Chapter 1: The book starts out as a boy named Brandon describing his mother’s boyfriend, Darrell. Then Brandon, his mother Sophie, and Darrell go to a fancy restaurant where it soon developed how Darrell was abusive to not only Brandon but Sophie as well. It also explained how Sophie’s excessive drinking problem would get her son very worried. The character, Brandon is described to want to run away from the situation that he is usually put in when he is in contact with Darrell. As the chapter goes on, Sophie and Darrell move to Canada so Darrell can get a job working at a factory. Instead of bringing Brandon, the y tell him that he has to stay at his grandparents house until they are situated in their new home but, as time rolls on, Sophie and Darrell never call and Brandon figures that living with his grandparents is going to have to be a “Fresh Start”. Chapter 2: In the next chapter, it is describing Brandon’s life without his mother, Sophie. The chapter introduces Brandon’s two cousins, Mac and Mary. It also includes Brandon’s school life a little bit. From the chapter you can tell that Brandon is trying to forget about his mother leaving him but at the end of the chapter, Brandon sees his mother and wants to, “slap her for what she did”. As well, the story shines a little light on his mother saying that she was a dope addict. Chapter 3: In chapter three, the story starts to pick up. At one point it is Brandon and his uncle Cecil’s birthday fish fry. At the party, Mary says that Brandon’s mother was trash and a whore. After he persisting for a while, him and Mac are in a old Chevy and Mary is in a wagon connected to them and Brandon hits the gas, and Mary goes right into hog manure. At the end of the chapter, Sophie comes to the farm and says that she is fixed and met a man in Canada who wants to get married and she demanded that Brandon come back with her but, Brandon’s grandmother, Nana denied her and slapped her. When it was all said and done, she said she would bring Nana to court to get Brandon back. Chapter 4: In the fourth chapter, Nana Chapter 5: In the Fifth chapter, the “higher-ups” came to the school. It turned out that Senator from the 3rd chapter was one of them. Also, Brandon’s mom showed up at the school trying to get Brandon. As she was just about to, Nana came and made his mom leave. Later in the chapter, Nana and Poppy got a lawyer. At the end of the chapter, Brandon has to go in front of a judge w/ the lawyer and explain what is life was like with his mom and how it differed to life with his grandparents. Chapter 6: In the sixth chapter, it changed my opinion on Brandon’s mother. After going in front of the judge, Brandon was made to meet his mother and a child service administrator at a place of his and his grandmother’s choice (Dairy Queen). Every time they met, his mother would show up drunk or high. It was implied when Brandon thought, “I could faintly smell the scent of Jack Daniels and Listerine.” After a couple of visits, his mother would make excuses on why she was late and I was led to believe that she was getting drunk before she came. Chapter 7: In the seventh chapter, it starts off giving you the clue that Nana and Poppy are taking Brandon farther away from his mother. You really start to understand when they are at a boiled peanut vendor and Brandon starts sweating and acting frantic when a highway patrolman comes. As the chapter goes on, it explains how Brandon, Nana, and Poppy got used to their new lives. Also, Brandon made a friend who he related to in a way that he had never before. Chapter 8: In the eighth chapter, it starts off with Brandon getting a bike when he wakes up on Christmas day. Also, when Nana, Poppy, and him go to Beau’s house, Nana started making Brandon’s plate and asked if he wanted ham, but it was cold and she remembered that he doesn’t like cold ham and Brandon started thinking did his mother even know that. As the chapter goes on, Brandon, Beau, and Josh help out Beau’s Grandmother by helping clean up the used item store that his grandmother owned. They found a hat (that was owned by Beau’s Grandmother who was in the Klu Klutz Klan) and chased Josh around with it. Near the end of the story, they road down to Allen’s, Beau and Josh’s uncle, house and the book finally led the reader to the conclusion that most of the people in Beau’s family is in the KKK. At the end of the chapter, Brandon wakes up to see Nana and Poppy outside talking to a police officer and Brandon is afraid that they are finally found out and they will go to jail. Chapter 9: At the start of the ninth chapter it slowly develops that Johnny, died in a car crash. As it goes on, it tells how Beau’s mother has painkillers near her at all times and how she is bed ridden. Also, in the chapter, it goes on to explain how Beau and Josh treat life without their father. At the end of the chapter, Nana brings the three boys to Nap’s corner, where she and Beau’s mother work. When they get there, a police officer has a conversation with her and just as they are about to leave, the police officer said, “I will be seeing you again.” Chapter 10: In the tenth chapter, Sister Delores helps out Bonita, Josh, and Beau’s life and with coping. When Johnny died Sister Delores (the wife of the cook at Nap’s corner) filled in and did as much possible to help them out. As the chapter goes on, the story explains that Beau resents Sister Delores. Way later in the chapter, as soon as Mama Rose found out that Sister Delores was “friends” with, Beau, Josh, and Bonita, she fainted. When she woke up, she cussed out Sister Bonita. At the end of the chapter, when Sister Delores was driving all the children to their church, Allen’s car went behind then and started revving their engine and when they were next to them, they saw the people with baseball bats yelling obscenities. Chapter 11: In the eleventh chapter, Brandon got baptized at the beginning. When it happened Nana and Poppy stayed in their car to watch, and later Sister Delores asked her if she came. When Nana said she did, Sister Delores said that people go through slumps in their life, and church is a way to get over one slump. Also, the police officer that Bonita and Nana met in the 9th chapter is now dating Bonita and he has affected Beau’s personality. At the end of the chapter, God’s Hospital was destroyed by a fire that Beau, Brandon, and Josh saw at the top of the Ferris wheel at the carnival. Chapter 12: In the twelfth chapter, Brandon believes that Allen burnt God’s Hospital down and Beau doesn’t want to believe him so he starts being a jerk while in denial. Also, Sister Delores gets help on rebuilding the church from other neighboring churches. Later in the chapter, Beau finally got fed up with Brandon saying that Allen burnt down the church so they decide to go to Allen’s house and ask but, if Brandon doesn’t go, because Allen said the next time Brandon sets foot on his property, he would kill him, Beau and Josh would tell Allen Brandon’s thought. As well as Uncle Cecil isn’t answering the calls when Nana and Poppy call him like they do on a regular basis. They start to believe something is wrong because a woman is answering asking who Nana and Poppy are and they came to the conclusion it was a secretary because they take calls. At the end of the chapter