A Blessed Event $13.95 How much is too much to ask of friendship? How long will the bonds of family endure when confronted with swift, unexpected change? These are the intimate questions Jean Reynolds Page poses in A Blessed Event, her assured and powerful literary debut. Joanne Timbro and Darla Stevens have grown up in a small Texas town, their childhood homes separated only by adjoining back yards. Although the families inside these houses have little in common, the two girls find in each other a rare friendship that will take them into their adult lives; a friendship that makes them stronger together than either could be alone. Then as young women, Darla and Jo enter into an agreement that will startle everyone who cares for them. After years of watching Darla’s heartbreaking failure to have a baby with her husband, Cal, Joanne agrees to give birth to the child that Darla cannot have on her own. But in the early morning hours of a warm July morning, everything changes. Joanne, then four months pregnant, is driving a car that veers off the road near the home that Darla shares with Cal. In the days and months that follow, Darla must face for the first time in her memory, the possibility of life without Jo. As Darla tries to uncover the secrets that brought her friend out onto the highway in those dark morning hours, she discovers that she must also fight to keep the baby that was intended to be her child. With the child’s fate hanging in the balance, Darla searches for clues to Jo’s strange behavior leading up to the crash. In the process, she discovers truths that hide in her own life: in her marriage, in her closest friendships, and in a past that has suddenly reemerged, full of unfoldingsecrets. Tender and heartbreaking, hopeful and honest, A Blessed Event brings life’s everyday experiences into bright focus, contrasting beautifully the pain of suffering with the sublime joys of surviving–and truly living.

A Century of Juvenile Justice $55 Since its inception in Illinois in 1899, the juvenile court has become a remarkable legal and social institution all over the developed world, one that plays a singular role in modern government. At its founding, the juvenile court was intended to reverse longstanding legal traditions and to place the child’s interests first in areas of law ranging from dependency to delinquency. Yet in recent years, legal responses to youths’ offenses have undergone striking changes, as more juveniles are being transferred to adult courts and serving adult sentences. A Century of Juvenile Justice is the first standard, comprehensive, and comparative reference work to span the history and current state of juvenile justice. An extraordinary assemblage of leading authorities have produced an accessible, illustrated document, designed as a reference for everyone from probation personnel and police to students, educators, lawyers, and social workers. Editors’ introductions place into context each of the book’s five sections, which consider not only the history of the ideas around which the system was organized and how the institutions and practices interact with other aspects of government policy toward children in the United States and in other nations, but also the ways in which changing social and legal meanings of childhood and youth have continued to influence juvenile justice. The doctrine and institutions of juvenile justice in Europe, Japan, England, and Scotland are profiled in depth to show the range of modern responses to youth crime and child endangerment. This comparative material provides a fresh basis for judging the direction of policy in the United States. Exhaustive andinstructive, A Century of Juvenile Justice belongs on the shelf of everyone concerned with the youth welfare.

A Certain Fall $21.27 A Certain Fall takes the reader to that cold, ominous place-the heart of a family that is self-destructing, and one child determined not to be taken down with them. It is a story about what love is and what love is not. In this collection of stories, a child emerges from a despairing family in the 1950s and ’60s to find hope in the friendship of a small town and its people; and as an adult, struggles with the grief for a childhood lost. A Certain Fall is compassionate but bluntly unambiguous in depicting human cruelty: subtle, or deliberate and shameless. It describes the fortitude and courage of one resilient child and asks if forgiveness is an act or an event in one’s life.

A Child’s Kaleidoscope of an Adult’s Heart $8.14 A Child’s Kaleidoscope of an Adult’s Heart

A Child’s Work $11 The buzz word in education today is accountability. But the federal mandate of no child left behind has come to mean curriculums driven by preparation for standardized tests and quantifiable learning results. Even for very young children, unstructured creative time in the classroom is waning as teachers and administrators are under growing pressures to measure school readiness through rote learning and increased homework. In her new book, Vivian Gussin Paley decries this rapid disappearance of creative time and makes the case for the critical role of fantasy play in the psychological, intellectual, and social development of young children. A Child’s Work goes inside classrooms around the globe to explore the stunningly original language of children in their role-playing and storytelling. Drawing from their own words, Paley examines how this natural mode of learning allows children to construct meaning in their worlds, meaning that carries through into their adult lives. Proof that play is the work of children, this compelling and enchanting book will inspire and instruct teachers and parents as well as point to a fundamental misdirection in today’s educational programs and strategies.

