Women in Shadow and Light: Journeys from Abuse to Healing by photographer Jan Goff-LaFontaine won the Independent Publisher's (IPPY) Book of the Year (Women's Issues)! Finalist for a 2007 Nautilus Award!

Women in Shadow and Light depicts forty women—ages nineteen to ninety-five—who bared all to express their triumph over trauma. In this daring approach, black and white photographs combine with moving interviews to portray the essence of each woman’s journey from the violence of abuse to transformation and healing. This is the most hope-filled book you will ever read about abuse and recovery.

This honor comes hard on the heels of HELP of Door County (Wisconsin) honoring Jan Goff-LaFontaine with the 2006 “Friend of Victims” award. Jan was recognized for her efforts with her ‘Out of the Shadows’ photo exhibit and the resulting book Women in Shadow and Light. “These projects are more than another abuse story, Jan has been instrumental in bringing attention to the healing process of victims of abuse,” says Barb Maskell, Program Director for HELP.

European Menu Translator by Anne and Whitney Galbraith is a handy pocket-sized guide designed for the English-speaking traveler who may not be familiar with menu terms in French, German, Italian and Spanish. Dictionaries and laptop translators are too bulky to drag to dinner, PDA translators are too limited, but the European Menu Translator is easy to handle and gives the traveler the information they need.

Just 150 years ago, the Lake Tahoe region was home to the Native American tribe the Washoe. The folks at Kidswork, Ink have created a tribute to the Washoe in their children's historical fiction Washoe Seasons of Life: A Native American Story. Co-authors Diane Domiteaux and Karen Wallis (a teacher and principal in the Washoe County School District) wrote this charming read-aloud book that presents the life of one little Washoe girl in pictures and story as she and her people work and play through the seasons. As an added bonus, the major nouns are translated into the Washoe language in a separate box on each page. Pictures showing the beauty of the Lake Tahoe region and the strength of these Native American people were painted by Lea Saling, who also works in the Washoe County School District.
