Please review before taking this medication. What Is Fluoxetine And What Does It Treat? Fluoxetine is an antidepressant medication that works in the brain. It is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, bulimia nervosa, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Symptoms of depression include: Depressed mood - feeling sad, empty, or tearful Feeling worthless, guilty, hopeless, and helpless Loss of interest or pleasure in your usual activities Sleep and eat more or less than usual (for most people it is less) Low energy, trouble concentrating, or thoughts of death (suicidal thinking) Psychomotor agitation ('nervous energy') Psychomotor retardation (feeling like you are moving and thinking in slow motion) Suicidal thoughts or behaviors Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) occurs when a person experiences the following symptoms at the same time: Obsessions (unwanted, recurrent, and disturbing thoughts) Compulsions (repetitive, ritualized behaviors that the person feels driven to perform in order to lessen the anxiety produced by the obsessions) Panic disorder occurs when a person experiences unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear. These episodes have physical symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, dizziness, and nausea. Fear of future episodes is also part of panic disorder. Bulimia is a condition where a person binges on food, then uses various methods to purge (e.g., use of laxatives, vomiting) in order to prevent weight gain. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a condition where a woman experiences depression, tension, and irritability for a few days prior to menstruation that end when menstruation begins. These symptoms are more severe than those of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Fluoxetine may also be helpful when prescribed "off-label" for body dysmorphic disorder, dysthymia, or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). "Off-label" means that it hasn't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for this condition. Your mental health provider should justify his or her thinking in recommending an "off-label" treatment. They should be clear about the limits of the research around that medication and if there are any other options. What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About Fluoxetine? Do not stop taking fluoxetine, even when you feel better. With input from you, your health care provider will assess how long you will need to take the medicine. Missing doses of fluoxetine may increase your risk for relapse in your symptoms. Stopping fluoxetine abruptly may result in one or more of the following withdrawal symptoms: irritability, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, nightmares, headache, and/or paresthesias (prickling, tingling sensation on the skin). Depression is also a part of bipolar illness. People with bipolar disorder who take antidepressants may be at risk for "switching" from depression into mania. Symptoms of mania include "high" or irritable mood, very high self-esteem, decreased need for sleep, pressure to keep talking, racing thoughts, being easily distracted, frequently involved in activities with a large risk for bad consequences (for example, excessive buying sprees). Medical attention should be sought if serotonin syndrome is suspected. Please refer to serious side effects for signs/symptoms. Are There Specific Concerns About Fluoxetine And Pregnancy? If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your healthcare provider to best manage your medications. People living with MDD who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. Untreated MDD has risks to the fetus, as well as the mother. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers. For women who take antidepressant medications during weeks 13 through the end of their pregnancy (second and third trimesters), there is a risk that the baby can be born before it is fully developed (before 37 weeks). For mothers who have taken SSRIs during their pregnancy, there appears to be less than a 1% chance of infants developing persistent pulmonary hypertension. This is a potentially fatal condition that is associated with use of the antidepressant in the second half of pregnancy. However, women who discontinued antidepressant therapy were five times more likely to have a depression relapse than those who continued their antidepressant. If you are pregnant, please discuss the risks and benefits of antidepressant use with your healthcare provider. Caution is advised with breastfeeding since fluoxetine does pass into breast milk. What Should I Discuss With My Healthcare Provider Before Taking Fluoxetine? Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself Medications you have taken in the past for your condition, whether they were effective or caused any adverse effects If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your provider. Some side effects may pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication. Any other psychiatric or medical problems you have, including a history of bipolar disorder All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products, herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have Other non-medication treatment you are receiving, such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment. Your provider can explain how these different treatments work with the medication. If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding If you drink alcohol or use drugs How Should I Take Fluoxetine? Fluoxetine is usually taken one time per day with or without food. Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks. The dose usually ranges from 20 mg to 80 mg when taken once daily or 90 mg taken once weekly. Only your healthcare provider can determine the correct dose for you. If you are taking fluoxetine for PMDD, it can be taken once daily (everyday) or intermittently (usually starting 14 days prior to menstruation through the first full day of menses of each cycle). Discuss this with your prescriber. The liquid should be measured with a dosing spoon or oral syringe which you can get from your pharmacy. The delayed release form should be swallowed whole. It should not be chewed, crushed, or broken. Consider using a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication. You may also ask a family member or friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication. What Happens If I Miss A Dose Of Fluoxetine? If you miss a dose of fluoxetine that you take daily, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. If you take fluoxetine once weekly, take it as soon as possible, then go back to your regular schedule the next week. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed. What Should I Avoid While Taking Fluoxetine? Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking antidepressant medications. They may decrease the benefits (e.g., worsen your condition) and increase adverse effects (e.g., sedation) of the medication. What Happens If I Overdose With Fluoxetine? If an overdose occurs, call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. A specific treatment to reverse the effects of fluoxetine does not exist. What Are Possible Side Effects Of Fluoxetine? Common side effects Headache, nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, increased sweating, feeling nervous, restless, fatigued, sleepy or having trouble sleeping (insomnia). These will often improve over the first week or two as you continue to take the medication. Sexual side effects, such as problems with orgasm or ejaculatory delay often do not diminish over time. Rare/serious side effects Low sodium blood levels (symptoms of low sodium levels may include headache, weakness, difficulty concentrating and remembering), teeth grinding, angle closure glaucoma (symptoms of angle closure glaucoma may include eye pain, changes in vision, swelling or redness in or around eye), Serotonin syndrome (symptoms may include shivering, diarrhea, confusion, severe muscle tightness, fever, seizures, and death), seizure, QT prolongation and ventricular arrhythmia including Torsades de Pointes (changes in the electrical activity of your heart; symptoms may include fast, slow or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, and dizziness or fainting) SSRI antidepressants including fluoxetine may increase the risk of bleeding events. Combined use of aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ibuprofen, naproxen), warfarin, and other anti-coagulants may increase this risk. This may include symptoms such as gums that bleed more easily, nose bleed, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Some cases have been life threatening. Are There Any Risks For Taking Fluoxetine For Long Periods Of Time? To date, there are no known problems associated with long term use of fluoxetine. It is a safe and effective medication when used as directed. What Other Medications May Interact With Fluoxetine? Fluoxetine should not be taken with or within 6 weeks of taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). These include phenelzine (Nardil®), tranylcypromine (Parnate®), isocarboxazid (Marplan®), rasagiline (Azilect®), and selegiline (Emsam®). Although rare, there is an increased risk of serotonin syndrome when fluoxetine is used with other medications that increase serotonin, such as other antidepressants, migraine medications called "triptans" (e.g., Imitrex®), some pain medications (e.g., tramadol (Ultram®), amphetamines, and the antibiotic linezolid (Zyvox®). Fluoxetine may increase the levels and effects of: Certain anticonvulsants, such as phenytoin (Dilantin®), carbamazepine (Tegretol®, Equetro®) Certain antipsychotics, such as haloperidol (Haldol®), aripiprazole (Abilify®) Benzodiazepines, such as alprazolam (Xanax®), diazepam (Valium®) Atomoxetine (Straterra®) Warfarin (Coumadin®) Tricyclic antidepressants, such as imipramine (Tofranil®), desipramine (Norpramin®) Beta blockers, such as metoprolol (Toprol XL®, Lopressor®) and propranolol (Inderal®) Fluoxetine may decrease the effects of tamoxifen (Nolvadex®) and codeine. Fluoxetine may increase the effects of other medications that can cause bleeding (e.g., ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®), warfarin (Coumadin®), and aspirin). How Long Does It Take For Fluoxetine To Work? Sleep, energy, or appetite may show some improvement within the first 1-2 weeks. Improvement in these physical symptoms can be an important early signal that the medication is working. Depressed mood and lack of interest in activities may need up to 6-8 weeks to fully improve. Summary Of FDA Black Box Warnings Suicidal thoughts or actions in children and adults Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), both adult and pediatric, may experience worsening of their depression and/or the emergence of suicidal ideation and behavior (suicidality) or unusual changes in behavior, whether or not they are taking antidepressant medications. This risk may persist until significant remission occurs. In short-term studies, antidepressants increased the risk of suicidality in children, adolescents, and young adults when compared to placebo. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24. Adults age 65 and older taking antidepressants have a decreased risk of suicidality. Patients, their families, and caregivers should be alert to the emergence of anxiety, restlessness, irritability, aggressiveness and insomnia. If these symptoms emerge, they should be reported to the patient's prescriber or healthcare professional. All patients being treated with antidepressants for any indication should watch for and notify their healthcare provider for worsening symptoms, suicidality and unusual changes in behavior, especially during the first few months of treatment.

