Whitehead Barbara Dafoe
The Divorce Culture
Alfred A Knopf Inc 1997. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.00. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 225 pages Barbara Dafoe Whitehead's Atlantic Monthly article "Dan Quayle Was Right" ignited a media debate on the effects of divorce that rages still. In The Divorce Culture she expands her argument. She shows us how our high-divorce society is creating a low-commitment culture where the breaking of bonds becomes a defining fact and metaphor in our most vital human relations and where the interests and needs of children are increasingly neglected. Using a variety of cultural sources - children's books greeting cards and the literature of self-help etiquette and advice - as well as psychological and sociological research she provides historical perspective and shows how Americans who once viewed divorce as a last resort have come to see it as an entitlement. She traces the change most particularly to the mid-sixties when a major and troublesome shift took place leading to what she calls "expressive divorce" - divorce as an individual prerogative and as a source of personal growth and new opportunity. Whitehead does not oppose divorce as such. She assumes that it is often the only possible remedy for an irretrievably broken or violence-ridden marriage. Rather it is against casual divorce that she argues - divorce that focuses on one person's rights needs and desires without regard to the consequences for others especially children. And she makes us see how little attention is paid to preparation for marriage with the result that it all too frequently turns out to be short-term contingent and subject to abrupt termination.

Zacharias Karen Spears
Hero Mama: A Daughter Remembers The Father She Lost In Vietnam--And The Mother Who Held Her Family Together
William Morrow & Co 2005. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or dustcover clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears. 369 pages. Synopsis I don't remember Mama crying when Granny Ruth died but the day after she was buried Mama gathered together all the pillows in the house and went into the room where her mother's foot-pedaled sewing machine stood silent. Taking a pair of black-handled scissors she cut open the tops of Granny's pillows. Aunt Blanche asked Mama what in Jehoshaphat's name did she think she was doing cutting up all the pillows like that. Mama answered something about finding a crown inside one of those pillows Granny Ruth had fashioned from chicken feathers. "Sometimes" she explained "when a person sleeps on a pillow for a long time the feathers will mold together to make a crown ." It's the 1960s and nine-year-old Karen Spears is living in a trailer in middle Georgia. Her father David Spears was killed in the Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam and left behind three young children and a wife with a ninth-grade education. Hero Mama is the gritty searing and beautifully written story of what happened to this Southern family in the aftermath of a soldier's death. At first the widow Spears appeared to fall apart-turning herself into a beer-guzzling good-time girl while her children responded in kind. Eventually she recognized how much her children needed her and with mule-headed tenacity she earned her nursing degree and bought the family a real home fashioned from bricks rising above her own flaws to forge a better life for her kids. Now Karen Spears Zacharias pays tribute to this woman of guts and determination-her Hero Mama-who battled overwhelming adversity to pull her family up and make them proud of her and of themselves. Hero Mamais also the story of the South where a young girl grew up against an emotionally charged landscape of racism and bigotry where the daughter of a fallen soldier had to face the stigma of a war nobody wanted and where a family in crisis pulled together to achieve its own version of the American dream. It is a triumphant tale of reconciliation between a daughter and her father a daughter and her nation and a daughter and the people of Vietnam. It is a story for any daughter who has loved her father-and for any daughter who has had to discover how deeply her mother really loves her. About the Author: Karen Spears Zacharias's work has won dozens of writing awards. She has lectured at numerous Vietnam veterans' events; serves on the national advisory board of the Virtual Wall and the Orphans of War Foundation; is a contributing columnist for The Veteran the magazine for the Vietnam Veterans of America; and is a member of Sons and Daughters in Touch a national organization for adult children of servicemen killed in Vietnam. She lives in Oregon and Georgia. William Morrow & Co Hardcover

Lerner Harriett
The Mother Dance: How Children Can Change Your Life: Seldom Heard Wisdom Stories and Healing Advice
HarperCollins 1998. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Near-fine copy. Small remainder mark on bottom. NO price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.00 - Stated First Edition - Tight spine clean pages. Pages show light tanning. 317 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Writing from her dual perspective as psychologist and mother Dr. Harriet Lerner puts the spotlight on how a woman is changed when she becomes a mother. Enlivened with personal tales and vivid case examples that run the gamut from the hilarious to the heart-wrenching. The Mother Dance spells out what happens to a woman when two become three . and four. We see why her new life is so different from his - and how children inevitably help us to discover things about ourselves and our partners that we would otherwise never know. Lerner shows us how kids call on us to grow up and are the best teachers of life's most profound spiritual lessons. From birth to the empty nest Lerner's own experience has taught her the basic lessons of motherhood: that we are not in control of what happens to our children; that most of what we worry about doesn't happen though bad things happen that we fail to anticipate; and that our children will love us with all of our imperfections if we can do the same for them. Lerner helps us to distinguish what we can change and how to do it and when we need to surrender to the fact that our lives - and our children's - may not go as we expect or plan.

Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears. 312 pages. Synopsis In the tradition of The Bitch in the House a provocative anthology of original essays about one of life's most complicated relationships. In-laws are the family members you inherit when you choose your spouse. They're the unavoidable human baggage attached to the person you love. It's a relationship that can be traumatic harrowing maddening and hilarious-sometimes all at once. In I Married My Mother-in-law and Other Tales of In-laws We Can't Live With-and Can't Live Without Ilena Silverman brings together seventeen writers who plumb their individual in-law experiences for extraordinary and unexpected wisdom about this uninvited and intense relationship. We hear from a variety of writers including Michael Chabon who writes movingly about what he learned from his ex-wife's father; Kathryn Harrison whose relationship with her father-in-law was more rewarding and less complicated than the one she had with her own father; Martha McPhee who explores the role that money plays in the in-law dynamic; Susan Straight who recounts her experience as the first white woman who married into her husband's African-American family; and Ayelet Waldman who ponders the competition between wives and mothers for the attention of their husbands/sons. By turns blunt and poignant horrifying and touching these essays are small mirrors that reflect some of the myriad aspects of this bewildering and complex relationship. Remarkable for both the quality of its prose and the scope of its emotional insight I Married My Mother-in-law is an unforgettable anthology about an inescapable family relationship.

Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine clean pages. 228 pages. Annotation In this in-depth guide--available in paperback for the first time--family therapist Bonnie Eaker Weil presents an effective program designed to help couples survive infidelity and build lasting relationships. More than 98 percent of couples treated by Dr. Well stay together after an affair. Publishers Weekly Everybody but your maiden aunt appears in this somewhat disorganized but ultimately helpful book. Woody and Mia mix it up with almost the entire House of Windsor. Tips to would-be paramours for avoiding triangles scripts for discussions between cheater and cheatee pre-relationship contracts outlining acceptable behavior and the ultimate in inner child work embracing the wounded inner child of the spouse who cheated on you. Weill a family therapist and Winter a syndicated columnist maintain that cheating runs in families and is done to fill emotional rather than sexual needs but their analysis lacks depth and is the least interesting aspect of the book. And by encouraging wounded spouses to be more sexually giving to their wandering partners they belie their point that adultery is not about sex. They do point out that married men aren't the only ones on the prowl--so there is much to study here for the suspicious of both sexes. Birch Lane Press Hardcover

NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine bright pages. Ours is a culture of divorce yet some couples have happy long-lasting marriages. What is their secret When so many marriages fail miserably why do others succeed This book has the answers. Judith Wallerstein coauthor of Second Chances the landmark bestseller on divorce now turns her attention to marriages that work. Based on a groundbreaking study of fifty couples who consider themselves happily married The Good Marriage offers an entirely fresh vision of that most complex of human relationships. Wallerstein describes what she considers the four basic types of marriage: romantic rescue companionate and traditional. She identifies the natural stages of a marriage and explains the nine psychological tasks - including separating from the family of origin and making a safe place for conflict - that must be undertaken by anyone committed to having a good marriage. Wallerstein and coauthor Sandra Blakeslee introduce us to a number of couples who speak honestly and eloquently about the intimate interiors of their marriages. We meet Sara and Matt whose passion for each other still burns strong many years after their first electrifying encounter; Helen and Keith who discovered that marriage can heal the wounds of an unhappy childhood; Ellis and Janet who each brought two children to their second marriage and made it work. Thanks to the astonishing candor of these couples we learn a great deal about how partners in a good marriage overcome difficult obstacles resolve the conflicts that come with parenting and keep love alive despite the myriad pressures of modern life. The men and women interviewed by Wallerstein readily admit that even the best relationship requires hard work and continuing negotiation. But they also convey an inspirational message for almost all of them feel that their marriage is their single greatest accomplishment. The Good Marriage explains why and its lively mix of storytelling and analysis will challenge every couple to think. Houghton Mifflin Hardcover

