This is the memoir of Joan, who started nursing in the 1940s and whose experiences took her into the Yorkshire mining pits and through the tumult of the 1984-85 miners' strike. Joan Hart always knew what she wanted to do with her life. Born in South Yorkshire in 1932, she started her nursing training when she was 16, the youngest age girls could do so at the time. She continued working after she married and her work took her to London and Doncaster, caring for children and miners. When she took a job as a pit nurse in Doncaster in 1974, she found that in order to be accepted by the men under her care, she would have to become one of them. Most of the time rejecting a traditional nurse's uniform and donning a baggy miner's suit, pit boots, a hardhat and a headlamp, Joan resolved always to go down to injured miners and bring them out of the pit herself. Over 15 years Joan grew to know the miners not only as a nurse, but as a confidante and friend. She tended to injured miners underground, rescued men trapped in the pits, and provided support for them and their families during the bitter miners' strike which stretched from March 1984 to 1985. Moving and uplifting, this is a story of one woman's life, marriage and work; it is guaranteed to make readers laugh, cry, and smile.

These poems--ancient, immediate, serene, disgruntled, wickedly humorous, unsettlingly earnest--are also daring explorations of what love is. In the new millennium, with so much loss to mourn--and so much more still to lose--"Orphan" contemplates how "we make our griefs our tools." What Love Is "To forsake all others. To float the beloved on your back from flood to land, to wrench bread from the beggar's hand, snatch the oxygen mask from a child's face. To ransack hospitals and nursing homes for drugs to ease the beloved's pain, to stumble down 101 floors, beloved slung on your back, not stopping for the other ones in wheelchairs waiting at the landing doors." Jan Heller Levi's first collection of poems, "Once I Gazed at You in Wonder," won the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, and poems from her second collection, "Skyspeak," won The Emily Dickinson Award of the Poetry Society of America. She is editor of "A Muriel Rukeyser Reader," served as consulting editor for the new edition of "The Collected Poems of Muriel Rukeyser," and is currently writing the biography of Rukeyser. She lives in New York City with her husband, the Swiss novelist and playwright Christoph Keller, and teaches at Hunter College.

Eli is an ordinary boy with an extraordinary gift. It will shape the course of his whole life but, he learns the hard way, he must keep it hidden from those who know him best. Seeing death is a mixed blessing. Eli is not the only one defying the world's expectations of him. Cousin Francesca, a charming spinster and a favourite with the children, is harbouring kleptomaniac tendencies.
