Audio CDs in MP3 / English: MP3, 64 kb/s (2 ch) | Duration: 08:39:35 | ISBN-10: 1598879413 | 2009 | 237 MB

Genre: Family






Dr. Deborah Tannen, New York Times bestselling author of the blockbuster hits You Just Don’t Understand and You’re Wearing THAT? delivers the last word on sisters.




Communications expert Dr. Deborah Tannen turns her witty and wise eye to sisters as she shares insights, anecdotes, and practical solutions to help us understand the special gifts and strains of sister relationships.




Sisters can be mirrors in which we see ourselves, yardsticks by which we measure our lives―or everything we can’t be, because she got there first. Sisters are inevitably in competition, even as they are fellow travelers on the same road. And how sisters communication―“Sisterspeak”―can be straight talk, close and supportive, or talk that keeps you in your place.




In You Were Always Mom’s Favorite, Tannen helps sisters everywhere translate “Sisterspeak” to navigate one of the most powerful and precious human relationships.

Heaven Is a Beautiful Place: A Memoir of the South Carolina Coast In Conversation with William P. Baldwi




Heaven Is a Beautiful Place: A Memoir of the South Carolina Coast In Conversation with William P. Baldwi by Genevieve C. Peterkin and William P. Baldwin


English | 2015 | ISBN: 1611176026, 1611175232 | 272 pages | PDF | 8 MB




Born in 1928 in the small coastal town of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Genevieve "Sister" Peterkin grew up with World War II bombing practice in her front yard, deep-sea fishing expeditions, and youthful rambles through the lowcountry. She shared her bedroom with a famous ghost and an impatient older sister. But most of all she listened. She absorbed the tales of her talented mother and her beloved friend, listened to the stories of the region"s older residents, some of them former slaves, who were her friends, neighbors, and teachers.


In this new edition she once again shares with readers her insider"s knowledge of the lowcountry plantations, gardens, and beaches that today draw so many visitors. Beneath the humor, hauntings, and treasures of local history, she tells another, deeper story–one that deals with the struggle for racial equality in the South, with the sometimes painful adventures of marriage and parenthood, and with inner struggles for faith and acceptance. This edition includes a new foreword by coastal writer and researcher Lee G. Brockington and a new afterword by coauthor and lowcountry novelist William P. Baldwin.
