Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Set in New York City and Los Angeles between August 1999 and November 2001, The Stranger Box is a fast-paced psychological thriller. It is the story of a mother and a daughter caught like two white dwarf stars in separate orbits, destined to collide. Though she does everything in her considerable power to insure the child never finds out who she is, the vain and self-obsessed Katherine Blair is unable to change the course of her destiny or evade Eden, the resourceful daughter whose pursuit is fueled by the desire for revenge and the determination to steal the family that has been denied her. Eden's sometimes tortured and always tumultuous journey is the focal point of this story of abandonment and revenge. Her character and beliefs regarding right and wrong, and good and evil are influenced not only by her Jewish adoptive mother, but by their housekeeper, Leila, a young Voodoo priestess from Haiti. It's Leila who gives Eden her first Stranger Box, and teaches her to keep it filled with things that will protect her from others who would do her harm. Under her tutelage, Eden learns to worship the Iwa, and begins to master the art of using plants and herbs to heal and to punish. Fascinated by the black magic as well as the white magic that characterizes the Voodoo religion, Eden becomes intrigued with the notion of zombies. At a Voodoo ceremony, she witness a possession and encounter an opportunity to steal a jar of the powder used to create a zombie. Eden's burgeoning fascination with all things Voodoo comes to an end when Leila is forced to leave the family's employ and return to Haiti because of the sexual advances of Eden's adoptive father. Eden's journey becomes more tumultuous as tragedy strikes and her adoptive family disintegrates, forcing her onto the streets and into the arms of a disciple of Satan. The tension between good and evil is reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley series. The portrayal of the consequences of intense negative emotion on the outcome of a family drama is suggestive of Ian McEwan's Atonement. Eden's resilience, and her ability to emerge as a strong and resourceful adult inspite of a disastrous childhood brings to mind Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander. Among the many early readers of the book was R.W. Goodwin, Executive Producer of The X-Files. He reflected the opinion of many when he said, "The Stranger Box is a real page-turner. Eden is right. Trust no one."To tell more would destroy the tension and ruin the surprise. A young, adopted actress seeks our her self-obseesed mother and tries to gain back the family that was denied her.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In The Hourglass, Pamela Cuming invites us to contemplate how we can find the courage to age and to confront death as the runway of our lives gets shorter. -How can we continue to find meaning in life when we already know the end of the story? -What can we do to keep our inner flame burning bright when we grow old and have lost the spell of potential? -What can we do to create a mindset that will help us fight back or continue to enjoy life when our bodies weaken and our health declines? -Is it possible to love our aging bodies as we once loved our younger selves? -How can we continue to love our aging mates when they grow short-tempered, and impatient and can't play with us or interact with us the way they used to? -What can we do to sustain the vitality of our relationship with our mate when we grow old and the strobe lights dim, lust wanes, and mating rituals are transformed into the bonds of friendship? -What can we do to make sure that doctors and hospitals act in our best interest, and contribute rather than detract from the quality of our lives? -How can we manage the inherent conflict between our own desire to remain autonomous and our childrens' desire to keep us safe? -Is there anything we can do to ease the transition between living as a totally mobile, independent being and a person who is dependent on the help of others? -How do we avoid the conflicts that too often arise between our siblings when we come together to bury our last ramaining parent? -How can we harness our creative talents or the talents of others so that they become an antidote to aging? -How important are the presence of other people to our ability to age well? -What can we do to help the ones we love die with few regrets and with dignity? -What does it feel like to lose the love of our life? How can we survive the journey through the land of the shadows and emerge on the other side with our sense of self intact? -How can we think about dying? How can we learn to accept that we will die, and therefore deny death its power to terrify? -Is there a good way to die? Through stories drawn from her own life and the lives of others, mingled with insights derived from philosophy, medicine and science, the author explores the answers to these questions. She presents a model that we can use to identify our unique way of embracing the joys and dealing with the burdens of growing old. Do we tend to maintain a positive outlook, or to despair? Do we fight back, or give in or give up? Are we optimistic? pessimistic? realistic? Are we resilient? adaptable? courageous? acceptant? Are we wise and balanced, or do we rage against the dying of the light? The model provides a roadmap to guide us through the difficult passages of aging, dealing with the death of loved ones and even contemplating our own demise. In short, The Hourglass: Life as an Aging Mortal confronts Death and its precursor, Aging, head on. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Pamela Cuming is thirty-four years old when her husband dies of a heart attack. With Bill's death, she loses not only a husband and best friend but her business partner as well. She must rebuild her life, raise two children, and run the consulting firm she and Bill once co-managed. But first she must face the fact that she is a widow. To her credit, Pamela Cuming is a take-charge kind of woman. However, in reality, she rides an emotional roller coaster-one moment soaring with pleasure over her own independence and insight; the next moment plunging into terror over her loss and feelings of inadequacy. Pamela Cuming traces her first year's journey through the fears and frustrations of widowhood; her own angry despair; her children's grief; and the necessity of coping with all the chores her husband once handled-getting the car fixed, painting the house, taking over the adminsitrative end of their business. She speaks about an anxiety she cannot always control, the fear of sleeping in "their" bed, the depression of holidays and anniversaries, and the overwhelming sense of being alone. Yet somewhow she does begin to set things right and to redefine her personal boundaries. At the end of the first year without her husband, Pamela Cuming is a significantly different person. Her values and priorities have been aired and reorganized, and her individuality has been acknowledged and remains intact. Widow's Walk is a bold, brave, and candid admission of bereavement, weakness, and ultimately, strangth. It tells a story that is as relevant to widows and widowers today as it was in 1979 when she experienced her loss. In some respects, that was a very different time. There were smoking sections in airplanes, often separated from the non-smoking sections by only an aisle. It was customary to order cocktails at lunch. There were no cellphones. Personal computers were still on the drawing board. She wrote Widow's Walk on a Smith Corona typewriter. It was a different time, and yet the emotions she felt back then when her husband's heart stopped beating were the same as any widow or widower feels today. Then and now, widowhood feels like walking through the land of the shadows. The world is blurry. Normal conversation about mundane subjects is strained and tedious. Time moves slowly. The days are endless and the nights are even longer. You struggle to reach through the shadows and grasp something real, but there is nothing there. Emerging from the land of the shadows is the awful challenge that all widows and widowers face. Widow's Walk sheds light on how to navigate that dark path. The first edition of Widow's Walk was published in 1981. The second edition includes a preface and an epilogue, and has been edited to make the book more readable. This item is printed on demand.
