Along with his six brothers, they spent their childhood doing the things most boys do: catching animals, making messes and terrorizing their sisters.

A time when children walked or rode their bikes to little league games, and knew it was time to come home when the street lamps came on. Enjoy these memories of a group of boys who enjoyed their childhoods to the fullest, in spite of the objections of their sisters.

By Sara Swan Miller
At least 30,000 people kill themselves in the United States alone, most leaving behind shocked siblings. Yet, too often, the grief and bewilderment of surviving siblings is simply ignored, leaving the bereaved siblings feeling even more abandoned. The accounts of siblings' experiences in this book are based on interviews with more than thirty people from all over the United States, as well as the author's own experience of losing a sister to suicide. Just as sibling relationships are varied and complex, so the feelings and experiences of sibling suicide survivors run a long and complex gamut from deep grief, to anger, to guilt, to relief. Often these feelings are intermixed. The survivors are often bewildered by the complexity of their feelings, including reactions that may seem shameful or inappropriate. These moving accounts will help other sibling survivors of sibling suicide see that they are not alone. No matter what their feeilngs and reactions are, there are others who have shared them.

By Ethel Lee-Miller
In my memory, I am resting in a hammock between a childhood that was and the reality of today. In it, I am in a place where I can still, if only in my daydreams, take off my shoes and run barefoot up the hill. If you don't have a red-ribbon experience or your own red-ribbon place, I offer you mine-in a sleepy New York town of the 1950s called Miller Place. In this tender, sparkling memoir, Ethel Lee-Miller reflects on childhood summers at her grandfather's home in an idyllic town on the northeastern end of Long Island. Carefree summertime at Miller Place grounded and sustained Ethel and her twin sister Eileen through the inevitable clumsiness of adolescence and informed the character, beliefs, and values that would serve them forever. An enchanting oasis of freedom and exploration, Miller Place offered days filled with diving in the waters of the Long Island Sound and evenings lit by fireflies. With her twin always by her side, Ethel savored childhood innocence while coming of age and forming secure, lasting ideals about love, beauty, home, and family. To this day, Ethel has only to think of Miller Place to be overcome by feelings of comfort, serenity, and belonging.

By Elaine Good
A vivid, often humorous slice of autobiography, We Went To England spans the Atlantic Ocean—Rochester, New York to London, the Great Depression and the second World War. Children of an American mother and an English father, Elaine and her sisters have a privileged, sheltered life—more akin to the world of Jane Austen than that of Angela's Ashes. Elaine, though, finds there is always a BUT. You have to learn to be a Lady. To obey a set of rigid rules—what's "done" and "not done". Too many of the rules she learns only after breaking them. With the War in 1939 everything changes. Being a Lady is no longer so important—surviving is. There are gas masks, air raids, bombs and the constant fear of death. After September 11, 2001, Elaine's story has fresh relevance. As a young girl she learned that in the presence of constant low-level fear, life goes on—and so do laughter and purpose.
