Paperback. Zustand: Good. Fierce Joy: A Memoir is a medical mystery, a spiritual adventure, and a love story. Ellen Schecter had everything she ever wanted: a loving marriage, two great kids, and her dream career writing children's books and television programs. Then her life shattered when she was diagnosed with a painful, potentially fatal disease. Fierce Joy tells the story of how Schecter found a way to be sick without suffering and transformed the loss of her place in the world of work into a quest for her soul. Propelled by illness into a search for new meanings, she learned to listen to her body and find healing even though a cure was impossible. Never asking Why me? she instead asked, What's next? and forged a new life paradoxically filled with joy. AUTHOR: Ellen Schecter has published many books for children. Her first novel, The Big Idea (Hyperion), won the Americas Book Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature. Her Family Haggadah (Viking) was a Book-of-the-Month and Jewish Book Club selection. Schecter has written or collaborated on many multi-award-winning TV series for children and families, including: Reading Rainbow, hosted by LeVar Burton on PBS; The Magic School Bus, starring Lily Tomlin as Ms. Frizzle; and Allegra's Window on Nick, Jr. She was executive producer of the award-winning documentary Voices of Lupus, which was distributed free to every English-speaking Lupus Foundation in the world.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Call of the Lark by Maura Mulligan is a chronicle of life in rural Ireland in the 1940s and 1950s, a testament to the challenges of emigration to the United States, and a portrait of one woman's strength and determination to forge a fulfilling life. The story begins in a New York novitiate where Maura is training to be a nun. Through the window of her memory, she invites the reader to share her childhood on a rain-swept farm in County Mayo, where women smoke clay pipes, the donkey brings turf from the bog, and children dibble the spuds and dodge a cane-wielding schoolmaster. In the bustling new world of New York City, Maura revels in the freedom of having a job and money to pursue her love of Irish dance. But even as she wins competitions, earns accolades at work and meets a nice lad, she feels the tug to do something more with her life. During her years as a nun, the author experiences a series of painful family losses at the same time she begins wrestling with questions about the role of women in the Catholic Church. She confronts her doubts, summons her courage, fixes her sights on the future, and leaves convent life.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 1969. In advertising, there are mad men. On radio, there are funny men. Tune In .In 1960s New York, radio is king, and Elkin and Fox are the hottest morning team in town. Jerry Elkin is the funny half a genius at dialects and double-talk, zingers and zany characters. Sinatra flies him to Vegas on his private plane, and Rocky Graziano drinks with him (and punches him). But Jerry s life? That s no laughing matter. Secretly, he seethes at his straight-man partner, Ted Fox, a handsome rake who d rather shtup a secretary in the studio than entertain TV offers, a guy who makes Jerry feel less a star and more a schmuck. Turn On .And that s before Jerry ever hears the name Sari Rosenbloom. The stunning eighteen-year-old is a mystical American dream, irresistible to men and her most obsessed admirer is Jake, Jerry s son. With the 1960s world spinning out of control, Jake is fighting for a girl who can have anyone she wants from the world-famous artist who has sketched her nude to bon vivant Ted Fox, who s singing her name on air. Drop Out .And that s before Jerry gets a gander at Sari s father. Max Rosenbloom works in salvage in other words, he burns down factories, sells poisoned pajamas to Chinese children and sometimes buries his enemies in cement. If Jake doesn t stop going after his princess daughter, Max might make Jerry s son, Jerry s career and Jerry s whole post-war world disappear right off the dial . Schmuck. A raucous, wild novel of love, war, rioting and radio that s as funny as a heart attack and as serious as hell. Praise for Schmuck A madcap morning-radio team hanging with Sinatra, intimate father-and-son conversations at the Friars Club, a mystery woman swiveling everyone s head. Ross Klavan was raised on this canvas. No wonder I felt in such expert hands. David Pollock, author of Bob and Ray, Keener than Most Persons Klavan s light touch and sharply drawn characters echo Carl Hiaasen, and are also very much his own. Emily Bazelon, author of Sticks and Stones I laughed out loud and also wept reading this fast-paced novel of a Jewish Holden Caulfield. W. M. Bernstein, author of The Realization of Concepts Delightful reading, but be forewarned. There is often seriousness beneath a tale whose Yiddish title means roughly a dope. It s Jewish New York and will make you laugh one minute, wince another, but will let you find yourself in it, no matter who you think you are.
