Polly Kahl started blogging about the Gosselins after they moved to her small town of Wernersville, Pennsylvania. In the next two years she experienced a whirlwind of life lessons about reality TV and the business of entertainment as the Gosselin family splintered and eventually broke apart. Jon & Kate Plus Eight: "Reality" TV & the Selling of the Gosselins is full of insightful interviews, discussions and practical solutions from researcher Jennifer L Pozner, child advocate Paul Petersen, actor Eric Roberts, body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass, Becki Dilley, parent of the Dilley sextuplets, and other experts on the entertainment industry and reality TV. The author, a professional counselor, adds her unique voice to the discussion with commentaries on the psychological aspects of the Gosselin phenomenon in this examination of "reality" TV and its impact on a fractured family TLC once called Jon & Kate Plus Eight. ENDORSEMENTS Polly Kahl's book takes the reader on a shocking journey behind the fake smiley faces of a popular reality television show. Having participated in realty television myself, I know the pressure camera crews are under to create interesting television from what might otherwise be boring times. Polly's story casts that pressure and its effects in a new, and rather ruthless, light. I don't know if this story has any heroes; perhaps everyone is a victim or villain. It certainly makes me see today's reality TV from a new and more critical perspective. -John Elder Robison, bestselling author of Look Me in the Eye and Be Different Some wonderful works of art have emerged from blogs Juno, the movie...and now Polly Kahl's book. We've heard horror stories about the life of Shirley Temple, and her mother's cold obsession with her success, and her horror as her daughter started to grow up and "lose her cute." The Brady Bunch kids were hated by the real children of the actors playing the parents. What happens when there's no separation? When the show family and the real family are one? Where does a child turn then? This book forces us to look at that, and gives us a means to take some steps to protect children in the fast-growing industry of reality TV. The beauty of it is that Polly offers solutions to the problems on which she sheds light. And we all need to be part of the solution. As the author points out, this is a time to think with our hearts. -Eliza & Eric Roberts, Actors & Child Advocates Prospective child stars and their stage parents have a best friend in Polly Kahl. Her very readable book on The Gosselins can serve as a warning to all future Michaels. While extremely entertaining, it is also a valuable reference as to the impact of reality TV on a family. It is a must read for anyone interested in celebrity culture and child development. -Michael Brody M.D., Chair of the Media Committee, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Being in the spotlight is no easy task. I should know, having been a child actor from the ages of three to eighteen but I could leave the set, go home and be a kid. Not so for the eight Gosselin children, they have no escape. Polly Kahl looks at the sad truth about reality shows and their effect on the lives of their young participants. -Jon Provost, former child actor of film and television, Timmy in TV's Lassie This book should be required reading for any college course that studies the popular genre of reality television. Counselor Polly Kahl's background in psychology gives her an added edge in crafting interviews that draw out vital information while packing a punch. Reality TV fans and fans of Jon & Kate Plus Eight will never think of the show in the same way again after reading this compassionate study of the effects of reality TV on the Gosselins. Click "add to cart" for this interesting read. -Suzanne Finnamore, bestselling author of Split and The Zygote

Kate Roberts (1891-1985) was the foremost twentieth-century prose writer in the Welsh language. She produced a considerable body of fiction, seven novels and novellas and nine collections of short stories, and was active in the Welsh Nationalist Party as a publisher and a literary and political journalist. A contemporary of D. H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, and Sherwood Anderson, she created the modern form of the short story in Welsh, and through six decades of writing earned a place with this century's masters of the genre. "The World of Kate Roberts" offers in English a large selection of stories, many previously, untranslated, that span her long writing career.Joseph P. Clancy's translations convey the intensity, the insight, and the distinctive prose style with which this Welsh-language writer illuminates her characters' often heroic ordinary lives. This book contains twenty-seven short stories, two short novels, and "Tea in the Heather," eight linked stories of childhood in North Wales at the turn of the century. Excerpts from her autobiography provide background for the non-Welsh reader and an Introduction presents Kate Roberts' life and work largely through her own words. The experience of poverty is the vital center of Kate Roberts' fiction: material poverty in the slate-quarrying villages of North Wales and the coal-mining communities in the south at the turn of the century and during the Depression; and the cultural, moral, and spiritual poverty of contemporary life in a small town.This poverty defines the experiences and tests the resources of her characters. Her concern was to record, to examine, and to celebrate without sentimentality the life of the close-knit society in which she had grown up. What is most characteristically Welsh in Roberts' vision is that fellowship, membership in a community, is essential to the realization of the human self. "We never saw riches," observed Kate Roberts, "but we had riches that no one can take away from us, the riches of a language and a culture." Joseph P. Clancy, a poet and a leading translator from the Welsh, is Professor Emeritus of English Literature and Theatre Arts at Marymount Manhattan College.

Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901), was an English novelist, known for her huge output. She was devoted to the Church of England, and much influenced by John Keble, a near neighbour and one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement. Her novels reflected the values and concerns of Anglo-Catholicism. She began writing in 1848, and published during her long life about 100 works, chiefly novels. Her first commercial success, The Heir of Redclyffe (1854), provided the funding to enable the schooner Southern Cross to be put into service on behalf of George Selwyn. Similar charitable works were done with the profits from later novels. She was also editor, for nearly forty years, of a magazine for young ladies, the Monthly Packet with a varied readership, but targeted at British Anglican girls.
