How to Be a Successful Fertility Patient
by Peggy Robin
For the first time, there's a book that talks about infertility treatment from the patient's point-of-view. What do the treatments feel like? How much do they cost? How can you get insurance to pay for them? How do you know you are getting the best, most advanced treatments? How do you tell when it's time to switch doctors? These are the kind of questions that Peggy Robin addresses in How to Be a Successful Fertility Patient, published by William Morrow & Company. How to Be a Successful Fertility Patient shows patients how to control their infertility treatment in the face of complex --and emotional-- decisions.
Peggy Robin is the mother of two daughters, and used infertility treatment to conceive them.
by H. Michael Frase
Choice Selection:
Suppose you witnessed a crime, but had good reason to believe that if you called
the police and told them what you saw your life would be in serious danger of ending very
soon after? That's what happens to Kasey Riteman, the completely believable central
character in this well-developed first thriller by a commercial photographer with a keen
eye for character and detail. Kasey has lots of problems of her own, so when she stumbles
on a murder her first impulse is to hide and hope the killer didn't spot her. Then her
sense of justice takes over, tempered by justified fear. And when Kasey comes up with what
seems like the perfect way to tip off the police without risking her neck, things go from
bad to deadly very quickly. An impressive debut from a writer with a natural voice.
Synopsis:
Here is a thriller that combines the terror of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho with the heroine
worthy of Sue Grafton. When Kasey Riteman quits her job an d drives off into the nightime
countryside, she becomes secret witness to the murder of a Nashville socialite. Fatal Gift
is the first novel from a wizard of a natural-born storyteller--a can't miss bestseller.

Bottlefeeding Without Guilt: A Reassuring Guide for Loving Parents
by Peggy Robin
American women bottlefeed their babies, whether by choice or by circumstance, soon discover that what they assumed was a private decision is suddenly the target of unsolicited advice and public criticism. Unwittingly, breastfeeding advocates of the 70s and 80s have engendered a wave of intolerance toward women who bottlefeed. In Bottlefeeding Without Guilt, Peggy Robin debunks the myths, exposes the hidden agendas of the anti-bottle camp, and gives women everything they need to know in order to make the right decision. She gives women much-needed support for their parenting choices.
Here is what some moms have said about Bottlefeeding Without Guilt:
"I think there are many, many women who need this information. Now they can go to
the bookstore and get some answers! You have done a real service."
"I can't breastfeed my baby, and I go back and forth with guilt. It's nice to know
the whole world isn't against us bottlefeeding moms."
"I am what you would consider a militant breastfeeder. I must admit that when I saw
the book in the bookstore, I assumed it was just a lazy, selfish mother's list of excuses
for giving their child second best. While I do not agree with everything in your book, you
have helped me gain a lot of compassion for bottlefeeding mothers."
"I have just finished Bottlefeeding Without Guilt and I am so glad to read
of others with similar experiences. My twins are five years old, but I still get angry
remembering our feeding struggles...My babies have always been healthy and active with few
colds or eaf infections until they began school. My husband took over all the night
feedings and thekids have always been as comforted by his presence as by mine, which can
only add to, not take away from, their feeling of security. I feel that we are truly a
family, rather than a mother with children, plus a financial contributor. As for
intelligence, my children could both read before the age of five and are considerate,
sharing and imaginative as well."
"My struggle to breastfeed lasted an interminable eight weeks until we all realized
that health was more likely to come from from a happy mom than breast milk alone."
"This book is fantastic...Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My sister-in-law is
due in March with her first and she plans to breastfeed, and I will support her all the
way. But if things don't work out, I'm going to give her my copy of this book, so she
won't feel the guilt I felt for so long."
"I was so happy to discover your book. I wish your book had been written when I was
still suffering through my futile attempts to breastfeed twins. Good job!"
"It's nice to know the whole world isnt against us bottle feeding moms."
"I desperately wanted to breastfeed my daughter, but 3 severe mastitis infections
made it too painful for me to take anymore I truly believe that mothering is more than
what we feed our children -- it is how we nurture, love, protect and bond."

Prophet
of Rage: A Life of Louis Farrakhan and His Nation
by Arthur Magida
Prophet of Rage, by journalist Arthur Magida, is the first ever biography of Loius Farrakhan. Based on in-depth interviews with Farrakhan, his friends and his critics, Magida provides an insightful look into this powerful figure.
The New York Times Book Review wrote: "The strongest part of the book is its portrait of Mr. Farrakhan's growing up ... contains well-done profiles of Malcolm and Elijah Muhammad, and of the Nation of Islam."
Here are what some other reviewers have said about Prophet of Rage:
"Prophet of Rage will stand as a key biography of perhaps the most African American leader of our time" --The San Francisco Chronicle
"Magida... has written a perceptive, balanced and vividly evocative account. His
solidly researched book draws upon interviews with Farrakhan, his defenders and his
critics, Farrakhan's speeches and published work, and an
array of relevant books articles and journalistic accounts. Prophet of Rage offers a fine
introduction to a compelling Ameircan original." --TheWashington Post
"Consistently absorbing and surprisingly balanced" --The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Magida offers a fascinating, sometimes chilling picture of the Nation's claustrophobic, authoritarian, violence-prone world." --The Detoit News
