Vows
From the bestselling author of Home Comforts comes the "timely" (The New Yorker), "fascinating, and morally serious," (The Wall Street Journal) story of our wedding vows--what they mean and why they still matter. In the West, marrying is so thoroughly identified with ceremonial promises that "taking vows" is a synonym for getting married. So, it's a surprise to realize that this custom is actually a historical and anthropological oddity. Most of the world, for most of history, married without making promises. And there's a reason for that. Marriage by vow presupposes free choice, and free choice makes a love-match possible. It is a very modern arrangement. Vows is both a moving memoir of two marriages and an "illuminating" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) meditation on marriage itself. Cheryl Mendelson tackles the sociology of commitment through our most traditional promises and shows why they endure. In considering the kind of marriage these vows entail, she helps answer some of life's most urgent and personal questions: Could I, would I, or should I make these promises to someone? Using history and literature, the book describes the parameters of the behavior that traditional vows promise and, in doing so, answers a whole series of other questions: Why did wedding-by-vow arise only in the West? Why are they recited in weddings around the world today? Why have these vows lasted for nearly a thousand years? Why does the kind of marriage promised in the vows survive?

On Marriage
A compulsively readable, startling, and philosophically rich book about marriage, from an acclaimed critic and filmmaker A New Yorker Best Book of the Year - A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year - A Seminary Coop Notable Book of 2023 "Baum is an erudite and entertaining guide through the landscape of marriage. . . . A fascinating exploration."--Stephanie Merritt, The Guardian "As far back as our history books go, we have no record of a time preceding marriage. Isn't that an extraordinary fact?" So writes Devorah Baum in this searching and revelatory book. Marriage, for better or for worse, is how humans have organized their world and told their story. Straight, queer, coupled, single: none live outside the remit of marriage. One might as well try to live beyond language. But when confronted with the question "What do intellectuals think of marriage?" Baum concludes that most philosophers have preferred to avoid the subject. Is marriage then an intellectual blind spot? To fill in the gaps, she draws on a wide range of cultural material, from the classical to the contemporary, while interweaving reflections on her own experiences of matrimony to both critique and celebrate marriage's many contradictions and its profound effects on us all. In doing so, she reveals how marriage has worked as a cover story for power and its abuses on the one hand, and for subversive and even utopian relational practices on the other. Entertaining, illuminating, consoling, and candid, On Marriage is an unprecedented investigation of what we are really talking about when we talk about marriage.

Through Quick and Quinn
Two teenagers bound by loss find unexpected connection in this poignant coming-of-age story about healing, critical thinking, and the transformative power of friendship. Quinn Washington has learned to cope with her brother's tragic death through meditation, spirituality, and quiet solitude. Declan "Quick" Williams, haunted by his little brother's kidnapping, uses research and skepticism to avoid confronting his pain. Both are outsiders at their high school, content to remain invisible-until an innovative history project forces them to work together. As Quinn and Quick form an unlikely friendship around their shared interests in questioning the world around them, they create "Seek & Speak," an anonymous forum that encourages fellow students to dig deeper and think critically. But as their friendship evolves into something more, they must contend with personal demons, school authorities who want to shut down their forum, and the looming separation of different post-graduation paths. Through journal entries, text messages, and intimate dialogues, readers witness the pair's journey as they navigate grief, first love, family dynamics, and the courage to face uncomfortable truths. Most importantly, Quick and Quinn discover that healing doesn't mean forgetting-and that sometimes the people who understand our pain best are those who have walked similar paths. A moving exploration of finding light in darkness, "Through Quick and Quinn" reminds us that the most powerful connections often begin when we dare to question, seek, and speak our truths. If you enjoyed "All the Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven, "Looking for Alaska" by John Green, and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, you'll love "Through Quick and Quinn."
