Crittenden （The Price of Motherhood） offers an engaging look at working mothers and how their parenting skills make them more adept managers。 Based on interviews with 100 parents （mostly women） who were the primary caregivers in their family， the book offers an intriguing look at the changing face of American executives。 Quoting her subjects directly， Crittenden illustrates how being a parent helps someone be a more creative， if sometimes unconventional， manager。 One woman talked about a producer who shouted obscenities at her。 The woman did nothing， viewing the behavior as the equivalent of a toddler’s temper tantrum， and the producer apologized the next day。 Sometimes， parents have added knowledge that has a direct impact on their job。 Working parents in any field will readily identify with many of the scenarios discussed in this book by some visible CEOs including CNBC’s Pamela Thomas-Graham， Oxygen’s Geraldine Laybourne and actress Lindsay Crouse。 Crittenden con

An exceptional father-son story about the reality that testsus, the myths that sustain us, and the love that saves us. Paul Coates was an enigmatic god to his sons: a Vietnam vet whorolled with the Black Panthers, an old-school disciplinarian andnew-age believer in free love, an autodidact who launched apublishing company in his basement dedicated to telling the truehistory of African civilization. Most of all, he was a wilytactician whose mission was to carry his sons across the shoals ofinner-city adolescence—and through the collapsing civilization ofBaltimore in the Age of Crack—and into the safe arms of HowardUniversity, where he worked so his children could attend forfree.

With Love Life, which The Washington Post Book World called "a brutally honest and often brilliant tour of individual and family psychology," Zeruya Shalev achieved international literary stardom. In her newest offering, Husband and Wife, she takes us into the heartbreak and compromise of a diseased marriage that may or may not be capable of healing. The quiet rhythms of the family life of Na'ama and Udi Newman suddenly screech to a halt when Udi, a healthy, active man, wakes up one morning unable to move his legs. The doctors can find no physical explanation for his paralysis, and soon it becomes painfully clear that it is a symptom of something far less tangible and far more insidious. This one morning sets in motion a series of events that reveals a vicious cycle of jealousy, paranoia, resentment, and accumulated injuries that now threaten to tear the small family apart.