Brand name: Epivir
Generic name: lamivudine, or 3TC
Class: Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nucleoside, NRTI, or nuke)
Manufacturer: ViiV Healthcare, www.viivhealthcare.com, (877) 844-8872
AWP: $498.90/month for 300 mg tablets; $429.66 for generic; $122.14/month for 240 mL solution (10 mg/mL)
Standard Dose: One 300 mg tablet once a day (or one 150 mg tablet twice daily), with or without food, with no dietary restrictions. Dose is lowered for people with kidney impairment. Dose for children 3 months to 16 years of age is 4 mg per 2.2 pounds twice daily to a maximum of 150 mg twice daily. A strawberry/banana-flavored liquid (10 mg/1 mL) is available. Take missed dose as soon as possible, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Do not double up on your next dose. Generic is available.
Potential side effects and toxicity: Very tolerable. Side effects (though rarely seen) may include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, fatigue, hair loss, insomnia, malaise (general ill feeling), nasal symptoms, and cough. See chart for potential drug class side effects.
Potential drug interactions: No significant drug interactions. Do not take Epivir with Atripla, Combivir, Complera, Emtriva, Epivir-HBV, Epzicom, Trizivir, or Truvada, since they contain Epivir or medication equivalent to Epivir.
More information: One benefit is that the drug resistance the virus develops against Epivir, the M184V mutation, makes the virus less fit to replicate and has even been shown to keep T-cells from dropping during a treatment interruption as much as they would have otherwise. The mutation also slightly improves the antiviral activity of Retrovir and Viread, and for that reason, some doctors keep Epivir onboard in combination with those drugs after M184V resistance develops. Epivir is also approved for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV), under the brand name Epivir-HBV, which has a lower dose than Epivir (Epivir-HBV is used only in people without HIV), but if you have HIV and HBV, you will need to take full-dose Epivir along with a complete regimen to treat HIV and HBV. If you have HIV and HBV and your hep B needs treatment but your HIV doesn't, you should be treated for both. You should never be treated only for HBV without treatment for HIV. Epivir and Viread both work against HBV and HIV and can be used together as the NRTI backbone to increase activity and avoid HBV resistance, but there are other HBV treatments available that can be combined with HIV meds. Make sure you are taking Epivir at HIV doses -- always ask your doctor or pharmacist. If you are co-infected with HIV and HBV and you stop Epivir, your HBV may reactivate and you may experience signs and symptoms of acute HBV. You should be closely monitored by your physician. If your HIV develops resistance to Epivir, it doesn't mean that your HBV is also resistant to it. Epivir is also available in three combination products: Combivir, with zidovudine, taken one tablet twice a day; Epzicom, with abacavir, taken one tablet once daily; and Trizivir with zidovudine and abacavir, taken one tablet twice a day. See package insert for more complete information on potential side effects and interactions.
Doctor's Comments
In the early '90s the approval of 3TC (Epivir) was a big shot in the arm to the tired nucleoside class. Adding it to other nucleoside analogs after they'd stopped working seemed to revive them for awhile, and if you started 3TC and AZT together, resistance was delayed. We later learned that the 3TC mutation, M184V, could delay the emergence of thymidine analog mutations (TAMs, the mutations in your virus that you got from taking AZT or d4T [stavudine]) or partially reverse the resistance that they caused. During the early years of the HAART era, 3TC became a component of virtually every antiretroviral regimen, and even today, most people taking either AZT or abacavir are also taking 3TC using a co-formulation. 3TC is extremely well tolerated and very safe with long-term use. Resistance to 3TC occurs quickly if the viral load isn't completely suppressed, and while there are some resistance advantages to having an M184V mutation, it's still better not to have it, allowing 3TC to retain its full antiviral activity.
