Home, Marcus Eriksen, April 2007, cloth, $24.95, 978-0-8070-7275-2
Times-Picayune (New Orleans), review in the April 29th issue: “Eriksen
is honest and reflective about the way his character has been formed . . .
a complex, subtle portrait of what makes the warrior spirit—whether fighting
for his country abroad or fighting for peace at home. So when he talks about
what we owe our servicemen—our time and attention, first of all -- it
has the ring of conviction and wisdom . . . Marcus Eriksen, a hero indeed,
speaks for soldiers everywhere when he writes of the need for peace.”

"Spelling Love with an X is a beautifully written journey of
a woman toward understanding – of herself, her son, and the twists of
fate and DNA that bind them and all of us. Clare Dunsford's powerful and moving
memoir is rich with humor, poetry and, most of all, love." —Mitchell
Zuckoff, author of Choosing Naia: A Family’s Journey
