White Rabbit
"It is December 1 in southern California, a White Rabbit day, and Ruth, eighty-eight years old, is seeing things. Her husband, Henry - King of the Boobs - is no help, of course, and her granddaughter is shacking up with a maniac against Ruth's best advice. But that furry white bunny hiphopping across her field of vision keeps snickering "Time!" and Ruth has to wonder if hers is up." "Tracking her pinball course through her final day on earth, White Rabbit follows Ruth's progress minute by minute as she devises ever odder routines for coping with the breakdown of her household appliances and her own vital organs and her faith in romantic love. Opening a window onto Ruth's past are her heartbreaking memories of the men in her life, from her withholding first husband to goony, hopeless Henry, who cannot understand her despite his steadfast loyalty."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Helen Hunt Jackson
Ramona, continuously in print for over a century, has become a cultural icon, but Jackson's prolific career left us with much more, notably her achievements as a prose writer and her work as an early activist on behalf of Native Americans. This long-overdue biography of Jackson's remarkable life and times reintroduces a distinguished figure in American letters and restores Helen Hunt Jackson to her rightful place in history.".
