This story takes place in a little southern town not far from Atlanta, Georgia. The year is 1952. It is a becoming of age story and much more. Suzanna is the main character, and when she becomes sixteen the little head voice arrives. This is about the trials, hopes, and dreams of a disturbed young girl. She can't understand why no one wants to talk about the voice. It also happened at a time and age when mental illness was a shameful disorder, and wasn't considered a physical disease as it is today.

."Sex and gender Identities area so important to the actualization of "self." Taylor's work has helped me to better deliver patient care in individuals struggling with self constructs. This work is impelling and emotional. His work will have an impact on the Psychiatric communities which will help shape social perceptions and treatment trends." -Dr. Victor R Barnes MD

"Holder first uses his own experience to gain unprecedented access to a broader community of people whom, using normative understanding of sex, gender and sexual orientation, many of us might identify as 'transsexual, ' 'tansgendered', 'intersexed', or some 'other' in-between and thus socially marginalizing category. He then boldly re-maps this social landscape in ways that situate us all somewhere in-between. While respecting the differences in our experience, Holder calls from greater continuity in- and at the very least, greater scrutiny toward- our measurement of it" -Dr. John G. Dale, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Sociology George Mason University

"All Points in Between" explores sex and gender identities, and argues that an understanding of both sex and gender as a spectrum, rather than binary categories, would help people to live healthier lives. Mislabeling a person's sex status at birth can cause unreasonable expectations and pain for individuals and family members. Interviews with both "invisible" and "visible" transsexual and biologically ambiguous individuals and their families are analyzed to help readers better understand the intersections of sex and gender identities. The book sheds light on the dilemmas, tensions, and contradictions arising from the social construction of sex and gender. While exposing the weakness of historical research that has established social beliefs and psychological treatment trends, the author offers up new possibilities for thinking about these identities. This work addresses conflicts within the Transsexual, Transgender and Intersexed communities, and speaks to the professional fields of various sciences as well as mainstream society. Envisioning societies potential, "All Points in Between" paints a hopeful picture for the individual, family and the professionals who work with people facing sex and gender assignment challenges. In 2001 Taylor Holder first publicly spoke on an educational panel, supported by The Harvey Milk Institute, PFLAG, ISNA, and The Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission of San Francisco addressing Intersex issues.

From two leading instructors in business and Buddhism comes a fresh approach to making peace with your finances and creating true abundance.

It may seem contradictory that Buddhist teachers Kulananda and Dominic Houlder have also been highly successful in the business arena, but they have learned that Buddhist teachings do not require a life of poverty, and can indeed go hand-in-hand with wealth and prosperity. Mindfulness and Money brings to light the teachings of Buddha as they apply to the money part of life, and shares the stories of others who have found the Buddhist path to freedom, creativity, and abundance.

Using the Buddhist Wheel of Life as a starting point, the authors explore the mechanism by which desire for money and material things is confining, and how mastery of desire can free us to live peacefully with our finances. Kulananda and Houlder offer five precepts for living on the Path of Abundance, including kindness, generosity, contentment, honesty, and awareness. Through prescriptive meditations, reflections, and exercises, we can begin to earn and spend more purposefully–the key to finding financial peace, whatever one’s income. An enlightening combination of practical wisdom and spirituality, Mindfulness and Money is a valuable asset for all seekers.
