The Baby of the Family

The Baby of the Family

Equals Record

By Maggie May Ethridge The baby of the family. To this reader, such a romantic phrase, born of the hustle and bustle, tears and drama, warmth and love, laughter and insanity of book families: Amy from Little Women, Rilla from the Anne of Green Gables series, Ginny from the Weasley family in Harry Potter, Deborah Mitford [...] May 21, 2013

Lisa Sanchez

My working life over the past year has been anything but simple. Creative, perhaps—especially in terms of scheduling. But simple? Absolutely not. When someone asks the dreaded question about what I do, I usually feel as if I’m being sucked into a vortex in which my mind races backwards over everything I’ve actually done in [...] May 20, 2013

All Grown Up, Still Splitting Custody

All Grown Up, Still Splitting Custody

Sibyl

Dear Sibyl, I’m in my late thirties and my parents have been divorced since I was 5 years old. Growing up I never wanted my parents to get back together because I knew they didn’t get along well. They did a great job of never trash talking each other to us kids, but the awkwardness [...] May 17, 2013

Anna Comnena: Byzantine Princess, Crusades Chronicler

Anna Comnena: Byzantine Princess, Crusades Chronicler

Liz Matsushita

I first became acquainted with this historical woman of the day because she was one of the only sources for describing a bunch of historical men. Isn’t that the way the historical cookie always crumbles? Anna Comnena (1080 – c. 1153) was a Byzantine princess, the daughter of Emperor Alexius Comnenus I, and an eyewitness [...] May 15, 2013

Don’t Forget Jerusalem

Don’t Forget Jerusalem

Alice Peretti

Five days in Israel don’t seem a long time, and indeed they are not. Nonetheless, Israel State is quite small (barely bigger than New Jersey), so you don’t need weeks to visit the most important sites. The only essentials are a car (a GPS is unnecessary, directions are clear and easy so a good map [...] May 15, 2013

A New Perspective

A New Perspective

Liz Moody

Once, I called my Dad from New York.  It was the middle of December, and I’d been living in the city for three months. “Dad,” I said.  “I woke up this morning feeling so bummed, and I don’t know why.” “Mmm,” he said.  “SAD.” “I know.” I nodded into the phone, and stuck my lower [...] May 14, 2013

Everything is Beautiful

Everything is Beautiful

Shannon Oertle

I suppose I should start at the beginning. You want to hear the birth story, right? Whether I used drugs or did it au naturale? Was there water involved? A midwife or doctor? (Birth has become so politicized). Well, I’m not going to do that. You can imagine the details and I’ll just skip to [...] May 14, 2013

Liv Combe

I used to have these fantasies of Fréd and I falling in love and living in Paris in a tiny apartment in the quartier latin. We would survive off of cigarettes and coffee and sex. I would take classes at the Sorbonne, and he would write stories and novels. We would walk along the Seine [...] Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger... May 13, 2013
