A Flea Grows In Brooklyn $15.95 A FLEA GROWS IN BROOKLYNMichael Greenberg was born in 1945 into a working class family in Brooklyn. He grew up during a period of radical change in our country.The story begins in the naïve Fifties: “It was the Fifties. Everyone liked Ike. The Dodgers played in Brooklyn. There was an Iron Curtain and a cold war (which was much healthier than a hot one). The music that I listened to was the Platters, Johnny Mathis, Buddy Holly, and Elvis.”"My dad, Sam, was a big muscular man… He was a construction worker (a member of the carpenters’ union actually) by trade. We owned one car, a Plymouth Belvedere, and gas at the Esso gas station on Neptune Avenue in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York, where I lived was 25 cents a gallon.”We are introduced to Michael’s family: His macho father; traditional stay at home mom; and two younger siblings. The story describes Michael’s life in Coney Island in the Fifties. He learns to love sports and work hard in school. Michael also learns to fight. His father would never accept the fact that his physically undersized son was beaten up by bigger or older boys. Michael was often forced to fight the victors again or be beaten by his father.Suddenly, the story shifts. Michael’s family moves to Miami Beach, Florida. We do not see the South Beach of today, but rather a segregated South Beach populated mostly by poor Jewish families that had emigrated from the Northeast.In Miami Beach, Michael becomes a lonely soul searching for a place to belong. He works long hours to help support his family and he goes to school.During his three years in Miami Beach, Michael questionsorganized religion; has his first sexual experiences; and learns to survive in a sometimes hostile world. His accomplishments in school and sports would never be good enough to satisfy his father.Michael meets girls from the wealthier side of town. They make him feel inferior and |

Ask Me Again Tomorrow: A Life in Progress $9.99 From her fame as the Oscar-winning actress who uttered the famous line in Moonstruck, “I know who I am,” to her lauded role as Mrs. Madrigal, the landlord of indeterminate gender in Tales of the City, to being the cousin of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, Olympia Dukakis has captured the imagination of a broad audience. Known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension, and her ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art, she is a role model to women of all ages.Olympia Dukakis’s award-winning role in Moonstruck made her a household name, but before that overnight success came twenty-eight years of hard work. For nineteen of those years, she was an integral part of running the Whole Theatre Company in Montclair, New Jersey, while she and her husband raised their three children. She managed to “have it all” — career, family, home — before having it all became fashionable (even if she did root for the wrong team at her sons’ soccer games — “We’re in the blue shirts, Mom”). She also managed to care for her aging mother, who developed Alzheimer’s and moved into the family home, completing Olympia’s three-generation family.In Ask Me Again Tomorrow, this internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles with addiction and her volatile personal relationships, and the efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve excellence in her professional calling. A story told with honesty, humor, and the sincere desire to be shared, Ask Me Again Tomorrow is more than acelebrity memoir — it’s a book that will endure.During a career that has spanned more than forty years, Olympia Dukakis has worked as an actress, director, producer, teacher, and activist. She received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the New York Film Critics Award, the Los |

Being Born: The Doula’s Role $5.94 #A doula is a healthcare professional who offers educational, physical, emotional and practical support to a pregnant woman — before, during and after the birth of her child. Whether the birth takes place with a doctor in a hospital or birthing center, or at home with a midwife, a doula is always a valuable asset to any birth team. Research confirms that the support of a doula throughout pregnancy optimizes a woman’s chances of having a healthier birth experience as well as a healthier newborn.Into Waiting Hands is a picture book for expectant parents and their young children. It gives a warm and friendly overview of a doula’s role, stressing the advantages of a doula’s help. When read to younger siblings, it is a source of comfort to those who wonder about all the people involved when mom is “having a baby.” This book celebrates birth – as a natural and whole-family experience. Both its text and images present the subject clearly, but in child-appropriate language. It’s simple presentation of a doula’s role make Waiting Hands an invaluable resource for childbirth educators to use with teenage mothers and with families for whom English is a second language.This book is unique – fills an important need. No simple picture-book on the subject of doulas is currently in print. Many adult books discuss the work of the doula in detail, there is nothing for children or less sophisticated readers. Unlike most books on childbirth (for children or adults) Waiting Hands acknowledges that birth takes place in a variety of settings with a variety of caregivers – not just in hospitals with doctors, which is a peculiarly deep seated tradition of the United States.The author is currently practicing as a doula, and has been involved in the birthing community for the past twenty years. She has kept me current with trends and changes over the years through the media, conference attendance, personal study, and in conversations with families in her role of doula |

Beside Every Successful Man: A Woman’s Guide to Having It All $13.99 “There is a reason this book is titled beside every successful man rather than behind him. It is about taking the best part of the progress women have made and combining it with age-old wisdom to create a more satisfying future for both you and your husband. The wives who were the models for this book are not put-upon ‘little women.’ They didn’t abandon their own ambitions and desires by helping their husbands achieve theirs. They fulfilled them. Their service isn’t the same thing as subservience—they stand beside their husbands as equal partners. . . . This book is about real women who practiced simple though sometimes challenging principles to help their husbands achieve results that benefited their entire family. . . . What you’re about to read won’t tell you what you should want. It will tell you how to get what you do want.”—from the author’s introduction to Beside Every Successful Man“Stay-at-home wife”? “Stay-at-home mom”? In our parents’ day, those labels were either proudly worn or grudgingly accepted, but to nearly everyone they meant the same thing: a woman whose lifestyle involved running the household, preparing the meals, and tending to her husband and kids.What has happened since? Station wagons have yielded to sport-utility hybrids, technology has arrived with a myriad of new ways to stay connected, and a new army of educated, highly skilled women has reinvented—and reembraced—“stay at home.”Today’s female “stay-at-homer” tends to be much more highly educated and work-credentialed, which opens up exciting possibilities, chief among them the opportunity to be her husband’s most important career partner, mentoring and advising him to reach a level of success he wouldn’t achieve otherwise.The unexpected dividends? Here, journalist and researcher Megan Basham persuasively argues |

