Grant, University of Wisconsin–Madison “Teachers, researchers, and policymakers will find thought–provoking ideas, engaging stories, and practical strategies for including those who have typically been excluded from the conversation. —Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst “Other Kinds of Families will enlarge your sense of humanity, encourage you to rethink the meaning and importance of our most intimate relationships, and change forever the way you see families—everyone else's and your own.” —William Ayers, University of Illinois at Chicago

Through 'The wonderchild within us,' Kamraj Sundram brings a very humane approach to face situations in our lives. In this book, the author communicates to the reader through various events in families situated across the globe. These families, despite the distance, are still connected through deep friendships with each other. The stories detail events that happen in the lives of this intriguing group of friends and families. Personally, I learned new ways from how the characters apply their thinking, feeling, and understanding to the events and shape their worldview proactively while contributing positively to people around them. The characters include children capable of thinking on their own, parents, and also grandparents. The book is also an exciting fiction; it is not pure non-fiction that belongs to the self-help genre. It is a collection of short stories where key topics are addressed through the characters' experiences and sharing. I trust the work by Kamraj Sundram appeals to all parents, parents-to-be, and teenagers. The stories are engaging, and they bring a warm and soulful touch with events that I, as a reader, can personally relate to based on my life experiences. - Ramiah Seshan

"It was two years ago and we are such good friends now. It just seems we have always been that way. I never really think about how it all came to be." Megan had no idea that her special gift would hold such significance, but to a distant and angered Jonathan, it would change everything. A Special Gift is a touching wholesome story set back in the late 1800's, but filled with biblical truths and valuable life lessons that are still applicable to our youth today. Follow along on Megan and Jonathan's life-changing journey of personal challenges, entertaining mishaps, and growing friendships to the heartfelt ending that will leave you wanting more. See how God's promise to his people was not to spare them from difficult times that come to pass, but to be there with them when they do. For God is always with us, sometimes in ways we would have never even imagined. ***Kennedy Krieger Institute and Hope Road Nicaragua will each receive a 25% contribution from the sale of each book***

Dan Zevin, master of "Seinfeld-ian nothingness" (Time), is trying his best to make the transition from couplehood to familyhood. Acclimating to the adult-oriented lifestyle has never been his strong suit, and this slice-of-midlife story chronicles the whole hilarious journey--from instituting date night to joining Costco; from touring Disneyland to recovering from knee surgery; from losing ambition to gaining perspective. Where it's all heading is anyone's guess, but, for Dan, suburbia's calling--and his minivan has GPS. -- Jacket, p. [2].

“A generous, poignant memoir” of loss, family secrets, and a quest to shape something beautiful out of the chaos of nature (Kirkus Reviews). Just as Alex and her husband buy a house in Toronto, set atop an acre of wilderness that extends into a natural gorge in the middle of the city, she learns that her father, a Ukrainian-born immigrant, has died. Her new home’s gigantic, abandoned garden, choked with weeds and crumbling antique structures, resembles a wild jungle—and it stirs cherished memories of Alex’s childhood: When her home life became unbearable, she would escape to the forest. In her new home, Alex can feel the power of the majestic trees that nurtured her in her youth, but as she begins to beat back the bushes to unveil the garden’s mysteries, her mother has a stroke and develops dementia. When Alex discovers an envelope of yellowed documents while sorting through her father’s junk pile, offering clues to her parents’ mysterious past, she reluctantly musters the courage to uncover their secrets. While discovering the plants hidden in the garden—from primroses and maple syrup–producing sugar maples to her mother’s favorite, lily of the valley—she must come to terms with the circle of life around her, and find the courage to tend to her own family’s future. “The land is rife with unexpected delights: a huge, decaying pagoda, underground aquifers, a pond, koi, deer, and all manner of vegetation. . . . As she restores the property and heals her long-troubled soul, Risen paints a vivid and exquisite portrait of nature and its profound significance.” —Publishers Weekly
