IT'S HER GAME... Here’s my deal—I'm not knocking myself out to find Mr. Right anymore. As far as this thirty-something sistah is concerned, it’s now about reciprocity, not romance. A brother doesn’t have to whisper promises he won't keep or make me any kind of commitment. All he needs to do is respect my boundaries, rock my world—then step the hell on before anyone gets too attached. That’s why the last man I need to be trying to hook-up with is my next door neighbor, Carl. BUT HE'S BREAKING ALL THE RULES... Who does Faye think she’s fooling? She and I both know all that talk she does about game-playing is little more than a big front. Besides, playing by the rules won't necessarily keep us from falling in love. And if what's been going on between us lately is any indication, I'm thinking at least one of us is already halfway there…. “With its Southern charm and hilarious take on relationships, this book is a must-read!” —Tu-Shonda L. Whitaker, Essence bestselling author of The Ex Factor “Unique, interesting characters and sharp, crackling wit laced with occasional pathos make this first novel a genuine winner.” —Gwynne Forster, author of Getting Some of Her Own

Science, Nature & How It Works

Heinemann/Raintree

How to Grow a Child reflects on the 34-year friendship between a teacher and his students, and the student's words of advice that shaped all their lives. Parents who listen to their insight will discover happier, more respectful and more cooperative children as their own relationships improves. In 1974, at the start of fifth grade at PS289 in Brooklyn, NY, Ann Arthur informed her teacher, Bernard Percy, that she had been working on a manuscript during the summer. That manuscript, along with the contributions of five other talented students and an introduction by Bernard became How to Grow a Child. Bernard, Ann, Lori and Linden are still friends. All became parents in their own right. Together they reflect on the power of the teacher-student relationship and the influence their own advice to parents had on themselves as children and parents. Their original message-now published with their comments and questionnaires developed to help parents understand their children's viewpoint-is as fresh, vital and moving as the day Ann planted the first seed.

Is there any sorrow greater than the loss of an infant or child? 
Probably not. In the few times in my practice when one of my patients died from SIDS, it would have been so helpful to have an account like Goodnight, Riley, to be able to offer parents something that might ease the pain of their loss.
