Book Description
The years from ten to fourteen are undeniably trying and turbulent years for parents and children alike. Adolescents develop by leaps and bounds during these years, and often find themselves uncomfortable with who they are and what they’re feeling. Parents, too, don’t know what to expect from the adolescent child who is at one moment hostile and glum, at the next carefree and happy. Your Ten- to Fourteen-Year-Old was written by renowned child-care experts Louise Bates Ames, Frances Ilg, and Sidney Baker to help prepare parents for the incredible changes their children will be going through. Included in this book: • Boy-girl relationships and sexual curiosity • Clubs, hobbies, activities, sports • Trouble at school • Family life and relationships with siblings • Physical development—the awkward adolescent • Summer jobs and independence • Money matters • Personal hygiene • Moodiness, loneliness • Smoking, drinking, drug use “Louise Bates Ames and her colleagues synthesize a lifetime of observation of children, consultation, and discussion with parents. These books will help parents to better understand their children and will guide them through the fascinating and sometimes trying experiences of modern parenthood.”—Donald J. Cohen, M.D., Director, Yale Child Study Center, Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Psychology, Yale School of Medicine

Book Description
“House on the Bridge...Ten Turbulent Years with Diego Rivera” is the story of Diego Rivera’s first wife, Angeline Beloff, a painter and engraver from pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg, and her relationship with the well known muralist in Belle Époque Paris. These were the years when he was developing his skills in Europe before returning to Mexico to depict his country’s history in murals. They lived and struggled with other artists—Pablo Picasso, Amadeo Modigliani, Maria Blanchard, Apollinaire-- and others in Montparnasse before, during and after WWI. They met in the medieval town of Bruges, traveled to London, visited museums, made trips to Spain and eventually married in Dieppe in 1911. He was in Mexico City at the beginning of the Mexican Revolution and claimed to have smuggled explosives in his paint box to assassinate Diaz, while she was in St. Petersburg during Bloody Sunday and the unrest leading up to the Russian Revolution. During their years in Paris, they watched their world change from Belle Époque to the horrors of world war where they were forced to sleep in subways by night and stand in long lines searching for coal to keep warm in winter. Many times they ate at canteens set up specifically to feed artists. Living with him was painful and exciting and their circle of friends was talented, mad and eventually successful. She loved him unconditionally during their life in Paris and probably for the rest of her life.

Book Description
Seventeen-year-old Jenia Cabresi stomped out of the Corner Caf into a late gray afternoon in downtown Los Angeles that slick November day in 1947; a day when billowy dark cumulus clouds hovered above the city, bringing an eerie dampness into every crevice of the metropolis. Drifting westward toward the blurred, thirsty Santa Monica mountains, the pending storm promised relief for the withering plants and fading foliage. The unusual appearance of the Los Angeles winter season begged for the moisture that was about to embrace every living thing in its path. A row of bright headlights splashed cautiously down Broadway in the approaching dusk, accompanied by honking horns emitting different pitch tones, transit buses puffing out black exhaust fumes, delivery trucks and merchant hand carts pushed by men scurrying in and out of side alleys running for shelter. Ill show him. Ill show him. That sonuvabitch Jew Swartz. Jenia cried. Hes got it coming. Yelling at me again in front of all my customers in the middle of lunch hour. Who the hell does he think he is, anyway? Slivers of rain rushed down her face beside her tears of despair, Mama, where are you when I need you? she silently implored. Then her thoughts switched abruptly to the slums of the East Bronx, New York, in the late 1930s and 1940s where her mother, Tina, lived with her boyfriend, Sal, who tormented, beat, and abused Jenia and her sister, Dorothy, for more than 12 years. Rarely a day went by in their young lives that he didnt find a reason to whip them with his belt or punish them in one sadistic way or another. She remembered how she and her East Bronx girls gang would snuggle up in the corner of the junkyard, light a cigarette, and pass it around for each to inhale profusely. The street kids made solemn oaths to keep shared secrets to themselves. Jenia once told them about Sal catching the mouse in his wire box trap, holding two live electric wires to the metal box while making the girls watch the tiny mouse squirm, squeak, and go belly up. Sal just laughed. The girls screamed in horror. She tried to shake thoughts of Sals cruelties out of her mind by recalling the events that had sparked her off earlier in the day. Overhead, a ferocious looking black cloud appeared to be descending. Perfect, she thought sardonically, marching onward as the cloud erupted above her with a roar that nearly jerked her off the ground, Goddam. Damn! A couple of nuns scooted past her. Jenia lowered her head to avoid eye contact. She wanted to be a nun when she was in her early teens. She attended confession every Saturday with Dorothy and mass every Sunday. She loved church and God. It seemed to be the one retreat where she was free of the turmoil and anger around her; but time has taken its token. Glancing at the dignified sisters, she made the sign of the cross, whispering, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen God forgive me but that Jew guy is driving me crazy. The nuns, dressed in full habit, kept their heads bowed and sheltered under a black umbrella without noticing Jenia. Thank God they didnt hear me, she whispered, For sure I would have had to say 1000 Hail Marys and 1000 Our Fathers! To the east, in the heart of the business garment district, torrents of hail furiously bounced off the windshields of crawling cars. Shining through the darkness, illuminating the hustle and the bustle of the days end, a bright slit of sun squeezed its way across the tall, vertical gray city buildings. It cast lively silhouettes framed by a half-moon rainbow, stretching its circle-like- aura over the cement slab horizon. While clouds roared angrily above, releasing torrents of wet hail on the glass-like sidewalks, people darted like little ants in and out of doorways trying to shield themselves from the sting of relentless pellets, holding umbrell

Book Description
The compelling and true story of how one truly dedicated journalist admitted herself to an asylum to write a groundbreaking exposé. Young Nellie Bly had ambitious goals, especially for a woman at the end of the nineteenth century, when the few female journalists were relegated to writing columns about cleaning or fashion. But fresh off a train from Pittsburgh, Nellie knew she was destined for more and pulled a major journalistic stunt that skyrocketed her to fame: feigning insanity, being committed to the notorious asylum on Blackwell's Island, and writing a shocking exposé of the clinic’s horrific treatment of its patients. Nellie Bly became a household name and raised awareness of political corruption, poverty, and abuses of human rights. Leading an uncommonly full life, Nellie circled the globe in a record seventy-two days and brought home a pet monkey before marrying an aged millionaire and running his company after his death.
