Meant to Be by Walter Anderson (Paperback - Reprint)
<p><em>Parade</em> magazine's Walter Anderson, one of America's most admired editors, grew up on "the wrong side of the tracks" in Mount Vernon, New York. The youngest child of an alcoholic, abusive father, he escaped his situation by quitting high school at sixteen to join the Marines. Four years later, while on leave to attend his father's funeral, he stunned his mother with a question that had inexplicably haunted him since he was a small boy: Was the man who had so tormented him in his childhood his real father? Her answer: Walter was born of a wartime affair between his Protestant mother and the Jewish man she loved. His mother swore Walter to secrecy, and he honored their pact for nearly thirty-five years. Then, one day he met an unknown brother -- another son of his real father -- who had lived a nearly parallel life. Their secret, in ways large and small, defined the course of Walter's life.</p>

Raising Blaze by Debra Ginsberg (Paperback - Reprint)
<p>Debra Ginsberg knew that her son was unique from the moment he was born. Blaze never crawled; at one he simply stood up and walked. By the time he was four, he knew the complete works of Miles Davis. At five, he assigned colors to the days of the week. When he turned ten, he asked to reenact his own birth, so that this time he could have "enough breath to cry." But from his first day of kindergarten, Blaze was considered a "problem" in the classroom. All his life he's defied diagnosis by a host ofexperts who have sought to label him.</p><p>Writing with blistering honesty and irrepressible humor, Debra Ginsberg interweaves her moving personal story and tales of her hard-fought battles with schools and medical professionals to create a book that speaks to all parents. <i>Raising Blaze</i> is a message in a bottle to all the square pegs who refuse to be shaped, shoved, or squeezed into unyielding round holes.</p>
