ELIZABETH GILBERT
National Book Award nominee (for The Last American Man) Elizabeth Gilbert writes this extraordinary memoir about the year she spent traveling in India, Italy and Indonesia after a difficult divorce. But this is not the usual global romp or spiritual journey. Sure, there are mystical dreams and a hint of New Age-ism. No matter. Bay Area writer Anne Lamott calls Eat, Pray, Love ¨wise, jaunty, human, ethereal, heartbreaking.¨ This is a must-read for anyone going through a life-churning change. (Readers will be glad to hear that this terrific book is now out in paperback after being a genuine best-seller in hardback.) |

GERALD AMADA, Ph.D.
Anker's Plight, a novel by Bay Area psychotherapist and retired college-clinic director Dr. Gerald Amada, focuses on a mental health program for students at Malform University — a name which should tell the reader something. "If you yearn after a frustrating day at work for a totally sarcastic, easy read in which the indignities of your work situation are described and lambasted, this book is for you," writes Sophie Freud, Book Review Editor of the American Journal of Psychotherapy. |

ANDREA GOSLINE
"You were born in your very own month of the year and the world was waiting to welcome you here with daydreams and wishes and circles of love and in turn you brought a gift from above," from January's Child. Every day is someone's birthday, which this wonderful book celebrates with creative attributes for each month of the year. January's Child is a beautifully illustrated treasury sure to become a classic gift for new babies. This author event is for the whole family.

WILLIAM POY LEE
William Poy Lee's moving and complex story of growing up in the housing projects of San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1960s and '70s unfolds in two voices. One is the author's own, and the other is that of his invincible mother, who came to this country from a small village in the Toisan region of China. Author Alice Walker writes that The Eighth Promise poses questions like, "How do we find 'home' in the present when the past meant a thousand years in the same place? ...William Poy Lee explores territory that reflects and intrigues us all." |
