Mother Mason
Mother Mason is a devoted wife, mother, and townswoman. She dotes on her four rowdy children and is involved with the library board and many women's clubs. Can Molly Mason grab some time for herself? Or will it all fall to pieces? Excerpt: "Mother sat in front of her Circassian walnut dressing table, her f--, no, plump form enveloped in lavender and green, chrysanthemum-covered, stork-bordered kimono, and surveyed herself in the glass. Mother was Mrs. Henry Y. Mason, and in Springtown, Nebraska, when one says "Henry Y." it conveys, proportionately, the same significance that it carries when the rest of the world says "John D."

It's Never Over
Completed in 1930 while the author was living in Paris--imbibing and boxing with James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway--this novel has violence at its core. The story opens with the hanging of an ex-World War I soldier for involuntary murder. First and foremost, though, it is a story of love--a love haunted by that hanging.
Talk About Writing
Talk about Writing: The Tutoring Strategies of Experienced Writing Center Tutors offers a book-length empirical study of the discourse between experienced tutors and student writers in satisfactory conferences. The study uses a research-driven, iteratively tested framework to help writing center directors, tutors, writing program administrators, rhetoric and composition researchers, first-year composition instructors, and others interested in talk about writing to systematically analyze tutors’ talk and to use that analysis to train new tutors. The book strives toward two main goals: to provide an analytical research and assessment tool—the coding scheme—that other researchers can use to understand writing center tutor talk and to provide a close, empirical analysis of experienced tutor talk that can facilitate tutor training. The study details tutors’ use of three categories of tutoring strategies—instruction, cognitive scaffolding, and motivational scaffolding—at macro- and microlevels and results in practical recommendations for improving tutor training.
Franklin Park Tragedy, The: A Forgotten Story of Racial Injustice in New Jersey
On March 1, 1894, two African American men broke into a home in rural Franklin Park and murdered a white woman and her daughter before her husband fought and killed the attackers. The newspapers called it the "Franklin Park Tragedy," and the story captivated public attention nationally and abroad. Another tragedy came afterward, with the racist forced expulsion of many local African American residents. Author Brian Armstrong tells the shocking story of this "sundown town" and how it evolved into the diverse community that exists today.
