Sarah Levine's Each Knuckle with Sugar is a soft yet powerful deep-dive into love and grief told through multiple fascinating perspectives.¿¿"I love this book. [...] Look, some of its tanginess may leap off the page and startle your fingers. Some of its honey may stick to your knuckles. Let it."-Chen Chen, author of Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency

From the Heavens to My Hands is a story of growth, acceptance and discovery. When Sarah was twelve she started to struggle with OCD, her world was filled with fear of uncertainty and she saw nothing beyond that. Her mother passed away when she was thirteen. Her world completely rocked, her foundation was gone. She no longer felt at home in her own house. She no longer felt at home... anywhere.That is when her Anxiety really began.

You can create a home only because it is already within you. All you have to do is to discover it and bring it out.And so don't just read these words, but let them sink in. Let them help you connect to your home within, your unbreakable soul.

"Arresting. This is the word that comes to mind after finishing Sarah Levine's, Take Me Home. From the first lines this collection grabbed my ear the way a good piece of music does, drawing me into its world of intimate utterance and melody. Throughout, Levine masterfully controls line, rhythm and language, building the music to crescendo before easing the tension in final, satisfying resolution. As I said, these poems are simply arresting." -Justen Ahren, author of A Machine For Remembering, and A Strange Catechism"Sarah Levine's poems beat like a heart. Familiar myths twist with each line. Primal, dreamy, and forlorn, like Andrew Wyeth paintings." -Rachel B. Glaser, author of Paulina & Fran"The poems in Take Me Home are filled with startling images that enrich their observations, creating a world that is uniquely new yet entirely familiar. Sarah Levine is an extremely gifted poet who understands the complexity and passion at the heart of the human condition. These finely tuned poems can only enhance the lives of those who read them." -Kevin Pilkington, author of The Unemployed Man Who Became a Tree

When it comes to parenting, more isn't always better-but it is always more tiringIn Japan, a boy sleeps in his parents' bed until age ten, but still shows independence in all other areas of his life. In rural India, toilet training begins one month after infants are born and is accomplished with little fanfare. In Paris, parents limit the amount of agency they give their toddlers. In America, parents grant them ever more choices, independence, and attention.Given our approach to parenting, is it any surprise that American parents are too frequently exhausted?Over the course of nearly fifty years, Robert and Sarah LeVine have conducted a groundbreaking, worldwide study of how families work. They have consistently found that children can be happy and healthy in a wide variety of conditions, not just the effort-intensive, cautious environment so many American parents drive themselves crazy trying to create. While there is always another news article or scientific fad proclaiming the importance of some factor or other, it's easy to miss the bigger picture: that children are smarter, more resilient, and more independent than we give them credit for.Do Parents Matter? is an eye-opening look at the world of human nurture, one with profound lessons for the way we think about our families.

LeVine and Gellner describe in evocative detail the experiences and achievements of Nepalis who have adopted Theravada Buddhism. Based on extensive fieldwork, interviews, and historical reconstruction, the book provides a rich portrait of the different ways of being a Nepali Buddhist over the past seventy years.
