Eve's experiences in Love's Recall expand her understanding of love as viewed through the bigger picture of time and space during her near-death experience.
Marriage Recall is a compilation of 52 weekly reminders on how to love during the everyday of life. It's a welcome knowledge-base to help keep your marriage on track or a trusty handbook on how to navigate through the tougher seasons-no matter how long you've been married. It can be used by couples, individuals, or in small groups. The chapters are short and filled with practical advice and humor, covering a specific skill or perspective-with a weekly journal page so you can apply it to your own situation. Read them in any order you would like. The steps are doable, even simple-but they are not easy! They rub against what has become standard practice in your marriage. They ask you to do something different, if you are in a rut. They invite you to change something that seems insignificant, but truly isn't-so that the displaced value of your marriage can be remembered and repaired. Marriage Recall pulls back the curtain on couples counseling, giving you a peek into the lives of courageous people struggling with everyday situations, and learning how to love through them. Section One-Remember, focuses on how to build communication skills and resolve conflict. Section Two-Repair, offers techniques to help with tough issues like infidelity, separation, or divorce. Section Three-Relove, suggests resources to enhance your marriage that often go ignored until getting help is critical. It's my suggestion that you read the entire book. If you do, you'll be ready to help yourself, your spouse, and other couples be intentional about building a successful marriage. You can do this!
Canadian performer k.d. lang broke new ground in the 1980s by blending the genres of punk and country, dubbed “cowpunk,” with her band, the Reclines. Despite Grammy-award-winning recordings and frequent North American TV spots, mainstream country radio excluded lang from airplay due to her unconventional gender presentation and perceived sexuality. Not until lang's 1992 pop album Ingénue, the release of the single “Constant Craving,” and her subsequent coming out in The Advocate did lang earn critical acclaim worldwide. The book addresses lang's rise to fame after switching genres, the successful reinvention of her sound and persona, and how she found herself immersed in the whirlwind of MTV and the "lesbian chic" aesthetic of 1990s pop culture. As an LGBTQ author, Joanna McNaney Stein discusses her adolescence and sexual development by weaving in short narrative prose pieces with her analysis of lang and Ingénue. Also included are interviews with lang's musical collaborators: Ingénue co-writer Ben Mink, drummer Fred Eltringham, pianist Daniel Clarke, and singer-songwriter Laura Veirs.
