Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The coin lost in the river is found in the river.-Zen kōan In The Lost Coin, Stephen Rowley shares his lifelong journey-searching for his birth parents, seeking his true identity, and discovering his soul's calling. We join him when, as a boy growing up in Iowa, he visits Chicago for the first time and is shocked by blatant racial segregation and sprawling urban poverty. We see Stephen as a young athlete sustaining a life-changing injury, then becoming radicalized at the University of Wisconsin, entering the field of education at Stanford, and becoming a visionary school administrator before being fired by a vindictive Silicon Valley school board. He plays golf with a Tibetan lama, and experiences transcendence in a vivid dream, ultimately becoming a psychotherapist in his sixties. We witness the heart-rending scene when he and his wife adopt their own son, and we join him for a poignant reunion with his birth mother, who, it turns out, had desperately hoped he might appear in her life after she'd given him up for adoption. As we accompany Stephen Rowley on this adventurous and reflective journey, we come to understand more deeply the trauma engendered when separating mother from child, and the unspoken restlessness and yearning for connection many adoptees feel. It is my hope, he writes, that we all may discover the unique capacity within us to heal and even thrive, not in spite of the wounds we carry, but because of them.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This collection of short stories focuses on the lives of ordinary working-class people from Northern Ireland. It is set against the backdrop of the 'Troubles' and the province's more recent history. Strong female characters often carry the narrative, and the story which gives its title to the collection is that of a Catholic woman from the South who marries a staunch Northern Protestant, and they settle in Belfast. The strife which ensues reflects the divided communities which the rest of the book can testify to. In their depiction of everyday violence and intimidation, the stories bring to light more latent themes of homosexuality, sexism, and prejudice. A strong focus on family bonds means that the collection provokes a profound resonance with a large number of us who have grown up in tight family circles. In many ways, the 'Troubles' serve to underline the tensions inherent in these bonds. This collection of short stories focuses on the lives of ordinary working-class people from Northern Ireland. It is set against the backdrop of the Troubles and the provinces more recent history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
