An unlikely friendship develops between Gabrielle Bissonette, who has returned home to wilderness Michigan to care for her father, and Valley, her sisterinlaw, as they struggle to cope with the growing rage and violence of Gabrielle's brother, a troubled Vietnam veteran. A first novel. Reprint.

Set in 1973, Second Sight is the chilling portrait of one American family's complicated and violent life, when violence at home was largely denied. Stoic Gabrielle Bissonette and Valley, her vulnerable sister-in-law, become close despite their differences, and contend with the love and increasing rage of Robert, Gabrielle's brother. A decade later, in journal entries woven through a gripping narrative, Gabrielle the survivor confronts pain and the tragedy of that year, rediscovering her own responsibility, her courage, and ultimately the forgiveness that grants her 'second sight' and an empowered future.

The personal is not only political, it’s also economic and sexual: as a society, we’re encouraged to view economics as objective science far removed from us―when in reality it has concrete and far-reaching effects on our everyday lives. In Screwnomics, Rickey Gard Diamond shares personal stories, cartoons, and easy-to-understand economic definitions in her quest to explain the unspoken assumptions of 300 years of EconoMansplaining―the economic theory that women should always work for less, or better for free. It unpacks economic definitions, turns a men-only history on its head, and highlights female experiences and solutions. encouraging female readers to think about their own economic memoir and confront our system’s hyper-masculine identity. In the past fifty years, the US has witnessed a major shift in economic theory, and yet few women can identify or talk about its influence in their own lives. Accessible and inspiring, Screwnomics offers female readers hope for a better, more inclusive future―and the tools to make that hope a reality.
