Wow! Looks like some bargains are to be had! Which days are you going?
There is a new book a friend is bringing me to read next week, "The Girls Who Went Away".
This book brings to light the lives of 1.5 million single American women in the years following World War II who, under enormous social and family pressure, were coerced to give up their newborn children. It tells not of wild and carefree sexual liberation, but rather of a devastating double standard that has had punishing long-term effects on these women and on the children they gave up. Single pregnant women were shunned by family and friends, evicted from schools, sent away to maternity homes to have their children alone, and often treated with cold contempt by doctors, nurses, and clergy. The majority of the women interviewed by Fessler, herself an adoptee, have never spoken of their experiences, and most have been haunted by grief and shame their entire adult lives
Interesting book!
I went today with a $40 budget and only spent $24 (yay me!). Found a few Craft books, a Taste of Home Holiday Annual , two Robin Cook novels that The Husband swears that I already have (they're all the same plot so he might be right...), oh, and a book of Timothy Botts' calligraphic depictions of Bible passages that I hope to frame a few of. I got The Husband a nicely bound copy of A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and a few baseball books for him and The Boy. The girls didn't make out so well, but I bought them a bunch of books at the Thrift Store last week that are tucked away for summer vacation.
