‎Pipher Mary‎

‎The Shelter of Each Other: Rebuilding Our Families‎

‎Putnam Pub Group 1996. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine copy. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 283 pages. Synopsis: Our country is in a profound crisis of decency of civility of character. Our best instincts are undermined at every turn. And our families to which we turn in crisis are feeling the strain with great intensity. Mary Pipher understands this. She is a good listener perhaps the best listener in America. And what she understands she can express in a manner that goes directly to the heart. Writing from her immersion in her community and from her experience as a therapist Pipher has found words to express our innermost feelings. Families today are experiencing a new set of realities. Working parents are harried tired and overextended. They are unable to protect their children from the enemy within the inappropriate television they watch for hours the computer games that keep them from playing outside the virtual reality they tune in to when they should be learning about the real world. And so Pipher says we have houses without walls. Compounding this is the fact that our psychological theories don't work anymore because they were developed decades ago when families were tightly knit relatively monolithic institutions. Pipher argues that Freud is of little help in our violent sexually explicit MTV world. Diagnosing the problem is the first step to curing it but in addition Pipher offers ideas for simple actions we can all take to help rebuild our families and strengthen our communities. Annotation Families the bedrock of our society and culture are today under assault from every side. Parents struggling under their own pressures and unmet needs don't know how to protect their children from crime poverty abuse and media violence. In The Shelter of Each Other the author of Reviving Ophelia wisely and compassionately challenges readers to find the courage to nurture and revivify the families they cherish.

‎Miller Sue‎

‎The Senator's Wife‎

‎Alfred a Knopf Inc 2008. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. 306 pages. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. In her seven previous novels Sue Miller has demonstrated the distinction between being a dependable storyteller and a predictable one. The Senator's Wife provides further affirmation that she belongs in the former category a lyrical writer who consistently delivers page-turning domestic dramas that unfold quiet surprises as she peels back the layers of artifice and reserve that shield her complex middle-class women. Synopsis Meri is newly married pregnant and standing on the cusp of her life as a wife and mother recognizing with some terror the gap between reality and expectation. Delia wife of the two-term liberal senator Tom Naughton is Meri's new neighbor in the adjacent New England town house. Tom's chronic infidelity has been an open secret in Washington circles but despite the complexity of their relationship the bond between them remains strong. Soon Delia and Meri find themselves leading strangely parallel lives as they both reckon with the contours and mysteries of marriage: one refined and abraded by years of complicated intimacy the other barely begun. With precision and a rich vitality Sue Miller beloved and bestselling author of While I Was Gone brings us a highly charged superlative novel about marriage and forgiveness. The New York Times - Judith Warner I won't reveal how the final betrayal occurs but will just say that in this particular moment Miller plays her hand in a masterly fashion. Shock deceit desire and despair come together at once in a way that feels simply like fate. In that remarkable bit of novelistic choreography I saw in Miller what her fans have always seen: a clever storyteller with a penchant for the unexpected and a talent for depicting the bizarre borderline acts the unfortunate boundary crossings and the regrettable instances of excessive self-indulgence that can destroy a world in a blink. Biography: Sue Miller is an expert in limning the pain of endings but if this were the extent of her talents she probably would not be as successful as she is. In Miller's books one broken relationship often leads to the development of another. Her stories may not offer pat answers and perfect love stories but readers find something more rewarding in the end. Alfred a Knopf Inc Hardcover‎

