Welfare Reform in Persistent Rural Poverty

Dreams, Disenchantments, and Diversity

By: Kathleen Ann Pickering

Since the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 was enacted, policy makers, agency administrators, community activists, and academics from a broad range of disciplines have debated and researched the implications of welfare reform in the United States. Most of the attention, however, has focused on urban rather than rural America. Welfare Reform in Persistent Rural Poverty examines welfare participants who live in chronically poor rural areas of the United States where there are few job opportunities and poor systems of education, transportation, and child care. Kathleen Pickering and her colleagues look at welfare reform as it has been experienced in four rural and impoverished regions of the United States: American Indian reservations in South Dakota, the Rio Grande region, Appalachian Kentucky, and the Mississippi Delta. Throughout these areas the rhetoric of reform created expectations of new opportunities to find decent work and receive education and training. In fact, these expectations have largely gone unfulfilled as welfare reform has failed to penetrate poor areas where low-income families remain isolated from the economic and social mainstream of American society. Welfare Reform in Persistent Rural Poverty sheds welcome light on the opportunities and challenges that welfare reform has imposed on low-income families situated in disadvantaged areas. Combining both qualitative and quantitative research, it will be an excellent guide for scholars and practitioners alike seeking to address the problem of poverty in rural America.

Sos: Simplicity of Soul

The Secret of Living Through Your Soul

By: Kathleen Ann Pickering

Decades after an extraordinary encounter with a higher power, Kathleen Ann shares her awakened understanding of God’s one, exquisite purpose for mankind: to continue creating His love through our souls. Kathleen Ann explains how the misunderstood, and often neglected soul, is an active tool and the missing link meant to be used with our talents right now to fulfill our true identity and purpose with Dignity, Integrity and Grace. Soul thinking challenges many centuries-old, ego-driven beliefs that ceased to serve our own, and humanity’s, best interests a long time ago. SOS: Simplicity of Soul shows how soul thinking is the answer to correcting the chaos challenging the world today. Imagine this wonderful truth: “When soul-driven, you are no longer alone and separate on this beautiful planet, but a unique and cherished thread in the magnificent tapestry that is Existence.” This short, evocative and inspiring book invites you to awaken your true self by simply igniting your soul, as a God-given birthright, for your happiness, the happiness of others, and your intended role in humanity’s evolution to perfection.

Adverse Childhood Experiences

The Neuroscience of Trauma, Resilience and Healing throughout the Life Course

By: Kathleen Brewer-Smyth

The entire world is in crisis with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and other lifetime trauma at an all-time high. This book is a valuable resource to promote optimal brain function for everyone, but especially for survivors of trauma who are particularly at risk throughout the life course. It is critical for healthcare providers, schoolteachers and administration, public safety professionals, foster and adoptive parents, employers and loved ones to understand the potential life-long consequences that ACEs can have in the lives of survivors. This book describes the complexities behind why behaviors occur if hurt people hurt themselves and others. The first half of this book addresses what can go wrong in the brain and body after trauma that potentially leads to life-long poor bio-behavioral health outcomes. The second half of this book addresses how the life-long poor bio-behavioral health outcomes can be prevented, mitigated or potentially reversed. This book is necessary for everyone who is interested in optimizing brain function, especially survivors of ACEs and other trauma throughout the life course who are at greater risk. The major focus of the book is on how to prevent long-term negative consequences of trauma and how to restore the brain, body, behavior and emotions. This book is the winner of four Book of the Year AJN Awards: Awarded 1st place in three categories: Community/Home Health, Creative Works, Psychiatric/ Mental Health; and 3rd place in Consumer Health.No book has ever won this many AJN awards since the American Journal of Nursing began acknowledging high-quality publications in 1969!

The Father of Her Son

By: Kathleen Pickering

Then Kelly's past becomes a major news story, which puts Matt's safety in jeopardy. Evan is willing to do anything to protect them. For the first time, his career takes a backseat to something more important—family and a future with Kelly. Now he just has to prove it to her.…

The Difference Between You and Me

A Novel

By: Kathleen Demarco

The Difference Between You and Me is Sex and the City meets The Player. When two vastly different women-one a ruthless go-getter, the other an unambitious script reader-find their lives intertwined, a startling revelation turns their mutual loathing to grudging respect, then real friendship as they discover the boundless rewards of human connection. With her sly and generous wit, Kathleen DeMarco has written a modern-day comedy of manners, an insider's take on Hollywood protocol and prestige.
