Shelby, a born rebel with a talent for entertaining others, is a deliverer of singing telegrams - the only practical job her theater major prepared her for.

Her marriage to her chemist husband Max has lost its spark, and her home life sometimes seems to be as much an act as her telegram deliveries.Her bathroom falling into the basement, drunk men hitting on her, and her husband's preoccupation with a possible scandal at the chemistry lab only reinforce her feeling that she's spinning out of control. To complicate matters even more, Shelby realizes that the only thrill in her days is her growing attraction to Hadley, her husband's best friend and colleague.Accidents and the possibility of fraud in Max and Hadley's chemistry lab become the catalyst of their lives, throwing Hadley, Max, and Shelby into physically and emotionally dangerous proximity, forcing them to make hard choices about morality, futures, friendship, and marriage.

Catalyst: A Novel

All Are My Children presents the voices of five ordinary, community-based Ugandan women who are not self-defined peacebuilders but whose various life activities contribute to building a culture of peace. The women range from a social worker in inner-city Kampala who helps orphans to a woman in southwestern Uganda who is trying to preserve her culture to a Karimojong woman who became a political leader in a heavily patriarchal culture. As the women describe their efforts to get an education, raise children, deal with oppressive marriage traditions, and survive wars, they offer fresh ways of looking at peacebuilding. The stories reflect a lived peacebuilding that emerges from the experiences and realities of the women’s lives, often in response to their struggle for survival—both individually and for their families and communities. All Are My Children provides insights into grassroots peacebuilding in any setting, and also serves to enlarge the definition of peacebuilding. It will be a foundational text for those seeking to understand how peacebuilding operates at the most basic level.

Reference

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This book explores and reflects on peacebuilding, which emerges from the experiences and realities of women’s lives in East Africa, specifically, in Uganda. The author argues that often these community based peacebuilding efforts are responses to women's struggles for survival ― both individually and for their families and communities. Carefully analyzing education, women's roles, human rights, conflicts, disability and immigration, this book helps to understand African women's roles in development and peacebuilding in the region. The project will interest development studies and African politics scholars, graduate students, researchers and policy makers.
