Thirty years ago, I collapsed with a postpartum depression after our fifth child. There were no easy answers, and there were no antidepressants, so I asked God if he would be my Great Psychiatrist. He has gently taught me wonderful truths for living a happy life, which I share with you in Humpty. I write first as a patient, secondly as a Bible student and teacher, and lastly as a nurse who has been a hospice nursing coordinator. I am unaware of any book on the market today that attacks depression from a holistic perspective. I do not think you can get well without working on all three areas of life: spirit, mind, and body. Thus, Humpty. As a patient, I know that there were times when I couldnt concentrate. It was as though a fog settled on the shoreline of my mind. I have written Humpty using stories from my family and many friends. These stories are real and easy to read. My goal is to extend hope to anyone living a difficult life for whatever reason. Twenty million people are known to have depression. We are not all mentally ill; many of us are experiencing changes in our lives. We need time, friends, and a little help to switch the gears of life from wife to widow, employed to unemployed, freedom to twenty-four-hour caregiver.

Children can and do survive cancer; the last decade has seen many major advancements in treatment. Written honestly, yet in a reassuring tone, by a reference librarian whose child has survived cancer, Children with Cancer draws together a wealth of up-to-date information essential for anyone who wishes to help a child or family through this ordeal--including relatives, friends, teachers, and clergymen, as well as doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals. The information ranges from sophisticated, hard-to-find medical facts to practical tips on how to handle side effects, and much more. Describing in detail the whole range of childhood cancers, Bracken explores how they affect the child, the treatments available, how to cope with the changes this diagnosis will bring to the entire family, and where to go for both medical and emotional help. It also includes an appendix of common medical tests, a glossary of terms, and comprehensive lists of organizations, clinics, and cancer centers, complete with names and addresses. Reviews of the previous edition: "A remarkable job....The technical information is clearly stated, up to date and accurate.....But most of all, this is a human book."--Los Angeles Times "Comprehensive, well written, accurate, and compassionate.... Bracken's book can serve as a primary reference for parents and can be used as well by health care professionals and teachers." --Science Books and Films
