Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Set mid-to-late 20th century (with the heart of the book set in the 1950s and '60s), MY FATHER'S EYES is a loving daughter's memoir of a family coming to terms with a legacy of blindness, and a father's heroic efforts to secure independence and dignity."Not many pages into this gloriously moving book, a feeling begins to grow that it would have been a humbling yet exquisite experience to have sat and talked with Biagio John Bonina. What his daughter Mary Bonina has given us is a solid and lasting portrait of a man who was simple and complicated. (That is not a contradiction once you come to know him.)... America is a country of grand men and women who live on a modest scale, and no one fits that category more than he does. Once his eyes began to fail him, he lived even more for his family and its welfare and his efforts and work make him in my mind, the kind of real hero we fail to glorify anymore. So enter this book and come to know her father and his dedicated overwhelmingly loyal daughter, as well as a large stage of family members and friends who are unforgettable and insanely knowable and human."Edward P. Jones"Mary Bonina casts her considerable spell with exquisite sentences and unerring evocative details. She is a writer of inordinate compassion, formidable intelligence, and unflinching honesty. MY FATHER'S EYES documents a family's coming to grips with the legacy of blindness, a daughter's unflagging allegiance to her father, and one man's heroic determination to live a life of independence and quiet dignity despite obstacles that would crush the strongest of us. The book is an inspiration. When I finished reading it, I walked around for days seeing the world through its lens. Yes, it's that good. It's that important."John Dufresne"Packard. Record player. Telephone party line. Fallout shelter. Holy Ghost. These and other blasts from the past make up the world of this beautiful, clear-eyed memoir that reads like a novel. It's partly the story of a girl who loved words on her way to becoming a writer. Of all the words in her universe, the most important were eyes and seeing, for this was a girl growing up with a beloved father going blind. Becoming his guide and his eyes, she becomes herself. And what a character he is! We come to know him as if we're all his children, one minute consumed with terror at the dangers he faces, and the next minute awed by his courage, and the next exasperated by his human flaws. And ultimately, we see and feel for ourselves what his daughter means when she says, 'I know about love from being my father's eyes.'"Ellen Cooney Goldie TaylorThe Search for My Fathers Killer - The After my father was murdered in 1973 I spent decades looking for the man who killed him What I found changed everything Id believed about him and the Daughter of man gunned down in Facebook video: 'I saw the A daughter of the man whose killing was recorded and posted on Facebook Sunday told ABC News in an emotional interview that the video "forever will be in With My Eyes Wide Open - Thomas Nelson [Note: This book was provided free of charge by BookLook Bloggers/Thomas Nelson Publishing in exchange for an honest review] While reading "With My Eyes Wide Open Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice -- Index of Characters Go to end of list Go to chronology Go to topics list Go to Pride&Prej motifs Go to place list/map Go to table of contents Brief Organized Listing of Characters Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness Survival and My Written in the vein of THE GLASS CASTLE BREAKING NIGHT is the stunning memoir of a young woman who was born to loving but drug-addicted parents Taunted for her My Dad Was James Brown I Saw Him Beat My Mom - Vulture An excerpt from Yamma Brown's memoir Cold Sweat The author taking after her father's style Photo: Courtesy of Chicago Review Press The Pianist - Wladyslaw Szpilman - Homepage LIBRARY JOURNAL - Best Books of 1999 WLADYSLAW SZPILMAN WINS ANNUAL JEWISH QUARTERLY-WINGATE NON FICTION PRIZE 2000 London - 3rd May 2000 - The judges of the Rob Lowe on sending his son off to college: An excerpt The death of my mother was one time but her passing was prolonged enough to let me prepare for it to the extent anyone can At the most intense moment A Pacemaker Wrecks a Family's Life - The New York Times As we shuffled through the fallen leaves that day I thought of my fathers father Ernest Butler He was 79 when he died in 1965 before pacemakers 3 Rules to Write World-Changing Memoir - The Write Practice PRACTICE Its time for you to write your memoir Now that you know good narrative nonfiction is about more than where you were or what you were doing you must
