"the middle place is about calling home. instinctively. even when all the paperwork -- a marriage license, a notarized deed, two birth certificates, and seven years of tax returns -- clearly indicates you're an adult, but all the same, there you are, clutching the phone and thanking god that you're still somebody's daughter." for kelly corrigan, family is everything. at thirty-six, she had a marriage that worked, a couple of funny, active kids, and a weekly newspaper column. but even as a thriving adult, kelly still saw herself as george corrigan's daughter. a garrulous irish-american charmer from baltimore, george was the center of the ebullient, raucous corrigan clan. he greeted every day by opening his bedroom window and shouting, "hello, world!" suffice it to say, kelly's was a colorful childhood, just the sort a girl could get attached to. kelly lives deep within what she calls the middle place -- "that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap" -- comfortably wedged between her adult duties and her parents' care. but she's abruptly shoved into a coming-of-age when she finds a lump in her breast -- and gets the diagnosis no one wants to hear. and so kelly's journey to full-blown adulthood begins. when george, too, learns he has late-stage cancer, it is kelly's turn to take care of the man who had always taken care of her -- and show us a woman as she finally takes the leap and grows up. kelly corrigan is a natural-born storyteller, a gift you quickly recognize as her father's legacy, and her stories are rich with everyday details. she captures the beat of an ordinary life and the tender, sometimes fractious moments that bind families together. rueful and honest, kelly is the prized friend who will tell you her darkest, lowest, screwiest thoughts, and then later, dance on the coffee table at your party. funny, yet heart-wrenching, the middle place is about being a parent and a child at the same time. it is about the special double-vision you get when you are standing with one foot in each place. it is about the family you make and the family you came from -- and locating, navigating, and finally celebrating the place where they meet. it is about reaching for life with both hands -- and finding it. show more (1)
experience the uplifting, unforgettable new york times bestseller about an abandoned kitten named dewey, whose life in a library won over a farming town and the world -- with over 2 million copies sold! (booklist) dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. on the coldest night of the year in spencer, iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of the spencer public library. he was found the next morning by library director vicki myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. for the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. as his fame grew from town to town, then state to state and finally, amazingly, worldwide, dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary heartland farming community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history. show more (1)
from the moment i met soraya i knew she was a winner, an amazingly talented and beautiful woman with something very spe-cial. her total dedication in everything she did and her selfless efforts to help others were and still are an inspiration not only to those of us who have had the privilege to be around her, but also to the thousands of people who still maintain her name and mission. soraya's courage to face every challenge is something that i will never forget . . . her words of hope and her music will live on in our souls. --ricky martin ""sometimes in life you meet someone special, and you know in that moment that they have a greater view on life . . . soraya was one of those people. she remains a strong and positive memory for me."" --bob waldron, president, yoplait usa ""soraya's music is infinitely intimate and precious, crafted and executed with the love and care of an artisan. there are few complete artists, but soraya is one of them-- a composer, guitarist, producer, arranger, and singer with a particularly emotive voice. the measure of her worth in the eyes of the music industry was obvious during the 2004 latin grammys, when she won the grammy for the newly created best singer-songwriter category, besting icons like juan gabriel, serrat, and leon gieco. many will remember soraya as a spokesperson, an educator, and a source of inspiration for so many people who battle cancer. yet her most lasting legacy is the one she continues to transmit through her songs, her music, and her guitar."" --leila cobo, billboard?magazine show more (1)
you get sick; you go to your doctor. too bad. because medicine isn't an industry, it's practically witchcraft. despite the growth of big pharma, hmos, and hospital chains, medicine remains the isolated work of individual doctors--and the system is going broke fast. so why is andy kessler--the man who told you outrageous stories of wall street analysts gone bad in wall street meat and tales from inside a hedge fund in running money--poking around medicine for the next big wave of technology? it's because he smells change coming. heart attacks, strokes, and cancer are a huge chunk of medical spending, yet there's surprisingly little effort to detect disease before it's life threatening. how lame is that--especially since the technology exists today to create computer-generated maps of your heart and colon? because it's too expensive--for now. but silicon valley has turned computing, telecom, finance, music, and media upside down by taking expensive new technologies and making them ridiculously cheap. so why not the $1.8 trillion health care business, where the easiest way to save money is to stop folks from getting sick in the first place? join kessler's bizarre search for the next big breakthrough as he tries to keep from passing out while following cardiologists around, cracks jokes while reading mammograms, and watches twitching mice get injected with radioactive probes. looking for a breakthrough, kessler even selflessly pokes, scans, and prods himself. ct scans of your heart will identify problems before you have a heart attack or stroke; a nanochip will search your blood for cancer cells--five years before they grow uncontrollably and kill you; and baby boomers can breathe a little easier because it's all starting to happen now. your doctor can't be certain what's going on inside your body, but technology will. embedding the knowledge of doctors in silicon will bring a breakout technology to health care, and we will soon see an end of medicine as we know it. show more (1)
