It was in 1859 that Cristian Martin, a poor blacksmith's son saw villagers who became involved in escapades that ultimately brought them to a trial of a traitor, during which soldiers and many villagers were killed during a scuffle, the boy who admired the ladies gowns of the day, found himself suddenly changed from a boy into a girl, to save him from the law, a role he would continue the rest of his life, when his sister Charlotte bought Anson House and became lady of the manor and making both the boy and herself the richest family in Cornwall. Even though he came to regret his change from man to woman on many occasions and he found romance with another young man of the village Robert Phillips.

Like so many others who served in World War II, Leon Granacki was an ordinary guy from a working-class immigrant family drafted into the US Army and thrust into the horrors of war in the South Pacific. But through sheer luck and pluck, he leveraged his art talents to survive and thrive, catapulting himself from private infantryman to Master Sergeant and mapmaker for General McArthur in the Americal Division's Intelligence section. Inspired by the Southern Cross as his troop transport crossed the equator, he designed the Americal Division patch for the Army's only named division, created in New Caledonia. Overseas for three-and-a-half years without any stateside furlough, he labored over maps of enemy positions in a primitive tent in the steamy, mosquito-infested jungles of Guadalcanal and Bougainville. In An Artist Goes to War, author Victoria Ann Granacki paints a portrait of her father, Leon, through his original maps, jungle watercolors, journal illustrations, scrapbook photos, and letters home to "Dear Gang"-his extended Polish American family crowded together in a Chicago "six-flat" apartment building. Despite only slyly alluding to awful conditions to evade the censors' scissors, his indomitable optimism always comes through. The Polish-language letters directed to his beloved parents are filled with childlike tenderness as he tries to reassure them he'll be safe. His plaintive longings for family, holidays home, fishing, and a woman to love are poignant reminders of the personal effects of war on reluctant soldiers.

Recovering Together: Clinician Guide

Having an acute neurological illness (ANI; e.g., stroke, brain injury) is often traumatic for patients and the family or friends who support them (e.g., caregivers). The sudden onset of symptoms, admission to an intensive care unit, and prognostic uncertainty contribute to emotional distress symptoms (depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress) in both patients and their informal caregivers. This early distress is interdependent between patients and caregivers, and, if untreated can become chronic and interfere with patient's recovery and caregivers' quality of life. Addressing early emotional distress with both the patient and caregiver (e.g., together called a dyad) accounts for this interdependency and can be an effective and efficient modality to prevent chronic emotional distress in both. Recovering Together (RT) is a 6-session, modular dyadic resiliency intervention that aims to prevent chronic emotional distress following an ANI. This intervention integrates evidence-based approaches including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy and repackages them in ways that decrease cognitive load and increase accessibility in the context of an ANI. It teaches mindfulness skills (e.g., deep breathing, present moment awareness), coping skills (e.g., dialectics, meaning-making, adaptive thinking), and interpersonal skills (e.g., communication, coping with role changes). RT can be delivered within a hospital as well as over live video. This clinician guide provides session-by-session instructions, scripts, in-session activities, and home practice assignments, which can be used in conjunction with the accompanying patient and caregiver workbook. Corresponding materials available online provide additional opportunity for practice.

Continuing the story of the historical novel "Louisa Elliot", this is a tale of lost innocence, family conflict and an overwhelming but impossible love.
Suzie, a widow with two grown-up daughters, has made a success of her life – until, at a public event, she is faced by the man she last saw as a teenager, forty years ago. James, once a history student, is now an Anglican priest in Oxford, battling his own demons and trying to mend the sins of the past. When he says he wants to find the child Suzie gave up for adoption in the 1960s, her shock turns to fury. After what he did – and after such a betrayal – how dare he even ask? Determined to spell things out for James, Suzie has questions of her own. The answers change her perspective, but if she agrees to search for her adopted son, she must face her own guilt as well as fears that her son may, in turn, reject her. Over the succeeding months, she and James grow closer. The old attraction isn’t dead, and while desire battles with resentment on Suzie’s part, James is struggling with principle and belief. From rural Yorkshire to the tragic world of mother-and-baby homes, the past takes Suzie to the bright lights of London, life with her artist husband, and back to recent times in York. But only when she’s faced with death in the high Pennines, can she begin to heal; and only when James has laid the past to rest, can he begin to forgive himself.
