Pamela Pankhurst is a beleaguered creative writing professor at Sanford Liberal Arts College (SLAC, home of the Slackers) when the pandemic hits, her campus shuts down, and a passive-aggressive new administration with draconian policies takes over. As her coworkers lose their will to live and the institution careens toward catastrophe, Pamela bands with two colleagues to investigate: who are these administrators who make nonsensical demands and seem to harbor vendettas against everyone? Pamela and her intrepid workmates risk their careers and their sanity as they seek to rescue their campus from dehumanization and certain ruin.

Even before Nancy McCabe and her daughter, Sophie, left for China, it was clear that, as the mother of an adopted child from China, McCabe would be seeing the country as a tourist while her daughter was "going home". Part travelogue, part memoir, Crossing the Blue Willow Bridge immerses readers in an absorbing and intimate exploration of place and its influence on the meaning of family.

This is the story of Nancy's McCabe's adoption of a daughter and the many obstacles she faced during the adoption and adjustment process. Especially poignant is her struggle to bond with a sick, grieving baby while in a foreign country during political unrest.