From the bestselling author of Maneater comes The Starter Wife a sexy savvy and wickedly funny novel about life after divorce and one woman redefining herself after years of marriage to a Hollywood studio head. When her husband Kenny dumps her by cell phone mere months before their ten-year wedding anniversary Gracie Pollock finds herself reeling. Though her nine-year role as the wife of a semifamous Hollywood studio executive often left her dry and she never fully embraced the "status" according to Kenny Gracie has grown accustomed to the unique privileges afforded by Tinseltown's brand of power and wealth: reservations at Spago on a Friday night; beauty treatments by dermatologists Arnie manicurists Jessica and colorists Cristophe to the stars; line-jumping at Disneyland with her daughter and Ugg-wearing celebrity offspring. And despite the fact she had consented to name their daughter Jaden in a failed attempt to lure Will Smith to one of Kenny's productions Gracie believed she and Kenny were different from other Hollywood couples. She never thought she'd be a starter wife. But now that her marriage is over her phone isn't ringing her mailbox is empty and it's only through a faux pas by her world-class florist that she learns her husband has upgraded: Kenny is dating a pop tartlet. With images of Kenny's 'tween queen everywhere she turns Gracie seeks refuge at her best friend's Malibu mansion for some much-needed divorce therapy. Soon she's associating with all the wrong people including a mysterious hunk who saves her from drowning the security guard at her gated community and -- God forbid -- Kenny's boss one of Hollywood's better-known Lotharios. With her signature wit sassy style and cameos of the rich and famous -- and wannabe rich and famous -- Gigi Grazer tackles the most delicious and dastardly details of a divorce and recovery Hollywood style.

NO writing marks or tears inside book. Covers show light wear NO tears. 307 pages. Previous owner's name label small in book front Sandra L. Riegler - Orland Park Illinois. Synopsis: Set against the taut yet passionate landscape of the dry heat of Mirage Arizona Summer of Rescue illuminates the stunning often ambiguous emotions of a woman coming to terms with her life. For Clare Nichols wife and mother the summer of her fortieth year is a time of reminiscences and regrets a time to reconsider the past and to contemplate the possibilities of a new beginning. As Clare finds herself tempted by the romantic entreaties of a younger man enviously watches her daughter become a woman and confronts the memories of the tragic death of her son many years before Nelson transforms the common events of life into a novel of uncommon grace and power. Annotation: In the summer of her 40th year Claire finds herself tempted by the romantic entreaties of a younger man attempting to guide her daughter toward adulthood and confronting the memories of the death of her son so many years before. Publishers Weekly: The drowning death of five-year-old Michael Nichols in a Minnesota lake is at the heart of this quietly affecting first novel. Eleven years later his parents Clare and Paul and their surviving child Jeanine now 15 have moved to Arizona where Clare is still trying to recover from the tragedy. Nelson seamlessly spins the complicated relationships of Clare's life: with Paul whose love she tests for the first time with another man; with Jeanine whose first skirmishes with sex stir up a conflict for Clare between parental disapproval and reminders of her own lively sexuality; and with her parents back in Minnesota whom she will visit for the first time in nine years this summer. Her father's unopened letters and memories of Michael's death create the growing tension as the visit nears finally bringing about a catharsis. Nelson has an inspired ability to reveal the magic in mundane moments and she manages to wring drama from a refreshingly functional family. If anything the novel's failing is that it so thoroughly records Clare's average American existence that there is much dull routine amidst the unique wonder. Still the authenticity of Nelson's voice and the delicate precision with which she wields her powers of observation make this a promising debut. Simon & Schuster Paperback‎