Synopsis In the bestselling tradition of Running with Scissors and A Girl Named Zippy Jennifer Traig tells an unforgettable story of youthful obsession. When her father found the washing machine crammed with everything from her sneakers to her barrettes 12-year-old Jennifer Traig had a simple explanation: theyd been tainted by the pork fumes emanating from the kitchen and had to be cleansed. The same fumes compelled Jennifer to meticulously wash her hands for 30 minutes before dinner: All scrubbed in for your big casserolectomy Dr. Traig her mother asked. It wasnt long before her family's exasperation made Jennifer realize that her behavior had gone beyond fastidious--in her own eyes shed gone from quirky girl to raving lunatic. Jennifer's childhood mania was the result of her undiagnosed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder joining forces with her Hebrew studies. While preparing for her bat mitzvah she was introduced to an entire set of arcane laws and quickly made it her mission to follow them perfectly. Her parents nipped her religious obsession in the bud early on but as her teen years went by her natural tendency toward the extreme led her down different paths of adolescent agony and mortification. Years later Jennifer remembers these scenes with candor and humor. What emerges is a portrait of a well-meaning girl and her good-natured parents and a very funny very sharp look back at growing up.

Happily this surge has coincided with an increasing mainstream acceptance of adoption as just another way to form a family complete with its own frustrations and joys that deserve to be discussed and celebrated. A Love Like No Other does just that. It features twenty leading writers all of whom are adoptive parents discussing their personal experiences. They include adoptive parents of children of other races like Emily Prager who grapples with how to best keep her daughter connected to her Chinese roots; parents whose families blend biological children and adopted children like bestselling author Jacquelyn Mitchard; single mothers of only children like journalist Sheila Stainback; and same-sex adoptive parents like Jesse Green who wonders how his sons will feel when instructed to make a Mother's Day card. They live in big cities and small towns and have adopted domestically and overseas. Some of their stories soberingly address the potential complications of adoptive parenting while others tell of happily enriched family lives. Impressive for both its breadth and its quality A Love Like No Other is a timely and heartwarming mosaic of the contemporary lives of adoptive parents and their children. In elegant prose and with refreshing honesty these essays will introduce you to a group of families you won't soon forget. Riverhead Books Hardcover

NO writing marks or tears. - Fashion designer Dana Buchman tells of her daughter Charlotte's severe struggle with learning disabilities and of her own steep learning curve to become the mother Charlotte needs her to be Dana Buchman knew almost nothing about "learning differences" when her oldest daughter Charlotte was diagnosed with neurological spatial and motor skill disabilities as a toddler. Furthermore from the Ivy League to the launch of her own fashion label Buchman had encountered few obstacles that couldn't be overcome through hard work and determination. Unfortunately Buchman's well-developed ability to "fix" things would not serve her in her efforts to deal with Charlotte's disabilities; she would have to develop a new skill set to be able to see Charlotte as a person with unique abilities. A riveting and intensely personal memoir A Special Education reveals the long and arduous process of Charlotte's development as well as Buchman's own path to self-discovery. Confessing frequent anxiety guilt frustration and anger Buchman describes the difficult search to find the right school and care for Charlotte and the strain the process put on her marriage and family life. In addition Buchman tells of her own struggles with excessive drinking and workaholism-and of finally letting go of her drive to be "perfect." A moving mother-daughter story A Special Education is an inspiring account of one mother's journey to acceptance and understanding as well as a family's triumph over daunting circumstances.

Price inside dustcover: $24.95. 261 pages. NO writing marks or tears. - "Don't date this guy he's crazeeeee." -Diana Abu-Jabar "Of Romance And Revolution" Mr. Wrong is the tug behind your navel the guy who lights you up like a Roman candle the danger you can't resist. And just about every woman at some point in her life has encountered one-or many. Women everywhere will see themselves in these witty wise and entertaining personal essays by some of the literary world's most accomplished and bestselling authors including Jane Smiley Audrey Niffennegger Jacquelyn Mitchard Ntozake Shange Roxana Robinson Marge Piercy and Ann Hood. Readers will delight in the array of Mr. Wrongs encountered in these pages-from harmless and charming to revolting and offensive-and ultimately relish the notion that even if we succumb to the temptation of an utterly reckless romance we can emerge with our hearts intact. By turns wry and heartfelt lighthearted and redemptive these insightful uplifting real-life stories run the emotional gamut from Whitney Otto's satisfying tale of a Mr. Wrong who receives his comeuppance in an unexpected way to Robin Westen's steamy account of lust with a zen master to Monika Ekk's rueful "I Married a Wanker!" Some are hilarious like Marion Winik's "The Ten Most Wanted" while others like Catherine Texier's "Russian Lessons" take us to the dark side of love and longing. For every prince charming there are a million frogs. If you've ever trusted a man you couldn't trust Mr. Wrong will make you laugh cry and shake your head in recognition at yourself and your friends.
