An excerpt from Dirty Feet and Hungry Hearts-- "Why? This was the question my sister and I asked each other, over and over. Every time we started talking about our mother, it was always this unanswered question we were left with. Why was she so unhappy? Why was she so abusive to Daddy, who loved her with his whole heart and soul? Why wouldn't she take care of herself? When I decided to try and find the answer, it was very hard to face those long buried memories from my childhood. But I did come to understand why." Author Jeanette Gardner uses her deeply personal memoir to share the touching story of her mother Pearl's journey, from growing up the daughter of a wealthy family in Illinois to living in a shack in Wyoming.

Our young people are precious, and we all share the dream of them having positive futures. However, many of our young people have lost hope in our society. Statistics show their mental health has been deteriorating for a number of years, and suicide is the leading cause of death for young people. Reports show that the situation rose to crisis levels during the COVID-19 crisis. In her book The Language of Hope, Jeanette Pritchard explores why our young people have lost hope in our society and what we can do about it. It lays out a roadmap for how we can reset society so our young people can have a positive future. It suggests that the energy needed to drive that reset needs to come from community members kickstarting their hearts and reclaiming the heart's language - a language made up of HopeEmpathyActionRelationshipsTrust, all of which are desperately needed for young people to find hope again. The book is based on Jeanette's experience with young people. For many years she was a secondary teacher, but since 2003 she has focused her energy on working with schools and communities to create mentoring programs for young people . These programs have included the Standing Tall program in Hamilton, Victoria, and the Big Futures program within the BigBrothersBigSisters Australia organisation. Jeanette has been awarded both the Westfield Premier's Education Scholarship and the Victorian Department of Education Excellence Award for community school engagement.
The most beguilingly seductive novel to date from the author of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. Winterson chronicles the consuming affair between the narrator, who is given neither name nor gender, and the beloved, a complex and confused married woman. "At once a love story and a philosophical meditation." --New York Times Book Review.
One of the most audacious and provocative writers on either side of the Atlantic now gives readers a dazzling, arousing, and wise improvisation on art, Eros, language, and identity. "A series of intense, artful musings that are exhilarating and visionary. . . . Unsettling yet strangely satisfying."--Newsday.
In these ten intertwined essays, one of our most provocative young novelists proves that she is just as stylish and outrageous an art critic. For when Jeanette Winterson looks at works as diverse as the Mona Lisa and Virginia Woolf's The Waves, she frees them from layers of preconception and restores their power to exalt and unnerve, shock and transform us. "Art Objects is a book to be admired for its effort to speak exorbitantly, urgently and sometimes beautifully about art and about our individual and collective need for serious art."--Los Angeles Times
