Review & Description

As a young woman, Jodi Williams had it all planned - the perfect career, the gorgeous man and the designer wardrobe. But things don't always go according to plan. Early in her adult life, Jodi was diagnosed with a medical condition that sent her weight spiralling out of control.

Her dream life turned into a nightmare. Through out the ensuing years of depression and obesity, Jodi continued to search for a solution to her seemingly unwinnable weight war. Until she finally found it - gastric banding.

In this book, Jodi reveals her emotional and sometimes downright hilarious journey to gastric banding and beyond. She gives an unflinchingly honest portrayal of the often underestimated physical, mental, emotional and lifestyle changes required by this little piece of plastic.

Review & Description

In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen.

For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse.

For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation.

On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I don’t think of myself as a victim. I survived.

A Stolen Life is my story—in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it.

---

The pine cone is a symbol that represents the seed of a new beginning for me. To help facilitate new beginnings, with the support of animal-assisted therapy, the J A Y C Foundation provides support and services for the timely treatment of families recovering from abduction and the aftermath of traumatic experiences—families like my own who need to learn how to heal. In addition, the J A Y C Foundation hopes to facilitate awareness in schools about the important need to care for one another.

Our motto is “Just Ask Yourself to . . . Care!”

A portion of my proceeds from this memoir will be donated to The J A Y C Foundation Inc.

Horoscopes for the Dead: Poems (Hardcover)

Horoscopes for the Dead: Poems
Horoscopes for the Dead: Poems (Hardcover)
By Billy Collins

Review & Description

Billy Collins is widely acknowledged as a prominent player at the table of modern American poetry. And in this new collection, Horoscopes for the Dead, the verbal gifts that earned him the title “America’s most popular poet” are on full display. The poems here cover the usual but everlasting themes of love and loss, life and death, youth and aging, solitude and union. With simple diction and effortless turns of phrase, Collins is at once ironic and elegiac, as in the opening lines of the title poem:
 
Every morning since you disappeared for good,
I read about you in the newspaper
along with the box scores, the weather, and all the bad news.
Some days I am reminded that today
will not be a wildly romantic time for you . . .
 
And in this reflection on his own transience:
 
It doesn’t take much to remind me
what a mayfly I am,
what a soap bubble floating over the children’s party.
Standing under the bones of a dinosaur
in a museum does the trick every time
or confronting in a vitrine a rock from the moon.
 
Smart, lyrical, and not afraid to be funny, these new poems extend Collins’s reputation as a poet who occupies a special place in the consciousness of readers of poetry, including the many he has converted to the genre. Read more
