Women in today’s advanced capitalist societies are encouraged to “lean in.” The media and government champion women’s empowerment. In a cultural climate where women can seemingly have it all, why do so many successful professional women—lawyers, financial managers, teachers, engineers, and others—give up their careers after having children and become stay-at-home mothers? How do they feel about their decision and what do their stories tell us about contemporary society? Heading Home reveals the stark gap between the promise of gender equality and women’s experience of continued injustice. Shani Orgad draws on in-depth, personal, and profoundly ambivalent interviews with highly educated London women who left paid employment to take care of their children while their husbands continued to work in high-powered jobs. Despite identifying the structural forces that maintain gender inequality, these women still struggle to articulate their decisions outside the narrow cultural ideals that devalue motherhood and individualize success and failure. Orgad juxtaposes these stories with media and policy depictions of women, work, and family, detailing how—even as their experiences fly in the face of fantasies of work-life balance and marriage as an egalitarian partnership—these women continue to interpret and judge themselves according to the ideals that are failing them. Rather than calling for women to transform their feelings and behavior, Heading Home argues that we must unmute and amplify women’s desire, disappointment, and rage, and demand social infrastructure that will bring about long-overdue equality both at work and at home.

If God is our creator and wants us to follow Him, why does everything have to be so complicated? Timeline gaps and the laws of physics forcefully argue against such vague spiritual nonsense. No wonder so many ignore God Almighty and His primary means of communication, the Bible. Combining whimsy with apologetics and scripture-based teaching with personal challenges, C. Carol Oravetz leads readers on a soul-searching, forty-day journey through the Advent season, the frontier of life, and beyond. Within a nontraditional devotional, she follows the footsteps of Moses, who led the infant nation of Israel from Egyptian slavery, through a vast wilderness of fear and rescue, failure and victory, poverty and provision, discipline and faith, heartbreak and monotony, until they reached their final destination, Canaan, The Promised Land, Home. Over a thousand years later, the lessons of the wilderness would be embodied in a man who would change the world, Jesus of Nazareth. Headed Home chronicles the life of Moses and explores the divine instructions he received revealing God’s love and rescue plan for humanity.

As a follow-up to his best-selling book, “Going Home - A Backpacker’s Journey,” Thomas Ashley Young continues his travels this time from everyday experiences that border on the insane. Ripe with peripheral invisibleness, Tom’s journeys could be your own; that is, if you jump ouside the box that others have crystallized for you. His expanded use of outside-the-writing-rules techniques have earned him raised eyebrows from even his closest friends. Said one, “Tom is a certified nut, but at least he’s screwed onto the right Bolt.”

Noting a phenomenon that might seem to recall a previous era, The New York Times Magazine recently portrayed women who leave their careers in order to become full-time mothers as "opting out." But, are high-achieving professional women really choosing to abandon their careers in order to return home? This provocative study is the first to tackle this issue from the perspective of the women themselves. Based on a series of candid, in-depth interviews with women who returned home after working as doctors, lawyers, bankers, scientists, and other professions, Pamela Stone explores the role that their husbands, children, and coworkers play in their decision; how women’s efforts to construct new lives and new identities unfold once they are home; and where their aspirations and plans for the future lie. What we learn—contrary to many media perceptions—is that these high-flying women are not opting out but are instead being pushed out of the workplace. Drawing on their experiences, Stone outlines concrete ideas for redesigning workplaces to make it easier for women—and men—to attain their goal of living rewarding lives that combine both families and careers.
