From Hardship to Hope invites us to walk into the complexities of two women's parallel universes. It is a fictionalized, shared autobiography. Some of the moments and experiences come from the authors' lives. Some do not. Ruby Blue, a pregnant, homeless, Black teen is temporarily housed with Zoe, a White, olding widow, as Covid-19 disrupts their lives.Their daily pace slows and after a stormy start, Zoe and Ruby Blue begin to build trust, sharing increasingly insightful life experiences as they stay together. Zoe knows her world through books and travel. Ruby Blue knows her world through life on the streets.At the same time, the pandemic clouds the pace of life, the Black Lives Matter movement roils out of the unrest and the inequalities-laid bare by Covid-19-showcasing differences in job prospects, educational possibilities, housing opportunities, health care access, and societal transformation. Together, the women struggle with these realities.Over time, Zoe and Ruby Blue share their defining stories. And some secrets. They talk about family differences in favorite foods, hair styles, skin care, and history. (The women have the same last name, with different spellings.) Then, carefully, yet often bluntly, they compassionately move to discussing tough topics, each from her own background. Race. Age. Gender. Poverty. Healthcare. Pregnancy. Adoption. Protesting. Policing. Incarceration. Death. Trust. Love.

The West Allis Fire Department began in 1906 as an industrial fire brigade, protecting the residents and flourishing businesses of a growing young city. This group of volunteers were called into service by a series of blasts from the Allis Chalmers whistle. Today, the department is a modern, technologically equipped workforce capable of handling any emergency, from a simple room and contents fire to serious medical emergencies, hazardous materials incidents, and even deep tunnel rescue alarms."The First 100 Years" is a celebration of the dynamic development of the fire department as an element of a city system that is in the midst of drastic redevelopment. Nealy five hundred men and women have worked to help the fire department keep our community safe.This book was written to document the history of the West Allis Fire Department's first century. It highlights the many achievements of our members in the context of the support of our community.Unless otherwise noted, all photos in the book are from the historical archives of the West Allis Fire Department or are from the author's private collection.

Often, when adults encounter children's literature, they tend to think about simplicity, fictional reality, naivit'e, and elementalism, as in "Elementary, Watson, elementary," Sherlock Holmes to his disciple, Dr. Watson. The very last things that cross the minds of skeptical adults are complexity, intricacy, shrewdly wrought devices, and praiseworthy sophistication. Children's literature is not elementary at all. Not Hebrew children's literature, or any kind of children's literature, in fact. What you see is not what you get. You get much, much more. The observations, literary techniques, and aesthetic artistry traced in this book through Hebrew children's literature "piously" echo any kind of children's literature in any language. The major critical proclivity both exhibited and probed in this book is the way anticipated simplicity is eclipsed by well-sculpted complexity.The text of children's literature consists of two layers: the upper, surface layer and the cryptic, underlying layer. Under the upper "epidermic" layer of the text, one that radiates simplicity and elementalism, there is a hidden, concealed, cryptic layer that contests the upper layer. It proves that the very essence of the text is desirably intricate and that the upper layer is indeed an artistic channel that unearths the "real" text that consists of the literary mechanism to delivery the text's message (educational, moral, ethical, etc.) in concealed sophistication.
