Laura Kasischke

A Novel 

Diana stands before the mirror preening with her best friend, Maureen. Suddenly, a classmate enters holding a gun, and Diana sees her life dance before her eyes. In a moment the future she was just imagining--a doting wife and mother at the age of forty--is sealed by a horrific decision she is forced to make. In prose infused with the dramatically feminine sensuality of spring, we experience seventeen-year-old Diana's uncertain steps into womanhood--her awkward, heated forays into sex; her fresh, fragile construction of an identity. Together with the sights and sounds of renewal, we experience the tasks of Diana's adulthood: protecting her beloved daughter and holding onto her successful husband.
An acclaimed writer and poet, Laura Kasischke has crafted a consciousness that encompasses the truth of a teenager's world and the profound transformation of that world at midlife. Resonant and deeply stirring, The Life Before Her Eyes finds piercing beauty in the midst of a nightmare from long ago that echoes like a dirge beneath each new spring.

The New Science of Growing Old - and What It Means for Staying Young

"Theoretical biologist Josh Mitteldorf and ... ecological philosopher Dorion Sagan [posit] that evolution and aging are even more complex and breathtaking than we originally thought. Using ... multidisciplinary science, as well as reviewing the history of our understanding about evolution, this book makes the case that aging is not something that 'just happens, ' nor is it the result of wear and tear or a genetic inevitability. Rather, aging has a fascinating evolutionary purpose: to stabilize populations and ecosystems, which are ever-threatened by cyclic swings that can lead to extinction"--

Dawn Prince-Hughes

1st Edition/1st Printing - Jotted notes on front end paper, several dog-eared pages 

My Journey Through Autism

"This is a book about autism. Specifically, it is about my autism, which is both like and unlike other people's autism. But just as much, it is a story about how I emerged from the darkness of it into the beauty of it." So writes Dr. Dawn Prince-Hughes in the introduction to Songs of the Gorilla Nation. In this elegant and thought-provoking memoir, Dawn traces her personal growth from before she was diagnosed with autism, to the moment that she enters the Seattle Zoo and becomes immediately fascinated with the gorillas. For her, gorillas were more subtle and less threatening than humans, since she could observe them quietly and continuously, separated from them by the cage bars. With each passing day, Dawn felt compelled to re-enter the zoo and get closer and closer to the gorillas. In one particularly touching moment. Dawn recalls the precise and magical instant when a gorilla first physically touches her, and she is able to emerge from her solitude and connect to a living being in a way she had never before experienced. Dawn sees her life divided principally into three parts: a life without song, learning the songs of the gorilla nation, and finally, how she can't keep herself from singing. In the first phase, she struggles with childhood and adolescence, constantly wondering why she is different from her peers, and being confined to periods of extreme isolation. In the second part, she finally learns to become a social being through her relationship with gorillas, and eventually expands upon this to finish her education and devel- op lasting love relationships in her life. Finally, in the last phase, Dawn confronts loss with the death of her best friend, a gorilla named Congo, who helped her make the leap from a life lived in isolation to one filled with love. This loss inspires her to start a family for herself. Dawn's evocative story will no doubt have a lasting impact on all readers, forcing us, like the author herself, to re-discover and assess our own understanding of human emotion.

Jennifer Weiner

From Jennifer Weiner comes a story of two sisters with nothing in common but a love for shoes learn they are more alike than they thought possible. Meet Rose Feller, a thirty-year-old high-powered attorney with a secret passion for romance novels. She has an exercise regime she's going to start next week, and she dreams of a man who will slide off her glasses, gaze into her eyes, and tell her she's beautiful. She also dreams of getting her fantastically screwed-up, semi-employed little sister to straighten up and fly right. Meet Rose's sister, Maggie. Twenty-eight years old and drop-dead gorgeous. Although her big-screen stardom hasn't progressed past her left hip's appearance in a Will Smith video, Maggie dreams of fame and fortune -- and of getting her big sister on a skin-care regimen. These two women, who claim to have nothing in common but a childhood tragedy, DNA, and the same size feet, are about to learn that they're more alike than they'd ever imagined. Along the way, they'll encounter a diverse cast of characters -- from a stepmother who's into recreational Botox to a disdainful pug with no name. They'll borrow shoes and clothes and boyfriends, and eventually make peace with their most intimate enemies -- each other.

Kim Edwards

A #1 New York Times bestseller by Kim Edwards, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter is a brilliantly crafted novel of parallel lives, familial secrets, and the redemptive power of love Kim Edwards’s stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964 in Lexington, Kentucky, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognizes that his daughter has Down syndrome. Rationalizing it as a need to protect Norah, his wife, he makes a split second decision that will alter all of their lives forever. He asks his nurse, Caroline, to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child herself. So begins this beautifully told story that unfolds over a quarter of a century—in which these two families, ignorant of each other, are yet bound by the fateful decision made that winter night long ago. A family drama, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter explores every mother's silent fear: What would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? It is also an astonishing tale of love and how the mysterious ties that hold a family together help us survive the heartache that occurs when long-buried secrets are finally uncovered.

And life, once merely a matter of survival, becomes rich with the joys of truly living.
