In books such as Mystics and Messiahs, Hidden Gospels, and The Next Christendom, Philip Jenkins has established himself as a leading commentator on religion and society. Now, in Dream Catchers, Jenkins offers a brilliant account of the changing mainstream attitudes towards Native American spirituality, once seen as degraded spectacle, now hailed as New Age salvation. Jenkins charts this remarkable change by highlighting the complex history of white American attitudes towards Native religions, considering everything from the 19th-century American obsession with "Hebrew Indians" and Lost Tribes, to the early 20th-century cult of the Maya as bearers of the wisdom of ancient Atlantis. He looks at the popularity of the Carlos Castaneda books, the writings of Lynn Andrews and Frank Waters, and explores New Age paraphernalia including dream-catchers, crystals, medicine bags, and Native-themed Tarot cards. He also examines the controversial New Age appropriation of Native sacred places and notes that many "white indians" see mainstream society as religiously empty. An engrossing account of our changing attitudes towards Native spirituality, Dream Catchers offers a fascinating introduction to one of the more interesting aspects of contemporary American religion.

In her highly anticipated memoir, Margaret A. Salinger writes about life with her famously reclusive father, J.D. Salinger—offering a rare look into the man and the myth, what it is like to be his daughter, and the effect of such a charismatic figure on the girls and women closest to him. With generosity and insight, Ms. Salinger has written a book that is eloquent, spellbinding, and wise, yet at the same time retains the intimacy of a novel. Her story chronicles an almost cultlike environment of extreme isolation and early neglect interwoven with times of laughter, joy, and dazzling beauty. Compassionately exploring the complex dynamics of family relationships, her story is one that seeks to come to terms with the dark parts of her life that, quite literally, nearly killed her, and to pass on a life-affirming heritage to her own child. The story of being a Salinger is unique; the story of being a daughter is universal. This book appeals to anyone, J.D. Salinger fan or no, who has ever had to struggle to sort out who she really is from whom her parents dreamed she might be.

This is not a book for those looking to escape from today's politics. Sure, this is a steamy lesbian teen romance and a view of lesbian teens in the Sixties. There are vast similarities between the demonstrations of 2020-2021 and the protest marches of the Sixties. The author's life has been a deep politic, and she was very active in demonstrating for civil rights. Dreamcatcher is a personal and fictionalized memoir from that era. The 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act freed Black Americans from the terrors of the violent white racist American south under Jim Crow and set off many liberation movements in which the author was delighted to join including the anti-war movement that rid the United States of the military conscription known as "the draft" in 1973. She also worked for Gay Liberation and Women's Liberation. The author has met Gloria Steinem personally, and went to a live anti-war event featuring Jane Fonda. She supported the abortion-on-demand movement, a woman's right to choose and marched in the first Gay Pride parade in Chicago. She was a super hippie with feathers in her hair just like Julietta Bonaventura, our main character. The intimate love between Julie and Shainah and their struggles with family and community are the same today. In the Sixties, no lesbian was normally allowed to keep her children. No matter how abusive the father was - or how long and violent a felony record he had, he was always awarded custody. Homosexuality was considered a crime against nature. It was not seen as natural to love someone of the same gender. Despite Julie, Reese and Shainah's struggles to be free and the spitefulness of their rural community, Julie's dad and his girlfriend Chun-hua always supported the girls. Their lives should ring true today loud and clear. Peace, Love and Happiness...Know Justice, Know Peace! Stay Safe, Stay Strong!

Our minds and hearts often exploded with joy as we became immersed in the scenes. At times, we were one with the mystical silence and landscape. "Suddenly, we started climbing and climbing until I felt we couldn't go higher. GERONIMO! I cried yet still we climbed. The road became so narrow and steep that I began to think we might begin to go backward. We down-shifted again. When we crossed Ten Sleep Creek, I peered out my window looking for snow pack. It was summer. Still we climbed, higher and higher. The clouds became bigger-and closer. The blue, bright sky blue...and rich forest green encompassed us. Had we passed over? Were we on the other side? Dreamcatcher downshifted and climbed some more. Dear Lord, if my ears hadn't popped earlier, I would have listened for the choir of angel voices. We passed through Big Horn, Sitting Bull, and climbed higher. The air got thinner, the water became purer, the sun brighter. Still we climbed. There were no people. There was no pollution. There was no barrier between us and God. We climbed higher. The road narrowed. The blue faded into grey. We were in the clouds and heaven bound."
