"Witness to Integrity details the dispute in the 1960s of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters (I.H.M.) with James Francis McIntyre, the Cardinal Archbishop of Los Angeles. The book is a dramatic account of a community of women against intransigent church authorities. Written in a first-person account by Anita M. Caspary, who led the community during this episode in the history of American Catholicism, she recounts the challenges, personalities, betrayal and courage of the IHMs during this time of renewal called for by Vatican II."--Outside back cover.

A stray cat fights a nightly battle to protect his adopted family from a terrible evil. These eleven stories illuminate the real and the fantastic, and will be welcomed with great joy by Neil Gaiman's many fans as well as by readers coming to his work for the first time.
Collection of eight short stories by the author observing absurdity that abounds in the world.
Revels in the complexities of female identity and American culture. The collection's sixteen original essays move beyond conventional discussions of hippie chicks and Weatherwomen to examine the diverse lives of women who helped to shape religion, sports, literature, and music, among other aspects of the cultural hodgepodge known as the sixties. From familiar names like Yoko Ono, Carole King, and Joan Baez to lesser-known figures like Anita Caspary and Barbara Deming, the women represent a variety of points on the celebrity and feminist spectrums. The book traces women who sought to break into "male" fields, women whose personae and work link the radical sixties to earlier cultural traditions, and those who consciously confronted power structures and demanded change. – from publisher information.
