What’s a Park Avenue working mom to do when her troubled son desperately needs a male role model and her husband is a power workaholic? If she’s like the gutsy heroine of Holly Peterson’s astute new comedy of manners among the ill-mannered elite, she does what every other woman on the block does. She hires herself a “manny.” A solid middle-class girl from Middle America, Jamie Whitfield isn’t “one of them” but she lives in “the Grid,” the wealthiest acre of real estate in Manhattan, where big money and big media collide. And she has most everything they have–a big new apartment, full-time help with her three children, as well as her very own detached Master of the Universe attorney husband. What she doesn’t have, however, is a full-time father figure for their struggling nine-year-old son, Dylan. But the rich haven’t yet encountered a problem they can’t hire someone else to solve. Enter the manny. At first the idea of paying a man to provide a role model for Dylan sounds too crazy to be true. But one look at Peter Bailey is enough to convince Jamie that the idea may not be quite so insane after all. Peter is calm, cool, competent, and so charmingly down-to-earth, he’s irresistible. And with the political sex scandal of the decade propelling her career as a news producer into overdrive, and her increasingly erratic husband locked in his study with suspicious files, Jamie is in serious need of some grounding. Peter reminds her of everything she once was, still misses, and underneath all the high-society glitz, still is. But will the new manny in her life put the ground back beneath her feet, or sweep her off them?

THIS IS A SPELL BINDING STORY  A MUST READ

"Silent Drums: Adapt, Improvise, Overcome!" tells the true 73 yearlong (so far) life struggle of a loving husband who also happens to be a decorated gay Vietnam War combat Marine afflicted with terminal cancer caused by his exposure to "Agent Orange." My good friend Bob LeBlanc's life as told in my non-fiction account, which reads like a novel, personalizes the fight for full LGBT equality as it informs, enlightens and entertains by taking you inside the extreme injustice that all of us in my LGBT community are forced to endure. Bob's personal journey spans the entire length of today's LGBT civil rights movement and directly involves U. S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, first in 1975 as a judge on the 9th circuit court of appeals when Kennedy intervened in Bob's case against the Marine Corps then again in Kennedy's SCOTUS decisions in 2013 and 2015 on marriage equality. "Silent Drums" is not a war story as the book also chronicles the challenges faced by Bob's partner, now husband, Julio, who only recently was granted legal immigration status, a process that is considerably less complicated for heterosexual couples. The final chapter of "Silent Drums" seeks a presidential pardon for Bob's conviction in a case brought by a bigoted commanding officer who was upset with Judge Kennedy's issuance of the above mentioned restraining order. The Judge in this case refused to punish Bob and the Prosecutor offered to sign Bob's reenlistment papers when the bigoted CO refused his signature. I hope you purchase "Silent Drums" but if you don't, please sign this online petition supporting my request for a presidential pardon? https: //www.change.org/p/barack-obama-president-obama-please-pardon-a-decorated-gay-vietnam-war-combat-marine Thanks, Pam

A History of the Redhead

Red is a brilliantly told, captivating history of red hair throughout the ages. A book that breaks new ground, dispels myths, and reinforces the special nature of being a redhead, with a look at multiple disciplines, including science, religion, politics, feminism and sexuality, literature, and art.

With an obsessive fascination that is as contagious as it is compelling, author Jacky Colliss Harvey (herself a redhead) begins her exploration of red hair in prehistory and traces the redhead gene as it made its way out of Africa with the early human diaspora to its emergence under Northern skies. She goes on to explore red hair in the ancient world; the prejudice manifested against red hair across medieval Europe; red hair during the Renaissance as both an indicator of Jewishness during the Inquisition and the height of fashion in Protestant England, under the reign of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I; the modern age of art and literature, and the first positive symbols of red hair in children's characters; modern medicine and science and the genetic and chemical decoding of red hair; and finally, red hair in contemporary culture, from advertising and exploitation to "gingerism" and the new movement against bullying.

Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression

A bestseller for over 20 years, I Don't Want to Talk About It is a groundbreaking and hopeful guide to understanding and destigmatizing male depression, essential not only for men who may be suffering but for the people who love them.

Twenty years of experience treating men and their families has convinced psychotherapist Terrence Real that depression is a silent epidemic in men--that men hide their condition from family, friends, and themselves to avoid the stigma of depression's "un-manliness." Problems that we think of as typically male--difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, abusive behavior, and rage--are really attempts to escape depression. And these escape attempts only hurt the people men love and pass their condition on to their children.

This groundbreaking book is the "pathway out of darkness" that these men and their families seek. Real reveals how men can unearth their pain, heal themselves, restore relationships, and break the legacy of abuse. He mixes penetrating analysis with compelling tales of his patients and even his own experiences with depression as the son of a violent, depressed father and the father of two young sons.
