Tapestry of Poetry, Pathos and Love
When Doctors diagnosed Jack's wife, Debbie after a four year mini-remission with recurrent breast cancer for the somewhat rare triple negative variety, Jack looked for a way to up his caregiving game. This is Jack's story, expressed in heartfelt poetic verse, of his efforts to leave everything on the metaphorical field while caring for Debbie during surgical and cancer treatments. At first, he began presenting Debbie with encouragement style "you got this" cards that took many different forms across myriad card companies. In some, he penned short verses of "love and support" poetry. Predictably, these were met with broad smiles and loving expressions. Having hoped and prayed that this nasty "beast" would not recur, resurgence was a hard pill to swallow. Debbie, ever the optimist, never wavered in her positive attitude of overcoming just another "bump in the road." Jack, with more of a "glass half-empty" persona was less sanguine but vowed to stay upbeat. Part of his own therapy to stay visibly positive involved committing demon-fed emotions of fear and anger to paper in the form of poetry; his catharsis. None were share with Debbie.With 100 days remaining in Debbie's therapy, things changed. Visiting the radiation center twice per day, accumulated exhaustion seeped in. Yet, the end was in sight. Jack, inspired by a desire to "leave everything on the field," attempted to write a poem per day, praying he had the wherewithal. How many ways existed to express love, encouragement, and support; one essential theme defined in a hundred different ways. He accomplished this and more, subsequently deciding to publish all his poems to formally document the experience, further exhibit his love for Debbie and create a family legacy for future generations. In his comprehensive Introduction Jack talks to his longtime relationship with Debbie and offers detailed explanations for writing his poems as well as for deciding to publish the book, exposing the deepest elements of emotional anguish.The themes expressed in Jack's poems transcend this couple's cancer experience. Others in similar situations can profit from Jack and Debbie's story. Lessons about giving everything to a loved one suffering from cancer or another disease together with caregiving may be imported. Jack's use of humor, autobiographical anecdotes, and professional illustrations for each poem add color and context to the mix of poems and personal pieces of history that defines the sixty years of their relationship in this marvelously scripted love story.
Developing Healthy Childhood Brains
What happens to the brain in early childhood years-at school and at home-can have a direct influence on the rest of a person's life. Developing Healthy Childhood Brains is designed to help teachers and parents work together for the benefit of young children, when their young brains are undergoing crucial phases of development. It provides a simple framework designed to give parents and teachers what they need to participate together in a child's neurological development. Neuroscience has demonstrated that a poorly developed child's brain can cause serious problems in adulthood. How do we prevent those problems from happening? What is within the control of parents and teachers? Despite their crucial role in childhood brain development, the adults who design home and school environments for children rarely have a common, unified approach. And, importantly, parents and teachers rarely have a common, factual guide for designing environments that foster healthy brain development. This book, reviewed by a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology, will address some of the primary factors that influence healthy brain development in the context of schools and homes. It is designed to be used collaboratively by parents and teachers, so that there is alignment and unity between school and home environments. With everyone working together and using the same framework, we can prevent many problems during childhood and prevent tragic outcomes in adults.

The result is a quick and quirky roadmap to living an authentic life and becoming your "Bess-t" self.Spanning topics of life, love and keeping up appearances, The World According to Bess is a feel-good book for women offering zany humor and uplifting guidance on how to keep life simple and meaningful-even if the world around us seems to be losing its mind.

An Entanglement Of Yarn
Yarn: the basis of clothing. Each stitch carefully woven to create something beautiful, like a glamorous dress or a smart tux. And we all wear those fine clothes, even those called poor. And whether rich or poor, we all have a tale to tell. We've all had our day. We all get angry or feel sad. And we all cry and we all laugh. And just like yarn, we are carefully woven to be who we are, to decide who we are and find freedom within ourselves. While battles rage on, we all have to look within ourselves: whether we are ragdolls or warriors. We have our fate cut at the spindle: the three fates deciding our lives. And celebrate we do: knowing happiness yet knowing sorrow. Knowing for our party we mustn't be late. And we put on our stylish clothes and we paint our faces with colourful paint, dressed up to the nines. Our seams never splitting: our hearts never again broken. The mended ragdolls we are. We are an entanglement of yarn.

New Families, No Families?
Is the American family a thing of the past? Almost anyone can tell a story that illustrates how dramatically things have changed in the past decades. Nonmarriage, childlessness and divorce are commonplace. Most children leave their parents' home and live for increasing periods before marriage as independent adults. But there are also signs of strengths. Some parents play more equal roles, both financially and in coping with household tasks. In this revealing new study, Frances Goldscheider and Linda Waite discuss cogently the question of whether we are headed for no families, or new families.Adults across the nation who reached "thirtysomething" in the early 1980s are the primary focus of the book, although broader patterns of social change are seen in the influence of their parents' experiences on them and in their own children's experiences of family life. The authors begin with their subjects as very young adults, examining their plans for work and family and their attitudes toward women's work and family roles. As these young men and women move farther into adulthood, we learn what influences their chances of marriage, their patterns of family building (and dissolving), and the division of labor in the families they form. In each case the authors focus on the effects of exposure to different family structures in childhood and young adulthood. The authors find, surprisingly, that the real threats to the family are in the home itself: the new option of "a home of one's own" in a variety of circumstances outside of marriage, most men's noninvolvement in the home and its tasks, and the fact that knowledge of and respect for basic skills involved in making a home are not being taught to today's sons and daughters.
The Worth of a Child
Thomas Murray's graceful and humane book illuminates one of the most morally complex areas of everyday life: the relationship between parents and children. What do children mean to their parents, and how far do parental obligations go? What, from the beginning of life to its end, is the worth of a child?Ethicist Murray leaves the rarefied air of abstract moral philosophy in order to reflect on the moral perplexities of ordinary life and ordinary people. Observing that abstract moral terms such as altruism and selfishness can be buried in the everyday doings of families, he maintains that ethical theory needs a richer description than it now has of the moral life of parents and children. How far should adults go in their quest for children? What options are available to women who do not want to bear a child now? Should couples be allowed to reject a child because of genetic disability or "wrong" gender? How can we weigh the competing claims of the genetic and the rearing parents to a particular child?The Worth of a Child couples impressive learning with a conversational style. Only by getting down to cases, Murray insists, can we reach moral conclusions that are unsentimental, farsighted, and just. In an era of intense public and private acrimony about the place and meaning of "family values," his practical wisdom about extraordinary difficult moral issues offers compelling reading for both experienced and prospective parents, as well as for ethicists, social and behavioral scientists, and legal theorists.

No No Nola Spicolla Goes to Foster Care
No No Nola Spicolla is a book about a baby goat or "kid" who must live with a foster family for a period as her mother is unable to care for her. This mirrors the need for foster care in human children due to child abuse, neglect, domestic violence, or addiction. The author wants children to know that out of home placement is never the child's fault and there are loving families that can help bridge the gap from dysfunction to the collective goal of change and reunification. As a retired Probation/Parole Agent, the author has seen the repercussions of children not having clear answers about what is going on in their lives. This results in confusion throughout adolescence and adulthood which keeps the cycle going. It is hoped the book will open dialog about their situation and help them understand why they are not living at home. No No Nola Spicolla is a spirited "kid" who learns to bond and trust a family that is not her own and feel safe and loved until she could return to her home. The whimsical illustrations in the book are beautiful and portray the joy Nola brought to the Hoglund family during her stay in their home.
