To Walk It Is to See It
A memoir that shares what happens when Kathy Elkind, a curious woman about to enter the last third of her life, decides to take a long walk-- 1,400 miles--across Europe with her husband of almost thirty years. Will her body and relationship make it to the end?
To Walk It Is To See It
In 2018, Kathy Elkind and her husband decided to take a grown-up “gap year” in Europe and walk the 1,400-mile Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) across The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. At fifty-seven, Kathy has chosen comfort over hardship: Unlike the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Coast Trail, the GR5 winds from village to village instead of campsite to campsite. She and Jim get to indulge in warm beds and delicious regional food every night and croissants in the mornings. The GR5 is not all comfort. Walking day after day for ninety-eight days bring sickness, accommodation struggles, language barriers, and storm-shrouded mountains in the Alps. Meanwhile, Kathy finds hersel...
The Twenty
Great for fans of: Suzanne Roberts’s Almost Somewhere, Juliana Buhring’s This Road I Ride. Marianne Bohr and her husband, about to turn sixty, are restless for adventure. They decide on an extended, desolate trek across the French island of Corsica—the GR20, Europe’s toughest long-distance footpath—to challenge what it means to grow old. Part travelogue, part buddy story, part memoir, The Twenty is a journey across a rugged island of stunning beauty little known outside Europe. From a chubby, non-athletic child, Bohr grew into a fit, athletic person with an “I’ll show them” attitude. But hiking The Twenty forces her to transform a lifetime of hard-won achievements into accept...

Light in Bandaged Places
Light in Bandaged Places shows us the harm done when an older man in a position of power convinces a child that sex with him is alright because he loves her. This poignant story takes us through the long-term wounding of such abuse—and the multifaceted path of healing. As a lonely girl coming of age in the 1970s, Liz has every reason to believe her 8th-grade teacher is in love with her. Because the sex isn’t physically violent and is wrapped in a message of love, she learns to exchange sex for attention. It feels like love, after all. But years later, as an adult, emotional closeness eludes Liz. Even after marrying a sensitive, caring man, she is walled off. Struggling through confusing ...
Art in the Time of Unbearable Crisis
Art keeps good alive in the worst of times. In the face of ugliness, pain, and death, it’s art that has the power to open us all to a healing imagining of new possibility; it’s art that whispers to the collective that even in the ashes of loss, life always grows again. That’s why right now, in this tumultuous time of war and pandemic, we need poets more than we need politicians. In response to the multitude of global crises we’re currently experiencing, editor Stefanie Raffelock put out a much-needed call to her writing community for art to uplift and inform the world, and the authors of She Writes Press answered. Art in the Time of Unbearable Crisis—a sometimes comforting, sometim...

Describing Talk
How does talk contribute to relationships between people? This concise introduction presents a coding system that analyzes the function of talk using a taxonomy of verbal response modes (VRMs>. Together with its associated computer disk, Describing Talk offers a self-contained coder training program. Stiles presents the development of the taxonomy, its conceptual underpinnings, and examples from current research. He also fully details how to apply the VRM system to the classification of speech acts in any sort of natural discourse. Chapters 1 through 4 describe the taxonomy's background and context, and Chapters 5 through 10 present the system and serve as a manual for VRM classification. The disk, which can be used on IBM-compatible computers, introduces novices to the principles of VRM coding.

Such an unequivocally positive attitude is solidly based on th...
