From the concept of beauty to the social ill of discrimination, the importance of the face in our interpersonal interactions is certainly known. But have you ever thought about the role your face plays in your day-to-day life, or the way your face may have determined the outcome of an incident from your past? In About Face, twenty-five writers ...             Room to Grow3 reviews Christina Baker Kline Golden Guides from St. Martin's Press, 2000 A Necessary Collection As my daughter grew from a baby to a toddler, I found myself as confused about parenting books as I was about her clothing size. No books seemed to fit my needs: I no longer wanted the "new parent hand holding" books, but I didn't feel ready to approach this new stage without the comfort I've always derived from reading thoughtful -- and thought-provoking -- essays about personal experiences ...             Bird in Hand Intl Christina Baker Kline William Morrow, 2009             Always Too Soon: Voices of Support for Those Who Have Lost Both Parents4 reviews Allison Gilbert Seal Press, 2006 A MUST Own I was able to buy a copy of this book at a recent publicity signing and read it over the Thanksgiving holiday, around family, and it left me with such a feeling of closure and peace within myself. Each of the interviews touches upon different aspects of loss and healing and the author has woven them together so masterfully. I highly recommend the book to anyone who has lost a loved one, whether ...             Desire Lines: A Novel16 reviews Christina Baker Kline William Morrow, 1999 Very well written novel that balances it all This is the second novel I have ready by this author. I enjoyed Sweet Water very much and this novel did not disappoint either. The author does an excellent job of slowly letting the story unravel naturally. Characters are very realistic as are their relationships and the strains between people, even with the passing of time. I found this book very readable and am surprised it is already out ...             Child of Mine: Original Essays on Becoming a Mother11 reviews Christina Baker Kline Delta, 1998 Overwhelming gratitude I SO wish I had found this book years ago. It is the freshest, most intelligent, and best-written book about what it's like to be new mother that I have ever read. Don't get the impression that this collection of essays is strictly for women who "did the career thing" before they had children. This is an honest and touching examination from some of the most articulate women around...of all ages ...             The Way Life Should Be: A Novel33 reviews Christina Baker Kline Harper Paperbacks, 2008 Fabulous merging of "chick"lit with literary fiction I am a newbie to Baker Kline, but was given this book by a great friend. I had sworn off all "chick lit", as I find most of it drivel, and was disappointed in the cover's likeness to Laura Moriarty's latest snooze fest, the Rest of Her Life. Do not be misled! Baker Kline is a serious writer with a real grasp of the life of young women today. Although Angela Russo (protagonist) is a New Yorker ...             Sweet Water1 review Christina Baker Kline Perennial, 1994 Very Good Read This is a story about a girl who chooses to explore her families history to learn about her mother's death. The narrative goes back and forth between Cassie, the main character, and her grandmother, giving the reader insight on what really happened. What affected me the most is how a lie can truly change a life forever.             Conversation Begins: Mothers and Daughters Talk About Living Feminism Christina Baker Kline Bantam, 1997 The first book to take an honest, in-depth look at the difficulties and rewards of being a feminist mother and to ask prominent feminist daughters whether their mother's vision was successfully or unsuccessfully transmitted to them while growing up. Sisterhood, not motherhood, has been the focus of American feminism for the past twenty-five years. In fact, during the 70s many feminists viewed motherhood as a hindrance to women's progress toward ...              conversation Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love Common Grounds: Conversations About the Things That Matter Most In Conversation with God: Meditations for Each Day of the Year (7 ...
