In Telling Memories Among Southern Women, Susan Tucker presents a revealing collection of oral-history narratives that explore the complex, sometimes enigmatic bond between black female domestic workers and their white employers from the turn of the twentieth century to the civil rights revolution of the 1960s. Based on interviews with forty-two women of both races from the Deep South, these narratives express the full range of human emotions and successfully convey the ties that united―and the tensions and conflicts that separated―these two mutually dependent groups of women.

City of Remembering represents a rich testament to the persistence of a passionate form of public history. In exploring one particular community of family historians in New Orleans, Susan Tucker reveals how genealogists elevate a sort of subterranean foundation of the city--sepia photographs of the Vieux Carré, sturdy pages of birth registrations from St. Louis Cathedral, small scraps of the earliest French Superior Council records, elegant and weighty leaves of papers used by notaries, and ledgers from the judicial deliberations of the Illustrious Spanish Cabildo. They also explore coded letters left by mistake, accounts carried over oceans, and gentle prods of dying children to be counted and thus to be remembered. Most of all, the family historians speak of continual beginnings, both in the genesis of their own research processes, but also of American dreams that value the worth of every individual life.
The author, an archivist who has worked for over thirty years asking questions about how records figure in the lives of individuals and cultures, also presents a national picture of genealogy's origins, uses, changing forms, and purposes. Tucker examines both the past and the present and draws from oral history interviews, ethnographic fieldwork, and archival research. Illustrations come from individuals, archives, and libraries in New Orleans; Richmond; Washington, DC; and Salt Lake City, as well as Massachusetts and Wisconsin, demonstrating the contrasts between regions and how those practitioners approach their work in each setting. Ultimately, Tucker shows that genealogy is more than simply tracing lineage--the pursuit becomes a fascinating window into people, neighborhoods, and the daily life of those individuals who came before us.

Thriving with Hypothyroidism is an empowering guide for women to lose weight, keep it off, and live a vibrant life despite having hypothyroidism. Women with hypothyroidism often feel like the disease is hijacking their life, sabotaging their efforts to lose weight, keep it off and preventing them from living an energy-filled life. Many women with hypothyroidism have been told that “Your thyroid test came back in the normal range!” or “The dose of thyroid hormone you are on is perfect!” yet they still feel hypothyroid symptoms. Or maybe they’ve been told, “Your weight gain is not due to your thyroid. Maybe you’re eating too much and not getting enough exercise!” It sounds all too familiar, and it’s a vicious cycle!
 After Anna Austin was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at such a young age, Susan Tucker did everything she could for her daughter to get to the root cause of the symptoms Anna was experiencing, even after starting medication. Thriving with Hypothyroidism is about empowering women to take an active role in their health in stopping the progression of thyroid disease and not settling living with symptoms for the rest of their lives. Susan and Anna help people understand that there’s more to preventing hypothyroidism than just taking medication. Rather, women can improve symptoms and thyroid function through a more natural, whole-body approach. Thriving with Hypothyroidism comes from 20 years of research, personal experience, and education in getting to the root causes of Susan and Anna’s own hypothyroidism. Susan and Anna share how to stop the progression of thyroid disease, lose weight and keep it off, and have a more energetic life!
