Romaanin tapahtumat sijoittuvat vime vuosisadan alkupuoliskolle (1909-1953), suomalaiseen maaseutukylään. Parikymppinen Kytölän Marta rakastuu naapurikylän poikaan, erinomaiseen polkan tanssijaan ja ison talon tulevaan isäntään. Juuri kihlauksen kynnyksellä asiat sotkeutuvat täysin ja heilastelu loppuu. Martta nimeää seurustelun päättymiselle syyllisen ja katkeroituu, mikä saa kylän muut pojat pysyttelemään Martasta kaukana. Kotitalo pilkotaan ja voimakastahtoinen Martta ottaa Kytölässä isännyyden ja emännyyden. Eetu-veljen taloon tuoma Iines-vaimokin joutuu alistumaan Martan määräysvaltaan. Martan pankkilainalla hankkimat ravihevoset ja yleismaailmallinen lama vievät Kytölän pakkohuutokauppaan ja asukkaat joutuvat omalle tilalleen vuokralaisiksi. Martan tarinan rinnalla kulkee Mikon ja Helmin tarina. Martan rippikouluikäinen veljentytär Helmi rakastuu itseään huomattavasti vanhempaan Mikkoon. Mies on kylän kunnollisimpia, mutta Martta yrittää kaikella kekseliäisyydellään estää seurustelun, omista syistään. Lopulta kuitenkin ilmenee, että on olemassa Kytölän Marttaakin suurempi voima: rakkaus!

Heinolaan sijoittuva rikosromaani. Sodan jälkeen "suuriin ikäluokkiin" syntyneet serkukset Valto ja Ossi ihmettelevät vanhempiensa puhumattomuutta ja salaperäisyyttä ennen sotia tapahtuneista asioista. Sukupolvien yli jatkunutta sukuvihaa pojat joutuvat itsekin kokemaan monimuotoisina kiusantekoina arvaamattomin seurauksin. Valton ja Ossin oman aktiivisuuden ansiosta salaperäisyyden verho alkaa vähitellen raottua, mutta Valton osalta asiat valkenevat lopullisesti vasta kymmenien vuosien kuluttua, monien traagisten menetysten jälkeen. Romaani on myös kertomus eri yhteiskuntaluokkiin kuuluvien Valton ja Ossin kaveruudesta, lapsuuden kesien riemuista, sekä nuoruuden tanssilavojen kultaisista ajoista.

"Polka Heartland" captures the beat that pulses in the heart of Midwestern culture--the polka--and offers up the fascinating history of how "oompah-pah" came to be the sound of middle America. From the crowded dance tent at Pulaski Polka Days to an off-the-grid Mexican polka dance in small-town Wisconsin, "Polka Heartland" explores the people, places, and history behind the Midwest's favorite music. From polka's surprising origin story as a cutting-edge European fad to an exploration of the modern-day polka scene, author Rick March and photographer Dick Blau take readers on a joyful romp through this beloved, unique, and richly storied genre. "Polka Heartland" describes the artists, venues, instruments, and music-makers who have been pivotal to polka's popularity across the Midwest and offers six full-color photo galleries to immerse readers in today's vibrant polka scene.

Author Keith Maillard received critical acclaim with his novel Gloria, which told the story of a young woman on the cusp of womanhood in a town called Raysburg, West Virginia. In The Clarinet Polka, Maillard turns that same eagle-eyed attention to the other side of the tracks of that very same town and creates a stunning portrait of Polish America and of one man’s struggle to find meaning in his life and roots. The year is 1969, and young Jimmy Koprowski returns from his stint in the airforce to Raysburg, his blue-collar Polish American hometown where nothing much happens beyond working at the steel mill, going to Mass, and getting drunk at the local PAC. Jimmy’s efforts at rebuilding his life result in sleeping off hangovers in his parents’ attic and drifting into a destructive affair with a married woman. But things change when his younger sister Linda decides to start an all-girl polka band, and Jimmy falls for the band’s star clarinetist, Janice, whose young life is haunted by tragic events that happened before she was born. The threads of Jimmy’s family life, the legacy of WWII Poland, and the healing power of music, language, and tradition all begin to converge. At once gritty and compassionate, moving and witty, The Clarinet Polka showcases the emotional and perfectly pitched voice of a lost soul finding his way.

Advance praise for The Clarinet Polka "Deeply and authentically rooted in Polish-American culture, The Clarinet Polka also brilliantly resonates into the universal human condition. Keith Maillard has created a fictional landscape in and around Raysburg, West Virginia, that brims with life as we all live it. This is a remarkable novel from an important writer."(Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain) "Great novels immerse their readers into a world previously unknown and by that test alone, this is a great novel. A West Virginia Polish community is the setting for this touching story, a place where dreamers, misfits, lost souls, saints, and sinners all dance to the rhythm of the joyful polka which will, given time, heal all their wounds. I promise these are people you will never forget and will be glad you got to know."(Homer H. Hickam, Jr., bestselling author of Rocket Boys) "Encore! I'll play over and again in my mind this hard-edged, sweet-souled story of a heart's homecoming."(Suzanne Strempek Shea, author of Songs From a Lead-Lined Room and Hoopi Shoopi Donna) Praise for Gloria "Keith Maillard gets the details right . . . succeeds in building a gilded, crinoline-draped labyrinth and watching his lithe, artful protagonist wiggle and reason her way to freedom."(New York Times Book Review) "A mesmerizing story . . . succeeds in prompting reflection on the nature of authenticity in a culture that easily surrenders to stereotypes and sound bites."(Boston Sunday Globe) "Beautifully detailed . . . enormously entertaining."(Marie Claire) "Recalls Balzac or George Eliot. . . . Meticulously observed, immensely satisfying." (Kirkus Reviews (starred review)) "A merciless and accurate picture of the power grid of American class and gender at mid-century, a meditation on the nature of human consciousness and creativity, an investigation into the horrors and delights of emergent sexuality, an homage to the powers of friendship between women. . . . This is a book that delivers profound pleasures of the body, the mind, and the spirit."(Vancouver Sun)

Unruh applies the concept of the social world to the understanding of the social integration of older people. Social worlds are shared sets of perceptions, of which membership is very informal. The social life of older people in the art world, for example, often goes unseen by social workers and researchers. Unruh systematically explores the uses made by older people of social worlds and considers how the helping professions can use the concept to help older clients. Based on interviews with 40 older people, the book maintains a human and practical perspective while considering theoretical and research issues for gerontologists. It is the first systematic review of its subject.
