When Lev Raphael published the controversial story collection Dancing on Tisha B'Av, he broke new ground in contemporary literature. Never before in one collection had an American writer revealed the conflicts between homosexuality and traditional Judaism, linked the chilling mind diseases of anti-Semitism and homophobia, and offered testimony not only to the legacy of Holocaust survivors but the suffering and conflicts of their children. Winner of the prestigious Lambda Literary Award, Raphael widened the scope of American Jewish fiction for a new generation. Secret Anniversaries of the Heart unites the most compelling tales from Dancing on Tisha B'Av with twelve new stories appearing in book form for the first time and the title story, never before published. Emotionally complex, edgy, and daringly intimate, here is a collection of twenty five years of stories that wrestle with questions of religious and sexual identity while displaying the gifts of a visionary writer in mid-career.

During WWII, a naive young woman is hired by a Nazi-sympathizing congressman, in this novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of A Ship Made of Paper. As the Second World War heats up, Caitlin Van Fleet moves to Washington, DC, to become a “government girl” in the office of Congressman Stowe, who has connections to such controversial figures as the fiery radio commentator Father Coughlin and the German-American Bund. Young and impressionable, Caitlin enters into a passionate love affair with the congressman’s aide, Betty Sinclair. But their relationship, while intense, is short-lived. When Caitlin befriends Joe Rose, an undercover reporter working to expose Stowe as a Nazi collaborator, she must decide once and for all what she truly stands for. From a two-time National Book Award finalist known for such novels as Endless Love, The Rich Man’s Table, and An Ocean Without a Shore, New York Times Notable Book Secret Anniversaries brings to life the political controversies surrounding World War II, and delves into one woman’s decades-long journey as she wrestles with questions of passion and principle. “Spencer is one of my very favorite writers.” —Emma Cline, New York Times–bestselling author of The Girls “A gifted storyteller.” —Newsday “A magnificent writer.” —Anne Tyler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Redhead by the Side of the Road

In this book, the preeminent child psychologist of our time gives us the results of his lifelong effort to determine what is most crucial in successful child-rearing. His purpose is not to give parents preset rules for raising their children, but rather to show them how to develop their own insights so that they will understand their own and their children's behavior in different situations and how to cope with it. Above all, he warns, parents must not indulge their impulse to try to create the child they would like to have, but should instead help each child fully develop into the person he or she would like to be.

Our sense of identity begins (our psychological birth sometime in the first year of life) with the feeling that we are the centre of the universe, protected by godlike benevolent parents who will enable us to live happily ever after. This is the "Promise" that is never given up, lurking in the unconscious part of our minds. We must learn, reluctantly, that our parents are unable to protect us from the passage of time, from decline, and from death. Yet we retain, even as adults, the delusion that, while others may die, we never will. This adds fuel to the murderous anger we are born with and must master, alongside the contradictory vertical split in the mind that we are destined to die. The "Promise" is described in patients and in examples from biography and fiction in relation to anniversaries and specific holidays. The book ends with a specific illustration in relation to an eight-month-old infant.
