This book, through original letters, tells the story of a young German sent alone to the U.S. at the age of 16 as he struggles to bring the rest of his family to this country. Through the letters of his mother and brother It also tells the story of his family in divided Berlin during the immediate post-war and early Cold War years. Because he had born in the United States, unlike the rest of his family, his American citizenship enabled him to enter this country as a "repatriated American," but his struggles were those of a teenaged immigrant without a sponsor or any contacts in his birth country. In some respects this is truly a "coming of age" story as well as constituting a unique primary source documenting the effects of the early Cold War on an individual family.

JANE IN WINTERMore than anything, Jane Mabry wants to have an adventure and it all begins one dull Saturday morning when no one wants to play with her. First she meets a mysterious old lady near the graveyard who asks for her help. Then she meets a strange girl and her adventures do begin...JANE AND THE ESSEX SERPENTThings were much more exciting in the olden days, Jane Mabry thinks - but they were much more dangerous too. In this story Jane travels back into the past and sees history unfold and helps defeat the Essex Serpent the scourge of the neighborhood.These two tales combining history, family, magic and adventure are in the tradition of E.Nesbit, Enid Blyton and C.S.Lewis. They are set in England in the 1950's on a romantic and decaying old estate similar to the one where the author grew up.Elizabeth Wix's first novel, The Three Graces, was published by Soho Press in 1989, and she has written essays for the New York Times and Newsday.

Set in the 1970s, "In Between" deals with the struggle of a perfectionistic teen's crippling anxiety and depression. The story's heroine, Erin Barnes, wants more than anything to hide her disorders from others while facing the often unfriendly territory of adolescence in a strict and often cruel religious community. A cautionary tale of how well people can hide their despair.

Excellent as a journal for one girl or as a tool to use in a group setting for writing and discussion. Each entry covers a different topic and then allows space for the reader to do their own writing. Topics are particularly relevant today, such as the entry, "Airbrushed." Doesn't talk down or issue simple edicts, such as "love yourself," but takes a different approach, which respects intelligence and individuality. There is an emphasis on empowerment, self-esteem and personal accountability.
