Seven Cats and the Art of Living
This account of Jo Coudert's life in New York and New Jersey describes living with seven cats and one dog. Through observing their behaviour, she draws parallels and conclusions about human nature. The anecdotes feature all seven cats and provide insights into ways of leading a more contented life. For example, a safe life with no risks may seem sensible, but a cat imprisoned indoors to prevent it being run over will be miserable; the author deduces adventure is good for the soul. Time spent watching Trot, proudly cleaning himself taught her to develop more pride in her own appearance and self; she stopped wearing tatty clothes, improved her posture and found herself working more efficiently.

The Black Girl Next Door
A powerful, beautifully written memoir about coming of age as a black girl in an exclusive white suburb in "integrated," post-Civil Rights California in the 1970s and 1980s. At six years of age, after winning a foot race against a white classmate, Jennifer Baszile was humiliated to hear her classmate explain that black people "have something in their feet to make them run faster than white people." When she asked her teacher about it, it was confirmed as true. The next morning, Jennifer's father accompanied her to school, careful to "assert himself as an informed and concerned parent and not simply a big, black, dangerous man in a first-grade classroom." This was the first of many skirmishes...
