The Fast Track-teens getting too much too soon
in these rapidly changing and uncertain times
and what parents can do to stay connected $16.95

In On The Fast Track--teens getting
too much too soon in these rapidly changing and
uncertain times and what parents can do to stay
connected, Kimberly Quinn Smith addresses the
issues that teenagers are presently dealing with
in relation to their world from middle school
through the college years. She offers strategies
to help parents understand their teens, and in
a sense to grow with them. Kimberly Quinn Smith
interviews current experts in the fields of gender
issues, social psychology, and clinical psychology,
as well as teens who are struggling with alcoholism
and drug addiction, depression, social disorders,
and homosexuality. She discusses the latest trend
of tattoos and body piercing, as well as the theory
on the new moral shades of gray or moral relativity.
She discusses adolescent anger, conflict resolution,
and the latest sexual epidemic sweeping our country,
the friends with benefits relationship. In On
The Fast Track, there is a large focus on attachment
issues and the apparent emotional disconnection
that appears to be so prevalent in our society
today.

A Full Moon
Rising and the Tao of Menopause $29.95

In "A Full Moon Rising . . . and the
Tao of Menopause", Kimberly Quinn Smith very
humorously tells the tale of entering into the new
stage of mid-life, while associating hormonal moments
with the lunar schedule and her symbolic metamorphosis
into a menopausal werewolf. Throughout her journey
she flashes back to her colorful 70's childhood,
where she grew up in the eclectic town of New Paltz,
New York, a small town just an hour outside of Manhattan.
She then brings us back through her early motherhood
years and lands us where she resides currently,
with a house full of teenagers. Throughout her tale,
she makes intermittent, contemplative reflections
on her halfway-ness and explores strategies of how
to learn to embrace the Principles of the Tao of
Menopause.
