This is the story of one woman's struggle with, and triumph over, osteoporosis - the disease that affects a quarter of a million women in Canada and over twenty million in the United States.  In simple language, the book clearly defines the causes and effects of the disorder, and stresses the importance of proper nutrition and exercise as preventive measures for those at risk.  This is a self-help guide that offers an overall message of hope and emphasizes the positive role a patient can play in self-rehabilitation.

<p>Ashton walked over to where John was and sat on the carpet beside him. She held out her hands to the newly crackling blaze. Taking a deep breath, she said, "This isn't easy. I have been fearful of something that I ran across, and...oh, this is going badly." She bit her lip, looking at the fire, carefully not looking at him. "Let me begin again." And so begins one of the many secrets that dwell within the pretty, storybook town of Willow Brook. Ashton Fox has everything; just ask anyone in town. She is lovely, young, intelligent, and the daughter of the town's richest couple. During the Depression, a time when people were without creature comforts, jobs, or even hope, they would often glance longingly at the Fox mansion and wonder what it would be like to be one of them, on the flip side of poverty and despair. But Ashton, caught like an innocent bird locked away in a cage with no key, knows all too well that to be inside the beautiful mansion means secrets, danger, and fear...for to discover the secrets so carefully guarded through Prohibition, America's gangster era, and the Great Depression could very well cost you everything, maybe even your life.</p>

<p>Since just after it's founding in 1871, Asbury Park, New Jersey, has been a "music city".  Yet through much of its history, Asbury Park has been a segregated city.  While much is known about the musicians who played the seaside resort's beachfront venues, until now, little has been written about the music of the shadow city just across the railroad tracks.      Springwood Avenue Harmony details the history of music from Asbury Park's predominantly African American West Side from 1871 through 1945.  It includes the genres of Spirituals, Ragtime, Stride Piano, Jazz, Black Vaudeville, Blues, Big Band, Gospel and Pop music.  The book examines the social, political, economical and racial climates under which the music developed and evolved.  The lives of West Side singers and musicians long forgotten are finally given recognition.  Also covered are the churches, theaters, nightclubs and entertainment venues that made up the music scene along Springwood Avenue.    The book has close to 200 rare photos/flyers and is drawn from more than 700 documented news clippings, journals, books and interviews.</p>
