An Earlier Life
How many lives do we create in one lifetime? In her latest collection of innovative, shape-shifting essays, Brenda Miller evolves through childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood to enter the wry maturity of middle age. Whether traveling from synagogue to sweat lodge, from the Arizona desert to a communal hot springs in California, she navigates the expectations placed on young girls and women at every turn. She finds guidance in her four major creeds (Judaism, Home Improvement, the Grateful Dead, and Rescue Dogs), while charting a course toward an authentic life. Each stage demands its own form, its own story, sometimes as a means of survival: "No straight line between here and there, be...

An accessible and personable guide to writing creative nonfiction
God's Unfailing Love
Do you, like most of us, fight the battle of fear of the unknown, doubt, distrust, and other destructive thoughts and attitudes? Do you need to read about real-life experiences where God reveals His "unfailing love" and fights the daily battles of an ordinary person, like you? Let God reveal to you the ways that He loves you through my experiences as I allowed God to speak to me through His Word and inspirations. His Word truly replaces fear with faith, rejection with love. I pray that you will be encouraged and strengthened in your faith and choose to also seek God's face daily through meditating on His Word.
The Kid Code
This book and its one hundred 30 Second parenting strategies take the anger and confusion out of parenting and bring us back to sanity and love as a natural response - no pretending, and no (or less) hollering, complaining, demanding and mumbling nasty stuff under our breath. When used long-term, long-term patience and wisdom show up, and short-term craziness vanishes; or at least makes fewer, less stressful appearances. When you use these strategies, you'll find that they give you and your kids 'right now relief'. To go from chaos to calmness in 30 seconds is nothing less than a miracle!
Listening Against the Stone
"Listening Against the Stone brings together selections spanning the breadth of the work of Brenda Miller, including six essays that have won the Pushcart Prize. These deeply personal essays paint a picture of how her sense of spirituality has evolved and shifted through the years: always rooted in a strong desire for connection. Together, they tell the story of a single woman making her way, stumbling but always seeking out touchstones-a dog, a friend, a painting, a tree-to help her gain her true bearings."--Publisher's website.
Blessing Mistakes
When you bless mistakes instead of being stressed by them, you dissolve a lot of turmoil in your head—and in your home. This book offers a host of connection-creating, stressreducing strategies that transform you from grumpy to grateful and point you back to your peaceful and playful nature. With a heartwarming sense of humor, Brenda helps you unfriend anger—simply because you don’t need it anymore. Dissolving anger makes space for Grace as your new operating system, and leaves you genuinely able to show yourself and others kindness when a mistake is made. Brenda also includes three stories from her children’s book, Mr. Upalupagus’s Secret Secrets to help you teach your kids how to bless mistakes and shoo away anger. Praise for Blessing Mistakes “I went from panicked to peaceful in a matter of seconds when I applied this simple strategy.” —Julie Veresh, Innate Dynamics “Blessing Mistakes is a game changer for me. Talk. About. Relief.” —Janna Glasman, Franklin Method Educator
Telephone: Essays in Two Voices
Literary Nonfiction. "TELEPHONE is, for me, a stellar example of what can be achieved in collaborative work where two voices figure out how to link connective threads that bring out the best in each of their words, images, and narrative flourishes. This is a real gift of a book, one I hope to keep learning from."--Hanif Abdurraqib "Miller and Wade's TELEPHONE is a polyphonic emergency. These divinely nostalgic and politely oracular essays,--are they essays? watch them essai,--pursue the maximum boundaries of genre, and there, in the peripheries, together, we reach into our pockets to read their decoded message: I love."--Lily Hoang "Wade and Miller's collaborative essay collection, TELEPHONE...

Symphonic Poem
For me, there is no distinction between life and art. Folk art has to do with families and communities. It's timeless. It permeates the soul. It's the way people do things that's passed from generation to generation.
