It's not all beer, skittles and Dr Spock, this motherhood caper. Somewhere between the experts who theorise and the amateurs who practise is a wide deep gap. Experts have written a lot on how to raise children. In a free society, you pay your money and take your pick. Starting from the Good Book (the original spare-the-rod-and-spoil-the-child advocate) to the very latest volumes out on toddler taming, child psychology and emotional problems (the child's, not yours). One of the interesting side effects completely ignored by experts is how raising children lowers mothers - right down. They are reduced to tears, tea and aspirin, hysterics, sherry, cigarettes, blunt instruments, bullying and blackmail. Some of the more fortunate are driven to sympathetic psychiatrists and rest homes. All this keeps the rest home industry healthy, ups the sales of something to fortify and simultaneously drown your problems in at supermarkets and liquor stores, and gives the experts on outer suburban neuroses plenty of material. Life with children is composed of confrontations, truces, compromises and intermittent battles. Suitable textbooks on survival of child raising might well include guerrilla warfare, unarmed combat and, of course, communications - handy for negotiating terms for truces, compromises, moratoriums, rescues of badly wounded psyches, egos and compensation payments when in the wrong (which is always). In the no-man's-land of the outer suburban battlefields, this motherhood caper keeps going on (when will they ever learn?) and so do the battles. And unfortunately we don't win 'em all.
What protection do females have from the social culture moulding the humans they develop into? The fourteen sharply perceptive tales in A Feminine Perspective celebrate the quiet courage within each woman's heart.

Margaret Anna Cusack, the founder of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, was bold, courageous and visionary. She dedicated her life to fighting social injustice, especially toward the poor and woman and children. In 1884, she founded the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, a religious order whose members still actively live her founding charism of peace through justice.Based on Cusack's many books, biographies, letters and other research, Dorothy Vidulich, herself a Sister of St. Joseph of Peace, has written a concise study of Cusack's life. In particular, she has focused on Cusack's courage to confront the discrimination and injustice promulgated by society and a patriarchal church, which ultimately forced her to leave the religious order she had founded for it to be saved.
The Great Depression of 1929 hit Margaret Corey like a white-out blizzard. She was pregnant, her husband Arthur lost his job, and bills were piling up. Arthur slogged the streets, not only searching for work but also for an answer to the hunger in his soul. God found him, filled him with passion for the Gospel, and called him to full-time ministry. "I don't have the faith for that " cried Margaret. "Your faith will have to suffice for both of us." So begins a life of learning to trust God and her husband--an iron-minded, unconventional, and miracle-praying preacher. From a trove of treasured keepsakes, Eleanor Corey summons the authentic, but self-deprecating voice of her mother Margaret. Facing pressure cookers of deprivation, self-denial, and heartache, the resilient matriarch chooses priorities of perseverance and prayer. At times witty, at times heart-rending, but always relevant, Margaret Corey provides an inspirational example of life lived to its fullest within the unpredictable parameters apportioned to her...all the while raising from hardscrabble beginnings those ten children whose innovations and adventures are chronicled in the author's first book: Sticks, Stones & Songs-The Corey Story . Photos from family albums enhance the text. **
The Peace of the Solomon Valley is a novel by Margaret Hill McCarter. The story takes place in the late 1800s in the Solomon Valley of Kansas, where a group of settlers are struggling to make a life in the harsh and unforgiving frontier. The main character, Mary Barclay, is a young woman who has been raised in the East and is sent to live with her aunt and uncle in the valley after the death of her parents. Mary is initially resistant to the idea of living in such a harsh and primitive environment, but she soon grows to love the land and the people who live there. As Mary settles into her new life, she becomes involved in the struggles of the settlers, who are being threatened by a group of cattle rustlers who are determined to drive them off their land. Mary joins forces with a group of settlers who are determined to stand up to the rustlers and protect their homes and families. Along the way, she falls in love with a young rancher named Jack Randall, who is also fighting against the rustlers.The Peace of the Solomon Valley is a stirring tale of love, courage, and determination in the face of adversity.

Discussion-provoking stories for conflict resolution.Maybe it's the king who spills honey, and then says it is not his problem - until it causes a war. Or maybe it's some sandpipers and whales who get into a foolish fight that almost destroys their homes. Perhaps it's the man who thinks that a gun makes him strong or the monkeys who follow their leader into water that's too deep. Peace Tales contains more than three dozen folktales and proverbs that illustrate these choices. Always fun to read these stories also prompt us to think about the seemingly minor events that lead to war and the little events that can also lead to peace. Stories from across the globe are accompanied by generous story notes, source information, and suggestions for further reading on the topic of peace. These environmentally-aware stories will teach readers the importance of citizenship, fairness and responsibility. A Booklist review praises, "These inventive tales teach without preaching and offer practical solutions to inevitable conflicts."
