BODY, MIND & SPIRIT “Life is a divine symphony with a lot of harmony we call happiness and a lot of dissonance we call pain and suffering, all under the direction of the Conductor who is the only one who knows the entire score.” —Harry Samuels Connections is a sequel to author Harry Samuels’ highly acclaimed: Beshert: True Stories of Connections and Crossroads: Chance or Destiny. His books are intriguing and memorable collections of stories of people meeting unexpectedly, with the resulting impact on their lives. Samuels uses his stories to encourage reflection on whether our experiences are impacted solely by coincidences or laws of probability. Through Connections, he strives to increase our awareness of the synchronicities we each encounter in our daily lives and how they influence our choices. “Your books are thought provoking.” — Elie Wiesel
In The House of Marriage, Erin Hanusa searches ruthlessly and compassionately for deep and strange truth in a world we only believe we know. Whether set in a field in Tennessee, the lunar beauty of Egypt's White Desert, or a rain-soaked Plymouth on a midwestern highway, Hanusa's passionate, candid verse reconciles longing with understanding. The opening poems deal with objects close and familiar: animals, landscapes, and the body. Later poems trace an arc of familial betrayal and forgiveness, while others spiral through lyric, erotic mystery. Yet each of these transcendent poems is ultimately concerned with "knowing the finite ways we possess / to love, / in learning them all." With this remarkable debut, Hanusa affirms her place among America's most promising young poets. From "The House of Marriage" No other proof or clue remains,no photographs, no bed.This place is as fearfulas they said.I want to see themmove through it like water,luscious and damaging,toward the momentthat made me.
"Ida Pruitt, born of American missionaries and raised in a rural Chinese village at the end of the nineteenth century, witnessed almost a century of China's revolutionary upheavals. She was the first Director of Social Service at the Peking Union Medical College, where she established social casework in China. She later served as the executive secretary of the American Committee in Support of the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives, the only U.S. aid agency to provide support to both Nationalist and Communist regions during the Chinese Civil War. She was also one of the early advocates for U.S. diplomatic recognition of the People's Republic of China. Her two notable books, A Daughter of Han: the Autobiography of a Chinese Working Woman, Ning Lao T'ait'ai and Old Madam Yin: A Memoir of Peking, 19261938, have become classics in Chinese Studies and Women's Studies." -- Publisher's description.
