<p>Defining what it means by "in sickness and in health," the author takes her readers on an introspective journey that begins in serenity and then hits an unexpected fork in the road where the sign reads Cancer and the arrow points down. The book is dedicated to the husband she lost, but it might have been written for all loving wives who must follow the same path-- from the hospital corridors, through the mapless mazes of grief, and then finally into a new and resilient recovery. Anyone who's going through a similar experience will not merely read, but will recognize, this book. "Moving. Eloquent...Words that resonate powerfully on the page..." -Kaity Tong, Broadcast Journalist, WPIX-TV, New York. "..A wonderful memoir that poses the essential questions we all ask when we lose the people we love." -Dee Ito, author of Without Estrogen</p>

A Reluctant Life

Best Friends tells the story of two aspiring young women whose correspondence span a period of twenty-seven years,  during the sixties, when they are involved in the Downtown art, theater, music and political scene of the time, encountering and befriending people like; Bob Dylan, Dustin Hoffman, Shel Silverstein, Phil Ochs, Sam Shepard, Anna Halperin, Timothy Leary, Andre Gregory, Spaulding Gray, Eli Seigel, Andy Warhol, and ends during  the eighties when their lives have spun off into widely divergent paths, one of them tragically. It is the story of a brilliant woman with remarkable vitality whose life was often interrupted by bouts of acute schizophrenia. While the story is personal, the letters also catalog the wider world events. As Beth becomes a successful travel writer, her letters are sent from Ireland during the Troubles, from Israel in the wake of the six-day war, and from Berlin just after the building of the Wall.  You hear the authentic voices of two women growing up, and then growing older, at the heart of the 20th century--reflecting on their lives and wondering about their future against the fast-changing background of social and political turmoil, as men land on the surface of the moon.  The letters are real (rediscovered in the back of a file drawer) and offer insight, not just about the lives of these particular women but perhaps all women who came of age at that time and place, seen through the lens of a remarkable friendship

<p>As Ledicia's Key traces generations of a family through historyIn her forth book, Yvette-Nachmias-Beau offers her readers a full symphony of humanity, played out in the sharps and flats of personal triumphs and political tragedies. Timely stories of far-flung family ties take readers across continents and from the Spanish Inquisition to the present day to survive genocide, face displacement, armed conflicts, and even escape the madmen of history. She reaches backwards and forwards through time with diverse family portraits and characters from Genaals, notility to commoners who always reminding us of a compelling if hard-won intergenerational truth: that ancestry is more than a DNA test. It is the preservation of wisdom and the prevention of amnesia.</p>
