Book Description
West Medford, Massachusetts has been home to a thriving African American community, where families have lived for generations since the end of the Civil War. The stories of its residents have been fading as elders die and families move away. Most of the history of this neighborhood resides within the memories of these few remaining elders. The discovery of over one hundred funeral programs, saved and collected by residents since the mid-twentieth century, tell the stories of residents who have passed on but made countless contributions to the community. These funeral programs, along with supplemental interviews, illustrate how past residents developed community resources and used ingenuity to help create a strong neighborhood of their own. Within these pages are stories of personal perseverance and tenacity, humor and resiliency. Through portraits of individuals, West Medfords African-American neighborhood of the past is documented, through the sharing of the lives of men and women, and how they interfaced to create a solid community, despite societal and economic obstacles.

Book Description
Jennifer Lund was on a quest for answers to some of life's most enduring and unresolvable questions. "Why am I here? Have I been here before? Who was I?" Jennifer had a unique predisposition for psychic experiences which had surfaced in childhood. But she began to suspect that these brief encounters with the unknowable might be more than they appeared. Now a middle-aged, professional administrator, she has managed to dismiss her somewhat inconvenient abilities. But on the day she suddenly and inexplicably becomes terrified of her own husband, she begins a quest for answers that leads her back in time. Finding herself as a young child, daughter of a cobbler in a small Basque village during the early-nineteenth-century Carlist Wars, the events of that lifetime unfold, casting shadows upon the present and the choices that both she and her skeptical therapist are about to make. Her journey weaves itself through pre-Christian, Basque mythology and nineteenth-century French history to present-day psychology ... and back again. Is it merely a creation of her mind...or is she calling up memories from another time? Another place? Another life?

Book Description
This fascinating history of Anne Frank and the family that shaped her is based on a treasure trove of thousands of letters, poems, drawings, postcards, and photos recently discovered by her last surviving close relative, Buddy Elias, and his wife, Gerti. As children, Anne and her cousin Buddy were very close; he affectionately dubbed her “the Rascal” and they visited and corresponded frequently. Years later, Buddy inherited their grandmother’s papers, stored unseen in an attic for decades. These invaluable new materials bring a lost world to life and tell a moving saga of a far-flung but close-knit family divided by unimaginable tragedy. We see Anne’s father surviving the Holocaust and searching for his daughters, finally receiving a wrenching account of their last months. We see the relatives in Switzerland waiting anxiously for news during the war and share their experiences of reunion and grief afterwards—and their astonishment as Anne’s diary becomes a worldwide phenomenon. Anne Frank’s Family is the story of a remarkable Jewish family that will move readers everywhere.

Book Description
In this elegant book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer explores the manifold ways in which the Civil War changed the United States forever. He confronts its costs, not only human (six hundred thousand men killed) and economic (beyond reckoning) but social and psychological. He touches on popular misconceptions, including some concerning Abraham Lincoln and the issue of slavery. The war in all its facets “grows in our consciousness,” arousing complex emotions and leaving “a gallery of great human images for our contemplation.”
