Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; 7.6 x 5 x 0.5 inches; 155 pages; nFrom Publishers Weekly Maria her brother and sister arrive in the U. S. From El Salvador jammed inside a nailed crate. Having left their mother and baby sister in Mexico they are ready to take up the twilight existence of the illegal alien in Chicago. Maria and her siblings not only face extradition if caught but nearly certain death if returned to their homeland. Sister Julia is pregnant and it falls to Maria to learn English look for work and find food for her family. In retelling the plight of Central American refugees Buss with the assistance of Cubias a poet and activist from El Salvador delicately avoids the obvious and didactic pitfalls in describing this all-too-common problem. By not dwelling on the brutality of the Guardias in El Salvador who killed Maria's father and Julia's husband and the numbing details of poverty she makes this a surprisingly entertaining and hopeful story.

Gingerbread
New York U. S. A.: Simon Pulse. As New 2003. Softcover. Marfree acidfree Fine 1stEd softcov Gift Qual; no names not marked-in underscored clearance or discard. Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; 7 x 5 x 0.5 inches; 173 pages; nFrom Publishers Weekly The 16-year-old "recovering hellion" as her stepfather refers to her who narrates Cohn's debut novel breathes a joie de vivre into this story of her bicoastal family. Cyd Charisse named for the dancer/actress a wealthy and wild love child begins her story after being booted out of boarding school. Nearly the first half of the novel is set in San Francisco where she's having trouble settling back into life with a mother obsessed with weight and a perfect house and a boyfriend Shrimp who suddenly wants his space. Her mother and stepdad agree to send her to her biological father in New York City whom she's only met once when he gave her Gingerbread a still-treasured rag doll . Cohn creates a vivid sense of place and culture on both coasts and although Cyd doesn't find the perfect family in either place she is able to find a more mature version of herself. Plus she learns to appreciate both sides of her family; she's even able to finally tell her mother about her secret abortion. Cohn covers a lot of ground from prep school flashbacks to Cyd's discovery of the secrets on her father's side of the family. Some of the characters and plot points are more developed than others; for instance Cyd's elderly hip and clairvoyant friend Sugar Pie and Shrimp may seem more vivid to readers than Cyd's younger West Coast half-siblings. In the end it's Cyd's creativity and energy that keep the story on course and her magnetic narrative will keep readers hooked. Ages 13-up. Copyright 2002 Cahners. From School Library Jour Grade 9&Up--According to stepdad Sid Cyd Charisse is a "recovering hellion. " Kicked out of boarding school the teen returns home to San Francisco. True to her wild nature and obsession with boys she does anything to get a rise from her parents. She is grounded in her "puke-princess bedroom" after being caught out overnight again with surfer-boyfriend Shrimp. Finally Sid and Nancy send her to bio-dad in NYC. Meeting her real father and family has long been Cyd's dream. Since he was married with children when her mom had an affair with him he is virtually a stranger to her. When Cyd got in trouble at boarding school and needed money for an abortion though she called him. He didn't remember Gingerbread the rag doll he gave her when she was five but he helped her out. Cyd Charisse sees herself when she meets him 11 years later. She finds excitement working in her gay half-brother's caf� as a barista and exploring New York. Confrontations with her older half-sister and brief talks with her father bring Cyd more knowledge about her families on both coasts. Her strong independent and kinky personality; realistic take on life; and quick mind make her a memorable character. Cohn works wonders with snappy dialogue up-to-the-minute language and funny repartee. Her contemporary voice is tempered with humor and deals with problems across two generations. Funny and irreverent reading with teen appeal that's right on target. Gail Richmond San Diego Unified Schools CA Copyright 2002 Cahners. . Simon Pulse paperback

In Vitro Fertilization: The A. R. T. of Making Babies REV.
New York: Facts On File. Fine in Fine dust jacket 1995. Hardcover. Marfree fresh prtg Gift qual F/Fine; not marked-in clearance or discard. Usually mails within 12 hours. ; 9.3 x 6.2 x 1.0 inches; 240 pages; From Booklist This clearly written technical handbook guides couples who are trying to conceive in determining whether they are eligible for in vitro fertilization IVF and in selecting the program that will help them achieve the best results. It describes in detail the anatomy and physiology of conception and the steps required for realizing it in the IVF procedure. In addition to providing accurate information the practitioner authors address emotional financial physical and moral-religious issues involved in the decision to conceive with medical assistance. Despite its experimental reputation and persistent high cost IVF is an appropriate option for many of the estimated 3.3 million infertile couples in the U. S. Today so this specialized manual speaks to a rather large audience of potential users. Kathryn Carpenter This book is informative organized and well written. Feb 7 1999 Reviewer: A reader#This book provides individuals undergoing any type of assisted reproduction with a guide to help them in decision making by thoroughly informing them at their own pace. Now entering our second cycle of in vitro fertilization I find myself reading certain chapters in the book for the third and fourth time. Each experience is different. Although a patient must rely heavily on the expertise of their physician reproduction in this manner is an incredibly complex occurrence creating many questions that this book accurately answers. I've come to depend on it greatly and find that it has become almost a constant sight on my reading table. I have found that much of the writing that has been done about in vitro fetilization was done so for the physician and clinician as the reader. This is a thorough as well as current explanation of what a patient can expect and should look for when entering a program for assisted reproduction. - Kristie Greiss . Facts On File hardcover

