Taking Up Space: How Eating Well & Exercising Regularly Changed My Life by Pattie Thomas, Ph.D. with Carl Wilkerson, M.B.A. is a sociological memoir about being fat and the physical, emotional and economic costs of trying to pass for thin in a culture that stigmatizes fat people.

Love is the Thread traces the way one spiritual friendship can change all our relationships. Sustained by the metaphor of knitting, the memoir centers on the friendship between two women, one snared in a life-long struggle with bipolar disorder and the other reweaving her life after an abusive relationship. Spirituality, encounters with nature, and vacations on the Delaware shore form the threads of a friendship as varied and closely knit as the stitches in a handmade sweater.

Central for a Pearlsong Conversation with
Leslie Moïse writes memoir,
historical, and fair tal inspired fiction, a logical progression since her
Ph.D. included an emphasis on Nineteenth Century women's fairy tales. When
not at wok on her own writing, she loves to help others bring their
stories to life. She lives in Kentucky with a whippet who thinks he's more
intimidating than a Doberman, and a bay mare who considers herself a lap
pony.
