Thin Ice: Race, Sports, and Awakening in the 1950s (a novel)
Richard Van Scotter's first novel is woven from classroom and sports venues through the lives of students in 1956-57, who struggle to make sense of the complex, contradictory society that emerges during a formative period.
The three s
easons--autumn, winter, and spring--of the school year frame a setting for the drama that unfolds.
This story takes readers back to a time and environm
ent that nurtured much more than the "Silent Generation." The era was a gateway to excesses in sports, commercialism, and lifestyles. It also sowed the seeds for heightened social awareness. This happens, as Van Scotter lays bare, where schools and
communities value the educative life.
The author seldom strays far from his learned background, reminding readers that history can be an awakening and the life of reflection is indispensable.
"Thin Ice" is a poignant metaphor for the cultural
environment we inherit and are challenged to comprehend.
It's also a story that offers readers a deeper understanding
of the central purpose
of our sch
ools, particularly those charged
with preparing the nation's teachers.

University of Minnesota

North of Normal: Minne-Sconsin Stories
by Rick Wehler
Thanks to what his wife, Cora "the Dish," has labeled "a weird sense of humor," Rick Wehler has been able to laugh at the challenges of life in Minne-Sconsin, most notably jobs, hobbies, humdrum happenings, health headaches, foibles, family, friends, fond memories, doctors and nurses, and psychotic states of mind induced by the consumption of copious quantities of complex sugars. It's his hope that each reader will be able to identify with one of the short stories-a paragraph, a sentence, or a character-and laugh along with him.

Dark Corner of the Mind
by Anthony Anonimo
Reading this book is addicting in itself!
Pick it up once, and you're hooked.
Addiction to heroin and other drugs, legal and illegal, has grown to epidemic proportions worldwide, impacting a drastically increasing number of people and their families.
"Dark Corner of the Mind" exposes the real-life experiences a person very rarely lives to describe and opens windows of understanding to an addict's thoughts and actions.
Author Anthony Anonimo is one of the rare survivors of this chaotic lifestyle and far-reaching poor decisions. His is a story that usually could only be told from the grave of one of addiction's many victims. Anonimo's heartfelt and brutally honest account describes the real-life deceit in our society that manifests itself through greed, power, and white-collar crime, all of which he played a role in creating.
This powerful and poignant memoir takes readers to whole new level of understanding of addiction itself, the depth of its insanity, and the path of destruction it leaves behind.
This book captures the real-life insanity that comes with the territory of addiction. This memoir tells of how bad decisions began a lifestyle that spiraled into crime, institutions, death, and spiritual destruction. Nothing is held back in the quest to feed the addiction.
--
David S., Waukesha, WI
You can't read "Dark Corner of the Mind" without rooting for the author. His tale of addiction, recovery-and the triumphs and backslides along the way-are as compelling as it gets. When you read this story, it's hard to imagine that it's fact, not fiction, and that the person at the center has survived to tell this tale. "Dark Corner of the Mind" is as addicting as the drug life it chronicles. --
Steven S., Elizabeth, NJ

Life on the Loose: My Journey from Urban Housewife to Outdoor Guide
By Cari Taylor-Carlson
Life on the Loose: My Journey from Suburban Housewife to Outdoor Guide
explores Cari Taylor-Carlson's thirty-two year adventure with Venture West as she and her customers traveled the world with backpacks, canoes and kayaks. This was a risky business with an unexpected learning curve-from the first backpacking trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to the final hiking trip in Zion National Park. She experienced the highs and the pits of the outdoor travel world as she navigated the unknown with her trusting customers following behind. In the book, Taylor-Carlson held nothing back as she somehow survived her own occasional negligence. She learned the art of the fake smile when things fell apart as she stuffed her panic because it was her job to set the tone for the group.

In the beginning, a painful divorce led Taylor-Carlson to recognize her need for wilderness, her safe place. That's what gave her courage to pursue her dream and start her business.
Life on the Loose
explores two journeys--the internal angst of the guide and the external beauty of the places she traveled.
People who look for inspiration, or enjoy an unvarnis
hed insider's account of the outdoor adventure travel business, or simply like a good story told with complete honesty, will want to read
Life on the Loose.
