<p>I am really, really late posting this today as I spent 18 hours traveling yesterday, got home here in California at 10:00 pm and had to be up early and into town for a variety of reasons this morning. Needless to say, I&#8217;m a little weary!!! But despite all of that, I have managed to create a post to share all the wonderful books which arrived at my home over the last week!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12094" title="SeasonOfSecondChances" src="http://www.caribousmom.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/SeasonOfSecondChances.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="210" /><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>The Seasons of Second Chances</strong></span> by Diane Meier arrived from <a href="http://us.macmillan.com/smp.aspx">St. Martin&#8217;s Press</a> (released in paperback on March 31st). This novel is described as &#8220;<em><span style="color: #003366;">a witty, honest, and moving novel that captures the renovation not only of a house, but of a life&#8230;</span></em>&#8221; The Seasons of Second Chances revolves around Joy Harkness, &#8220;<em><span style="color: #003366;">an irascible, smart, sharply funny, guarded college professor of a certain age,</span></em>&#8221; who takes on the daunting task of renovating a home in Amherst, Massachusetts. Diane Meier notes (on her website) that an important theme  of the novel is found in &#8220;<em><span style="color: #003366;">the element of redefining feminist  ideals to embrace the gifts of home, family, sensitivity, trust and most  of all, the expressive, textural and creative options we have for  defining or reflecting our sense of ourselves.</span></em>&#8221; Meier served as the Public Relations Director of the National Organization of Women in the early 1970s.</p>
<p>Diane Meier is a marketing guru, and  president of MEIER, a NYC based marketing firm whose clients have helped  define luxury marketing (from Neiman Marcus and DeBeers to Maximilan  Furs, Kohler, Elizabeth Arden and Pierre Balmain). She is married to best selling author and BBC broadcaster, Frank  Delaney. Listen to her speak about <em>The Season of Second Chances</em> <a href="http://www.cpbn.org/program/faith-middleton-show/episode/fms-season-second-chances">on WNPR-Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network</a>.

<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-12095" title="RiverOfForgetting" src="http://www.caribousmom.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/RiverOfForgetting.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="212" />Author Jane Rowan sent me a review copy of her memoir, <strong><span style="color: #003366;">The River of Forgetting</span></strong>. This is a memoir which recounts the journey of recovery from childhood          sexual abuse. The book details the process of discovery and of healing through long and deep          therapy. It tracks the author&#8217;s process of learning to believe in herself and uncover the many consequences of abuse and secrecy, including the mistrust, dissociation, PTSD, hypervigilance, and difficulty with relationships. <a href="http://riverofforgetting.com/excerpt.html">Read excerpts from the book</a>.</p>
<p>Jane Rowan is a survivor of childhood trauma and betrayal and is passionate about sharing her healing experiences, including Inner Child work. She is a New England writer and poet. She taught science for three decades at a private college and retired in order to pursue the creative life. She has previously self-published a self-help booklet, <em>Caring for the Child Within</em>.

