Short Stories

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Included in this collection are some stories written more than 20 years ago and some that are fairly recent. Each story tells a different tale; some are humorous, some are witty, some carry a mild streak of pain and some just tell a simple tale with no frills attached. The characters in each story are normal people who lead normal lives, with successes, regrets, triumphs, humiliations, grudges and a little ‘shedding of baggage’ along with a healthy dose of laughter, sorrow and mystery. They make for quick reading on any day, any month of the year. In some stories, the writer pokes fun at herself. In others, she just relates mundane incidents, finding a silver thread of wonder in them. And there are those that you would call yarns – the type that are told around crackling campfires, late in the night under the distant stars.

Elizabeth Taylor

A Shining Legacy on Film

By: Cindy De La Hoz

She was called the most beautiful woman in the world, but Elizabeth Taylor was far more than a pretty face -- she was one of the greatest actresses the movies have ever known. From her first success in National Velvet when she was just 12 years old, to her stunning performances in A Place in the Sun, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Suddenly, Last Summer to her Oscar-winning role in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and beyond -- Elizabeth Taylor showed herself to be a force to be reckoned with. Elizabeth Taylor: Her Place in the Sun is a film retrospective that spans her 70-year career, featuring production histories, "behind-the-scenes" stories, and reviews for each film. Featuring hundreds of rare photos, it's a dazzling tribute to Elizabeth Taylor, the film star.

Beyond Gender Binaries

An Intersectional Orientation to Communication and Identities

By: Cindy L. Griffin

Beyond Gender Binaries uses a feminist, intersectional, and invitational approach to understanding identities and how they relate to communication. Taking readers outside the familiar binary constructions of gender and identity, Cindy L. Griffin addresses—through a feminist intersectional lens—communication, identity, power and privilege, personhood and citizenship, safety in public and private spaces, and hegemony and colonialism. Twelve chapters focus on critical learning through careful exploration of key terms and concepts. Griffin illustrates these with historical and contemporary examples and provides concrete guides to intersectional approaches to communication. This textbook highlights not just the ways individuals, systems, structures, and institutions use communication to privilege particular identities discursively and materially, but also the myriad ways that communication can be used to disrupt privilege and respectfully acknowledge the nonbinary and intersectional nature of every person’s identity. Key features include: Intersectional approaches to explaining and understanding identities and communication are the foundation of each chapter and inform the presentation of information throughout the book. Contemporary and historical examples are included in every chapter, highlighting the intersectional nature of identity and the role of communication in our interactions with other people. Complex and challenging ideas are presented in clear, respectful, and accessible ways throughout the book.

Environmental, Social and Governance and Sustainable Development in Healthcare

By: Tiffany Cheng Han Leung,Wang-Kin Chiu,Cindy Shi-Xiang You,Ben Yuk Fai Fong

This book applies environmental, social and governance (ESG) to issues of sustainable development in healthcare. ESG reporting has been widely used for some time in the business industry to show the economic, social and environmental responsibilities of companies that aim to achieve superior ESG performance for lower risk, more accountability and transparency. Moreover, public-listed companies in healthcare have been growing in significant numbers in recent years. The application or practice of ESG in healthcare has become a growing trend for these large organisations looking to demonstrate their strengths in areas of financing, operations, sustainability and social responsibilities. Such an approach is essential not only for the long-term development of the companies but also for services delivered by healthcare practitioners. Equally, the implications to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 is relevant to healthcare worldwide with a growing ageing population, which has led to a great burden of care in many countries, particularly in the public sector. The potential development and expansion in private healthcare services, accelerated by technology advancement, has demanded a new paradigm in the healthcare industry, particularly in business, service delivery and policy. The book examines this paradigm through health in all policies, ESG and SDG 3 objectives, research, training and practice. It is relevant to graduate students and scholars working in areas relating to health, business and the SDGs and is also useful to policymakers and practitioners in healthcare.

The Women Who Made Early Disneyland

Artists, Entertainers, and Guest Relations

By: Cindy Mediavilla,Kelsey Knox

Although historians have begun to recognize the accomplishments of Disney Studio’s female animators, the women who contributed to the early success of Disneyland remain, for the most part, unacknowledged. Indeed, in celebrating the park’s ten-year anniversary in 1965, Walt Disney thanked “all the boys . . . who’ve been a part of this thing,” even though hundreds of women had also been instrumental in designing, building and operating Disneyland since before its grand opening in July 1955. Seeking to reclaim women’s place in the early history of Disneyland, The Women Who Made Early Disneyland highlights the female Disney employees and contract workers who helped make the park one of the most popular U.S. destinations during its first ten years. Some, like artist Mary Blair, Imagineers Harriet Burns and Alice Davis, “Slue Foot Sue” Betty Taylor, and Disneyland’s first “ambassador,” Julie Reihm, eventually became Disney “legends.” Others remain less well known, including landscape architect Ruth Shellhorn, parade choreographer Miriam Nelson, Aunt Jemima’s Kitchen hostess Alyene Lewis, and Tiny Kline, who at age seventy-one became the first Tinker Bell to fly over Disneyland. This one-of-a-kind book examines the lives and achievements of the women who made early Disneyland.

