According to a recent survey, social anxiety and shyness are on the increase. This is as relevant to the retired widow as it is to the ambitious young business executive. This book is a collection of the key things all of us need to know in order to go about our daily and business lives with confidence.

The author's romanticizing and grieving for her lost parents and America extends from the Prohibition era, its glamour and notoriety, with figures like Warren Harding and Josephine Baker to Enron, urban decay, and illegal immigration.

A portrait of marriage, caretaking, grief, and recovery. Carole Stone’s Limited Editions is an end-of-life narrative journey, from her long-term marriage to the illness and death of her husband. Stone’s honest, understated, and detailed poems, each packed with narrative, bring us to the heart of her loss. Stone does not flinch in her descriptions of her husband’s suffering and dying moments. She dispassionately describes the everyday details of coping with being on her own—from daily household chores to the loneliness of being single as an aging woman. With Stone’s crisp observations and raw honesty, Limited Editions challenges the reader to think about death, grief, widowhood, and aging as a natural process in the life cycle.
