Book Description
The book comprises three tales written in "classical" verse (i.e., strict rhythms and rhyme.) Although in the form of fairy tales and fables, they deal with important social and historic issues. "A Tale of Dancing Chair" decries racial discrimination and expounds the idea that, regardless of outside help, success comes to those who don't shy away from hard work, are willing and able to use creative potential to the fullest, and stand up to bigotry, injustice, and unfair judgement. "A Tale of Captive Puffins . . ." reflects upon events in the history of Russian/Soviet Jewry in the twentieth Century. To recognize historic prototypes of the fable's characters, one should read up on history of Tsarist Russia and Soviet Union, Weimar and Nazi Germany. However, it is not a prerequisite: the Tale is intended to trigger reader's interest in those chapters of history. "A Tale of Boy Nightingale . . . " is intended to make dents in prejudices against unconventional" (gay and lesbian) families. It proclaims love, respect, and loyalty as traits identifying and holding together families, asserts that friendship between children from different families is greatest hope and strongest weapon in the struggle against prejudices still prevalent in society.

Book Description
A Toast to Love and Sacrifice is the story of Simone Singer, a young, brash, female politician living three decades from now, whose quest to balance feminism and love, conviction and conformity, and life and death, are tainted by her overreaching ambition. Simone's world is an overpopulated one, where population control has necessitated a widely accepted medical procedure known as "Maladaptive Fetal Termination." Unfortunately for Simone, whose career as a politician lives and breathes according to popular opinion, the one man she loves, Jack, leads a rebel group of staunch opponents of the procedure who would go to any lengths to ensure the extinction of the "MFT." Simone's journey toward securing a life with Jack takes her on a series of challenging and often dangerous life-altering adventures. Along the way, she learns lessons about forgiveness, strength, and family that force her to re-examine her own beliefs and conquer her own preconceptions about who she is suppose to be. A Toast to Love and Sacrifice is a story for anyone who enjoys prophecy, realism, romance, or self-analysis and is especially rich reading for those seeking a unique blend of these exciting genres.
