me through all of this to help somebody else. It never was about me, its always been about you and your pain. This book was written as a tool to help other people who don't understand what Vitiligo is, or what do people go through. God took me through all of this for forty-two years just to allow me to write this book. To help other people who are still going through all the physical and mental pain. It really doesn't matter what the illness is. This book can help start the beginning process of I can make it. By taking one day at a time. Pray to God for healing the mind, the spirit, the heart, your esteem, your life. We all must start somewhere, sometime. Start today. God can do anything but fail. God Bless you Norene L.

A cutting, comic odyssey of a hapless hero ensnared by globalization, humanitarian aid, and the international sex trade, from an award-winning young Spanish writer To save lives and get handsomely paid for it—what job could be more rewarding? Moises Froissard has found the career opportunity of his dreams. After a start as a conventional bleeding heart with an idealistic aid group, he quickly wises up to the harsh reality of a world in which human life is just another product in a competitive marketplace. Now he travels the globe on the trail of illegal immigrants, refugees, and other ordinary souls brought low by war, natural disaster, or economic collapse. Scouting the slums and gutters of the world, Moises's task is to unearth nature's most beautiful men, women, and children and save them—for Club Olympus, a top-price international sex club. Then Moises receives his toughest assignment yet: to find a "Nubian prince," an African illegal caught fleetingly in the pages of a glossy magazine. The man is so painfully desirable that Club Olympus will sacrifice anything to have him—even Moises himself. Our narrator begins the chase, dazed, prevaricating, self-obsessed, funny, a little cruel, a little sentimental. The Nubian Prince takes place in a pitiless world where the have-nots will do anything to become haves, while the privileged don't know what to live for. Hilarious, moving, sexually explosive, and deeply disturbing, this bestselling Spanish novel introduces a new European star.




Mother Island


Book Description

A searing memoir that explores the institutions that defined a Puerto Rican woman and what she unlearned to rediscover herself • "A lushly written, deeply felt investigation into the meanings of home, lineage and selfhood." —Melissa Febos, bestselling author of Body Work and Girlhood Growing up in the Midwest, raised by a Puerto Rican mother who was abandoned by her family, Jamie Figueroa and her sisters were estranged from their culture, consumed by the whiteness that surrounded them. In Mother Island, Figueroa traces her search for identity as shaped by and against a mother who settled into the safety of assimilation. In lyrical, blistering prose, Figueroa recalls a childhood in Ohio in which she was relegated to the background of her mother’s string of failed marriages; her own marriage in her early twenties to a man twice her age; how her work as a licensed massage therapist helped her heal her body trauma; and how becoming a mother has reshaped her relationship to her family and herself. Only as an adult in New Mexico was Figueroa able to forge her own path, using writing to recast her origin story. In a journey that takes her to Puerto Rico and back, Figueroa looks to her ancestors to reimagine her relationship to the past and to her mother’s native island, reaching beyond her own mother into a greater experience of mothering and claiming herself. In stunning prose that draws from Puerto Rican folklore and mythology, a literary lineage of women writers of color, and narratives of identity, Figueroa presents a cultural coming-of-age story. Candid and raw, Mother Island gets to the heart of the question: Who do we become when we are no longer trying to be someone else?
