Elizabeth Gentry's debut, Housebound, is a novel like no other: a disquieting and interior fairy-tale adventure through one family's secrets and lies. Maggie, the eldest daughter, is preparing to leave the house in which she's lived, worked, and been educated her whole life: a life led seemingly without contact with the outside world, save in the form of weekly trips to the library for the stories that are the only escape for Maggie and her eight brothers and sisters. Maggie's seeming estrangement from the most familiar details of her life give the novel an almost Kafkaesque feel, as if Kafka had been born an Appalachian woman.

Anne Kirkland is in love...with a home. The 200-year-old stone mansion has been in her family for generations and nothing is more important to her. A renaissance woman, who doesn't realize how gifted she is, Anne has poured her blood, sweat and tears, along with every penny she has, into restoring the house that she owns along with her father and siblings. But the ravages of time and nature have taken a toll, and despite her best efforts, Anne is losing the war. Noah Grant comes to the Kirkland house under false pretenses. Pretending to be one of Anne's sister's flings, Noah has really come to check out the house for his former father-in-law. Noah represents a group of interested buyers. With the rest of Anne's family on board, the sale of the house is imminent, and only Anne's stubborn determination is standing in the way. Anne and Noah are instantly drawn to each other, despite the obstacles standing in their way, but can Anne ever forgive him once she learns the truth?

What is it like to be an isolated old widow, living alone on the bare old-age pension? In the 1960s, the question had become a standard refrain. Originally published in 1966, this was the first full-length study by a sociologist of isolation in old age. Although the majority of old people were in no sense a problem group at the time, a substantial minority of the elderly were ‘alone’ in one or more ways. About 1.3 million people aged sixty-five and over in Britain lived alone; a large number admitted to feeling lonely, at least sometime. About a million were actually socially isolated in terms of low level and frequency of social contact. Mr Tunstall also uses a fourth category of aloneness – namely anomie (as developed by Durkheim, Merton, and Srole). This report uses careful and statistical analysis of the four types of aloneness and of specially affected groups such as the single, the recently widowed, and the housebound. But it also includes details of interviews with ten highly individual old people from suburban Harrow, booming Northampton, industrial revolution Oldham, and rural South Norfolk. The book contains a discussion of the problem of personality in isolation, and a commentary on the inadequacies of social theory about old age. Finally, the concluding chapter suggests a wide variety of policy measures which might help to alleviate social isolation in old age.

Blaise Dismer sits in his apartment in Denver, afraid to leave. He suffers from a fear-based disorder called agoraphobia. But years after suffering his first panic attack on his twenty-first birthday, he doesnt know exactly whats wrong. All he knows is the fear of embarrassment looms, and home is where he must stay. In this autobiographical account, Blaise explains how the nightmarish disorder affected his life, how he was finally diagnosed and how he overcame the disorder to live a productive live. As you read his inspirational story, you will learn how he relied on cognitive behavior therapy, medication, and other tools to help fight agoraphobia and how he found the courage to slough off shame and the fear of embarrassment. He describes how he deals with an anxiety disorder on a daily basis and how the disorder has affected his friends and family. Regardless of whether you suffer from anxiety disorder yourself, or whether you have a loved one waging a similar battle, youll find hope and practical guidance in this autobiography. Break out of your prison and overcome your fears with Homebound No More. Blaises story epitomizes the bright externally successful, sensitive people that I generally see in my office. They live like duckscalm on the outside and peddling like hell underneath. Rex Briggs, MSW, author of Transforming Anxiety, Transcending Shame
