Art in a Democracy
"Art in Democracy is a two-volume, illustrated selection of nine award-winning Roadside Theater scripts with ten critical essays. Together they trace Roadside's rural origin through its 45-year development of Appalachia's first regionally-produces body of grassroots musical drama, its experience touring 48 states and seven foreign countries, and its methodology for building diverse, inclusive audiences. The plays in Volume 1 offer a people's history of the Appalachian coalfields, from the European incursion through the American War in Vietnam. The plays in Volume 2 come from Roadside's intercultural and issue-specific theater work, including long-term collaborations with the African American Junebug Productions in New Orleans and the Puerto Rican Pregones Theater in the South Bronx, as well as with residents on both sides of the walls of prisons."--

Thorns Among the Briar Roses
This story is a true account of one family's trials and enjoyment of fostering children; some names have been changed to protect the guilty. Our family didn't choose to foster; fostering was thrust upon us. It was a very gradual process that endured for fifteen years. The need to tell this story became an obsession and was exacerbated each time I read about adults receiving light sentences for destroying innocent children's lives. I hope that anyone contemplating fostering will read this and weigh up the consequences of being ill equipped to cope with emotionally unstable humans. There are good ad bad sides to caring; really caring, for other people's children. The most commonly asked question any foster-parent hears is, "How can you love them, then give them up?" My standard answer was always the same. If we can show just one child what being loved is all about, even for a short period of time, it will give him or her a dream to follow.
