Описание: Girlz in the Hood is the unsentimental, moving, and surprisingly humorous account of a girl and her ten siblings who grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Marys mother was a fierce matriarch, a single mom who raised eleven children with the help of welfare checks and a fire arm hidden in her bra. Drugs, guns, and pregnancies were everyday occurrences, but Mary and her siblings took it all in stride, spying on the grown-ups, playing in the streets, and helping to take care of the new babies when they were born. The dubious yet colorful cast of characters that came into their lives (the Jehovah Witnesses, the whores, the addicts, the "fathers"), and the never-ending series of hardships (the jail terms, the knife fights, the mental illness, and homicides), couldnt shake the core of the family. This is the story of Mary, but, even more so, its the story of her mother, a uniquely strong and extraordinary woman who was able to survive moments of pain and disappointment by laughing at the comedy of human missteps, miscalculations, and downright stupidity. This is also a story about race and of poverty and how, over time, it can wear you down and destroy you, because, although Mary got out okay, her sisters and brothers were not so lucky.

Описание:

My granddaughter, Kelsey, suffers from a genetic deficiency known as Adenosine Deaminase 2 (DADA2), with a manifestation known as polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). She was diagnosed at 3-years-old and started on injectable medication at that point. She has been receiving injections on a frequent basis ever since. She has anxiety when it is time for her injection, even after all of these years. I wrote this book to help her understand, cope with, and accept her circumstance.

All of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go directly to Kelsey's Kaleidocope, Inc.: A New View for PAN, which is a non-profit organization I founded in order to raise awareness and fund research to find a cure for DADA2 and PAN.

Thank you for your support, and please visit our website, www.newviewforpan.org for additional information.

Описание: First Place 2016 ROYAL PALM LITERARY AWARDS Maximilian and Leroy are two circus mice cousins who think they've got it made in the shade at the old, shuttered Farnsworth Circus Museum. There are no dogs around, there's a safe path to the full pantry in the old house, and the barn is full of dry hay and old circus wagons to hang out in. But when a new generation of Farnsworths move in, things start to shake up. And when eight-year-old Lucy Farnsworth brings home a tiny rescue kitten and hides him in the barn because her dad is allergic to cats, Max and Leroy need to think fast if they're going to be able to stay. With the help of Boomer-the strangely silent family dog-Max and Leroy take the new kitten under their wing and show him the ins and outs of living at the museum, and flying "under the radar." Along the way, they all come to realize that the family that you make can be just as important as the one you came from. And when Leroy finds himself in deadly peril as the villainous neighborhood cats Hector and Godfrey some a'hunting, it is Finnigan the Circus Cat who saves the day Inspired by a "real life" rescue kitten and illustrated by the author, this book is the first in a series featuring Finnigan, the Farnsworth family, and Maximilian and Leroy as the circus museum reopens. This heartwarming book will delight both children and adults, or in the long-running tradition of the circus ringmaster's announcement, "Ladies, Gentlemen and Children of All Ages "

Описание: Inspiring. Empowering. A resounding memoir of reinvention.

When a hard fall from a tall horse landed Mary T. Wagner-then a freelance writer and a soccer mom with four young children-in a body cast for three months with a broken back, she didn't take it as a sign to ease back on the throttle. Instead, she changed careers, went to law school, took a job as a criminal prosecutor, and bought her first pair of spike heels. And THEN she started writing again.

More than a dozen national and regional writing awards later, Wagner has compiled this "best of" collection of her inspiring and empowering essays from her first three books, and added a few more for good measure. Wagner's earlier books, "Running with Stilettos," "Heck on Heels" and "Fabulous in Flats," earned recognition for humor, inspiration and memoir, and their kudos included both an Indie Excellence Award and a silver IPPY. Two were finalists in ForeWord Review's Book of the Year Awards. Her legal experience has been similarly eclectic, ranging from handling speeding tickets to arguing cases before the Wisconsin Supreme Court...sometimes in the same week

In essays ranging widely from "Turbo Dating-the Year in Review" to "Riding Pillion," "The Limoncello Diaries" and "Angels in the Snow," Wagner's signature writing style combines humor, insight, and grace under pressure. Whether reflecting on subjects as diverse as motherhood, the view from the back of a Harley, the impending loss of a parent or the therapeutic effects of a post-divorce bonfire, Wagner's inspiring and empowering essays resonate with universal experiences of love, life and reinvention. A must-read for any woman who's asked herself "is there at least one more dream I can reach for?"... and then answered "YES "
