Book Description
Ceridwen Gault—disaster witch extraordinaire. And right now, an involuntary guest in another dimension. Offering herself as a sacrifice to free her daughter from a kidnapping should have been a no-brainer, and it was. Only now Ceri finds herself trapped in a prison dimension, trapped with a magical asshat who is just as desperate to free himself as she is to be out of there. One problem: he actually deserves to be there. Second? There’s a bunch of other people trapped there who don’t deserve to be. Ceri doesn’t want to free he-who-definitely-should-not-be-her-problem. He thinks she’s capable of breaking the magic keeping him there, which should make her feel special but really only makes her feel even more trapped. Now her choice is simple: will she do whatever it takes to save herself and the innocents in this place, or will she choose the greater good by not unleashing an ancient power that could destroy everything she loves in her world?
Why We Can't Sleep
Author: Ada Calhoun
Publisher: Grove Press
ISBN: 0802147860
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
The acclaimed author explores the hidden crises of Gen X women in this “engaging hybrid of first-person confession, reportage [and] pop culture analysis” (The New Republic). Ada Calhoun was married with children and a good career—and yet she was miserable. She thought she had no right to complain until she realized how many other Generation X women felt the same way. What could be behind this troubling trend? To find out, Calhoun delved into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw that Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age—problems that were being largely overlooked. Calhoun spoke with women across America who were part of the generation raised to “have it all.” She found that most were exhausted, terrified about money, under-employed, and overwhelmed. And instead of being heard, they were being told to lean in, take “me-time,” or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. In Why We Can’t Sleep, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X’s predicament. She offers practical advice on how to ourselves out of the abyss—and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring, empowering, and essential reading for all middle-aged women, and anyone who hopes to understand them.

Midlife
Author: Elinor Carucci
Publisher: The Monacelli Press, LLC
ISBN: 158093529X
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
From acclaimed photographer Elinor Carucci, a vivid chronicle of one woman's passage through aging, family, illness, and intimacy. It is a period in life that is universal, at some point, to everyone, yet in our day-to-day and cultural dialogue, nearly invisible. Midlife is a moving and empathetic portrait of an artist at the point in her life when inexorable change is more apparent than ever. Elinor Carucci, whose work has been collected in the previous acclaimed volumes Closer (2002, 2009) and Mother (2013), continues her immersive and close-up examination of her own life in this volume, portraying this moment in vibrant detail. As one of the most autobiographically rigorous photographers of her generation, Carucci recruits and revisits the same members of her family that we have seen since her work gained prominence two decades ago. Even as we observe telling details--graying hair, the pressures and joys of marriage, episodes of pronounced illness, the evolution of her aging parents' roles as grandparents, her children's increasing independence--we are invited to reflect on the experiences that we all share contending with the challenges of life, love, and change.

Pages : 158
Book Description
Something is stirring deep within the twins’ unearthed cauldron…and no, it’s not Bertha’s homemade moonshine. Lela and Mae finally found their tribe. After their magic trickles over to other granny witch descendants in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, now they have a coven and a home. Little do they know that the same magical source that supplies them with their powers can also make them deathly ill. Now they’re struggling to offload their magic and share it with volunteers within their coven…even the men. Men with shiny, new magical powers? Surely nothing could go awry. In the midst of the twins’ magical conundrums, a ghost from their family’s Scottish past keeps popping out of the cauldron like a genie from a lamp. She’s returned to issue a warning: the coins that Lela and Mae found on their family’s ancestral farm can’t be used by them, or anyone else, lest they be cursed for eternity. What’s the worst that could happen? Eternal curses? Pfft. Why not? When the coins go missing, the twins find themselves in a race against time to recover them before they are doomed to the same, unfortunate fate as their ancestor. Meanwhile, Lela is intrigued by the professor’s dark and handsome brother, Joseph, who also just happens to have an adorable four-year-old daughter named Eleanor. When an accident sends Eleanor directly to the ER, can Lela use her powers to save her? Or will her true identity push her new love interest away?
