Book excerpt: Five women revolutionize the modern art world in postwar America in this "gratifying, generous, and lush" true story from a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize finalist (Jennifer Szalai, New York Times). Set amid the most turbulent social and political period of modern times, Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, wild, sometimes tragic, always exhilarating chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting -- not as muses but as artists. From their cold-water lofts, where they worked, drank, fought, and loved, these pioneers burst open the door to the art world for themselves and countless others to come. Gutsy and indomitable, Lee Krasner was a hell-raising leader among artists long before she became part of the modern art world's first celebrity couple by marrying Jackson Pollock. Elaine de Kooning, whose brilliant mind and peerless charm made her the emotional center of the New York School, used her work and words to build a bridge between the avant-garde and a public that scorned abstract art as a hoax. Grace Hartigan fearlessly abandoned life as a New Jersey housewife and mother to achieve stardom as one of the boldest painters of her generation. Joan Mitchell, whose notoriously tough exterior shielded a vulnerable artist within, escaped a privileged but emotionally damaging Chicago childhood to translate her fierce vision into magnificent canvases. And Helen Frankenthaler, the beautiful daughter of a prominent New York family, chose the difficult path of the creative life. Her gamble paid off: At twenty-three she created a work so original it launched a new school of painting. These women changed American art and society, tearing up the prevailing social code and replacing it with a doctrine of liberation. In Ninth Street Women, acclaimed author Mary Gabriel tells a remarkable and inspiring story of the power of art and artists in shaping not just postwar America but the future.

Why do guys often feel clueless, no matter how hard they try? Why do women get so tired of dropping hints that they snap? How can something that started out so good, end up so frustating? Licensed psychologist Dr. Steve Stephens says that communication between genders is truly a cross-cultural experience. The key to communicating well is learning how to interpret the vocabulary, body language, silences, and needs of your spouse–which may be quite different from yours. Using practical insights from his own two decades of marriage and his twenty-five years as a professional counselor, Dr. Stephens uncovers the differences in communication that lead to relationship breakdown. With a fun and exciting look at the reasons behind marital frustrations, he offers a solution so simple, with results so extraordinary, that you will delight to know what your spouse is really saying–and learn how true communication can change your marriage forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born Smiling—Introducing, for the first time ever, a new style of autobiography, uniquely designed by Author, Jenny Bright-Stonecipher. Jenny has successfully written humorous stories about her life, analyzed patterns in her development with various psychosocial theories, and drawn very interesting conclusions, perfectly placed at the end of chapters for easy reading. Her story—Is it possible for one to be born happy and remain that way all through life? Jenny Bright-Stonecipher says “Yes it is!” Jenny’s stories take her on a journey back in time, examining her entire lifespan history, where she takes a closer look at why she has always been so happy-go-lucky. Was she born that way? Was it her environment? Or, was it a combination of the two? On this venture of reflection, Jenny discovers that her mother and father used a Parenting Style that starkly contrasts to the more popular models of today. Who is Jenny Bright-Stonecipher? She is the Author of Abandonment: Brainstorming the Possible What Ifs of Disaster Planning with Disabled People. Her beginnings were rooted in Dayton, Ohio, but her venture out into the world eventually turned into a mission. With a Master’s degree in Social Work, Jenny has been advocating for disabled people for years. While winning the “Most Civic Minded” title in the 2006 Mrs. Pennsylvania/Mrs. United States Pageant, Jenny’s platform raised awareness to the needs of people who have disabilities. One thing for sure—things seem to always go Jenny’s way. Some think she simply has good luck. Jenny believes it’s a mix of God’s love and good Karma. “What comes around, goes around. If you’re a kind person and have love in your heart, beauty and the prizes in life will find you. It’s the universe balancing energy in a process we can’t fully understand yet.” In her book, Born Smiling, Jenny reveals her laughable stories of growing up with friends and family and shares her coping methods of how to be positive minded about life and offers her recipe for happiness, “Just what do I have to smile about?”
