Psychotherapy is not just an abstract concept and cannot be described without reference to real human beings. So this book is also a story about people, in particular, two men who knew trauma, loneliness, and sometimes, despair. They dealt with their pain in some of the ways that people do: drinking, anger, disparaging others, and withdrawal from all but the safest of people. This, but for one element, would be a story of tragedy. The element ...

This is a remarkable book. It chronicles the 25 year journey of Philip Workman through what US Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun termed 'the machinery of death'. It is the most detailed, intimate and complete look at a death row prisoner that I have encountered. The story is told through Ingle's eyes as Workman's pastor, the perspective of another condemned prisoner, and courtesy of the Tennessee Public Records Act, the viewpoint of the sta...

ETHEL! Leave Her Alone!" is a story about a southern girl growing up in a changing society. Born in Mississippi in 1935, Betty Jo Whitten was different from Day One.

The life she has lived since then has made - and is making- that equality a reality for the women who follow her. This b...

As the number of surviving veterans of World War II dwindles, the appearance of new memoirs from participants in that conflict appears less likely. Fortunately, in 1989 Herschel Ponder, from Asheville, North Carolina, felt compelled to put pen to paper to inform his three daughters and grandchildren of his part in the greatest armed struggle of the twentieth century. A broad audience will welcome these well-written and fascinating recollection...

As her fight wore on and her battling body wore down, I knew it was time to talk to her. I'd already told her it was okay if she wanted to die. But now I just wanted to tell her, one last time on Earth, what she meant to me, to us all ...while she could still hear me. So, I took a deep breath, thought about what I would say, or at least how I would start. And this monologue of memories and love just came spilling out..." What author Tim Ghiann...

Four weeks after my mother's death in 1992, I discovered a charred sea chest in her attic. In it was a dove-gray logbook that contained the journal of Jeremiah Vann.

She came of age during the American Civil War and has left us writings which are that very ornament which she so prophetically spoke of. Margaret (hereafter known as Maggie) was indeed the delight of her dear parents and of future Vaulx...
