The Making and Un-making of a Marine is the record of one man's journey from the hell of the Vietnam War to the redemption of his soul. In this personal memoir by Larry Winters, we witness the loss of innocence of a young boy who's forced to take the role of a man by his father's own hand, then watch as he struggles to reshape his identity as both man and patriot while suppressing his rage against an unjust war. Surviving the atrocities of Viet Nam, Winters learns how to heal his invisible wounds and is reborn triumphant. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the pathway of warriorhood. It will also be essential to those with a loved one currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan so they might guide their soldiers home toward a path of healing and forgiveness.

<p>Leaving Memories of Romania recounts the author's childhood and adolescence as the son of impoverished Holocaust survivors. His parents are unable to talk about their past, but their lives and the lives of their two sons are utterly shaped by it. As he comes of age, Mihai Grunfeld is increasingly conscious of his parents profound loneliness, the glaring gaps in his family's history, and the questions that go unanswered. Gradually the story of an innocent child's tender, loving relationship with his parents evolves into a powerful tale of complex family dynamics shaped by adolescent experimentation, the daily grind of factory work, anti-Semitism, and big dreams of escaping the politically restrictive system in which he lives.</p>
