Brooke's Journey of Heart is the story of a daughter who lives each
day with the disabilities delivered with her at birth and the
mother who gave birth to her. Beverly Charles asked her daughter,
Brooke Klemme, if she would like to write her story of living with
Spina Bifida. Brooke responded, "Yes There are two sides to every
story." Brooke and Beverly show us both sides of their story in the
context of faith, family, and friends. In 1971, more than 6000
American children were born with Spina Bifida, but like most
people, Beverly Charles knew nothing about this condition until she
gave birth to her third and last child. In this touching memoir
co-authored by Charles and her daughter Brooke Klemme, we learn
first-hand not only what it means, but what it feels like - to
raise a disabled child, to watch her suffer and triumph, and to be
that child, who now as an adult, tells her side of the story. Most
parents will never have to answer this question - should your new
baby live? For Brooke's mother, there was only one answer, an
answer that would involve multiple surgical procedures,
interminable hospital stays, and an army of doctors and therapists
- an answer that would change her and her family forever. This book
is a spiritual memoir and a medical one. The authors make
connections with Eastern and Western religious practices that have
seen them through difficult and joyous times for over four decades.
Their story transcends the personal to offer hope and help to other
parents who have faced the same hard question and who, like Beverly
and Brooke, answer "YES." As one reader said, "I loved it. I
laughed, cried, got mad, got sad, and now feel like a part of your
family."

For the past decade--ten eventful, epochal years--the Best
Editorial Cartoons of the Year series has become the definitive
compendium of leading cartoonists ' views of major national and
international issues. Started in 1972, the series has been widely
acclaimed as a concise yet far-ranging pictorial history of each
year's events. As Publisher's Weekly said, "it's a great way to get
the gut feeling of a year's history." The works of nine Pulitzer
Prize winners are featured in " Best Editorial Cartoons of 1972 ."
Edited by Charles brooks, past president of the Association of
American Editorial Cartoonists, the 160-page hardcover volume
provides a pictorial history of the year's top news events as seen
by 110 editorial cartoonists from throughout the Unitd States and
Canada. The book inludes the editorial cartoons selected as winners
of the Pulitzer Prize and the Sigma Delta Chi and Headliner Awards
for the previous year.
ARMED CAMP
Combine the wit and insight of more than 130 leading editorial
cartoonists from the United States, Canada, and Latin America with
the headline-making events of a year filled with controversial
issues, and the result is this provocative volume of prickly satire
and social commentary.
A pictorial history of the year's major developments, this
collection of more than 360 editorial cartoons focuses the
spotlight on those stories that claimed banner treatment in
newspapers around the world.
Included are such intriguing issues as the travails of the
Carter Administration, the Bert Lance affair, the cash-and-carry
Korean scandal, the antics of Brother Billy Carter, a balky U.S.
Congress, and the free-wheeling diplomacy of United Nations
Ambassador Andrew Young. Without a doubt, the year seemed
tailor-made for editorial cartoonists everywhere.
The cartoonists' pen also gives special attention to the
continuing struggle for peace in the Middle East, the Panama Canal
debate, the political tinderbox in Africa, and President Carter's
advocacy of human rights throughout the world.
Twenty-six of the year's major issues and events are explored in
depth by these talented artists, among whom are numbered dozens of
award winners, including Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists.
This volume, the sixth in a series of annuals, also pays special
tribute to the dean of the editorial cartoonist profession, Cy
Hungerford of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The venerable Hungerford
delighted readers with his cartoons for 74 years before retiring in
1977 at the age of 89.
As in the previous five volumes, this edition was edited by
Charles Brooks, himself a prize-winning cartoonist, whose workshave
appeared in the Birmingham News for more than a quarter of a
century. A past recipient of the Sigma Delta Chi Award for
cartooning and numerous Freedoms Foundation honors, Brooks is a
past president of the Association of American Editorial
Cartoonists.
