Book Description
Ex-fire chief Rudy Parado, a curmudgeon if ever there was one, had come home to find a young black man rifling through his house and possessions. The intrusion brings out RudyÍs blatant racial prejudices. But, as he grapples to maneuver the scales of justice, Rudy comes to realize that the break-in has more to do with his conscience than his house. Reluctantly, he allows himself to be drawn into a polarized relationship with the bright young burglar, risking the integrity of his fast-held biases. The mordant and never revealed question in this humorous, witty and human exploration of race and justice in our society asks whether Munro, the smart young interloper, is worth RudyÍs time and effort. Rudy has family problems of his own: failure surrounds his ex-con son and his lump of a nephew. So why is Rudy so drawn to making things right by the young black desperado? Questions abound in this beguiling, graceful narrative by one of AmericaÍs most accomplished novelists.

Book Description
I Am Not Your Victim vividly details the evolution of domestic violence during the 16-year marriage of author Beth Sipe. Encouraged to publish her story by her therapist and co-author, Evelyn J. Hall, Beth relates the background and events leading up to and immediately following the tragic act of desperation that ended the life of her sadistic perpetrator. Beth′s subsequent mishandling by the police, the military, a mental health professional, and the welfare system illustrates how women like Beth face further revictimization and neglect by the very systems that should provide support and assistance. Insightful commentaries written by experts in the field follow Beth′s story and deepen readers’ understanding of the causes and process of spousal abuse, why battered women stay, and the dynamic consequences of domestic violence. This updated edition includes new commentaries and an epilogue that tracks what happened to Beth in the years following the book’s publication.

Two years ago, psychotherapist Chris Cameron was devastated by the murder of her partner, Robyn. Even now she struggles daily with the loss as she once again tries to find meaning in her own life. Will Chris be able to rediscover her spirit? Does her resurrection rest within the very symbol of pain--descansos--the makeshift roadside shrines that dot the landscape of the West that symbolize loss and transformation? Will she ever be able to love again? In a blend of humor, loss, and relationships, Descanso takes you on a moving, tragic, yet exhilarating journey from despair to hope and redemption.