A Crime in the Neighborhood $17.95 In the summer of 1972, in a suburb of Washington, D.C., the body of a twelve-year-old boy was found near a shopping mall. He had been sexually molested and then murdered. The worst crime came later. Marsha Eberhardt was ten years old at the time of the murder. The story of how she reacted is as disturbing as the murder itself. As the adult Marsha looks back on that summer and recounts the events, she sees herself as an almost fanatically vigilant little girl edging as close as possible to every disturbance. There were all kinds of disturbances – the murder, the break-in at the Watergate that Walter Cronkite kept talking about, Marsha’s own family’s upheaval. Her father had deserted her. Her teenaged siblings were shoplifting. Her mother was flirting with the new neighbor next door. When the summer dragged on and on without the police solving the murder, Marsha felt compelled to put the evidence she’d been collecting to use. How do crimes that we witness or commit as children continue to haunt us years later? Can we ever escape the wrongs we’ve done, or the wrongs done to us? Marsha Eberhardt, a child of the seventies – of the first generation to grow up believing there’s no such thing as good government, safe neighborhoods, or stable families – finds herself turning this question over and over in her mind.

A Crushed Rose $15 A Crushed Rose is a true story. A beautiful child was robbed of her youth. Her voice was muted, spirit crushed, and body violated. Her eyes showed fear, sadness, and depression; people labeled her shy. She whispered her story to a few adults; they smiled and pretended not to understand. Incest is a sexual union between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is illegal or forbidden by custom. An informed community and enlightened culture is obligated to expose crimes against children. As an adult, she engaged in a six-year war to save her daughter from being put to death by the state of Mississippi. That fight gave her strength to battle for her health and peace of mind. She ended her fight with God and turned on the real enemy. She prevailed with a clear message to openly fight all forms of sexual violence against children, including the most horrendous depravity-incest.

A Girl’s Life: Horses, Boys, Weddings, & Luck $51.97 In pleasant contrast to the recent flood of haunting childhood memoirs, A Girl’s Life is about growing up in a functional family, about nurture, serenity, wonderment, and the stabilizing contributions an unencumbered heart makes in the life of an observant child. Marianne Gingher makes the events of a normal girlhood not only engaging but distinctly illuminating and explores rites of passage that are as persuasive in shaping an artist’s sensibilities as are privations.A meditation on the comforts of home place and family, A Girl’s Life celebrates the last era in America, the 1950s and 1960s, when it was still possible to enjoy a cynicism-free girlhood — when it was still safe for children to take gifts from strangers and not yet unwise for them to leave the doors of their hearts unlocked . As Eudora Welty wrote in her autobiographical memoir One Writer’s Beginnings, A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within . The seventeen personal narratives collected here corroborate Welty’s conviction.Arranged in a loose chronology, the tales document a southern white girl’s middle-class initiation into the adult world. The first section, Sanctuary , recalls Gingher’s earliest impressions of family dynamics and shelter, a child’s yearnings and resourcefulness. Truths and Grit , the second section, deals with the tempering of bliss, a young girl’s first encounters with corruption and mortality. In the final group of essays, Metaphors and Pies , Gingher explores the contributions her recollections of childhood make in her ongoing trials as a parent and a writer. That her own childhood still informs and inspires her present life is perhapsits greatest legacy.Did the way Marianne Gingher grew up compel her toward the writing life? Certainly the impact of that distant time, specific people and events, sensory-steeped moments, and the privilege of being allowed to dream as well as do enriched and fostered the writer’s imag
