Eva Doherty Gremmert has written a loving, poignant book about the deep joys and profound challenges of raising a son with complex physical and mental disabilities. She recounts with great suspense her struggles with skeptical doctors, stubborn educators and her own raw emotions as she strives to give her son the chance to live his best possible life. Our Time To Dance is a gentle, readable and inspiring story of faith, perseverance and fierce love." Debby Applegate, author of The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher, 2007 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Biography "If you've ever wondered if you can get through the insane challenges of life and not just survive - but thrive! - you'll find the answer as you read this amazing story written by Eva Doherty Gremmert.

You don't want to miss the uplift you'll find in this remarkable tale of hope and overcoming!" DeAnna Murphy, CEO of People Acuity, Author, Keynote Speaker, Top 100 Global Coaching Leader "Eva Doherty Gremmert's emotional and poignant story about her son's journey with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) was written from her heart and soul. Caring for a loved one with LGS, and recalling the countless seizures and hospital visits, is not an easy thing to do. But Eva's passion for her son is apparent through her writing. This book, Our Time To Dance, is highly recommended for any parent or caregiver who feels alone in their LGS journey." Christina SanInocencio, Executive Director LGS Foundation (Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome) "A triumphant memoir! With unflinching candor and poignant acumen Gremmert potently captures and conveys the joy and sorrow of mothering a child with a disability. The achievement of the memoir is its refusal to sentimentalize the mother's very real struggles in raising her son, while simultaneously challenging normative assumptions that position disability as a burden. Our Time to Dance is not only a journey to joy but a maternal rendering of the hero's quest. A book for all mothers to read and rejoice in!"

Padma Venkatraman’s inspiring story of a young girl’s struggle to regain her passion and find a new peace is told lyrically through verse that captures the beauty and mystery of India and the ancient bharatanatyam dance form. This is a stunning novel about spiritual awakening, the power of art, and above all, the courage and resilience of the human spirit. Veda, a classical dance prodigy in India, lives and breathes dance—so when an accident leaves her a below-knee amputee, her dreams are shattered. For a girl who’s grown used to receiving applause for her dance prowess and flexibility, adjusting to a prosthetic leg is painful and humbling. But Veda refuses to let her disability rob her of her dreams, and she starts all over again, taking beginner classes with the youngest dancers. Then Veda meets Govinda, a young man who approaches dance as a spiritual pursuit. As their relationship deepens, Veda reconnects with the world around her, and begins to discover who she is and what dance truly means to her.

Thousands of books have examined the effects of parents on their children. In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior now asks: what are the effects of children on their parents? In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and analyzing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self. She argues that changes in the last half century have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and far less clear. Recruiting from a wide variety of sources—in history, sociology, economics, psychology, philosophy, and anthropology—she dissects both the timeless strains of parenting and the ones that are brand new, and then brings her research to life in the homes of ordinary parents around the country. The result is an unforgettable series of family portraits, starting with parents of young children and progressing to parents of teens. Through lively and accessible storytelling, Senior follows these mothers and fathers as they wrestle with some of parenthood's deepest vexations—and luxuriate in some of its finest rewards. Meticulously researched yet imbued with emotional intelligence, All Joy and No Fun makes us reconsider some of our culture's most basic beliefs about parenthood, all while illuminating the profound ways children deepen and add purpose to our lives. By focusing on parenthood, rather than parenting, the book is original and essential reading for mothers and fathers of today—and tomorrow.

National bestseller An ALA Notable Book Three-term poet laureate Joy Harjo offers a vivid, lyrical, and inspiring call for love and justice in this contemplation of her trailblazing life. Joy Harjo, the first Native American to serve as U.S. poet laureate, invites us to travel along the heartaches, losses, and humble realizations of her "poet-warrior" road. A musical, kaleidoscopic, and wise follow-up to Crazy Brave, Poet Warrior reveals how Harjo came to write poetry of compassion and healing, poetry with the power to unearth the truth and demand justice. Harjo listens to stories of ancestors and family, the poetry and music that she first encountered as a child, and the messengers of a changing earth—owls heralding grief, resilient desert plants, and a smooth green snake curled up in surprise. She celebrates the influences that shaped her poetry, among them Audre Lorde, N. Scott Momaday, Walt Whitman, Muscogee stomp dance call-and-response, Navajo horse songs, rain, and sunrise. In absorbing, incantatory prose, Harjo grieves at the loss of her mother, reckons with the theft of her ancestral homeland, and sheds light on the rituals that nourish her as an artist, mother, wife, and community member. Moving fluidly between prose, song, and poetry, Harjo recounts a luminous journey of becoming, a spiritual map that will help us all find home. Poet Warrior sings with the jazz, blues, tenderness, and bravery that we know as distinctly Joy Harjo.
