Book Description
In 1939, on the eve of Hitler's invasion of Poland, seven-year-old Edith Milton (then Edith Cohn) and her sister Ruth left Germany by way of the Kindertransport, the program which gave some 10,000 Jewish children refuge in England. The two were given shelter by a jovial, upper-class British foster family with whom they lived for the next seven years. Edith chronicles these transformative experiences of exile and good fortune in The Tiger in the Attic, a touching memoir of growing up as an outsider in a strange land. In this illuminating chronicle, Edith describes how she struggled to fit in and to conquer self-doubts about her German identity. Her realistic portrayal of the seemingly mundane yet historically momentous details of daily life during World War II slowly reveals istelf as a hopeful story about the kindness and generosity of strangers. She paints an account rich with colorful characters and intense relationships, uncanny close calls and unnerving bouts of luck that led to survival. Edith's journey between cultures continues with her final passage to America—yet another chapter in her life that required adjustment to a new world—allowing her, as she narrates it here, to visit her past as an exile all over again. The Tiger in the Attic is a literary gem from a skilled fiction writer, the story of a thoughtful and observant child growing up against the backdrop of the most dangerous and decisive moment in modern European history. Offering a unique perspective on Holocaust studies, this book is both an exceptional and universal story of a young German-Jewish girl caught between worlds. “Adjectives like ‘audacious’ and ‘eloquent,’ ‘enchanting’ and ‘exceptional’ require rationing. . . . But what if the book demands these terms and more? Such is the case with The Tiger in the Attic, Edith Milton’s marvelous memoir of her childhood.”—Kerry Fried, Newsday “Milton is brilliant at the small stroke . . . as well as broader ones.”—Alana Newhouse, New York Times Book Review

Book Description
EVERYONE KEEPS DARK SECRETS Sometimes those secrets should be exposed. Other times they ought to stay buried. Having recently moved into a hundred-year-old house with her husband of three years, Kendra is a woman who keeps secrets and lies, the kinds of secrets and lies gentle folk don't want to talk about. Such as madness running in her family. And hearing strange noises in the attic ... rats, whisperings, and a ghost child crying in the night. The story speeds down an emotional highway in which Kendra and her husband are trying to figure out whether they're really meant for each other. But when she finds out her family has been hiding a disturbing secret, her life hurtles into dark places no sane woman should have to go. A haunting tale of marital strife and ghosts from the past, MEMORIES IN THE ATTIC delves into a relationship testing the limits of a wife's devotion and a husband's patience while examining the generational legacies of good families everywhere. What begins as a study of infidelity and strong personalities soon descends into a frightening story centered around criminality, deception, and madness. Eventually Kendra must determine whether she and her husband were ever meant for each other or if outside forces have deliberately--and viciously--been driving them apart. After being trapped in a corner where both her sanity and her freedom are at stake, Kendra must wrestle inner demons and come to terms with her family's history. When at last she breaks free of real and mental prisons, an even worse fate awaits her. Only a police detective can keep her from descending into hell. When Kendra finally realizes she has been driven to madness by her closest family members, she must come to terms with their betrayals ... by forgiving one, disowning another, and wreaking vengeance on a third. MEMORIES IN THE ATTIC will draw readers into the sagas of several families inextricably linked with a house haunted by more than one ghost. Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. Previously published as Trick of the Mind, MEMORIES IN THE ATTIC incorporates a major new subplot that will keep readers guessing until the final reveal.

Book Description
To Catch a Poem Poetrys like the wind you know, Words fly by they come they go. You rush to put your thoughts to pen, For they may not return again. The best are caught when emotions are high, Snatching them up as they go by. Now a calm arrives... You scratch your head, The words are gone, your poem is dead. Then a stirring starts and before you know, You are writing as fast as your pen can go. Unannounced a tempest may sweep you away As a poem knows neither night nor day. Dont be afraid to open your heart, For that is the place a poem starts. One day in the attic cold and gray, They will find the poems that you tucked away. And just like the wind, they will never die, For you captured the heart as the words flew by. Ruby Palmer ~June 1999
