A collection of fifteen stories, Jean McGarry’s No Harm Done, depicts family life at its worst, best, and funniest, as if the author had conjoined the lunacy of Cold Comfort Farm with the bitter grievances of Dubliners. As the author writes in “Strong Boy,” this might be “…because every family, rich or poor, is roughage.” The characters, gallant, goofy, gifted, and grim, include sickly mothers of a dozen children, boozy fathers with a gift of the gab, kids aspiring to be nuns and priests, or just to get out of town with a whole skin. A section is devoted to one marriage made in heaven: a Jewish psychoanalyst devoted to his ex-nun wife. Another set of stories reworks familiar fairy tales, setting them in the wild present. No Harm Done (whose title is Irish code for wishful thinking) concludes with a truce to the war between the sexes, and indeed a `solution’ to the tragicomedy that is marriage and family.

Discover your personality type according to Traditional Chinese Medicine to find tailored solutions to all your problems - from nutrition to spirituality. The ancient Chinese discovered a secret that remains little-known in the West to this day: the map of how your life is meant to work. And just like an acupuncturist treats energy points in the body for overall healing, this book will show you how to make small changes in your everyday activities to heal your life. Based on the traditional wisdom of the Chinese Five Elements - Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal - the personality quizzes and step-by-step guidance within this book will allow you to discover how to regain balance. Drawing from over 30 years of experience, Jean Haner offers specific strategies from the spiritual side of Chinese medicine - ranging from changes to your clothing, incorporating feng shui in your home, and advice on daily schedule and select activities. She provides remedies for any problem at three different levels - quick-fix, prescription and a five-week 'reboot' plan - to get your entire life flowing again.

What if you could tell, just by looking at others, how they tend to think, feel, and behave? What if your partner's face revealed the best way to resolve any conflicts between you? And what if you could discover in your own face the wisdom that you need in order to be the best you that you can be? Based on the same ancient foundation as acupuncture and Chinese medicine, face reading has been in the "research and development" phase for over 3,000 years. When translated to make it meaningful for our Western lives, it's a powerful source of wisdom that we can all access. Chinese face reading shows you how to live your life in alignment with your own natural flow, find the life path that gives you joy, attract relationships that nurture you, and most of all, enable you to feel compassion for yourself and others. This book will forever change how you see yourself . . . and all the people in your life!
