Fabulous in Flats
My son looked at me and my accoutrements with skepticism through narrowed eyes. This would be the son with the tattoo between his shoulder blades, the hand-rolled cigarette, the assortment of earrings, and the riot of curls that—at the right length—give him a jaunty, Viva la Revolución Che Guevara vibe. He's a hard one to impress when it comes to unorthodoxy. “Mom, you look like you're ready to break into a chemical plant.” From out of the mouths of babes...As though adjusting to courtrooms, spike heels and a chainsaw after forty weren't enough… Following in the high-heeled footsteps of Mary T. Wagner's two earlier inspiring and award-winning essay collections, "Fabulous in Flats"...
Mary and Mr Eliot
In 1938 T.S. Eliot struck up a friendship with Mary Trevelyan, a passionately curious woman and intrepid traveller. Their relationship was cosy and domestic - characterised by churchgoing, record-playing, day trips with Mary at the wheel or Eliot in his rolled shirt-sleeves cooking up sausages for dinner. Over the years, Mary came to believe that their friendship might lead to something more . . . but their journey together did not end as she would have hoped. Trevelyan left a unique document - of diaries, letters and pictures - charting their twenty-year-long relationship in her vivid prose. Erica Wagner has brought this untold story together for the first time. Mary and Mr Eliot is a revelatory tale of joy, misunderstanding and betrayal that feels utterly modern and deeply human.
Girlz 'n the Hood
Girlz in the Hood is the unsentimental, moving, and surprisingly humorous account of a girl and her ten siblings who grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Mary's mother was a fierce matriarch, a single mom who raised eleven children with the help of welfare checks and a fire arm hidden in her bra. Drugs, guns, and pregnancies were everyday occurrences, but Mary and her siblings took it all in stride, spying on the grown-ups, playing in the streets, and helping to take care of the new babies when they were born. The dubious yet colorful cast of characters that came into their lives (the Jehovah Witnesses, the whores, the addicts, the "fathers"), and the never-ending ser...
For the Love of God
From childhood, John Wagner struggled with dyslexia, ADHD and severe environmental allergies. His young adulthood was marked by the additions of multiple food allergies, ulcerative colitis, and Lyme Disease. Naturally, these physical handicaps led to intense feelings of inadequacy. John had always known Jesus. He was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church as an infant, attended Sunday Mass with his family every week, and vividly recalls a moment as a young boy when, in his mind's eye, he saw Jesus lovingly holding him in His lap. The dichotomy of John's faith and his many illnesses caused him to question God many times throughout his life, and sometimes even be extremely angry at Him. Yet n...
