Judy in July: Mine and Canada's 100th Birthday is written as a memoir of 1967. Seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old's 12 diary entries, it is a 32-page picture book that deals with the celebrations of that year. It's also a topic that lends itself to an introduction of a basic history of Canada. Any child who was in school that year learned at least two things: that Canada first became a country on July 1st, 1867 and that Sir John A. Macdonald was Canada's first Prime Minister. "e;It's a year you'll always remember!"e; remarked Grandma Florence and undoubtedly, she was right. Set within the comfortable settings of school and family life, the reader will follow the authors family connections to learn how Canada was first discovered, what peoples settled it, and other information about Canada. Told from a child's viewpoint, it includes comments that adults might think, but only a child would make. Adults who lived through the era, might welcome the opportunity to share their memories with their own children and grandchildren. Designed as a flip-book, you can flip Judy in July to see in the right-hand margins, the Canadian flag waving, read the date of Canadian Confederation or see silhouettes of children marching. If flipped the opposite way, you can read in both languages the names of the provinces and territories as well as the dates they entered Confederation.

This is a story of hope and survival. Self-reliance and traditional family values help our family to stick together and outlive the flu pandemic crisis. In the process of overcoming this struggle, our family becomes stronger, as does American society. Throughout this life changing experience, there are elements of self reliance, fear, death of a loved one, courage, family conflict, self preservation, life's lessons, going back to the simple basics, and so much more. Although this book was written as fiction over two years ago, much of it has already come true. My hope is to create more public awareness and help people to prepare themselves and their families for the imminent calamity that one day each of us will likely have to face. On that dreadful day when the deadly contagious pandemic affects your our own family, we all will know in our hearts that we did not do enough to prepare for it, and if it just so happens that we do live through it, we will live out the rest of our lives burdened with the knowledge and the guilt of that unforgiving fact.

You'll get a first-hand look at the life of a woman doctor balancing career and family-exemplifying a 20th century phenomenon. Dr. Eikleberry's autobiography chronicles one mid-western, middle-class woman's life in a rapidly changing century for women. You'll learn what it was like to grow up on a farm in Missouri, to attend a one room school, to graduate high school at the end of WWII, and to compete against the college Greeks via an Independent Society. She started medical school as one of two women in a class of forty-four and subsequently lost peace and tranquility. Polio dominated her first private practice in Iowa. Soon she had four children and began life as a juggler, juxtaposing medical practice and family. She moved with her physician husband across the western United States; she experienced sexual harassment in her work for the military and derision from her fellow physicians as she cut costs for the Department of Public Assistance. Her medical practice ended in Colorado. Children now nearly grown, she and Bill embarked on a more recreational family project: the building of a log cabin in the remote Rocky Mountains. She tells the heart-wrenching story of losing their son to schizophrenia, a baffling and frightening mental illness. In conclusion, she takes you into a doctor's mind, illustrating how too much money was spent on health care when less would have done, pointing out the many shades of gray in medicine, and stressing the value of clinical judgment.
