Unbound: The Life and Art of Judith Scott
A moving and powerful introduction to the life and art of renowned artist, Judith Scott, as told by her twin sister, Joyce Scott and illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist, Melissa Sweet. Judith Scott was born with Down syndrome. She was deaf, and never learned to speak. She was also a talented artist. Judith was institutionalized until her sister Joyce reunited with her and enrolled her in an art class. Judith went on to become an artist of renown with her work displayed in museums and galleries around the world. Poignantly told by Joyce Scott in collaboration with Brie Spangler and Melissa Sweet and beautifully illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist, Melissa Sweet, Unbound is inspiring and warm, showing us that we can soar beyond our perceived limitations and accomplish something extraordinary.
Unzertrennlich
Die Schwestern Joyce und Judith verbindet von Geburt an ein enges Band, als wären sie eine Person. Doch es gibt einen entscheidenden Unterschied: Judith hat das Down-Syndrom, und sie spricht nicht. Den Mädchen ist dieser Unterschied egal. Sie wissen instinktiv, was die andere denkt und fühlt und wie es ihr geht. Sie teilen alles und schlafen gemeinsam in einem Bett. Doch eines Morgens, als Joyce aufwacht, ist Judith spurlos verschwunden. Dies ist die unglaubliche, wahre Geschichte von zwei Schwestern, die gegen ihren Willen getrennt und erst nach über dreißig Jahren wieder vereint werden. Sie handelt von Liebe und Verrat, von Unmenschlichkeit und großer Zuwendung – und der späten und unerwarteten Geburt einer großen Künstlerin.

You Must Remember This
From Joyce Carol Oates, the bestselling author of We Were the Mulvaneys, comes an epic family novel about the division between the permissible and the forbidden, between ordinary life and the secret places of the heart. Set in an industrial, working-class town in upstate New York, You Must Remember This is the story of the Stevicks: two parents trapped in a frustrating marriage; their idealistic, ambitious son, and fifteen-year-old Enid Maria, who becomes caught up in a secret sexual relationship with her uncle Felix, a professional boxer twice her age. A true and empathetic tale that merges love and violence, it is also a brilliant re-creation of a decade that worshiped conformity, one that tells of lives that break every convention in the search for meaning and fulfillment.
