This novel of ideas describes change in the lives of a student, Jessie Adamson and her faculty, Dr. Sophie Green, as well as to their innovative graduate program. Moving through the program, Jessie overcomes obstacles and faces tragic life events to discover meaning and fulfillment. Sophie, facing retirement, reflects upon her long teaching career and mulls over the state of education in the United States. The program, designed to place students first in their own educational journeys and guided by committed, energetic but beleaguered faculty, is wrenched out of shape by self-serving administrators. While competing forces merge into a perfect storm of faculty conflict with administration, the program demonstrates its transformative power through the relationship between Jessie and Sophie, the power of their learning community, and the effects of the program's distinctive design on the lives of learners.

Wandering Potatoes

Wandering Potatoes focuses on life choices made by five women in an Irish-American family: Kate O’Neill, who in 1839, marries, against her father’s will, and emigrates to America; Brigid, daughter of Kate, who travels west in 1877 with her husband and children to witness the death of Crazy Horse; Eileen, Brigid’s daughter, who in 1900 leaves an Oregon convent after ten years as a nun; Helen, Eileen’s daughter, who sails in 1949 across an ocean with four children to join her husband; and Katie, daughter of Helen, who in 1969 turns her back on marriage to join political movements for civil and equal rights. Based on stories passed on from mother to daughter, this novel provides a people’s history of Irish famine and immigration, the Civil War, the Indian Wars, women roles at the turn of the century, the Korean War, global expansion, the women’s movement. Through these lives of adventurous women in one Irish-American family weave themes of oppression, discrimination, courage, compassion, integrity, the challenges of bridging differences and the contradictions of being both deprived and privileged, oppressed and oppressor, characteristic of American history.

Queen Bea

(Bea Chance is an exceptional woman, inventor and entrepre...)

Bea Chance is an exceptional woman, inventor and entrepreneur, with a thriving business, successful marriage and four grown children: Dick, her right-hand man; Bruce, a Vietnam veteran; Corey, her only daughter, and John, a disc jockey. A musician and pioneer in technology, she combined her musical and computer expertise to develop a system for musical composition and simultaneous recording and playback which she applied to the teaching of music in schools.When she decides suddenly to retire, partially in response to the death of her husband, her departure sends her family and her corporate, as well as corporeal, systems into chaos. This novel describes how she moves from being a woman with power to becoming a powerful, compassionate woman. Her personal transformation, in turn, has dynamic effects on her own mother, Mildred; her children; her co-worker and left-hand woman, Clare; and her friend Pearl.A reflection on gender and power, loss, metamorphosis and love, this novel explores issues of mothering, inheritance, and generation for modern women. An "oppositional narrative" based on Shakespeare's King Lear, Queen Bea explores what happens when the king becomes a queen and when an ancient tale is translated into a contemporary idiom."Blanchard's book is bound to become a classic for women's studies and contemporary literature courses alike because it grounds an engaging second wave feminist novel in explicating essays that both honor and explode the typical canon of options used."-Ida Kialutsi, artist and professor
