Dealing with the loss of a loved one is a painful experience for anyone. But for a child, death can expose issues that adults either aren't prepared to handle or don't recognize in the first place. This is Not Goodbye provides vital direction for those helping children through this intense and emotional ordeal. The professional and spiritual tools provided by Christine Sandor, an expert in childhood trauma, can help ensure that children come out on the other side of loss emotionally and physically healthy, and in one piece. Sandor, author of Warming the Stone Children, uses her personal story and professional training to reveal a holistic approach to healing the mind, body, and soul when faced with difficult life experiences.

Ever since iconic historian Bell I. Wiley broke Civil War literary ground with his "The Life of Johnny Reb" (published in 1943), the voices of individual soldiers—and by extension, their families and contemporaries—have played an important role in telling the story about America’s transformative conflict. The story of the Towles brothers of the 4th Virginia Cavalry—told primarily in their own words—is in that same tradition. More recently, Drew Gilpin Faust, in her acclaimed book, "This Republic of Suffering," charted the impact death and dying had on our nation during and after the war. This book is a microcosm of that study, examining how one family dealt with loss and remembrance. Built on unpublished, original source materials, "Gone to God: A Civil War Family’s Ultimate Sacrifice" tells in intimate detail of loss on a personal level, something with which we all can empathize. Because of this, the story of the Towles brothers resonates today, 150 years after their deaths.

Historical

Harry Kirkland was a star shortstop in a small Western Pennsylvania steel town where baseball was everything. Everyone in his home town eagerly followed this Little League hero's career. Their adulation and loyalty convinced him that his life would continue on a golden road of success and good fortune. But Harry never fulfilled his dreams. Stricken with a bout of viral encephalitis and sent to live in a mental institution, he slowly faded away--brain-damaged, toothless, and void of hope. Until the day that Ted Tresh, Harry's childhood friend, arrived at the hospital for a long-overdue visit. Armed with recollections of a simpler life, championship games, and lazy summer days, Ted takes Harry back to revisit their past, and reconnect with the boys they once were. "The Last Perfect Summer" is a nostalgic trip back to the 1960s--back to the days when a soda cost a dime and Mickey Mantle was every schoolboy's idol. Back to a time when the innocence of youth allowed for any dream to come true.

The Chicago Cubs are NOT cursed! A barnyard animal has nothing to do with the team’s continued futility. There are rational and logical reasons why the Cubs have the longest championship drought of any professional sports franchise. "Beyond Bartman, Curses, &amp; Goats" will take you through 104 of them…to match the 104 years it has been since the last Cubs’ World Series title in 1908. For example: • Many Cubs’ near misses such as the entire decade of the 1930s, 1945, 1969, 1984, and yes…2003. (sigh) • Years and years of poor drafting…consistently missing out on Hall of Famers and All-Stars that could have been Cubs. • The uncanny successes of Cubs’ players…after the Cubs traded them. • Poor financial decisions that had catastrophic effects on long-term success. • Historical blunders, such as having one of your young “ace” pitchers throw 141 pitches in a game…in April! If you love the Cubs, you will enjoy this analytical look at 104 years of the team’s history…and you will gain a vast knowledge of why this team continues to fail.
