This book takes you inside the world of foster care, a place that, you find out quickly isn't somewhere you want to be. The voices of the children themselves tell the stories in this collection of essays. We see things as they actually are: siblings are split up and sometimes never reunited, children's loyalties between abusive or neglectful parents and the "system" are questioned, kids age out of the system and are left to a world they know nothing about without a family to guide them. It is all here. It is all true. I challenge you to read it and not have it make you think long and hard about the way "the system" works and how it affects the kids.

This is an excellent reference for writers that need to know herbal properties, as well as a great introduction into using them for personal care. Has great clear pictures of what the herbs look like in their native form,tell your sources to find them, gives you medical status, how to prepated, dosage and cautions.

Super work at a great price!!

This book is one of my favorites. It presents the history of the Jewish people in a interesting and readable manner. I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the Old Testament, especially people who are studying the Old Testament for the first time. It really helps put things in a proper historical perspective.

Seldom do you find a short story writer who puts together such subtle and genuine vignettes about life and the little nuances that make it terrific and difficult at the same time. Johnson's book of stories is just like that.

From Adele's Big Bird to Joanne's Apricot-Glazed Ham, Home For The Holidays is bursting with the Larson's family favorites destined to find their way to your holiday table.

Inspired by Jodie Foster's film of the same name--Home for the Holidays contains more than 60 kitchen-tested recipes, from appetizers to desserts, including vegetarian dishes. of color photos.

Home for the Holidays is dedicated "to our mothers, who taught us everything about saying 'thank you' on command, overeating, and the culinary miracle of salt." This dedication alone should be a tip off to the kind of wit, joy and heart warming recipes of our growing up that the book contains.

Pick up a copy and try your hand at baking Harvest Pumpkin Pie -- maybe, just maybe, you won't have to sit at the kids table this year!

Narrated by Octavia Albert, this book documents the true stories of several former slaves, their personal views, their struggles, and their triumphs. The stories are heartfelt and the convictions of the author to pass on the history of her people are evident in her dedicated writing.

This information-rich book describes a model to communicate with others based on their personality type. While the book is focused on improving intimate relationships, it is equally valuable for business or social communication. It contains many helpful tables, but the text sometimes seems disjointed or oddly organized. However, the content is unique and valuable.

Unlike many self-help books, this one is packed with ideas and techniques that will benefit most anyone. It is on of the two or three best self-help books I have read.

Even though this book is meant for kids, I bought it anyway. I'm 16 and I really want to be an animator when I'm older, and surprisingly this book really helped me learn to draw all the Toy Story 1 & 2 characters on my own. The characters are computer-animated in the movie, but this book helps you bring them alive on paper, too. I have all the books in this series and I LOVE them all, they seriously helped my cartooning skills & they're fun to use as well!

While this may be a small book on a small imprint it deserves wider distribution. John Shevin Foster has managed to distill some down home truths into an easy read. We've all made mistakes when it comes to love. We thought we knew it all, only to have our hearts broken by the person that was not for us.This book opens our eyes to things that someone in love may not want to see. In 55 short pages the author manages to remind us of all the common sense lessons that grandma gave us,while at the same time translating them into modern,everyday,scenarios that grandma may not have experienced. This book might just as easily have been titled "How to tell if your partners no good."But hopefully the feminists will catch wind of the title ,go into a tizzy, gain the author lots of press,and sell lots of copies.
