A Memoir

In the early seventies, some of us were shot like stars from our parents' homes. This was an act of nature, bigger than ourselves. In the austere beauty and natural reality of Hell's Canyon of Eastern Oregon, one hundred miles from pavement, Pam, unable to identify with her parent's world and looking for deeper pathways has a chance encounter with returning Vietnam warrior Skip Royes. Skip, looking for a bridge from survival back to connection, introduces Pam to the vanishing culture of the wandering shepherd and together they embark on a four–year sojourn into the wilderness. From the back of a horse, Pam leads her packstring of readers from overlook to water crossing, down trails two thousand years old, and from the vantages she chooses for us, we feel the edges of our own experiences. It is a memoir of falling in love with a place and a man and the price extracted for that love. Written with deep lyricism, Temperance Creek is a work of haunting beauty, fresh and irreverent and rooted in the grit and pleasure of daily life. This is Pam's story, but the courage and truth in the telling is part of our human experience. Seen through a slower more primary mirror, one not so crowded with objectivity, Pam's memoir, is a kind of home–coming, a family reunion for shooting stars.

Love, Pamela

Love, Pamela

By: Pamela Anderson

Loin de son image de pin-up, Pamela raconte son histoire, celle d’un esprit libre qui rentre à la maison et se redécouvre à chaque tournant. Avec une prose vivante entrecoupée de poèmes, Pamela se confie sur les moments les plus extraordinaires et aussi les plus éprouvants de son incroyable histoire. Pamela Anderson, la naïade de la série TV Alerte à Malibu, était omniprésente dans les années 1990. Originaire de Vancouver, au Canada, Pamela a vécu une enfance difficile, durant laquelle elle a développé son amour profond pour la nature, peuplant son monde des animaux blessés du coin. En surmontant sa timidité naturelle et grâce à une imagination débordante, Pamela s’est finalement propulsée dans une vie de rêve, des plages de Malibu à la scène du Playboy Mansion. Au fur et à mesure que sa célébrité grandissait, elle s’est retrouvée dans les pages des tabloïds, à l’apogée d’une époque où les tactiques des paparazzi s’apparentaient à une véritable traque. « J’ai tendance à voir des diamants dans les morceaux de charbon de l’or dans le nickel. Je suis une alchimiste à attirer ces personnages fantastiques qui me détruisent systématiquement. »

Caroline Cooney

Faith and Fiction

By: Pamela S. Carroll

Cooney's large body of work for adolescents defies easy classification. She has written award-winning adventure, suspense, romance, family, mystery, and historical fiction, as well as action-driven horror stories and a time-travel trilogy. Her purpose in some books, most notably horror like The Perfume, is just to encourage reluctant readers to enjoy literature. However, in her most serious and artistic books, Cooney relies on a source that is likely to surprise her readers: biblical stories and parables. For example, readers can find the seed of the idea that eventually became Whatever Happened to Janie in the story of King Solomon's wisdom when he was asked to decide which of two women, both of whom claimed to be mother of an infant, should be recognized as the true mother. The parable of the Good Samaritan provides a backdrop in several of Cooney's most successful novels. Cooney's understated use of biblical stories, and the way her Christian faith subtly informs her fiction, are explored in the book. The organization of the text reflects Cooney's major fiction categories: the "Janie" mysteries, romances, catastrophe novels, horror and suspense novels, the time travel trilogy, and her historical fiction. Representative books are discussed in detail within each chapter. Although most of the text is devoted to critical analysis of her literary work, and of the intersection of fiction and faith in her novels, Cooney's biography is also presented within the frame of her life as a single mother of grown children. The influences of her talents as an organist who played regularly for her church, the lessons she has learned from her children when they were teenagers, and life experiences that have led her to consider issues of race and gender, are examples of issues that are discussed. For children's and YA libraries and students of children's literature.

For Glory and Bolívar

The Remarkable Life of Manuela Sáenz

By: Pamela S. Murray

She was a friend, lover, and confidante of charismatic Spanish American independence hero Simón Bolívar and, after her death, a nationalist icon in her own right. Yet authors generally have chosen either to romanticize Manuela Sáenz or to discount her altogether. ... [author], for the first time, closely examines Sáenz's political trajectory including her vital, often-overlooked years in exhile. [author] exposes the myths that still surround her and offers, in short, a nuanced and much-needed historical perspective, one that balances recognition of Sáenz's uniqueness with awareness of the broader forces that shaped this dynamic nineteenth-century woman"--Book jacket.
