Coeditors Elizabeth Patton and Mimi Choi argue that an in-depth examination of media images of housework from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century is long overdue. Modern depictions often imply that certain concerns can be resolved through excessive domesticity, reflecting some of the complicated and unfinished issues of second-wave feminism. Home Sweat Home: Perspectives on Housework and Modern Relationships reveals how widespread the cultural image of “perfect” housewives and the invisibility of household labor were in the past and remain today. In this collection of essays, contributors explore the construction of women as homemakers and the erasure of household labor from the middle-class home in popular representations of housework. They concentrate on such matters as the impact of second-wave feminism on families and gender relations; of popular culture—especially in film, television, magazines, and advertising—on our views of what constitutes home life and gender relations; and of changing views of sexuality and masculinity within the domestic sphere. Home Sweat Home will interest students and scholars of gender, cultural, media, and communication studies; sociology; and American history and appeal to anyone curious about housework, gender relations and popular culture.

Home Sweet Home & Other Dangerous Places illustrates the theme that no matter where we as individuals are, we are not safe. We are not safe in the places we call home, at work, in a effort to ease our loneliness, nor in our minds. The stories in this collection range from a slightly feeble minded truck driver trying to win the affection of the woman behind the truck stop's cash register to the terrifying ordeal a young woman may or may not have experienced. Julie Failla Earhart's stories blend a mixture of betrayal, mental illness, innocence, and crime humans commit against each other.

This collection bundles two of popular author Sophie Hudson’s books together in one e-book, for a great value! A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet There’s nothing quite like family—for good or bad. But in a world where we sometimes know more about the Kardashians than we do the people sleeping right down the hall, it’s easy to forget that walking through life with our family offers all sorts of joy wrapped up in the seemingly mundane. There’s even a little bit of sacred sitting smack-dab in the middle of the ordinary. And since time’s-a-wastin’, we need to be careful that we don’t take our people—and their stories—for granted. Whether it’s a marathon bacon-frying session, a road trip gone hysterically wrong, or a mother-in-law who makes every trip to the grocery store an adventure, author Sophie Hudson reminds us how important it is to slow down and treasure the day-to-day encounters with the people we love the most. Written in the same witty style as Sophie’s BooMama blog, A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet is a cheerful, funny, and tender account of Sophie’s very Southern family. It’s a look into the real lives of real people—and a real, loving God right in the middle of it all. Home Is Where My People Are All roads lead to home. It’s easy to go through life believing that we can satisfy our longing for home with a three-bedroom, two-bath slice of the American dream that we mortgage at 4 percent and pay for over the course of thirty years. But ultimately, in our deepest places, we’re really looking to belong and to be known. And what we sometimes miss in our search for the perfect spot to set up camp is that wherever we are on the long and winding road of life, God is at work in the journey, teaching us, shaping us, and refining us—sometimes through the most unlikely people and circumstances. In Home Is Where My People Are, Sophie Hudson takes readers on a delightfully quirky journey through the South, introducing them to an unforgettable cast of characters, places, and experiences. Along the way, she reflects on how God has used each of the stops along the road to impart timeless spiritual wisdom and truth. Nobody embodies the South like Sophie Hudson, and this nostalgic celebration of home is sure to make even those north of the Mason-Dixon line long to settle in on the front porch with a glass of sweet tea and reflect on all of the people in our lives who—related or not—have come to represent home. Because at the end of the day, it’s not the address on the front door or even the name on the mailbox that says home, but the people who live and laugh and love there, wherever there might happen to be.

I’m living with a stranger and tiptoeing over secrets. Strange memories shift into my brain, memories that I can’t explain. Despite all the evidence that Eli and I are married, I know something isn’t right. I’m pretty sure he’s spying on me. I wonder what Eli is hiding from me. For that matter, what is he hiding from? He’s keeping secrets, but are they related to my memory loss? Is something even bigger going on? I’m playing a double agent, working with him to rebuild a life while trying to uncover the truth. A romantic thriller series. Updates at http://writerkristenjames.com/stranger-series/ Teaser: “You have a tattoo?” He pulls the shirt back off in one motion and sits on my side of the bed. Between his shoulder blades, there’s a set of wings with a dagger of some kind in front of it. I graze my fingers over it, making him shiver. His response makes me pull my hand back. “It’s okay.” He throws a look over his shoulder at me. We’re so close I can smell the scent of his skin—it makes me want to lean in and nuzzle my face. It’s a strange, fleeting feeling. A real feeling, though. That part feels good. “This looks like…a military tattoo.” “Got it in the Air Force,” he says like it’s common knowledge. “Oh… I know you don’t know, but it keeps happening. I have to stop and remember that you don’t remember.” “It’s not the Air Force emblem,” I say, almost to myself. It’s very close, though. Here and now, I remind myself, but still I wonder about it. “No, my own take on it. I liked the wing concept. That I can fly away.” Lower on his side, the one tilted away from me, I spot a scar and lean over to look. It’s five inches long and thick. “How did this happen?” I run my finger down it, but my heart thumps hard enough to hurt. It’s from a knife wound. “Oh, that’s not from my service. I jumped out of a tree when I was twelve and a branch had a sharp point. It cut pretty deep.” It looks like it’s not that old, and I’m sure it was a knife. I feel lightheaded suddenly. Am I creating an image of an open wound in his back or remembering it?

I have an embarrassing confession to make. I did it all for the cookie. Literally. Let me explain. All was well in Morningwood … until Hansel showed up at my house, looking like a snack. My wicked witch of a stepmother, Grundle, had cursed him to bake from the inside out until all of his bits turned buttery. From his frosted tips to his bubblegum lips and all the nutty deliciousness in between, one bite of my gingerbread man’s bonbon, and I rode more than a sugar high. I would happily taste his festive jawbreaker anytime of the year. But there was just one problem. This pastry party couldn’t last forever. If I didn’t find a cure for his candy heart and sneak us both out of this place, he’d soon become toast. I didn’t want to pick up his crumbs. I’d already had to pick up his sister’s ashes. Could I escape across Grundle’s fleshy fun bridge with my main gingerbread man, or was I bound to live an evil life, stuck with my witchy mother forever? Home Sweet Home is a dark romantic comedy re-telling of Hansel and Gretel and a prequel novella to the VILF series.