Beside Every Successful Man: Getting the Life You Want by Helping Your Husband Get Ahead $15 Strengthen family bonds, boost family income, and acquire a sense of purpose by helping your husband achieve his career dreams.Terms like “stay-at-home wife” and “stay-at-home mom” once meant a woman whose lifestyle involved running the household, preparing the meals, and tending to her husband and kids. But today, a new army of educated, highly skilled women has completely reinvented–and re-embraced–the “stay-at-home” role. Far from being June Cleaver, today’s female “stay-at-homers” tend to be highly educated and work-credentialed, which opens up exciting possibilities–among them the opportunity to be her husband’s most important career partner, mentoring and advising him to reach a level of success he wouldn’t achieve otherwise. Profiling a wide array of smart, driven women who’ve found intellectual and spiritual satisfaction by assuring their husbands’ success, journalist and researcher Megan Basham shows how those who forgo a second paycheck and make home “command central” can not only strengthen their marriage, but also–eventually–secure a higher income.One part manifesto, three parts hands-on prescriptive advice, this book is one of the most provocative and convincing ever written on the topic of women and work–a manual that, with its precise tips, will speed women toward the balance they seek. “There’s food for thought here for any wife, including one who has her own career.” —Claudia Anderson, managing editor, the Weekly Standard |

Chasing Normal $5.99 Mieka Baker just wants to be normal. It’s tough enough that her mom left a few years ago and that her artist dad decorates the house solely with “treasures” from the “vintage” store (read: all their furniture is made out of plastic) but it’s just too much when Mieka and her dad have to leave Boston to go to spend the summer with her sick grandmother in Texas—someone Mieka has never met. Grandma Baker isn’t just brutally honest, she’s brutal. She tells Mieka she’s fat, frumpy, and basically unwanted. It’s all too much to handle, especially when she has to stay with her Aunt Kate’s family. The most normal family ever. Aunt Kate stays at home with the kids (where IS Mieka’s mom anyway?), Uncle Dave wears a suit to work, cousin Mark is a genius and Greta—well, she’s Mieka’s age but that’s where the similarity ends. She’s blond, beautiful, fit, friendly, popular and practically perfect.But as the summer progresses and Mieka learns a thing or two about herself (hey, she can actually learn to enjoy herself at camp, even if it is Bible camp and she happens to be a bit chubbier than every other camper there) and her family members she realizes that there’s no such thing as normal. That even though she and her dad aren’t a conventional family and aren’t rich and don’t go to church they are incredibly lucky to have each other and to have love. And even the perfect kids seem to be chasing normal too. |

Chasing Superwoman: A Working Mom’s Adventures in Life and Faith $14.99 A funny, intelligent, relevant exploration of living out your faith while juggling home and career.The Christian community tends to operate under the assumption that the only women attending church are traditional stay-at-home moms. But in truth, more than 75% of mothers with school-age children work outside the home. Chasing Superwoman gives these working mothers what they’ve been craving—a funny, intelligent, relevant exploration of what it means to live out a vibrant faith amidst the many demands placed on their time and energy. Chasing Superwoman provides a much needed dialogue (not a formula) about the complex spiritual struggle of the working mother, plus a lot of laughter and encouragement for working women to embrace their busy life and trust God’s grace for getting it all done. |

Checking Up on Daddy! $10.95 Family reading from a father’s voice is an area of children’s books that I feel has been overlooked. My book, Checking up on Daddy, reveals a jubilant and endearing concept in literature for children ages two to four years. Checking up on Daddywas spawned by the “handoff” that many dads experience upon their return home from a long workday. For those who may not know, the handoff is the moment when tired Mom meets Dad at the front door to pass the child along. During the first year in caring for my son, Ethan, the handoff was accompanied by a rhythmic verse my wife would chant while following me around the house. At the very core, this story embraces the magic of those fleeting moments one experiences with an infant before the next stage of childhood arrives.My images combine a traditional, off-beat pen-and-ink style for line quality with digital ink and color. This unique style serves to illuminate the warmth and lighthearted energy of the story and its characters.My son’s love for books is testimony to how vital the ritual of family reading is in the fledgling years of child development. It is my hope that Checking up on Daddywill inspire parents to seize those passing yet vital moments with their children.Adam J. Roth is a Southern California-based writer and illustrator.

He is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and presently lives in Pasadena with his wife and son.Adam Roth has created a book that captures the joys and overwhelming love of a parent for their child. It should be a “must read” for new parents. Not just for themselves, but for them to read to the children. It will help demonstrate just how much this love bonds families together.
