Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Remembering to Dance is a fictionalized account based on events that occurred during the author's travels in Guatemala some twenty years ago. The tone is set by personal losses that precede the unexpected solitary journey by the author. Spirit guides and loved ones in Spirit provide guidance and encouragement. The first chapters immerse the reader in interactions with children who live a life of uncertainty and adversity on the streets of the capital city. In stark contrast to this is the idyllic life twelve months later in a beautiful primitive jungle village far above the Rio Dulce. The travels of the villagers to the city to participate in selling hand crafted goods at the market set in motion an adventure that carries the reader through the web of intrigue of the theft and sale of babies and small children that was prevalent at that time. Helping hands reach out from Central America all the way north, through Sanctuary cities, to the State of Maine and move the fast paced story forward to its exciting conclusion.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Rx For Recidivism blends fact with fiction and suspense. It addresses a situation that has grown more urgent over time. The families live in rural, suburban towns far removed from large cities. These are stories of families that are rarely included in sociological studies. The lives of their children, whose crimes land them in the criminal justice system, are so unremarkable, in contrast to the high drama and spectacular criminal offenses that are happening in the large cities, that they receive little publicity. They are often the forgotten parents and children. They do not acclimate well to prison life, or to the alternative of probation that returns them immediately to an unstable home life. The result is twofold: if they are released on probation, the lack of a family and community support system almost guarantees a repeat offense. Or, after serving the traumatic months of a prison sentence, they leave prison ill prepared for the return to their unstructured lives on the outside. The cycle repeats, and they often become lifelong casualties of 'the system.' Over the years, I have seen instances of exploitation of the naiveté and inexperience of these young people. The reality of their circumstances can be harsh, and I believe their story must at last be told. Rather than continuing to prescribe institutional remedies that are almost certain to be a prescription for a return to a life of increased criminal activity, it is time to break the cycle and implement instead an 'Rx for Rehabilitation.'.…
