Hardback. Zustand: Good. Here is a look at more than 300 remarkable, "forgotten" women whose accomplishments or intriguing life choices have gone unheralded--women who were, as Germaine Greer put it, "far more daring than we would need to be now, who ventured all and gained perhaps a little, but survived".

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Acclaimed novelist and nationally recognized family expert Lynne Griffin returns with Sea Escape--an emotional, beautifully imagined story inspired by the author's family letters about the ties that bind mothers and daughters. Laura Martinez is wedged in the middle place, grappling with her busy life as a nurse, wife, and devoted mom to her two young children when her estranged mother, Helen, suffers a devastating stroke. In a desperate attempt to lure her mother into choosing life, Laura goes to Sea Escape, the pristine beach home that Helen took refuge in after the death of her beloved husband, Joseph. There, Laura hunts for the legendary love letters her father wrote to her mother when he served as a reporter for the Associated Press during wartime Vietnam. Believing the beauty and sway of her father's words will have the power to heal, Laura reads the letters bedside to her mother, a woman who once spoke the language of fabric--of Peony Sky in Jade and Paradise Garden Sage--but who can't or won't speak to her now. As Laura delves deeper into her tangled family history, she becomes increasingly determined to save her mother. As each letter reveals a patchwork detail of her parents' marriage, she discovers a common thread: a secret that mother and daughter unknowingly share. Weaving back and forth from Laura's story to her mother's, beginning in the idyllic 1950s with Helen's love affair with Joseph through the tumultuous Vietnam War period on to the present, Sea Escape takes a gratifying look at what women face in their everyday lives--the balancing act of raising capable and happy children and being accomplished and steadfast wives while still being gracious and good daughters. It is a story that opens the door to family secrets so gripping, you won't be able to put this book down until each is revealed. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Tessa Gray's life changes forever when she loses her four-year-old daughter, Abby, in a hit-and run accident outside her preschool. As Tessa grapples with a terrible grief - made worse by the police's insistence that the case is unsolvable - she finds her only solace in Celia Reed, the therapist her husband has pushed her to see. In the journal Tessa keeps, she compulsively counts the 'days without Abby' and maps out her plan to catch the driver who tore her family apart. Tessa becomes consumed with the hunt for her daughter's killer, resolving that if the police won't do anything.she will. Celia warns Tessa that a crusade for answers won't stop her pain, and as she counsels, she finds that their emotional sessions open the door to problems she's spent years ignoring, forcing her to face the rising tensions in her own life - her troubled teenage son, her alcoholic ex-husband, and her fragile new marriage. Celia begins to realize that she must come to terms with the tragic mistakes of her own past and the choices that have led her family to the brink of destruction. "Lifes Without Summer" is a haunting portrait of two women whose lives converge unexpectedly when the answers one needs turn out to be the other's only chance for peace. It illuminates connections between love, marriage, truth, and forgiveness that no reader will forget.…