Josh broke his leg while he, Beau, and Brandon where at Allen’s house looking for evidence that Allen burnt God’s Hospital. Chapter 13: In the Thirteenth chapter, it was a major part of the story. While Brandon was at a fair downtown he believed that Allen was getting arrested and started to tell Sister Delores. Then, Parker and the other officers went towards Nana. After that, the officers put both Nana and Poppy in the back of the patrol cars. At the end, Brandon was picked up by who was meant to make the reader believe Child Services. Chapter 14: It starts off as Brandon getting out of the car and finally stopping at a house in Raliegh, North Carolina and he told that is a foster house and he will be staying for a while. When he wakes up from his first nights sleep, he sees two twins, a little girl, and a bigger kid hovering over him. When they ask why Brandon was there, he made up a story about how he cut a child's tongue off for making fun of him. Later in the chapter, Nairobi Touchton came by the foster house and shared terrible news that Uncle Cecil was paralized and couldn't help Brandon get out. Also, in the chapter, Sister Delores came by and gave Brandon some of his possestions and talked about how everyone back in Abbeville was praying for him, Nana, and Poppy. After Sister Delores left, Brandon was finished crying but Pete, the bigger kid saw an opportunity to make fun of Brandon and say racial slurs. Soon after, Brandon hit the peak of anger and elbowed Pete in the stomach and punched him in the nose and it started to bleed. As the whole foster family was leaving Miss Madelyn said that she was happy that Brandon was leaving to go back with his mother the next day. Chapter 15: In the beginning of the fifteenth chapter, Brandon is adjusting to a stable life with his mom. At school he stays "as detached as in Miss Madelyn's house". As the chapter goes on, it says at a birthday party for Kane, Brandon's mother's boyfriend, Nairobi and the other government lady came and questioned Brandon's mother on why she hasn't returned their phone calls concerning Brandon seeing Nana and Poppy. Then, Brandon's mother said that her parents were brain washing him and they shouldn't be allowed to see him because of their actions by "stealing" him away from her. Also, at one part of the chapter, Brandon is woken up in the middle of the night by two bottles breaking in the kitchen. When Brandon looks at the kitchen, he thought he saw Jesus Christ and felt the hug of Nana around him but soon Brandon knows it isn't real because when his mother couldn't see it, it gave that away. As time progressed, Kane, Brandon, and Sophie all went to the mall the day after Thanksgiving to pick out Christmas presents. When they are there, Brandon saw Aunt Lorriene and Marry Madonna there and had to hide his face so they wouldn't see him. Chapter 16: In the beginning of the sixteenth chapter, Sophie and Tony are starting to argue. Sophie said that all that Tony and Kane talk about is work and she leaves to go to Cheyenne's house who is assumed to be a drug dealer. How i came to that conclusion was that Kane said that she goes over there to smoke "Wacky Weed". Also, Brandon explained that when she comes back she is laughing all night. Later in the chapter, Brandon asked what prison that Nana and Poppy are in because, he wanted to send them a Christmas letter. As soon as Brandon said that, Sophie flips out and goes into a rage stating how Brandon doesn't love her just like any other man, how she was going to leave, and how Brandon is better off without her in his life. Then, Sophie absolutely changes tunes like she has bipolar disorder, and she comes out of the bathroom she fled to and started dancing with Brandon and laughing. At this point in the book, I can tell that there is absolutely no way that Sophie can get any help so Brandon will probably grow up unlike any other person and be in some way, scarred for life. Chapter 17: In the beginning of the seventeenth chapter, Kane was explaining to Brandon that he was going to propose to Sophie and he even showed him the ring and Brandon was really excited. As the chapter goes on however, Kane got called out to fix the owner of Sears t.v. and it would bring him even more buisness in the future so he had to leave the New Year's party. I'm guessing in spite, Sophie turned out to cheat on Kane with Tony. As soon as Brandon sees this going on, he tries to kick everyone out of the party as fast as possible but, one of the guys picked up Brandon and started spinning him until Kane came back and demanded that he stop. Then, Kane asked where Sophie was, Brandon lied and explained that she was having another really bad head ache and she went to go lay down so he didn't have to check on her. Not listening to Brandon, Kane went back to the bedroom and punched Tony in the mouth and had him running out the duplex in only his underwear. As time goes on, Sophie withdraws from everything including her job and got fired after not going for eighteen days. Then, Sophie transfered back to herself at the begining of the book in the mindset of doing anything and lying to anyone. I can tell at the end of the chapter, that Brandon is very upset and resents his mother more than ever. Chapter 18: In the eighteenth chapter, Brandon's mom goes off the handle. When she was picking Brandon up late, Brandon said that she lies all the time and probably lied about why she was late. Also, He found a letter from Nairobi at Child Services which said that she couldn't hold Brandon away from seeing Nana and Poppy. Once Sophie, Brandon's mother, was confronted about the letter, she attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the top of the bleachers. By my assumption, she broke her leg. When Brandon went to try and help his mom, she went into deep detail on Brandon's father and why she was kicked out of Nana and Poppy's house. At this point, I'm just waiting for another sin to go in the story. Chapter 19: In the nineteenth chapter, Sophie tries to straighten up her life the wrong way. Once Tony got arrested, she started saying that she needed to make "her own destiny". The way she went about doing this however was wrong. She started stealing from Piggly Wiggly's, and Brandon didn't like it at all because of what he thought that Jesus would think. At one point in the story, Nairobi called and Brandon talked to her hesitantly about Nana and Poppy before hanging up. At the very end, Sophie got arrested for trying to steal a necklace so she could pawn it to get Brandon a trampoline. Chapter 20: At the beginning of this chapter, Brandon is in the Police Station being interrogated by two police officers. Once they come to the conclusion that he won't talk, the two police officers and a government woman bring him to a place where is lead for me to believe a "special hospital" where they help feeble minded. Once Brandon knows what the place is, he freaks out and passes out after being injected with something to make his body go limp. After about three days of Brandon being there, Sophie finally gave away his information and Nairobi came to tell him that he would be staying with Mrs. Strickland, the senator who met Brandon earlier in the story. Once he is sent to her house, she introduces him as her "new son" to everyone she knew.