The Chinese Sisters of the Precious Blood and the Evolution of the Catholic Church

By: Cindy Yik-yi Chu

This book traces the origins of the Chinese Sisters of the Precious Blood in Hong Kong and their history up to the early 1970s, and contributes to the neglected area of Chinese Catholic women in the history of the Chinese Catholic Church. It studies the growth of an indigenous community of Chinese sisters, who acquired a formal status in the local and universal Catholic Church, and the challenge of identifying Chinese Catholic women in studies dealing with the Chinese Church in the first half of the twentieth century, as these women remained "faceless" and "nameless" in contrast to their Catholic male counterparts of the period. Emphasizing the intertwining histories of the Hong Kong Church, the churches in China, and the Roman Catholic Church, it demonstrates how the history of the Precious Blood Congregation throws light on the formation and development of indigenous groups of sisters in contemporary China.

Being BRAVE(TM)

A Journey of Self-Discovery into Leadership

By: Cindy Benning

Do others think you have it all together, while inside you are struggling with the feeling that you will never be good enough? Perhaps you are thriving in some areas but really struggling in others. Do you wonder how it is possible to do so well in one aspect of life but be on a fail loop in another? While our professional and personal lives on the surface may seem separate, the emotions and negative thoughts borne of our life’s experiences and past programming may be calling the shots in both domains, preventing us from unlocking our full potential as leaders—and as human beings. Being BRAVE: A Journey of Self-Discovery into Leadership will help you discover your authentic values and show you how to live them by separating your ego from your true self. You will learn how to recognize the thoughts behind your emotions and determine what is true and what is not. You will learn how to break through the barriers holding you back from being the truest version of yourself and a leader who acts from a place of “being.” Through personal memoir, the author shares her personal and professional experiences over her thirty-year career and the twists and turns of her own journey of self-discovery that led to her developing the BRAVETM leadership model. By applying the five core principles of BRAVETM leadership, you can become the type of leader this world needs: one who is benevolent, respectful, authentic, vulnerable, emotionally conscious—and truly, wholly you.

Faith from a Positive Psychology Perspective

Faith from a Positive Psychology Perspective

By: Cindy Miller-Perrin,Elizabeth Krumrei Mancuso

This book highlights religious faith from a positive psychology perspective, examining the relationship between religious faith and optimal psychological functioning. It takes a perspective of religious diversity that incorporates international and cross-cultural work. The empirical literature on the role of faith and cognition, faith and emotion, and faith and behaviour is addressed including how these topics relate to individuals’ mental health, well-being, strength, and resilience. Information on how these faith concepts are relevant to the broader context of relational functioning in families, friendships, and communities is also incorporated. Psychologists have traditionally focused on the treatment of mental illness from a perspective of repairing damaged habits, damaged drives, damaged childhoods, and damaged brains. In recent years, however, many psychological researchers and practitioners have attempted to re-focus the field away from the study of human weakness and damage toward the promotion of a positive psychology of well-being among individuals, families, and communities. One domain within the field of positive psychology is the study of religious faith as a human strength that has the potential to enhance individuals’ optimal existence and well-being.

Social Roots

Why Social Innovations are Creating the Influence Economy

By: Cindy Gordon,Andrew Weir

Social Roots traces the history of a fundamental economic shift that is underway. The shift is rooted in virtualization, a key innovation factor, but when combined with influence networks, the significance becomes transformative. The combined power of these dimensions is creating a new economic paradigm based on return on collaboration metrics rooted in social capital theory. Inside is the story of the near magical transformation, written specifically so we do not forget the significance of this decade of leadership in the influence economy. Many of the stories in the first part of Social Roots are about organizations that took the opportunity to experiment and experience the power of social networking approaches to conducting business; and social innovators striving to make the world a better place. Their contributions to creating the influence economy are numerous, and their story of how they achieved success creates a tapestry of insight.

Join Evergreen with his great dreams, and how they came to pass, but really not in the way he hoped.

Twitching Tales

Nano Fiction

By: Cindy Pereira

Though the themes in this collection of stories may vary and their style be dissimilar, every single one of them is identical in one aspect. Dabbling for the first time in "Nano Fiction" the author writes complete little plots of adventure, justice, mischief, grief and fear, some humorous and some quite the opposite. The tales are mostly concise, crisp and have strict economy of words - but still complete in every aspect of the plot. These little bits and pieces will hopefully bring a chuckle on even the gloomiest of days, allowing the reader to slip away into a world of fiction, where each story is told in exactly 300 words.

Lost And Found

By: Cindy Pereira

In 'Lost And Found, ' the author allows the protagonist, Doug Geoghegan, a young English lecturer at a junior college in Bangalore, to narrate the story of his life in his own way. He writes about the boyish, and passionate love he had for a girl who never really loved him back, his friends whom he grew up with, his sisters who considered him their father figure, and his grandmother and her battle with Schizophrenia. He sometimes quotes from an old diary of those days of blissful ignorance, jumping forward, and then backward, and then forward again, narrating his memories as they came back to him. 'Lost And Found' is a love story; a story of a young man who narrates his emotional journey back home, back to the woman he could never stop loving. But who is this woman? Is she the one with the red hair and the aqua-blue eyes? Or is she the one who 'laughed with the Gods?' And then, after all the years of separation, does he go back home to her at last?

The Apple And The Worm

In this play written in five acts comprising mostly of verse, a well-loved fairy tale is brought back to life. Though magic is hinted at, it is not made obvious, and though miners come to the aid of a damsel in distress, they are not dwarves. Join Heloise as she becomes obsessed with her own beauty, her step-daughter Marian as she flees from a man who seeks her heart, a band of miners who are 'rough as hard crystal, but diamonds at the core' and their leader Walter who is not really whom he appears to be. And join the Chorus - a group of women, who are a personification of a young maid's thoughts as they set the scene for each act, and prepare the reader for ""Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"" told in an entirely different way.
