    A personal meditation on love in the shadow of white privilege and racism 
     
     
     
    Child is the story of Judy Goldman's relationship with Mattie Culp, the Black woman who worked for her family as a live-in maid and helped raise her—the unconscionable scaffolding on which the relationship was built and the deep love. It is also the story of Mattie's child, who was left behind to be raised by someone else. Judy, now eighty, cross-examines what it was to be a privileged white child in the Jim Crow South, how a bond can evolve in and out of step with a changing world, and whether we can ever tell the whole truth, even to ourselves. It is an incandescent book of small moments, heart-warming, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, inspiring.

    An engaging new translation of a timeless masterpiece about coping with the death of a loved one 
     
     
     
    In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward. 
     
     
     
    Lost in antiquity, Cicero's Consolation was recreated in the Renaissance from hints in Cicero's other writings and the Greek and Latin consolatory tradition. The resulting masterpiece—translated here for the first time in 250 years—is infused throughout with Cicero's thought and spirit. 
     
     
     
    Complete with an inviting introduction, Michael Fontaine's engaging translation makes this searching exploration of grief available to readers once again.

    Long before the United States was conceived, the land that would become America was home to diverse Native nations with distinct cultures, languages, and ways of life. These Indigenous peoples had established intricate societies with deep spiritual ties to the land. Their histories and traditions stretched back centuries, shaped by the environment and a rich tapestry of social and economic systems. When European settlers began arriving in the early 1600s, they encountered not an empty wilderness, but thriving civilizations. However, the arrival of these settlers would soon mark a period of upheaval and change that would drastically alter the continent’s destiny. 
    The first European settlements were often fragile, dependent on Indigenous knowledge and assistance for survival. The English at Jamestown, the Pilgrims in Plymouth, and other colonial groups faced starvation, disease, and harsh climates. Over time, however, these colonies grew stronger and more permanent. As settlers established farms, towns, and trade routes, they also began to encroach upon Native lands, leading to rising tensions and inevitable conflict. Colonial powers such as Britain, France, and Spain vied for control over these territories, using both diplomacy and violence to expand their influence. The early colonial period was thus characterized by both cooperation and confrontation, shaping a complex legacy of interaction between Natives and newcomers. 
    As settlements expanded, so too did European influence over the land. Colonists brought with them not only goods and technology but also new political, religious, and economic systems. These imported ideas began to take root, forming the foundations of what would later become American governance and identity. At the same time, the enslaved labor of Africans was introduced into the colonies, creating a brutal institution that would come to define much of the nation's future struggles.
