Her new husband, Trent Matthews, knows she is hiding shocking secrets from her past, and is greatly concerned now that she is pregnant with their first biological child.

Catherine, the only doctor in the small town of Rosenberg, hires a French couple to assist in caring for her family. But all is not as it should be. Without warning, two trusted friends turn their backs on Catherine's family and even her husband cannot protect her from these unscrupulous people. Three months after their son is born, a tragedy surfaces when he is taken during the night while she and Trent are celebrating their first wedding anniversary in Galveston. As Trent joins forces with the Texas Rangers in the pursuit of their son, it cracks open a vast baby-selling scheme that will impact the lives of many people. Catherine's faith is sorely tested. Will she find her baby? Alive?. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Paperback. Jacket: No Jacket as Issued

Women of Color: Mother-Daughter Relationships in 20th-Century Literature

Imprint: Austin, Texas, University of Texas Press, 1996
Edition: First Edition
Binding: Hardback

8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. BI5 - Stated first edition with no additional printings indicated. An unread, tight, clean, sound copy in red-brown cloth covered boards with black lettering and a graphic on the spine with only very, very slight overall shelf wear. With an introduction by the editor. A collection of essays that examine the mother-daughter relationship as it appears in the writings of African, African-American, Asian-American, Mexican-American, Native American, South Asian, and Australian Aboriginal women writers. The writers discusssed include Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Maxine Hong Kingston, Cherríe Moraga, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Amy Tan. The essayists examine the myths and reality surrounding the mother-daughter relationship in these writers' works and how women writers of color often portray the mother-daughter dyad as a love/hate relationship, in which the mother painstakingly tries to convey knowledge of how to survive in a racist, sexist, and classist world while the daughter rejects her mother's experiences as invalid in changing social times. The articles include "The Problems of Reading: Mother-Daughter Relationships and Indian Postcoloniality" by Radhika Mohanram, "A Continuum of Pain: A Woman's Legacy in Alice Walker's 'Possessing the Secret of Joy'" by Kimberly Joyce Pollock, "'I was cryin', all the people were cryin', my mother was cryin'": Aboriginality and Maternity in Sally Morgan's 'My Place'" by Joyce Zonana, "'My mother is here'": Buchi Emecheta's Love Child" by Patricia Lee Yongue, "(Re)claiming the Race of the Mother: Cherrí Moraga's 'Shadow of a Man,' 'Giving Up the Ghost,' and 'Heroes and Saints'" by Julia De Foor Jay, "The Poetics of Matrilineage: Mothers and Daughters in the Poetry of African American Women, 1965-1985" by Fabian Clements Worsham, "The Mother as Other: Orientalism in Maxine HOng Kingston's 'The Woman Warrior'" by Sheryl A. Mylan, "Love and Conflict: Mexican American Women Writers as Daughters" by Maria Gonzalez, "Mother-Daughter Relationships as Epistemological Structures: Leslie Marmon Silko's 'Almanac of the Dead' and 'Storyteller'" by Charlene Taylor Evans, "Disrupted Motherlines: Mothers and Daughters in a Genderized, Sexualized, and Racialized World" by Elizabeth Brown-Guillory, "Voice, Mind, Self: Mother Daughter Relationships in Amy Tan's 'The Joy Luck Club' and 'The Kitchen God's Wife'" by M.