Mace Nancy L.; MD Peter V. Rabins
The 36-hour Day: Third Ed. A Family Guide to Caring for Persons with Alzheimer Disease Related Dementing Illnesses and Memory Loss in Later Life
Baltimore London: Johns Hopkins University Press. Fine 1999. Third Edition. Softcover. Marfree fresh prtg 3 Ed; lite hilites 1st 32pp not o/w marked-in clearance or discard. Usually mails within 12 hours. ; Johns Hopkins Press Health Bks. ; 9.0 x 6.0 x 1.0 inches; 339 pages; From Library Jour: It has been estimated that five percent of older people suffer from severe intellectual impairment. So these two eloquent and readable guides will be much in demand as the number of families facing the challenge of caring for a relative with some form of dementing illness continues to grow. First published in 1981 The 36-Hour Day follows the format of the previous two editions but has been thoroughly updated to incorporate new information on the latest research several drugs that hold promise and genetic aspects of Alzheimer's. The heart of the guide remains unchanged focusing on helping families cope with this progressive and irreversible disease. Besides tips on how to care for the demented during the various stages of the disease for example place a picture of a toilet on the bathroom door the text discusses the different kinds of help available and how to seek it. Financial and legal issues are well covered while sections on nursing homes and other alternative living arrangements provide advice and practical suggestions. Appendixes list recent books videos web sites and U. S. And international organizations. The thrust of GentlecareR is a well-argued plea for a radical change in the way we care for Alzheimer's patients. In outlining her program Jones states that this rethinking involves people physical space and individualized programs. Everyone in the physical plant from maintenance worker to director belongs to the care-giving team as do family members and volunteers. Only when impaired persons can no longer perform for themselves a task like feeding themselves or dressing should it be done for them. Care should concentrate on what can be done not what cannot. Because her emphasis is on the need for a comprehensive program of care and concentrates more on the institutional setting Jones does not provide as many practical suggestions or the depth of advice for home care that Mace and Rabins do.

Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; 8.6 x 5.9 x 0.8 inches; 187 pages; From Publishers Weekly The author of Cut writes a second absorbing novel exploring the issue of an adolescent's self-destructive behavior. Thirteen-year-old Toby Malone who narrates watches in despair as his older brother once a star athlete travels down a path of ruin becoming increasingly involved with drugs. Not wanting to upset his recently divorced mother who is already overwhelmed with problems Toby remains silent about Jake's addiction and in effect becomes his brother's "keeper " making excuses for Jake when he disappears into the night and comes home stoned. When Jake's friends make a mess in the house Toby cleans it up and when Jake quits the baseball team Toby doesn't tell. The one time Toby attempts to take control of Jake's problem by flushing a bag of marijuana down the toilet Jake retaliates by stealing and selling Toby's most prized possession. Tension mounts as Jake's activities get wilder and more dangerous inevitably causing emotional pain for everyone in the family. Throughout the book McCormick honestly and dramatically expresses Toby's frantic desire to restore normalcy in his broken home. She credibly develops a plot that demonstrates why playing the role of enabler ultimately does more harm than good and invites reflective thought and meaningful discussion. Ages 10-up. � Reed. From School Library Jour: Grade 7-10– As with Cut Front St 2000 McCormick has tackled a tough subject in language teens can grasp. Toby Malone is a high school freshman whose life is slowly unraveling. His father has left the family and his mother is struggling to make ends meet. His older brother Jake is slowly slipping into drug and alcohol abuse while his younger brother Eli is bewildered by all of the sudden changes. Toby cleans up after Jake's drunken illnesses pulls bills out of the mail and throws them away before his mom can see them feeds Eli whatever he can find in the refrigerator and signs his own permission slips for school. But while his mother deals with her depression by dating she is oblivious to the obvious signs of distress in her family. Things come to a head when a policeman finds Eli injured from a bike accident and brings him home safely only to meet up with another officer bringing Jake home from a minor car accident involving drugs and alcohol. Jake is sent to rehab as a part of his probation and Mom's attention finally focuses back on the boys. The story ends too quickly with the mother's sudden decision to take charge again. Still this is a story that will grab readers' attention. It is written in a realistic and engaging manner and is a good discussion starter. It explores the different roles played out by the family members and how it is impossible for one person to hold things together no matter how hard he tries. – Diana Pierce Running Brushy Middle School Cedar Park TX � Reed. .
