Imagine if Marilyn Monroe had survived that fateful day in August 1962. Would she have turned her life around, stopped drinking and kicked the pills? As a woman revered for her embodiment of "woman-ness," Marilyn's perspective on contemporary women's health issues would fascinate readers from multiple generations. What Would Marilyn Say? Supporting Women to Health and Happiness is a first-person narrative with a "virtual" Marilyn as an observer in a group of women returning to college. Their weekly gatherings are filled with topical conversation about life, health and happiness. They discuss issues ranging from menstruation to menopause, and depression to dieting, and Marilyn comments to the reader about the group discussion.

Escaping the Twilight is the coming-of-age story of Amina, a Sudanese girl who undergoes female circumcision at the age of nine. Intensifying her struggle for identity in the silent world of women, she cannot erase the pain and humiliation of that experience. With steely determination, she vows to do whatever is necessary to prevent her daughter from suffering the same demoralizing fate--even if it means going against the wishes of her husband and the rules of her family. The detailed descriptions of customs and lifestyle give a deep, fascinating insight into the Sudanese culture, as well as entry into the cloaked world of Muslim women.
