Produktbeschreibung

The Fifth Commandment: Honor thy father and thy mother. But what if thy father and thy mother didn't garner thy honor? WALK AWAY! That's what this author did to end her ongoing war with her relentlessly critical mother and emotionally vacant father. "Jenna" (author), a descendant of the Grand Rebbe of Belz (Poland), grew up in a community of Orthodox Jews who self-righteously monitored each other to guaranty nobody broke with tradition. Damaged by her mother's manipulative guilt trips and relentless verbal abuse, Jenna challenged her own hypocritical fakery when she married a man whose view of life was not skewed by a filter of religious indoctrination. With his support, Jenna discovered her own beliefs, and the further away from her family's emotional reach, the more Jenna accomplished creatively and professionally. With extensive and extraordinary public recognition and validation, after twenty years of estrangement, Jenna reconnected with her family. But, as her new relationship with her mother evolved, fate took a hand to give her story an unexpected turn.

Autorenporträt

Dena Stewart is a self-taught visionary artist who picked up a paintbrush for the first time shortly after she turned thirty. Her colorful canvases express her life experiences, dreams and beliefs. One of her early works, "Christmas Tree in the City" was part of the 1982, '83, '84 and '89 UNICEF Greeting Card Collection, with more than three million "Christmas Tree in the City" cards sold world-wide. Ms. Stewart served as an Honorary Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF in 1989.
Born in Manhattan, Dena graduated from Pace University with a degree in business education. Before becoming a professional artist, she taught High School in New York, was an editor for a large textbook publishing company, and personnel manager for a national department stores chain.
Along with her husband, artist Stewart Stewart, Dena relocated from NYC to Miami Beach, FL in 1987. Together, they founded Center for Folk and Community Art (CFCA), a non-profit organization with a mission to use visual art as a tool of intervention, prevention and education. Her nationally acclaimed Telling Stories Through Visuals curriculum was selected by the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities as a model outreach program. Telling Stories Through Visuals is a Lesson Card in the SRA/McGraw-Hill reading and language arts program Imagine it!, a comprehensive literacy tool used in schools in more than 50 countries around the world.
Dena was honored by the Miami Beach Commission on the Status of Women as a "Woman Worth Knowing". In appreciation for her civic involvement, Ms. Stewart received a dozen Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County Proclamations, as well as the Key to the City of Miami Beach.
In addition to facilitating programs to address social issues, Dena and Stewart co-host Alive on South Beach, an entertaining online video show for SyndicatedNews.Net (SNN.BZ).
