Motherhood Is Not for Wimps
"Do not read this book in public. Your guffaws will prompt the stares of strangers. Your tears will streak your mascara in a most uncomely manner. Elizabeth is that kind of writer: funny and self-deprecating, keen-eyed and sincere. Which is why, among the 600 writers we considered for our blog, she was an immediate, irresistible standout." Lilan Patri, Deputy Editor, parenting.com "The word 'barf' appears 28 times in this book. (Synonyms 'ralph' 'puke' and 'hurl' a total of 7.) The word 'coffee, ' appears thirty-three times. 'Global socio-economic politics?' -- Not a once." Meet Elizabeth, a former Congressional Press Secretary now living in a world of bad morning sickness, sleep deprivation, twisted toddler logic, and mommy friends who dye their hair with Grecian 5 Hair color for men. (It's cheap and you can paint it on your widow's peak while the kids are in the tub.) It's got everything: haddock-love, nightmares featuring Glynnis Johns, the occasional f-bomb and an answer to the age-old question of what ABBA must've seen on acid. Oh, and there's a lot of barfing.
Yamashita's Ghost
"I don't blame my executioners. I will pray God bless them. " So said General Tomoyuki Yamashita, Japan's most accomplished military commander, as he stood on the scaffold in Manila in 1946. His stoic dignity typified the man his U.S. Army defense lawyers had come to deeply respect in the first war crimes trial of World War II. Moments later, he was dead. But had justice been served? Allan A. Ryan reopens the case against Yamashita to illuminate crucial questions and controversies that have surrounded his trial and conviction, but also to deepen our understanding of broader contemporary issues-especially the limits of command accountability. The atrocities of 1944 and 1945 in the Philippines...

So Many Angels
Diane Cook’s idyllic suburban life was shattered with one phone call. As she stood five feet away from her two young sons, her husband, Jed, delivered the news: He had just been arrested. Her world suddenly in shambles, Diane could have fallen apart—but she knew that wasn’t an option. She was a mom; her responsibility was to her boys. So she vowed to herself that she would keep herself—and her children—together. And then, just when it seemed things couldn’t get any worse, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. In the months that followed, Diane struggled to deal with Jed’s scandal, raise her two sons, and handle her new medical condition, all as a suddenly single mother. But she quickly learned that, even in her darkest times, she was not alone: her community was with her every step of the way, always ready to swoop in to support her when she needed it most. Ultimately, So Many Angels is an uplifting story of resilience and strength—and a tribute to the many friends and strangers who helped Diane and her boys survive the greatest trial of their lives.
