Bits about Home Matters
Helen Hunt Jackson
Corporal punishment, needless denials, plain rudeness: Helen Hunt Jackson called these the inhumanities of parents, and said so in print in 1873. Her household essays defend children's dignity against will-breaking and the trials of the awkward age, decades ahead of their time. The author of Ramona at her most quietly fierce. Parenting advice with a conscience, and a sting.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
