The Valley Where the Grass Grows Green

Written by an experienced oncology nurse for cancer patients, families, and caregivers, The Valley Where the Grass Grows Green abounds with hope and encouragement while containing a wealth of practical medical information. The text is presented in two distinct but related parts; both sections are invaluable and can stand alone. Part I is a motivational, uplifting view of the human aspect of cancer, stressing the intrinsic worth of people in every phase of their lives. Its spiritual profundity is enriching for all cultures and philosophies. Part II gives a comprehensible overview of cancer, then walks the reader through the chemotherapy experience. Medical terms and concepts are explained, and indepth suggestions for preventing or coping with side effect are presented. This book is a must for the cancer community and is highly recommended for nursing and medical students, hospice families, support groups, seasoned health professionals, and introspective readers. In addition to the obvious benefits derived from the specialized health information in The Valley Where the Grass Grows Green, the book's joyful message of hope and purpose can contribute to the healing process. Science and healthcare professionals are increasingly recognizing the therapeutic value of spirituality as an adjunct to medicine in physical ailments. Replete with imagery and in an almost poetic style, the optimism that is imparted throughout this book is made credible by its realistic and informative approach. The book is designed to be short, with very short chapters, so as to appeal more readily to a wide audience in varying health circumstances, and it can be read repeatedly with new delight and insights each me. It is a perfect gift for anyone, whether touched by cancer or not. It is even a perfect gift to give yourself for a transforming, edifying, and expanding experience, a source of health information, spiritual enrichment, or simple enjoyment.

Licking Fingerprints

A Collection of One-Sided Conversations

Licking Fingerprints is a recording of chewed thoughts, labyrinthine emotions, and latent disturbances in the form of prose and blank verse poetry. It portrays the intrapersonal conflicts of a woman, raised Muslim, to a Malaysian father and a Korean, previously Christian, mother. She immigrates to the United States, four years after 9/11. Struggling to retain her authenticity, she attempts to balance the need for individualism and the need for conformity in order to sustain her new life in the States. In the context of Malay-Muslim culture, the piece depicts the almost excessive integration of religion into the culture of Malaysian society itself. On the topic of Islam, the piece elaborates on the religion's spectrum of application and its implications. Other subjects within the book include bi-culturalism, religious dysphoria, cultural relativism, rosy retrospection, and ethical subjectivism. Overall, Licking Fingerprints tackles the cancer that torments us all- change.
