A Novel

Grappling with motherhood, economic anxiety, rage, and the limits of language, Want is a fiercely personal novel that vibrates with anger, insight, and love. Elizabeth is tired. Years after coming to New York to try to build a life, she has found herself with two kids, a husband, two jobs, a PhD—and now they’re filing for bankruptcy. As she tries to balance her dream and the impossibility of striving toward it while her work and home lives feel poised to fall apart, she wakes at ungodly hours to run miles by the icy river, struggling to quiet her thoughts. When she reaches out to Sasha, her long-lost childhood friend, it feels almost harmless—one of those innocuous ruptures that exist online, in texts. But her timing is uncanny. Sasha is facing a crisis, too, and perhaps after years apart, their shared moments of crux can bring them back into each other’s lives. In Want, Strong explores the subtle violences enacted on a certain type of woman when she dares to want things—and all the various violences in which she implicates herself as she tries to survive.

The Truth about Why We're Still Single

A startling book full of jaw-dropping insights into the real reasons that young men and women are having a harder time than ever before committing to a relationship How many times have you or someone you care about wondered: Why am I still single? Is it me, or is it them? Unhooked Generation answers those questions with important discoveries about the unique challenges faced by today's young men and women. It shouldnt be surprising that were still single -- it's a miracle when we can make it work. Here are just a few of this generation's stumbling blocks: --The checklist - the secret set of requirements that men and women use to measure each prospective date. Is he tall enough/rich enough Is she pretty enough/flexible enough Does he/she like sports too much or not enough Like your dog --The DTR -- Have you "Defined The Relationship"? Had "The Talk"? It's when you ask where the relationship is going -- and it strikes fear into most hearts. --Settling -- When is it compromise and when is it giving in -- To this generation, those concepts are often synonymous. --Consumer sex -- Sex is a powerful commodity, and this generation has separated it from commitment while ignoring the long-term consequences. Based on interviews with one hundred men and women across the country, Unhooked Generation offers a page-turning analysis of what is keeping this generation unhooked -- and a sharp, concrete final chapter that explains how we can happily change course.

The Puritans came to New England not merely to save their souls but to establish a "visible" kingdom of God, a society where outward conduct would be according to God's laws. This book discusses the desire of the Puritans to be socially virtuous and their wish to force social virtue upon others.

The Courts, the Kids, and the Struggle to Save America's Trouble Families

Award-winning journalists Hubner and Wolfson offer a pathbreaking investigation of the family court system where over two and a half million cases are decided every year, through this examination of the day-to-day workings and life-and-death decisions in one typical family court system in Santa Clara County, California. A sunbelt boomtown, urban slum, and rural paradise all combined, Santa Clara mirrors the problems of most American cities, making it the perfect model for this insightful and often harrowing chronicle which provides an intimate look at the lives of the children whose fate the court decides. This powerful book tells the personal stories of a battle between biological and adoptive parents for the right to raise a baby born drug-addicted; an eight-year-old caught in his parents' bitter divorce; and a teenage mother raising her children in a neighborhood ruled by gangs. Throughout there are the hundreds of caseworkers, judges, and social workers struggling in the trenches, trying to make the system work, trying to protect the children forgotten by society. Clearly and engagingly written, Somebody Else's Children offers rare insight into the state of the American family today. "Powerful...A gut-wrenching book. The portraits are etched in acid. While it may not be the kind of book all of us want to read, it certainly is the kind we should."--"Washington Post
