When Life Feels Like a House Fire

Transforming Your COVID-19 Stress

By: Marcy McKay

Marcy McKay offers something we all need right now - hope. If you’ve struggled with anxiety, disrupted sleep, foggy brain, loss of time, the inability to focus since COVID-19 upended the world – it’s not your imagination. Your physical aches and pains are real, too. Maybe you’ve suffered low-grade to full-blown depression. Bad behaviors might have helped you cope, like overeating or no appetite at all, overdrinking, hours of binge-watching TV or scrolling through social media. This doesn’t include possible tensions with family, friends and strangers over masks, politics, protests and much more. There is a scientific reason and root cause behind your stress, anxieties and behaviors, but it’s not what you think. The answers are connected to the past. Your past. Marcy McKay explains what’s happening to you in everyday language, sharing what she learned after her family experienced a house fire in 2017. With free downloadable worksheets, exercises and assignments – connect the dots to the true source of your problems. Create an action plan for a brighter tomorrow, even during a global pandemic … because life shouldn’t feel like a house fire. “I read this book all in one sitting. Informative … funny. I loved this, and think you will, too.” – Melissa Hallmark Kerr, PhD, co-founder of Brain Savvy “Marcy has gracefully personalized and documented the importance in taking care of the mind-body connection, as well as how our life’s experience plays into stress, trauma and anxiety.” – Erin K. Bishop, MA, A Breath of Wellness "When Life Feels Like a House Fire is current and useful as we navigate our new normal. A great resource and an easy read." – Terry Bentley Hill, attorney and founder, #StopMindingYourOwnBusiness

Beyond Slash, Burn, and Poison

Transforming Breast Cancer Stories Into Action

By: Marcy Jane Knopf-Newman

Drawing on the writings of Rachel Carson, Betty Ford, Rose Kushner, and Audre Lorde, this book explores the various ways in which patient-centered texts continue to leave their mark on the political realm of breast cancer and, ultimately, the disease itself. Ordered chronologically, the selections trace the progression of discussions about breast cancer from a time when the subject was kept private and silent to when it became part of public discourse. The texts included are personal accounts, written by women struggling to play an active role in their healing process and, at the same time, hoping to help others do the same.

Before Harlem

The Black Experience in New York City Before World War I

Before Harlem

The Black Experience in New York City Before World War I

By: Marcy S. Sacks

In the years between 1880 and 1915, New York City and its environs underwent a tremendous demographic transformation with the arrival of millions of European immigrants, native whites from the rural countryside, and people of African descent from both the American South and the Caribbean. While all groups faced challenges in their adjustment to the city, hardening racial prejudices set the black experience apart from that of other newcomers. Through encounters with each other, blacks and whites, both together and in opposition, forged the contours of race relations that would affect the city for decades to come. Before Harlem reveals how black migrants and immigrants to New York entered a world far less welcoming than the one they had expected to find. White police officers, urban reformers, and neighbors faced off in a hostile environment that threatened black families in multiple ways. Unlike European immigrants, who typically struggled with low-paying jobs but who often saw their children move up the economic ladder, black people had limited employment opportunities that left them with almost no prospects of upward mobility. Their poverty and the vagaries of a restrictive job market forced unprecedented numbers of black women into the labor force, fundamentally affecting child-rearing practices and marital relationships. Despite hostile conditions, black people nevertheless claimed New York City as their own. Within their neighborhoods and their churches, their night clubs and their fraternal organizations, they forged discrete ethnic, regional, and religious communities. Diverse in their backgrounds, languages, and customs, black New Yorkers cultivated connections to others similar to themselves, forming organizations, support networks, and bonds of friendship with former strangers. In doing so, Marcy S. Sacks argues, they established a dynamic world that eventually sparked the Harlem Renaissance. By the 1920s, Harlem had become both a tragedy and a triumph—undeniably a ghetto replete with problems of poverty, overcrowding, and crime, but also a refuge and a haven, a physical place whose very name became legendary.

Joe Louis

Sports and Race in Twentieth-Century America

By: Marcy S. Sacks

This insightful study offers a fresh perspective on the life and career of champion boxer Joe Louis. The remarkable success and global popularity of the "Brown Bomber" made him a lightning rod for debate over the role and rights of African Americans in the United States. Historian Marcy S. Sacks traces both Louis’s career and the criticism and commentary his fame elicited to reveal the power of sports and popular culture in shaping American social attitudes. Supported by key contemporary documents, Joe Louis: Sports and Race in Twentieth-Century America is both a succinct introduction to a larger-than-life figure and an essential case study of the intersection of popular culture and race in the mid-century United States.
