Speechless
At the age of 43, Jennifer Gordon suffered a debilitating stroke that robbed her of the power of speech. What was it like for an intelligent, articulate, imaginative woman to find herself in a world where she could no longer communicate? Speechless tells this story. It describes the often puzzling symptoms leading to the stroke; the shock, then denial, then acceptance of the stroke itself; the periods of hostitalisation and rehabilitation and the long journey back to a 'normal' life. The author experiences despair at being dependent on others; resentment at being judged because she is different; frustration at the need for intense concentration to do even simple things; grief as she becomes ...
Victoriana
Victoriana is a beautiful and lush collection of the mixed media collage art of Jennifer Anne Gordon.

Jennifer's love for all things vintage, especially the late Victorian and Edwardian Eras is combined with her passion for performance, circus girls, steampunk and burlesque came together to create the pieces collected here. Her work is collected throughout the world. This collected ...

The Broken Girl
Author Jennifer Gordon has always possessed a desire to help those facing the effects of all types of abuse: physical, sexual and emotional. In her novel, "The Broken Girl" (ISBN 1456379577), she seeks to illustrate how victims often turn their anger and pain inwards, leading to feelings of shame, guilt, hopelessness, and self-loathing. Intended for teenage victims of abuse, Gordon's book aims to offer victims the opportunity for self-forgiveness and recovery. Fourteen-year old Lailie remembers a time when she was happy, before she believes she did something terrible, something so terrible that she has shut it out of her memory. But her past comes flooding back to her when Lailie encounters ...

Gordon's book is designed to help women move forward with more confidence, joy, and gratitude. It tells the story of 'everywoman' and is perfect for the busy woman who, opening it at random, can find refreshment in a few minutes.
Terrible Tales 2
Just when Sir Jasper Gowlings thinks it is safe to return to his humble abode, he is horrified to find the terrifying and bad-tempered old hag Felicitatus Miserius waiting for him—with yet another collection of blood-curdling fairy tales. Frozen with fear, Sir Gowlings knows he has no choice, for those who fail to learn from the messages contained within the tome will be doomed. As he begins to turn the yellowed pages, Gowlings knows his future is at stake. Once upon a time, when witches and goblins still roamed the world and all the animals chatted amicably, a frog promises to do anything to win the hand of his fair lady. A spoiled boy must sell his cow in order to buy a pair of ruby red designer shoes, and a little swan who looks more like a goose must prove to all the other feathered creatures and the king that he is the best swan around. Unfortunately, none of the characters anticipate the surprises that await them. Terrible Tales 2 is a delicious, zany collection of upside-down fairy tales sure to delight both children and the young-at-heart with their unmistakable life lessons and secrets to happiness, love, and success.
The Next Upsurge
The U.S. labor movement may be on the verge of massive growth, according to Dan Clawson. He argues that unions don't grow slowly and incrementally, but rather in bursts. Even if the AFL-CIO could organize twice as many members per year as it now does, it would take thirty years to return to the levels of union membership that existed when Ronald Reagan was elected president. In contrast, labor membership more than quadrupled in the years from 1934 to 1945. For there to be a new upsurge, Clawson asserts, labor must fuse with social movements concerned with race, gender, and global justice.The new forms may create a labor movement that breaks down the boundaries between "union" and "community"...