<p>Marissa at <a href="http://www.jkscommunications.com/">JKS Communications</a> sent me two books:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12096" title="ArmsWideOpen" src="http://www.caribousmom.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/ArmsWideOpen.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="216" /><span style="color: #003366;"><strong>Arms Wide Open</strong></span> by Patricia Harman (due for release this week from <a href="http://www.beacon.org/">Beacon Press</a>) is a memoir which draws heavily from personal journals, and is a prequel to Harman&#8217;s best-selling memoir, <em>The Blue Cotton Gown</em>. Harman takes readers back to a time of counterculture idealism when she taught herself to deliver babies. Midwifery started by accident for Harman (she coached a friend living on a commune through labor). She went on to deliver thousands of babies over the next 30 years of her life. Listen to Harman speak about her first book in 2008 <a href="http://www.wvpubcast.org/newsarticle.aspx?id=5354">on West Virginia Public Broadcasting</a>.</p>
<p>Patricia Harman first cared for women as a lay-midwife, delivering babies in cabins and on  communal farms in West Virginia, and later as a nurse-midwife in  teaching hospitals and in a community hospital birthing center. She spent over a decade in the sixties and seventies in her youth  living in rural communes in Washington (Tolstoy Farm), Connecticut (The  Committee for Non-Violent Action) and Minnesota (Free Folk). In 1974, Harman and her husband  purchased a farm with a group of like-minded friends on top of a ridge  in Roane County, West Virginia. Here on the commune, they built log  houses, dug a pond, grew and preserved their own food and started the  Growing Tree Natural Foods Cooperative. It was also here that she attended her first home birth. She went on to become one of the founding members of The West Virginia  Cooperative of Midwives. Harman has been a nurse-midwife on the  faculty of The Ohio State University, Case Western Reserve University  and most recently West Virginia University. In 1998 she went into  private practice with her husband, Tom, an OB/Gyn, in Morgantown, West  Virginia. Though she no longer attends births, she continues to work with her husband to provide  care for women in early pregnancy and through-out the life span.  Learn more about Harman and her work by visiting <a href="http://www.patriciaharman.com/">the author&#8217;s website</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12097" title="BlossomingoftheWorld" src="http://www.caribousmom.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/BlossomingoftheWorld.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="202" /><strong><span style="color: #003366;">The Blossoming of the World</span></strong> by Brian Peterson (due for release in July 2011 from <a href="http://www.tellmepress.com/pub_tbotw.php">Tell Me Press</a>) is a book of essays, journal entries and photographs where the author journeys &#8220;<em><span style="color: #003366;">to the deep end of life. Along the way he confronts some  painful contradictions&#8211;beauty and violence, love and grief&#8211;and  reflects on illness, family, death, dreams, epiphanies, and the birth of  self-awareness.</span></em>&#8221; In this collection of essays and images, Peterson  struggles to reconcile his Christian faith with his love of science,  creativity, and spirituality in all its manifestations. Full-color reproductions of Peterson&#8217;s photographs accompany the text.</p>
<p>Brian H. Peterson is the Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest Chief Curator at the James A Michener  Art Museum in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and has more than thirty years&#8217;  experience as an artist, curator, critic, and arts administrator in the  Philadelphia area.

<p>And last, but not least, <a href="http://www.harpercollins.com/imprints/index.aspx?imprintid=517986">Harper Perennial</a> sent me a copy of <strong><span style="color: #003366;">Russian Winter</span></strong> by Daphne Kalotay. This novel revolves around fictional, former Bolshoi Ballet star, Nina Revskaya who finds herself overwhelmed by  memories of her homeland, and of the events, both glorious and  heartbreaking, that changed her life half a century earlier. In  Russia she discovered the magic of dance and fell in love, and  where, faced with Stalinist aggression, a terrible discovery incited a  deadly act of betrayal—and an ingenious escape to the West. This debut novel has been described by the Washington Post as &#8220;<em><span style="color: #003366;">a magnificent tale of love, loss, betrayal, and redemption.</span></em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Daphne Kalotay grew up in New Jersey. She  attended Vassar College, majoring in psychology, before moving to Boston  to attend Boston University’s graduate program in fiction writing. She  stayed on at BU to study with Saul Bellow as part of the University  Professors program, where she earned a PhD in Modern and Contemporary  literature, writing her dissertation on one of her favorite writers,  Mavis Gallant.  While at Boston University, Kalotay’s stories won the school’s Florence  Engell Randall Fiction Prize and a Henfield Foundation Award. Her fiction collection <em>Calamity and Other Stories</em>, includes work first published in <em>Agni</em>, <em>Good Housekeeping</em>, <em>The Literary Review</em>, <em>Missouri Review</em>, <em>Michigan Quarterly Review</em>, and <em>Prairie Schooner</em>, and was short-listed for the Story Prize. Kalotay has taught literature and creative writing at Boston  University, Skidmore College, and Middlebury College. She lives in the  Boston area.
