Description

Tamara and her husband struggled for years to get pregnant. They went through numerous fertility treatments. Finally the blessed day came when they found out they were pregnant. They were overjoyed! They hastily planned and eagerly anticipated the birth of a healthy baby. But paradise came with a catch: the baby would be healthy, but was missing an arm. Tamara was inspired to write this book because of the frustration she found in the lack of information provided for parents in her situation. She was unable to find books that addressed her particular questions and took the viewpoint of a parent. She couldn't find information on how to deal with the stares and uncomfortable situations that arose in response to her daughter's arm. She set out to change that. She wants to let parents know that they aren't alone and that help can be found. She presents children with limb differences or amputations as whole children and enables parents to acknowledge their anger and fear and move on to the reality of the situation-they have a child to love and protect. Information is provided about institutions that are able to help both parents and children emotionally and physically. She has included quotes, proverbs, and the personal stories of others to inspire and give guidance as to how to deal with this lifelong situation.

Description

A stunning debut novel from a new voice in literary fiction, set on Lake Michigan following World War II, The Water Dancers limns the divide between the worlds of the wealthy elite "summer people" and the poor native population who serve them–and what happens when those worlds collide. When Rachel Winnapee first comes to work at the March family summer home on vast and beautiful Lake Michigan, she quickly learns her place. Servants are seen and not heard as they bring the breakfast trays, wash and iron luxurious clothes, and serve gin and tonics to the wealthy family as they lounge on the deck playing bridge. Orphaned as a poverty–stricken young girl from the nearby band of Native Americans, Rachel is in awe of the Marches' glamorous life–and quite enamored of the family's son Woody. Rachel is soon assigned the task of caring for Woody, a young man whose life has been changed utterly by his experience as a soldier in WWII. The war has cost Woody not only his leg, but, worse, the older brother he loved and admired. Now back at home, Woody cannot bear to face the obligations of his future – especially when it comes to his bride–to–be Elizabeth. Woody finds himself drawn to Rachel, who is like no one he's ever known. The love affair that unites these two lost souls in this Great Gatsby–esque portrait of class division will alter the course of their lives in ways both heartbreaking and profound. This novel's richness is due, in part, to the author's memories of summers spent at her family's house on Lake Michigan, home to six generations of Gambles (as in Procter & Gamble). THE WATER DANCERS, told in a voice as clear and cool as lake water, is a luminescent tale of love, loss and redemption, and heralds the arrival of a remarkable new talent.

Description

In an explosion of his own making, Lucius blew his arms off. Now he has hooks. He chose hooks because they were cheaper. He chose hooks because he wouldn’t outgrow them so quickly. He chose hooks so that everyone would know he was different, so he would scare even himself. Then he meets Aurora. The hooks don’t scare her. They don’t keep her away. In fact, they don’t make any difference at all to her. But to Lucius, they mean everything. They remind him of the beast he is inside. Perhaps Aurora is his Beauty, destined to set his soul free from its suffering. Or maybe she’s just a girl who needs love just like he does.