‎Cleopatra's Nose: 39 Varieties of Desire‎

‎Farrar Straus & Giroux 2007. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price insid edustcover: $27.95. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears. 429 pages. "Men and women suffer from grandiosity in different ways. Men tend toward fantasies of omnipotence women of uniqueness" Judith Thurman posited in a 2002 essay on Catherine Millet. This latter claim -- that womanhood is somehow allied with the pursuit of singularity -- lies at the center of Thurman's new essay collection Cleopatra's Nose: 39 Varieties of Desire an insightful composite of two decades worth of her writings for The New Yorker. Impressive in their range yet grounded in a common sensibility the essays of Cleopatra's Nose taken together represent a cultural history of extravagance at the turn of the millennium from its fashion icons Balenciaga Armani to its fads artisanal tofu exercise bulimia. The collection occasionally loses sight of its overarching conceit proving stronger when it remains in the world of couture than when it ventures into literary criticism but these conceptual detours rarely detract from Thurman's authority as an arbiter of culture. She has a knack for describing textures -- those of both fabrics and lives -- in a way that captures the longing and indeed the variousness of our collective desires. --Amelia Atlas Synopsis: Cleopatra's Nose is an exuberant gathering of essays and profiles representing twenty years of Judith Thurman's celebrated writing particularly her fascination with human vanity femininity and women's work - from haute couture to literature to commanding empires. The subjects are iconic Jackie the Bront�s Toni Morrison Anne Frank and multifarious tofu and performance art pornography and platform shoes kimonos and bulimia; all inspire dazzling displays of craft wit penetration and intelligence. Here we find explorations of voracity: hunger for sex food experience and transcendence; see how writers from Flaubert to Nadine Gordimer have engaged with history; meet eminent Victorians and the greats of fashion. Whether reporting on hairstyles strolling the halls of power or deftly unpacking novels and their writers Thurman never fails to provoke inspire captivate and enlighten. Cleopatra's Nose is an embarrassment of riches from one of our great literary journalists. The New York Times - Kathryn Harrison The essays collected in Cleopatra's Nose whose 39 subjects Thurman classifies as "varieties of desire" are their author's attempts "through a feat of style" to "prove my existence to intelligent skeptics none more skeptical than I am." As readers of Thurman's much-praised biographies of Isak Dinesen and Colette might guess she has succeeded. Blessed with intellectual curiosity a sharp wit and an unwillingness to receive opinions Judith Thurman seems unlikely to produce anything less than a feat of style. Not all of these essays published with the exception of one by The New Yorker between 1987 and 2007 are long consequential or fully realized a few shorter and less incisive can fairly be called musings but as a collection of cultural criticism they are plenty good enough to preserve for posterity: they make an excellent book Lesser critics do postmortems; Thurman is a master of vivisection. When she's done with a subject it's still living mystery intact. Biography Judith Thurman is the author of Isak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller winner of the National Book Award and Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette. A staff writer at The New Yorker she lives in New York City. Farrar Straus & Giroux Hardcover‎

‎A Brother's Journey: Surviving A Childhood Of Abuse‎

‎Warner Books 2005. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Printing. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $21.95. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 262 pages. Synopsis: Dave Pelzer's bestselling memoir A CHILD CALLED IT introduced the world to the Pelzer family and the shocking abuse that took place in their home. Dave was fortunately rescued from the Pelzer household by the time he was twelve but at this point his brother Richard became the target of their mother's alcohol-fueled rage. Subject to nocturnal beatings denied clean clothes and forced to swallow Tabasco sauce Richard Pelzer suffered daily abuses throughout the remainder of his childhood. Now for the first time he shares his story. At once disturbing and uplifting it is the story of a boy who found the courage to survive years of physical abuse - and how the human spirit can triumph even through the most sever and horrific circumstances. Publishers Weekly In this gripping deeply troubling memoir a follow-up to his brother David's bestselling A Child Called It Pelzer reveals the unyielding suffering he says he experienced at the hands of his depraved mother growing up in the 1970s. Once David the elder of the two was removed from the household the author by this account became the target of their mother's alcohol-induced rage. As Pelzer details his outward struggle to survive-learning to fall asleep with his eyes open for example-and his internal efforts to understand and rise above his circumstances he assaults readers with the graphic facts told in surprisingly matter-of-fact language about being beaten bloody for falling asleep when he was supposed to be awake and being forbidden to bathe and forced to eat scraps from a dog bowl. Family members including Pelzer's father neighbors and teachers were aware of the abuse but did nothing to help and Pelzer credits outsiders especially his friend Ben with finally "allowing" him to see himself more clearly. By looking back at-and then releasing-the image of the skinny red-haired boy who wanted nothing more than his mother's love Pelzer discovers his true spirit which he shares courageously and selflessly here in the hope of healing himself as well as raising awareness of and preventing child abuse.

