The Big Letdown

How Medicine, Big Business, and Feminism Undermine Breastfeeding

By: Kimberly Seals Allers

Breastfeeding. The mere mention of it has many mothers wracked with anxiety (how will I manage with work, other kids, what if I don't make enough milk?) or guilt about not doing it (will I be hurting my child if I choose not to breastfeed? what will people think of me if I choose not to?). This hot-button issue is one we've talked about repeatedly in the media and in celebrity culture. Remember when Angelina Jolie posed for the cover of W nursing her newborn? Oh, the controversy! And when Barbara Walters complained about the woman breastfeeding next to her on a plane? She was forced to issue a public apology. Or what about when supermodel Gisele Bunchen declared that there should be worldwide law that mothers be required to breastfeed their babies for the first six months of life? All hell broke loose. This topic gets people riled up, and there has never been a narrative account that explores the breastfeeding big picture for parents and their children in today's world. THE BIG LETDOWN by author, journalist, and breastfeeding advocate Kimberly Seals Allers will change that for the better and open up a candid conversation about the cultural, sociological, and economic forces that shape the breastfeeding culture and how it undermines women in the process.

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Daily Devotions from Our Greatest Teachers

By: Kimberly K. Parker

Every mother knows Bill Cosby and Art Linkletter had it right; 'Kids say the darnedest things.' Whether it's a simple 'I love you, Mommy,' or a thought-provoking insight on life from a child's perspective, their words can have a powerful impact. When the words of not one but three of her children forced author Kimberly K. Parker to take a self-inventory and tackle the many challenges she was facing, she knew there was something special happening. Join Kimberly in Out of the Mouths of Babes: Daily Devotions from Our Greatest Teachers-an inspiring devotional based on the words of her children. Kimberly transparently exposes her experiences to help you become a better person. With gentle yet direct suggestions, Kimberly encourages you to listen to children and learn from them, for she believes without doubt that they are our greatest teachers.

Life after Death Row

Exonerees' Search for Community and Identity

By: Saundra D. Westervelt,Kimberly J. Cook

Life after Death Row examines the post-incarceration struggles of individuals who have been wrongly convicted of capital crimes, sentenced to death, and subsequently exonerated. Saundra D. Westervelt and Kimberly J. Cook present eighteen exonerees’ stories, focusing on three central areas: the invisibility of the innocent after release, the complicity of the justice system in that invisibility, and personal trauma management. Contrary to popular belief, exonerees are not automatically compensated by the state or provided adequate assistance in the transition to post-prison life. With no time and little support, many struggle to find homes, financial security, and community. They have limited or obsolete employment skills and difficulty managing such daily tasks as grocery shopping or banking. They struggle to regain independence, self-sufficiency, and identity. Drawing upon research on trauma, recovery, coping, and stigma, the authors weave a nuanced fabric of grief, loss, resilience, hope, and meaning to provide the richest account to date of the struggles faced by people striving to reclaim their lives after years of wrongful incarceration.
