Blossom, The Art of Sacred Dying
$9.99 – $24.95Price range: $9.99 through $24.95
Written by Regina Gerstman
Dr. Regina Gerstman holds a doctorate in Educational Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and taught Human Development for nine years. She is also a licensed clinical social worker who has focused on people in midlife and late life for thirty years, after more than twenty years of working in outpatient mental health. Although Blossom was the first person she spent time with while dying, she more directly participated in the care-taking of first her husband and then her mother over the next ten years when they became ill and passed away. Blossom considered Dr. Gerstman to be a scholar and included her in her inner circle ten months before her death.
Ever This Night
$17.95
Written by Molly Sions
SYLVIA AND DANIELLE worry a lot. They worry about Danielle’s hard-won career in the fickle world of interior design. They worry about harsh judgment toward Sylvia, a transgender woman who longs to be unremarkable. They worry about their Catholic faith—about what it means for their marriage; about what their marriage means to their faith.
Lately, they’ve been worried about fertility. They’re not sure they can have a baby together, but Sylvia’s trying to make it happen, messing with her own hormones like a science experiment, no matter the impact to her mental health.
When Danielle’s old friend, Preston Elridge IV, moves to town and asks Danielle to design his trendy new restaurant, it seems like much-needed good news: a financial windfall, flexible hours, and a crowning achievement for her portfolio. There’s just one small problem. Preston is in love with Danielle, and he hardly bothers to hide it. To him, Sylvia’s transition represents the opening he always hoped for, and he’s not going to let it pass.
As Sylvia’s mental health worsens, Danielle’s pregnancy fails to materialize, and Preston’s overtures grow more aggressive, each of them delves deeper into their fears and desires, risking more with each step forward.
Orphaned Heritage : The East Coast’s Disappearing History
$9.99 – $18.95Price range: $9.99 through $18.95
Written by Ben Swenson
The spot where the most famous manhunt in United States history came to a bloody end languishes in the litter-strewn median of a four-lane highway. There are no physical traces left of the Garrett farmhouse, where John Wilkes Booth died, and few historic footprints to be found at all in this unlikely place, a common right-of-way. The Garrett place is one of scores of sites on the East Coast that society cast aside, places of historic value left to the natural world as orphans of the American landscape. Orphaned Heritage: The East Coast's Disappearing History tells the story of the Atlantic seaboard's historic castaways and explores what we can learn from the ruin.
