Other essays examine how sitting is the new smoking (whatever that means), what it means to have stamina, and why it is just so hard to focus when you have the attention span of a gnat.

This Was Not The Plan

Daphne Uviller

This Was Not the Plan starts out as a funny and sharply observed campus novel and then deepens into a thought-provoking examination of the complicated and always thorny politics of abortion. Daphne Uviller is a shrewd and compassionate writer, able to imagine a wide variety of intersecting lives and outlooks, and find humor in even the darkest moments.” — Tom Perrotta, author of Election and Tracy Flick Can’t Win  
When theater director Sylvia Tanisman wins her first Tony award, her husband takes the occasion to announce he’s divorcing her. Sylvia flees the shambles of her marriage by accepting a visiting professorship at Linden, an elite college in Pierre, New York. A few counties north, high school senior Meg Croyden has  
narrowly survived a self-destructive, rebellious youth and is headed to Linden on a full scholarship. In the town of Pierre, lifelong resident and devout Catholic Caroline Byrne McClanahan struggles with the secret shame of a family that is falling apart. When circumstances bring them all to the local abortion clinic in Pierre, the fates of these three women hailing from starkly different worlds are forever entwined.  
This Was Not the Plan tackles one of the most important issues of our time with humor, compassion, and authenticity. The collision of the lives of Sylvia, Meg, and Caroline reminds us of the dangers of thinking in black and white and the possibility of finding humanity in each other, even where you least expect it.

Heaven's My Destination - A Novel

Anônimo

“If John Steinbeck’s mighty Grapes of Wrath is the tragic novel of the Great Depression, then Heaven’s My Destination is its comic masterpiece. —J.D. McClatchy 
A hilarious tale about goodness in a fallen world, Heaven’s My Destination introduces George Marvin Brush, one of Thornton Wilder's most memorable characters. Brush, a traveling textbook salesman, is a fervent religious convert who is determined to lead a good life. With sad and sometimes hilarious consequences, his travels take him through smoking cars, bawdy houses, banks, and campgrounds from Texas to Illinois—and into the soul of Depression-era America itself. 
 
This special edition includes an afterword by Wilder’s nephew, Tappan Wilder, with illuminating material about the author and book.
