Childhood, a Young Girl's Experiences During World War II

Childhood is the gripping memoir of Sala Kamm, a young girl growing up in Poland and Germany during World War II.  The book recounts Sala's earliest memories as an only child in Katowice, Poland.  Beginning with her life as a beloved daughter of Josef and Irena Kamm, the author describes her life in a large extended family where the emphasis was on education and culture.  There were yearly trips to the country for month-long vacations and a succession of maids to help with chores and meals in the Kamm family home.   With the advent of hostilities between Germany and Poland, Sala's idyllic life changed.  Childhood traces Sala's remarkable journey through the farms and forests of Poland following the loss of her home, her parents and her extended family.  As a newly orphaned 13-year old, she became Eva Stanek, a Catholic worker shipped to Stuttgart, Germany, where she spent the remainder of the war as a kitchen helper and bakery assistant.  Filled with an indomitable survival instinct, the author lived on her own among her enemies for the rest of the war, until she was liberated by the American Seventh Army in 1945.

It’s 1976. The Beach Boys, on the back of their charismatic lead singer, Mike Love, were still fending off the “British Music Invasion” and keeping America’s Band alive and on the road. Meanwhile the band’s co-founder Brian Wilson was holed up in his Bel Air mansion, in imminent danger of becoming another rock and roll drug statistic. Mike’s brother and Beach Boys’ manager Stephen Love arranged a daring and brilliant rescue plan with the help of Brian’s wife, Marilyn. They hired the youngest Love brother Stan, a 6’8” former Los Angeles Laker, and Stan’s college roommate, Rocky Pamplin, a former NFL draftee (and Playgirl centerfold), in a heroic effort to bring Brian back into the fold— writing, recording, touring and making music again. Rocky’s irrepressible spirit and hair-trigger temper guide you on a wild ride through the Beach Boys’ high-profile world. For the first time ever, go behind the scenes as Rocky reveals the untold story of The Beach Boys’ miracle comeback, a labor of love that relaunched the band on one of the greatest and longest lasting musical journeys of all time.

"Do I Need Boobs With This Dress?" presents valuable insight into body image after breast cancer. A frank, wryly humorous, no-holds-barred true story, it's a must for those going through the trauma and for those who want to understand and support. More than 3.8 million women are living with the diagnosis of breast cancer. Each year a much bigger percentage is choosing mastectomies over other treatment options, and many women are having both breasts removed as a preventive measure. Do I Need Boobs With This Dress? recounts author Lynne Hanson’s struggles as she went through the options these women face: lumpectomies, mastectomies, reconstructive surgery, implants, prosthetics, and just going flat. As a fashion designer and artist, Lynne has the tools to analyze the feminine body from a uniquely visual perspective, both with breasts and without breasts. She shares her trials, tribulations, embarrassments, and triumphs, telling the story of her botched reconstruction and her efforts to redefine her style and come to terms with her body and her femininity.
