The Gifts of the Body
Rebecca Brown - 1994
An emotionally wrenching work of fiction about a health-care worker who tenders compassion and love to victims of AIDS, by an author who "strips her language of convention to lay bare the ferocious rituals of love and need."--New York Times Book Review
Arthur's Chicken Pox: An Arthur Adventure
Marc Brown - 1994
D.W. teases him about his spots, but she is actually jealous of all the extra attention Arthur is getting. Finally, on the day of the circus, Arthur is well enough to go, but D.W. wakes up with the spots she so badly wanted. Text copyright 2004 Lectorum Publications, Inc.
When Heaven is Silent: How God Ministers to Us Through the Challenges of Life
Ronald Dunn - 1994
A simple but powerful book that helps readers develop the faith to see these trials as blessings, rather than curses, ministered by God.
Harm's Way: Lust & Madness & Murder & Mayhem
Joel-Peter Witkin - 1994
Edited and with an introduction by Joel-Peter Witkin, the book includes turn-of-the-century crime-scene photographs, nineteenth-century asylum inmate portraits with calligraphic annotations detailing the patients' diagnoses, nineteenth-century medical photographs from the Burns Archive, and a selection of images from the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research. The ability of the photograph to show us our powerlessness in the face of madness, lust, disease, and death, survives in these brittle and arresting images.
Bridie and Finn
Harry Cauley - 1994
She is fearless, willing to say anything that comes into her mind, and everything about her is messy and a little off. It is love at first sight for Finn, but it will be almost a decade before he is ready to admit it. In graceful and seamless prose, Harry Gauley captures the world of a close-knit urban community and a way of life that exists no more.
