Life in the SandwichLife in the Sandwich, by Susan Ito. "It's been an amazing journey, this learning to live without our newly adult daughter who just voted in her first election, two thousand miles away."



Me and My HouseMe and My House
, by Elrena Evans. "I'd rather my children be who God created them to be, encompassing not only their unique gifts and talents and personhoods, but where and when they were born, and yes, who their parents are. And when this mother's back is against the wall, I know my Renaissance philosophers better than I know my Dr. Spock, or T. Berry Brazelton, or even Dr. Sears."
