In 1959, Joey was a five-year-old kid who just couldn't wait to start school. Unfortunately, during that time, parents were not required to enroll kids into kindergarten at the age of five. Now Joey lived on the main road where kids walked to and from school. He would get up early each scheduled school day and stare out of the same window to watch the kids pass by his house. Sometimes he would just patiently stare out the window, and other times he would wave, hoping to share in just a small part of the school kid's journey. One day, Joey had a bad idea and decided to take matters into his own little hands. He quietly packed part of his breakfast into a Hot Wheel carry case and sneaked out the back door, and unbeknownst to his mom, Joey took his place among the kids walking to school. This is a children's book about a five-year-old's passion, family values, and ultimate achievement.

Corfu, 2004: Sarah's daughter, Bea, has built a happy life with a steadfast husband and two independent daughters.

But there is a secret threatening their beach paradise. Florida, 2019:Joey is only days away from marrying the nice Jewish man her family adores. The arrival of Leo, Joey's first love, sends her reeling. Even after fifteen years, the attraction between them burns bright—but Leo isn't looking for a happy reunion. He's there to reveal why he really broke up with her during their last summer together. Weddings have a way of bringing out the best—and worst—in those you love the most. And as the revelations of her family flood to the surface, what Joey learns will either bring them closer together . . . or tear them apart forever.

Throughout her career, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Maxine Kumin has been at the vanguard of discussions about feminism and sexism, the state of poetry, and our place in the natural world. The Roots of Things gathers into one volume her best essays on the issues that have been closest to her throughout her storied career. Divided into sections on "Taking Root," "Poets and Poetry," and "Country Living," these pieces reveal Kumin honing her views within a variety of forms, including speeches, critical essays, and introductions of other writers’ work. Whether she is recollecting scenes from her childhood, ruminating on the ups and downs of what she calls "pobiz" (for "poetry business"), describing the battles she’s fought on behalf of women, or illuminating the lives of animals, Kumin offers insight that can only be born of long and closely observed experience.