Tight spine bright pages. 328 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Synopsis: A compelling and controversial exploration of absentee fathers and their impact on the nation. Annotation: This powerful and controversial book goes beyond documenting the catastrophic effects of absent fathers on individual families to show how the very ideal of fatherhood is under siege--with devastating effects on society at large. Publishers Weekly: ``The most urgent domestic challenge facing the United States.is the re-creation of fatherhood as a vital social role for men'' says Blankenhorn founder and president of the Institute for American Values a private New York City research organization. His compelling presentation of the ``culture of fatherlessness'' describes more than the physical absence of a father from the family; what is most troubling he maintains is the growing belief that fatherhood is an unnecessary function. The author examines various demographics of fatherlessness and presents his recommendations for rediscovering the goal of ``a father for every child'' cautioning that unless the trend of fatherlessness is reversed the ``decline of child well-being and the spread of male violence'' will not be arrested. Although this and others of his conclusions are arguable Blankenhorn provides much worthy fodder for debate. Basic Books Hardcover‎

‎How to Remodel A Man: Tips and Techniques on Accomplishing Something You Know Is Impossible but Want to Try Anyway‎

‎St Martins Pr 2004. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. price inside dustcover: $19.95. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears. 268 pages. Synopsis Current research suggests there is a large group of people who have been trying to change men. For want of a better term let's call these people "women." Their urge is understandable. We've all had to take measures to accommodate men because they are involved in nearly every aspect of modern life except maybe housework and they like to run things like corporate meetings and the planet. The only other alternative has been to try to avoid men altogether which is pretty hard to do if you are interested in stuff like reproduction or having your oil changed. That's why How to Remodel a Man is so indispensable-it is a clear step-by-step guide for anyone who wants to alter the character and behavior of a man written by an actual man. Author W. Bruce Cameron provides startling insight into male pattern thinking explaining why men can open a refrigerator and not see the mayonnaise or how it is that they can throw dirty clothes at the hamper or in front of the hamper or even on top of the hamper and yet not seem capable of getting any of it in the hamper. Normally changing a man has certain obstacles including but not limited to the fact that it is impossible. But Cameron is able to overcome this hindrance because he himself has been remodeled. In a move so bold it may be shocking to people unaccustomed to such personal courage Cameron turned himself over to the women in his life and asked them to change him. It started with a list of his flaws Cameron came up with four; the women came up with one hundred seventy eight and ended with him writing How to Remodel a Man so that others could learn from his experience. If you're awoman you'll be amazed to learn that men can be trained to perform all sorts of tricks like using the instruments on the sides of their heads the ears to listen to you and the space between those instruments to think about you. If you're a man you've been given this book so that you'll see that it's possible to watch television without holding the remote or to ask for directions from strangers without suffering a catastrophic loss of testosterone. Cameron changed and you can too. How to Remodel a Man is the essential guide for anyone in the awkward position of having to interact with a person of the male gender. St Martins Pr Hardcover‎

NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine bright pages. 322 pages. Synopsis: Divorce is not a sociological or psychological study of the causes of divorce but a compelling account of those directly involved. Feifer interviewed a whole range of people whose lives have been altered by divorce - dozens of former husbands and wives as well as divorce lawyers and therapists children of divorce and divorce court judges. Their collected stories in their own words and colored by their own memories offer a startling and unprecedented view of divorce from those on the inside: a man who finds himself separated from his kids by a technicality in his settlement a woman who overcomes a deadbeat husband and months of poverty to raise six kids and become a CEO a man unhappy in his marriage who finds his soulmate shortly after his twenty-fifth anniversary and a couple who describe their divorce from two very different perspectives. Divorce is absolutely compelling reading for anyone even peripherally touched by a phenomenon that has changed the very meaning of family and marriage. Annotation: To prepare this book Feifer interviewed over 30 people--from bank presidents to waitresses from record producers to abused spouses--all of whom have lived through divorce. As much about marriage as it is about the failure of marriages Divorce concerns people's expectations of life with a partner and how in roughly half of all marriages those expectations are dashed.
