|  | | Calamity's Quilt
A stunning collection of poetry on disability, addiction, grief, and hope, by award-winning poet, Janet I. Buck
In "Calamity's Quilt," Janet I. Buck addresses the constitution of universal grief and proves, in poem after poem, that "confessional" writing is a stepping stone to comprehension and acceptance. Art is a tool for catharsis, a celebration of difference, and the meat of survival. There are no untouchable subjects in this book: she copes with amputation, addiction, familial complexity, and even death. There is unabated honesty here. From page to page to page, she is, in her own words, "scratching suffer's fingernails against the promise of the light." | |  | | Samantha Stone: A Novel of Mystery, Memoir & Romance
Murder. Deceit. Dysfunction. Addiction. A fencing match between good & evil. Tenderness. Romance. A family built from "scratch." It's all right here in Janet Buck's Samantha Stone. Read and find out how one young woman dodges all these poison darts.
Samantha Stone, by Janet Buck, is a five-course meal of memoir, suspense, romance, deceit, and the tale of a young amputee who struggles to define herself in the face of adversity so complex it can’t be real, yet it is. Samantha loses her birth mother to Leukemia shortly after her 3rd birthday. A woman with a tongue so sharp it can slice a lemon without a knife takes her mother’s place, and the friction in the Stone home is more crippling than her disability. On the cusp of her 18th birthday, she finds herself leaning on her best friend’s arm in a world tainted by murder, | |  | | The Cameo in: Gifts from Our Grandmothers
