Unpacking Paula
This is not a novel. It is a collection of very short essays and memories. A novel is a commitment of time and patience. Like a marriage. These are more like going steady with a good friend with a short attention span. Think of it as pointillist writing. A collection such as this is valuable when waiting in line at the DMV, while waiting for your mani/pedi to dry, while waiting period. For anything. The doctor, the dentist. Godot. For that watched pot that is never going to boil. These essays are not even published in chronological order. They are published in alphabetical order. They are a crazy quilt of wit and heartbreak written by an old woman who is rather a crazy quilt herself. Her name is Paula Walborsky.
Unpacking Paula
This is Not a Sequel It is a shame I do not write novels. I could call this second collection something like The Son of Unpacking Paula. Or The Ghost of the Son of Unpacking Paula Returns for Volume 4, even though there is no volume four. So, how is Volume 2 different from Volume 1? All new essays. No repeats. More previously undisclosed memories. How are the two volumes the same? Same firmly held opinions, same format, alphabetically arranged. Great for speed reading and interminable waiting. She's baaaack.
Unpacking Paula
STOP! This is Volume 3 of Unpacking Paula and it is NOT a sequel to books 1 and 2. No sequels. Just more of the essays, memories, opinions you found in the earlier books. I have been writing for years, and was a local commentator on WFSU's NPR. I am a military brat. I have taught the deaf, integrated an all black school in Thomasville, GA, been a family law attorney, a step-mother, grandmother, daughter and sister. I am Jewish. Some of these essays are funny, some poignant. All of them are genuinely heartfelt.
The Abused Child in Search of Safety
Longtime Presbyterian layperson, Dr. Kent S. Miller, emeritus professor of psychology at the Florida State University, Tallahassee, who had spent much of his professional life focused on mental disability law and the relations between the mental health and the criminal justice systems, decided to volunteer for a couple years in the Department of Children and Families in Florida to try to understand why they were getting such bad press. This book is a result of this time spent with the Florida DCF and is an analysis of the current crisis in the child welfare scene based on the author's involvement with a program that has been racked with the scandals of missing and murdered children. If as Christians we are to care for the little ones and our neighbors, then Dr. Milller posits that we must address this concern immediately for we are sabotaging our nation's future by abandoning our at-risk children--to say nothing of incurring the wrath of our Lord who demonstrated a preferential option for children--as well as for the poor.

The Supreme Court of Florida
“A fascinating judicial study. The importance of the modern high court’s docket is so thoroughly and expertly chronicled in this book: reapportionment, courtroom cameras, personal injury, family law, environmental law, capital punishment, criminal justice, and equal justice under law.”—Thomas E. Baker, coauthor of Appellate Courts: Structures, Functions, Processes, and Personnel “A highly readable portrait of a crucial time in the history of the state high court. It brings to life the jurists and lawyers who contributed so much to contemporary Florida law.”—Mary Ziegler, author of After Roe: The Lost History of the Abortion Debate “A richly sourced, thoroughly researched, and...
