"Spike Gillespie is beautiful, charming, and funny. She told me to write that. It's also true, especially the funny part. Some of us are just a lot more alive than others, and Spike is one of those people who lives at 90 m.p.h. while experiencing everything that happens to her with an intensity that is either painful or hilarious, but usually both. If you can imagine Anne Lamott as a working-class kid from Jersey with a penchant for losers, you have an idea of Spike. She's a woman grown now and signs of wisdom are setting in, not that many years but a lot of mileage on the woman. As a writer, what she brings to the mountains of baggage in her life is not only humor but incurable honesty. I think of her as a voice of the younger generation, even though she's approaching forty, because she has no protective layer on her nerve endings, no cynicism, no been there/done that, no ability to dismiss anything as too freaking strange to bother with. She experiences it all wide open and then reports back.--Molly Ivins, nationally syndicated political columnist and author of Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She?"Spike Gillespie's voice is highly idiosyncratic, extremely charming, and deeply personal. . . . She is such a winning heroine that you root for her, for her son. You want to smooth the way for them a bit through the hardships they endure with such great good humor."--Sarah Bird, author of The Yokota Officers Club, Virgin of the Rodeo, and The Mommy ClubSpike Gillespie tells it like it is. Whether she's writing about men, mothering or money, she cuts to the chase, unabashedly recounting the exhilaration and uncertainty she is forever encountering along the odd path that is her life. Gillespieapproaches her subjects with a keen eye for curious details and a readiness to ask hard questions and give honest, even brutal, answers.

What a Deal! the Louisiana Purchase
The land seemed endless. It was dirt cheap. It was a deal too good to be true! But it was true! And today, the heartland of America is what is because President Jefferson knew a good deal when he saw one.

Guilt
As pastors see it, part of their roles is to help heal guilt with the grace of God's acceptance and forgiveness. The process of healing guilt with the salve of forgiveness can be a long, tortuous journey, and sometimes it needs to be. Howe examines the three problems pastors face when attempting to heal guilt: judging prematurely, offering cheap grace, and being a doormat.

Odio Volume 1: !Bienvenido A Seattle, Buddy!
Bagge ( The Bradleys ) chronicles the misadventures, life experiences and repugnant habits of Buddy Bradley, oldest son of America's most dysfunctional suburban family. Buddy has managed to leave the clammy security of his family in New Jersey. Now he's living in Seattle, which Bagge portrays as the grunge capital of the U.S.; a place of cheap apartments, cheaper drugs and plenty of lowlife, with rocker deadbeats working in used bookstores and organizing bands. Buddy shares an apartment with his old friend Stinky and with George, a reclusive devotee of arcane religious, UFO and conspiracy theories, and probably the oddest black man ever to show up in a comic book. These stories satirize a special kind of low-budget lifestyle that, often as not, continues long past the twentysomething years into a cheerful, underachieving, bohemian middle age. Bagge's drawings have an abstract wackiness and comic flair all their own.
