Book excerpt: Heather Marie Fry was pretty, vivacious, popular, smart, and witty. Everybody in town knew her and loved her. She was the pride of her teachers and as loving and kind as she was talented. But she was starting to get headaches, and they were rapidly growing worse. When her mother took her to the doctor, she was told that Heather was fine, but Heather's health continued to deteriorate. Finally, they found someone who had the answer. Heather had a brain tumor. It was inoperable. Heather was twelve at the time. The doctors found the answer but not a solution. The best they could do was keep Heather as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. Family and friends rallied around Heather and Debra for support.Paint Me Black All Over is the story of a mother's quest to find the best help possible for her ill daughter and her struggle to keep her family together. Debra Tolar recounts the last year in the life of her daughter, Heather; the multiple bouts of radiation and chemotherapy; and all the pain and sorrow that went along with it. But amidst all the sorrow, Debra also relates a message of hope and joy, of the friends and support she found, and of the never-ending strength of her daughter. Paint Me Black All Over is a heart-wrenching account of childhood cancer that will inspire others in similar situations to never give up the fight.

Sent south to escape the threat from Japanese fighters during World War II, Claire later returned to Croker Island and married. Inspired by others, Claire traced her Aboriginal family, however; she was never to meet her mother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spoken on Mavea Island by approximately 32 people, Mavea is an endangered Oceanic language of Vanuatu. This work provides grammatical descriptions of this hitherto undescribed language. Fourteen chapters, containing more than 1,400 examples, cover topics in the phonology and morphosyntax of Mavea, with an emphasis on the latter. Of particular interest are examples of individual speaker variation presented throughout the grammar; the presence of three linguo-labials (still used today by a single speaker) that were unexpectedly found before the rounded vowel /o/; and a chapter on numerals and the counting system, which have long been replaced by Bislama’s but are remembered by a handful of speakers. Most of the grammatical descriptions derive from a corpus of texts of various genres (conversations, traditional stories, personal histories, etc.) gathered during the author’s fieldwork, conducted for eleven months between 2005 and 2007.

Book excerpt: These poems are of us. They are the things we see, day-in, day-out. The common and the not so common. The good and the bad. The perfect and the flawed. They are the things we all think about, ideas and experiences gnawing in the back of our brains. But more importantly, these poems are the things we sometimes wish we could share, wish we could question, but over which, for some reason, we remain silent.
