Some of my recent editing projects
  | Remember: My Stories of Survival and Beyond (Marcel Tuchman) The author recounts dramatic tales of his often brutal, always compelling personal experiences as a youth in Eastern Europe during the Holocaust and in its aftermath. The story carries us from the Przemysl ghetto and slave labor in the Auschwitz death camp to his experiences attending university in post-war Germany, filled with characters both good and evil, and some even heroic, all of whom played a role in his survival. These are tales that cannot be told often enough, as every voice in them adds a necessary thread to the fabric of one of history’s most horrific events. |
 | The Seeds of Spring: Lessons from the Garden (Steve Bates) The book intertwines practical, “how-to” gardening advice with deep insights as Steve recognizes the richness and simplicity of the outdoor life and the importance of sustainability for individuals and the planet, revealing the extraordinary in everyday activities amid the all-too-familiar setting of suburban sprawl. A must-read for every gardener and every would-be gardener who is looking for a better understanding of the gardening experience or deeper meaning in their life. |
 | Accidental Journey: An Owner’s Guide to a Broken Body (Gayle Andrew and Jess Kielman) Accidental Journey is both a memoir and a handbook for anyone who has survived trauma of any kind, for their families and friends, as well as for EMTs, doctors, nurses, and care-givers of all kinds. This book is for anyone who must, for any reason, take on the impossible. Not only is Gayle’s story a source of emotional support, it will lead the reader through the ins and outs of basic topics such as insurance, wheelchairs, pain, and post-traumatic-stress. |
