    Backroads of Paradise - A...

    In the 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project sent mostly anonymous writers into the depths of Florida to reveal its splendor to the world. The FWP and the State of Florida jointly published the results as Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State, which included twenty-two driving tours of the state's main roads. Retracing the original routes in the Guide, Cathy Salustri rekindles our notions of paradise by bringing a modern eye to the historic travelogues. 
     
     
     
    Salustri's 5,000-mile road trip reveals a patchwork quilt of Florida cultures. The journey begins on US 98, heading west toward the Florida/Alabama state line, where coastal towns dot the roadway. Along US 17, she stops at Florida's oldest diner and visits a collection of springs interconnected by underwater mazes tumbling through white spongy limestone, before stopping in Arcadia, where men still bring cattle to auction. 
     
     
     
    Woven through these journeys are nuggets of history, environmental debates about Florida's future, and a narrative that combines humor with a strong affection for an oft-maligned state. 
     
     
     
    Today, Salustri urges, tourists need a new nudge to get off the interstates or away from Disney in order to discover the real Florida.

    Where Have I Been All My Life? is a compelling memoir recounting one woman’s journey through grief and a profound feeling of unworthiness to wholeness and healing. It begins with the chillingly sudden death of Rice’s mother, and is followed by her foray into the center of mourning. With wisdom, grace, and humor, Rice recounts the grief games she plays in an effort to resurrect her mother; her efforts to get her therapist, who she falls desperately in love with, to run away with her; and the transformation of her husband from fantasy man to ordinary guy to superhero. In the process, she experiences aching revelations about her family and her past―and realizes what she must leave behind, and what she can carry forward with her.

    For parents of young children, speech milestones are monumental—from baby babble to first words to full sentences. It's natural to worry when they don't arrive "on schedule" or when your little one seems to lag behind their peers. 
     
     
     
    In What to Do When Your Child Isn't Talking, speech and language therapist Nicola Lathey and journalist Tracey Blake offer parents reassurance and solutions—at a moment when speech delay and regression is more common than ever. Organized by major milestones from birth to age four, this don't-panic guide will empower you to: 
     
     
     
    ● Identify early signs of speech delay and possible causes—"glue ear," tongue tie, suspected autism, or simply your child's individual pace of learning. 
     
     
     
    ● Help your child practice specific speech sounds and words that they find tricky with fun activities, from classic clapping games to filling a "story sack." 
     
     
     
    ● Get to the root of toddler tantrums, chronic shyness, unclear speech, stuttering, social anxiety, and other issues stunting your child's self-expression. 
     
     
     
    ● Communicate better with your child, and watch them thrive! 
     
     
     
    What to Do When Your Child Isn't Talking is an updated and revised edition of Small Talk.
