Mandi Fugate Sheffel was born in the heart of rural small-town America, in a place where "wild teaberry grows," with creeks "as clear and cold as nature would allow."

As the pair grew up together, they sought a sense of belonging, and drugs and alcohol provided a temporary escape from the harsh realities of their lives. Everything shifted when Purdue Pharma launched aggressive marketing campaigns for OxyContin in central Appalachia.

هذا الكتاب تنقيبٌ عن مناطق غير مألوفة في عقل أم كلثوم الناقد والمبتكر، وفي النص الشعري الذي غنّته على امتداد عمرها في الغناء. وهو كشفٌ عن قدرتها على الانتقاء والاختيار والتأليف، وعن طبيعة النصوص التي قدّمتها بوعي ورؤية واقتدار. تقول عن كاتبها المفضل: "الكاتب المفضل عندي هو طه حسين. فكتاباته فيها رقة الشعر وموسيقاه. وكلما قرأت كتابه "الأيام" أحسست أني أمام شاعر حساس موهوب؛ كلماته غنية بالأنغام؛ غنية بالأصالة الشعرية. وهو في حقيقته مجموعة من القصائد الجميلة البديعة. طه حسين هو الكاتب الشاعر". ويقول طه حسين عنها "أسهمت أم كلثوم عندما غنّت القصيدة في إثبات جمال العربية وطواعية موسيقاها، حتى في أصعب الكلمات لموسيقى الغناء. كان لصوتها فضل في انتشار الشعر العربي على ألسنة العامة والخاصة".

Vierzig Jahre fehlen zwischen Mutter und Tochter. Ein Leben, das niemand erklärt hat. Und eine Tochter, die erst spät begreift, dass man auch ohne Vergangenheit bleiben kann.
