 Tea & Roses by Emma Stanley |
The deaths of Mark Barton's wife and children were obscured behind a shower of attention to his killing spree in the Atlanta offices of two day-trading firms. The family's story never stood a chance in a nation where the media consistently neglects the reality of domestic violence.
 Looking to Sea by David Schock |
Dread. That is not supposed to be the overriding emotion when your daughter announces her pregnancy. She's delighted and I'm...wondering about me. Will I measure up? Will I enjoy it? Can I accept this new role? What's wrong with me?
 Kingston Jamaica by John Haymson |
French doors for a French lady but no sugar for the slaves. For the unlucky few, their treat was a romp in milady's bed, then a secret nighttime burial in the wet sands of the notorious Jamaican sugar plantation--Rose Hall.

"I remember vividly my first period at the age of twelve. The pain was horrible. From the beginning, I assumed everyone felt the same, and I just couldn't handle it as well. This picture of myself, combined with the constant pain and the depression from living in pain, affected everything I did as a teenager. I learned to live with it quietly because any complaints were fluffed off as whining." Virginia wasn't diagnosed until the age of twenty-five.
