Mud Season: How One Woman's Dream of Moving to Vermont, Raising Children, Chickens and Sheep, and Running the Old Country Store Pretty Much Led to One Calamity After Another
by Ellen StimsonAfter a getaway in gorgeous rural Vermont--its mountains ablaze in autumnal glory, its Main Streets quaint and welcoming--Ellen Stimson and her family make up their minds even before they get back to St. Louis: "We're moving to Vermont!" The reality, they quickly learn, is a little muddier than they'd imagined, but, happily, worth all the trouble. In self-deprecating and hilarious fashion, Mud Season chronicles Stimson's transition from city life to rickety Vermont farmhouse. When she decides she wants to own and operate the old-fashioned village store in idyllic Dorset, pop. 2,036, one of the oldest continually operating country stores in the country, she learns the hard way that "improvements" are not always welcomed warmly by folks who like things just fine the way they'd always been. She dreams of patrons streaming in for fresh-made sandwiches and an old-timey candy counter, but she learns they're boycotting the store. Why? "The bread," they tell her, "you moved the bread from where it used to be." Can the citified newcomer turn the tide of mistrust before she ruins the business altogether? Follow the author to her wit's end and back, through her full immersion into rural life--swapping high heels for muck boots; raising chickens and sheep; fighting off skunks, foxes, and bears; and making a few friends and allies in a tiny town steeped in history, local tradition, and that dyed-in-the-wool Vermont "character."
Muddling Through: Perspectives on Parenting
by Bil Lepp Edith Songer"When I was asked to write this book it was not because I am an accredited child rearing expert. I have no degree, credentials or recognition as a child raising expert. I am a professional storyteller who occasionally tells stories about parenting. Here's an important credential I do hold: I have won the West Virginia Liars' Contest five times.. . The advice I offer, however, is honest. I have two kids who, at this writing, are eight and eleven years old. That gives me nineteen collective years in the parenting trenches. I cannot claim to be a successful parent. I'm not sure when any parent can deem their job a success. Your child's whole life will be greatly determined by the portion they spend with you. I am offering what advice I can with the idea that I think my wife and I are doing pretty well.

La mujer de un solo hombre
by A.S.A. HarrisonUna inquietante indagación en la fragilidad de una pareja, pero sobre todo, una historia de suspense que mantiene al lector en vilo hasta el impacto definitivo. Si la pareja ideal existiese, Jodi y Todd serían un modelo del género. Tras más de veinte años juntos, viven en Chicago en un amplio apartamento situado en la planta 27, con unas vistas espectaculares al lago Michigan. Todd posee una pequeña empresa constructora y Jodi, psicoterapeuta, puede permitirse trabajar unas pocas horas al día recibiendo a sus pacientes en casa. El resto del tiempo se dedica a sus clases de Pilates, a cocinar platos exquisitos y a pasear a Freud, su adorado golden retriever. Sin embargo, la idílica relación entre Jodi y Todd parece tener algún punto vulnerable. Aunque ninguno de los dos sea consciente de ello, ciertos hechos amenazan con estropear su apacible existencia. Y cuando por fin Jodi reconoce que su vida se está yendo a pique, la sensación de haberlo perdido todo se apodera de ella y un abismo de sombrías posibilidades se abre ante sus ojos. Narrada en capítulos que alternan las perspectivas de los dos protagonistas, La mujer de un solo hombre, la primera obra de A. S. A. Harrison, supone uno de esos casos excepcionales en el mundo de la edición. Publicada en un formato sencillo y con limitados recursos de marketing, la novela fue ganando impulso gracias a la recomendación directa de los lectores hasta convertirse en uno de los fenómenos del último verano en Estados Unidos y sumar más de un millón de ejemplares vendidos en países de habla inglesa. La crítica ha dicho...«Aguda, ingeniosa, endemoniadamente sombría y absolutamente absorbente.»Daily Mail «Depurada, turbadora, y teñida de un humor sombrío, esta novela indaga acerca de lo que ocurre cuando no tienes nada que perder. Es brillante y adictiva. Me dejó casi sin aliento mientras avanzaba a toda velocidad hacia su devastador desenlace.»S. J. Watson «Afilada y fulminante como un cuchillo.»Newsday «Magistral [...]. El secreto de esta novela no está en su ingeniosos giros argumentales, sino en su meticulosa verosimilitud.»Salon «No podrás dejar de leer con una creciente angustia. Es uno de esos libros que uno lamenta que acaben [...]. Profundamente inquietante.»The Guardian «El agudo y magistral retrato de una relación de pareja en descomposición [...]. Un thriller de los que aceleran el ritmo cardíaco y te mantienen en vela toda la noche.»Publishers Weekly «Un aterrador y veraz retrato de la vida conyugal y de cómo se puede llegar a un extremo sin que ninguno de los dos se dé cuenta de ello.»The Observer «El drama se va desplegando progresivamente hasta convertirse en algo profundamente inquietante [...]. Un relato transparente, con giros sorprendentes, capaz de cautivarnos de una forma insospechada. Una excelente lectura.»The Bookseller «Tiene la mortífera contundencia de un picahielo clavado en la carótida.»The New Republic

These questions and more are explored in Multicultural Family Art Therapy, a text that demonstrates how to practice psychotherapy within an ethnocultural and empathetic context.