It took me much longer than usual to finish this book. Initially, I thought the slow going was due to the fact that it's non-fiction and I'm a bit of a fiction addict. Still, that didn't quite explain it because it was easy and fascinating reading. I finally decided it was the subject matter that made me reticent to cuddle up with the book and read for hours on end. Nine Parts of Desire is about what it means to be a woman in the Muslim world. I felt Geraldine Brooks did an amazing job writing (as always) and I appreciate that she included so many scriptures from the Koran as well as other Islamic anecdotes that explain why certain traditions have developed over the generations. I learned so much from this book about the history and culture(s) of Islam, the history of the Middle East and the situations Islamic women face. The book is a bit dated, given how quickly things in the middle east change (or maybe it's not dated at all because things stay the same there for generations) but I still found it quite valuable. However, one thought kept coming into my mind over and over again as I read it: How accurate is her portrayal? Yes, she spent years and years there, and yes, she seems quite open minded and willing to look for the good wherever it might be found. But can she, a white Judeo-Christian woman, really give readers an accurate picture? The truths she reveals, are these the truths as viewed by Islamic women? I found myself wanting to read a book written by an Islamic woman to see how her thoughts compared with Brooks. Fortunately, at the end of Nine Parts, Brooks includes a very comprehensive bibliography for those (like me) who wish to read more. Several of the books listed are authored by Islamic women.

Follows the sames style of the other books, a little frustrating at times. I would like the story to move a long a bit more before I have to go to the next book. Overall though, still enjoying the series. Excited for the next one to be released in May. Hopefully it doesn't leave me hanging again!! :)

I've lost count of the number of times I've read this book. It's frightening, exciting, depressing and hopeful all at the same time. There's always something to take from the story, in fact it gets better on every subsequent reading. The characters of Winston Smith and Big Brother are now legendary - if you haven't read it before, do so now; if you have, read it again soon!

When Pope John Paul died on the Saturday before Divine Mercy Sunday, I was sadden that he didn't have Mass for one of his favorite feasts, so I was very happy to learn that Cardinal Dziwisz started saying the Vigil for him before he died. :) I also like hearing about how he would sneak out to go skiing or he would jump from moving cars to escape spies. Pope on a mission, indeed.

Un not look-at-able. If you poured through image collections (as apparently Tibor did) looking for photos of the outlandish and bold things people put on their bodies, and then arranged these exquisitely, precisely, rigorously -- this is what you'd get: a weird gem. An urge to gawk. That queasy thrill of a 101 survey class, that isn't untrue, but just somehow unjustly abridged.
