When You Care
By Strauss, Elissa
In this "brilliantly argued and timely book" (Brigid Schulte, New York Times bestselling author) , journalist Elissa Strauss explores the powerful role caring for others plays in our individual and communal lives, weaving together research about care and stories from parents and caregivers with a feminist bent.
Behind our current caregiving crisis, in which a broken system has left parents and caregivers exhausted, sits a fierce addiction to independence. But what would happen if we started to appreciate dependency, and the deep meaning of one person caring for another? If we start to care about care?
Drawing on research into parenting and caregiving, as well as her own experiences as a mother, journalist Elissa Strauss delves into the history and power of care in our lives and communities.

More to Life
By Billingsley, Reshonda Tate
In this stunning sequel to her acclaimed debut My Brother's Keeper, #1 national bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley brings her real-deal insight to a heartfelt new novel about a wife and mother on a daring rescue mission - to save herself. Freshly forty-five, Aja James knows that her life is good, complete with a loving, wealthy husband, well-adjusted children, and a beautiful home. Yet the truth is, she feels painfully unfulfilled, stuck in the present, haunted by a painful past. When a friend suggests a girls' trip to a tropical paradise, Aja hopes a change of scene will also change her perspective. On vacation, filled with fun and freedom, Aja is relieved to find her spirits lifting. But her good time also shines a light on what's troubling her: from her siblings to her husband and kids, she's spent nearly her whole life taking care of everyone - except herself. She's lost her spark. She's lost her identity. Desperate to turn things around, Aja makes an impulsive decision - one that outrages her family and stuns her friends. But it may also be her wisest choice. Because it's only through learning what she could lose - and what's truly worth keeping - that Aja can transform this temporary fix into real, lasting happiness. "Billingsley puts a spin on the question every woman will ask at some point - who am I outside of the people I love? More to Life answers that timeless question with grace, resilience, and a fresh voice." - Jessica Pack, author of Whatever It Takes

Raising Critical Thinkers
By Bogart, Julie
Education is not solely about acquiring information and skills across subject areas, but also about understanding how and why we believe what we do.

Amid the noise, it has become increasingly important to examine different perspectives with both curiosity and discernment. But how do parents teach these skills to their children? Drawing on more than twenty years' experience homeschooling and developing curricula, Julie Bogart offers practical tools to help children at every stage of development to grow in their ability to explore the world around them, examine how their loyalties and biases affect their beliefs, and generate fresh insight rather than simply recycling what they've been taught.
