Book Description
The central figure in HOME BY SEVEN is Charlie Stoddard, husband, father, commuter, and managing editor of Business Publications, Inc., whose life starts coming apart when he is inadvertently responsible for the death of a fellow editor. The novel begins with a black humor which gradually fades as Charlie is caught up in the swirl of events caused by his drinking. The novel takes place over a five day period in November 1963, a few weeks before the assassination of President Kennedy. The scenes are laid in New York City, the suburbs, on the commuting trains, and in Bermuda, where Charlie finally flees to try to put his life together. His efforts to salvage his marriage, his job, and himself, however, seem preordained to failure because of his passion for women and booze. In stark prose that drives relentlessly forward, the novel, like Charles Jackson's LOST WEEKEND, is a graphic, blow by blow description of Charlie's involvement with alcohol and women over a long, crisis-filled weekend. The last chapter, seventeen years later, picks up Charlie again on a "lost month" when he finally hits his bottom and is ready for the help that is long overdue.

Book Description
"The left side of my brain knew I was shooting page one photos for next week's edition of the paper, and the right side felt overwhelmed by the emotion of seeing my home about to go out to sea." Author Barbara DeWitt Smith had a colorful childhood -- outrageous costume and cocktail parties, a revolving door of nannies because the alcoholic stepmother couldn't keep help, and a household filled with the eccentricities unique to rich people. This was her normal. She and her four sisters grew up with social status, money, and privilege. However, hidden underneath it all was an invisible and disturbing reality -- emotional neglect and abuse. When Smith moves back to her family's summer home on Nantucket Island, a brutal three-day nor'easter washes away the million-dollar property, and her and her sisters' inheritance is lost at sea. So after a life spent with alcoholic and emotionally unavailable men -- most notably her father -- she suddenly finds herself starting over with nothing. Home at Last is a compelling and insightful memoir illustrating the unique challenges adult children of alcoholics face in trying to break out of the damaging patterns of denial, self-loathing, and destructive romantic relationships -- and shows how it is possible to successfully come out the other side through the wonders of therapy.

Book Description
For anyone who wants to make a new marriage work or an old marriage stronger, here is inspiration and insight that no marriage counselor or psychologist could give you. In the wake of open marriage, marriage contracts, and no-fault divorce, the authors of this remarkable book have uncovered what it is that can make a marriage last a lifetime in these tumultuous times. Turning to the real experts (couples whose marriages have withstood the test of time), they have found that for all the striking dissimilarities in successful marriages, at the core of each is a real and definable commitment by the partners to each other and to the marriage. In the course of their research the authors have sat in hundreds of kitchens and living rooms listening to husbands and wives talk about how they have forged their relationships. The marriages range from two-paycheck, childless relationships to male-dominated families with a wife and kids at home, from affluent urban unions to marriages plagued with financial problems, from those fate has blessed to those it has been less kind to. What is highlighted again and again is the importance of putting marriage first in your life, of giving time a chance, and of believing that the good times will be renewed if a couple can get by the bad. Giving Time a Chance is a must for any couple planning to marry, for any couple thinking of divorce, for any couple wondering whether romance can be renewed, or for anyone questioning whether marriage still has a role in modern society. Here is a book for our times—a model of marriage in modern America.
