  • Gwendolyn & Eddie

    by Michael O. L. Seabaugh

    In 1957, Gwendolyn is living the domestic dream as the prized wife of the dashing Dr. Paul Stanley Bollinger, with three beautiful, healthy children and a charming Edwardian home in the historic town of Cape Girardeau. Enter Eddie, an inebriated monkey brought home as a poker prize by her equally drunk husband. Thus begins Gwendolyn’s years-long struggle to domesticate two unruly fellas. Eddie is a hilarious handful but no match for Paul Stanley and his increasing penchant for bourbon and nurses. Meanwhile, as the predictable 1950s evolve into the increasingly tumultuous ’60s and beyond, Gwendolyn finds her conservative beliefs challenged by the realities of racism, homophobia, traditional masculinity, the sexual revolution, and the struggle for women's rights. For over forty years, a time marked by hilarity, heartbreak, and tragedy, Eddie serves as her clown prince, her unexpected confidant, and when all is said and done, her solace. The story of Gwendolyn and Eddie is ultimately about cages—the ones we are born into, those we construct for ourselves, and the ones we impose on those we love.

  • Do You Hate the One You Love? : Strategies for Healing and Saving Your Relationship

    by Joan E. Childs

    Many of us experience heartbreak, abuse, and a variety of “unmentionable” challenges in trying to make our relationships successful. For many couples, these challenges are daunting, especially when your partner becomes someone you despise as much as you adore. If that happens, what do you do, and how do you take good care of yourself? That’s what Do You Hate the One You Love? is all about, and though it’s written primarily for women, men should read it, too, first to understand their partner better, and then to learn a few lessons for themselves. As a professional therapist specializing in couple’s therapy, Joan E. Childs has learned that the core problems and causes behind relationship strife can be traced back to childhood. This book is an adventure in intimacy, exploring universal issues that crop up in any relationship and it describes rituals and principles that can heal a contaminated space. As Marcel Proust famously said, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” That’s exactly what is provided in this new book!

  • Dreams and Shadows: An Immigrant’s Journey

    by Emma Violand-Sánchez

    Arriving in Virginia from Bolivia in the summer of 1961 as a high school senior, Emma Violand-Sánchez knew little English. During a long and sometimes painful personal journey that includes losing her first husband in Vietnam and raising two children as a single mother, she became a transformative figure in American public education and in service to immigrants and refugees, advocating for bilingual education and expanding opportunities for immigrant students and their families. Part testament to the power of suffering and faith and to the challenges women face across the world, Dreams and Shadows is also a meditation on politics, class, the immigrant experience, acculturation as a lifelong process, and the importance of maintaining bicultural identity against the myth of the American “melting pot.” On a deeper level, it is also the story of a life lived in service—and about the ways that suffering and joy are contained each within the other, binding us all together across cultures and boundaries.

  • Love and Conductivity

    by Erin Nieto

    Love and adventure don't mix, or so thinks Eleanor Morgan, a teacher of poetry in 1918 Oklahoma. And she's heard the call to adventure all her life: through books, through histories and fairy stories; entering their worlds and their fancies, – this kind of imaginative escape has given her life some of its most bright and shining days. And now, as a grown woman, she's desirous of early 20th century life's real adventures: seeing the West, joining the Navy, exploring the North Pole – and so she's planning her future with no thought of romance. But sparks fly, quite literally, on the night she meets Erwin Phipps, a physical chemist-turned-lieutenant, on his way home to Austin after the Armistice. Their chance encounter is brief, but electric; one she's not able to forget, as much as she tries. Then over a year later and with a continent now between them, an errant New Year greeting from Erwin arrives to her on Valentine's Day. The embers in her heart are fanned back to life, her dreams of adventure having thus far gone unfulfilled, eclipsed by the demands of her family and profession. But letting her guard down, revealing her true self and confronting her rejection of love may prove to be the most perilous—or gorgeous—adventure of all.
