Off to War: Voices of Soldiers' Children
by Deborah EllisSociety of School Librarians International Honor Book Deborah Ellis has been widely praised for her gripping books portraying the plight of children in war-torn countries. Now she turns her attention closer to home, to the children whose parents are soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. In frank and revealing interviews, they talk about how this experience has marked and shaped their lives.The children, who range in age from 7 to 17, come from all over North America. They were interviewed on military bases, in the streets, in their homes and over the phone.

Offenders and the Sexual Abuse of Children: Interventions and Limitations
by James A. CatesThis book synthesizes the nascent but growing body of literature and research emerging on risk management and treatment of persons who sexually offend against children.This volume demonstrates the need for change by placing current attitudes toward sexual offending in their sociocultural context and then discussing the impact of these attitudes. Rather than parse the needs of children who have been victimized from those who have offended, a model emerges that explains the interlocking dynamics of those who offend and those offended against. This book upends the convenient fiction that child sexual abuse can be reduced by locking away those who offend and then monitoring them upon release. Rather, the book addresses the need for ongoing interaction of the two populations; the reality that the two populations at times overlap; and the increasingly public question of how to manage those who acknowledge an attraction to children but deny an intent to act on that desire.Providing alternative viewpoints, research avenues, and policy options that can accommodate a more realistic effort to reduce the risk of sexual abuse, it is a must read for all policymakers or professionals working with those who have offended or acknowledge attraction to children, alongside students and researchers from forensic psychology, clinical psychology, or criminology backgrounds.

The Officers' Wives
by Thomas J. FlemingThis is a book [novel] you will never forget. It is about the U.S. Army, the huge unwieldly organism on which much of the nation's survival depends. It is about Americans trying to live personal lives, to cling to touchstones of faith and hope in the grip of the blind, blunderous history of the last 25 years. It is about marriage, the illusions and hopes that people bring to it, the struggle to maintain and renew commitment. On June 5, 1950, graduation day at West Point, Joanna Welsh of Cincinnati, poet and idealist, walks beneath an arch of shining sabers, the bride of Peter MacArthur Burke, one of the stars of Army's perenially victorious football team. Within minutes she is followed by Amy Kemble, the cool, tough-minded Philadelphia heiress, who has married George Rosser, a somewhat bland but clever Californian. Next comes red-haired Honor Prescott of Charlesville, Virginia, giddily in love with Adam Thayer of Maine, who hides his brilliance-and his reckless idealism-behind a stream of jokes and comic impersonations. Even as the new second lieutenants and their wives drank champagne, tanks and artillery were being posi-( ^ tioned on an obscure Asian peninsula named Korea. War explodes before their honeymoons are over-and history becomes a dark presence in their lives. For Joanna it is the beginning of a spiritual journey that strips away her simplistic Catholic faith and teaches her harsh lessons about life's brutality, love's limitations. For Amy, war- whether in Korea or Vietnam-merely complicates her efforts to make George a general-until she discovers that courage is at the heart of the kind of love she needs and wants. Honor must grapple with a marriage that often teeters on oblivion, as Adam's experience in the Army-above all his opposition to the war in Vietnam-turns him into a savage cynic. Ranging from occupied Germany and Japan of the 1950s to the steamy chaos of Saigon and Bangkok in the 1960s, the officers' wives is a global drama told by a writer whose gifts as a novelist and historian here achieve a triumphant fusion. A sense of history, an awareness of the impact of the past on every level of life from the experience of the individual to the travails of a city to the crises of the nation, makes Thomas Fleming's fiction and nonfiction consistently interesting and important.

Often I Am Happy: A Novel
by Jens Christian GrøndahlThis elegant and nuanced literary gem explores the intricacies of friendship, secrets, and two marriages, for fans of The Dinner and Dept. of Speculation. "Often I am happy and yet I want to cry; / For no heart fully shares my joy." -B.S. IngemannEllinor is seventy. Her husband Georg has just passed away, and she is struck with the need to confide in someone. She addresses Anna, her long-dead best friend, who was also Georg's first wife. Fully aware of the absurdity of speaking to someone who cannot hear her, Ellinor nevertheless finds it meaningful to divulge long-held secrets and burdens of her past: her mother's heartbreaking pride; Ellinor's courtship with her first husband; their seemingly charmed friendship with Anna and Georg; the disastrous ski trip that shattered the two couples' lives. Wry and mellow yet infused with subdued emotion, this philosophical, lyrical novel moves in parallel narrative threads while questioning the assumptions we cherish concerning identity and love.
