Judiths Garden Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Judith's Garden From my very soul I dislike Miss Singleton. You know yourself, there are people one can't like. She was of that sort, - a pious, fussy woman, exerting herself dreadfully hard to get to heaven. Of late she had taken to foreign missions. Now she had called to exhort me to join the missionary society. Had I been myself, I should have concocted a polite excuse - expressed a mock sorrow, and gently refused her; but as it was, I took an unholy delight in replying to that woman. I told her I did not intend to join any society. She inquired, sadly, if I did not feel concerned in the welfare Of my antipode brother.

In this groundbreaking book, a leading clinical psychiatrist redefines how we think about and treat victims of trauma. A "stunning achievement" that remains a "classic for our generation." (Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score). Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.

Excerpt from The Wooing of Judith Eternal should pass him by. He named the great works of the king, his mighty roads, his harnessed rivers, his ever victorious armies. These were not the achievements of a mortal man, and it was inconceivable that the spirit which had wrought all this should ever flicker and go out in the night of oblivion.

Excerpt from The Garden of Memories The tall hollyhocks that cast wavering blue shadows on the white stone pathway nod to one another in the breeze, nod, it seems, knowingly, for from the pathway one may see into the pleasant room where the spinet and its fair player are and seeing these may also see the handsome figure of the Captain, who leans upon the spinet, the better to see into those bright eyes that have brought him home to Eng land and Sussex from across the seas, though at this time in the service of his Grace the Captain General there is much to be done and much to be won.

Excerpt from A Garden of Roses: Stories and Sketches Their mother was devoted to them. NO matter how ill or weary she might be, she would hasten to save them from the necessity of doing anything that she could do. They accepted the service as a matter Of course. Their father had never been very rich. A certain economy had always been necessary in his household; when, in the winter, the ques tion of new gowns and wraps recurred, it was understood, Of course, that the girls were to have the most costly articles of that kind; while their mother was contented to take what was left after they had gotten what they fancied they needed. They had seal-skin sacks and diamond ear rings; while their mother, still young, and certainly more interesting in every way than her daughters, wore cheap garments. But nobody seemed to be struck by the strangeness of this arrangement. It was not singular in their set; it was the rule for mothers to take the second place even before their daughter assumed long gowns.