-- Joel Gallant, M.D., M.P.H.
Activist's Comments
The earlier (and weaker) version of a nucleoside with a kick, this drug along with AZT made for a reduction in the number of pills and helped as a backbone for many combinations in the '90s. This drug still has a useful purpose, especially in financially limited settings as generics came to market, so it keeps its place on the list of drugs we can use to combat HIV.

Name Badges
We use them for the volunteers here and the volunteers are quite pleased.
We inserted class pictures and used them as name tags. No worry about putting pin holes in your dressy clothes!
I should be buying these in bulk!!!
I buy these name badge holders for our church members and we leave them at church on a magnetic board Love the fact that they don't have pins to stick into clothes....just a magnet The only problem is that the ink from the printed name tag sometimes transfers to the inside of the badge
Love these badges.
Our clients are so much happier with these magnetic badges because they don't have to put a hole in their clothes to wear it. Also, women tend to appreciate them more since so many of their clothes/styles can't work a regular badge without ruining the fabric. I do lose some of the backings and would like to be able to order just more magnetic backs. The magnet is very powerful but, when people go to remove the back part it sometimes falls in their shirts. We put ribbons on the badges and getting them off was a mess - we had to use WD40 to remove the sticky ribbon from the plastic and some of the badges are still marked from it - this was our fault and I'm just mentioning it in case anyone else wanted to do that. Still, we will continue to order these as they work so well for our classes and clients.
Best I've found
Use these during physical activities outdoors, the magnetic backing holds strong in rain or sun.
I will buy this product again
Name tags for special events. It is easily worn even if the weared has on an outfit will no place to clip it to. The magnets make it very user friendly.
Perfect just what I needed & Great price
Quick delivery and the badges are sturdy and nice
My employees really like this product.
Perfect for name tags for VIPs at a conference.
Great Product!
church nametags
Great product
I use this product for special events The mangnet that holds the name badge on makes it easier to put on leaving no holes in the wearer's attire. It also stays in place, unlike adhesive name badges. The magnet is almost too good and some of our wearers find it difficult to remove.

Suppose I want to describe an arbitrary state of a quantum particle in a box of side $L$. The relevant eigenmodes are those of standing waves, namely $$ \left<x|n\right>=\sqrt{\frac{2}{L}}\cdot \sin \left(\frac{n\pi x}{L}\right)$$ In this basis, the operate $\hat{p}^2$ is diagonal by construction, so every state has a definite energy.
But suppose I want to construct this operator from the matrix elements of $\hat{p}$? These are ($\hbar=1$) $$\left<m|\hat{p}|n \right>=-\frac{2imn((-1)^{m+n}-1)}{L\cdot(m^2-n^2)}$$ which vanishes for $m$ and $n$ with the same evenness, making this an off-diagonal "checkered" matrix.
I tried taking a finite portion of this matrix and squaring it in order to obtain $\hat{p}^2$, but from what I could tell, this yields an on-diagonal checkered matrix, contrary to the construction that it would be strictly diagonal.
I assume this has something to do with the fact that the wavefunctions obtained by applying $\hat{p}$ do not satisfy the same boundary conditions as the basis functions (do not vanish). Would this problem be solved I had taken the the infinite matrix in its entirety before squaring? Or is this entire problem (decomposing $\hat{p}$ in this basis) ill-defined?

by Sandra Olivetti Martin, Bay Weekly Editor, with Terri Boddorff and Cameron Caswell, Anne Arundel County Public Library; Beverly Izzy and Robbie McGaughran, Calvert County Public Library
People from Africa and from Europe have been neighbors for many centuries in Chesapeake Country.
Yet for most of our shared time, black and white communities have existed in parallel universes, divided by the harsh economy of race.
From settlement to the end of slavery in the 19th century, half a million slaves were imported to North America.
Paging Through
By 1770, 80,000 Africans worked in tobacco colonies. Maryland was the second largest slaveholding colony. By 1790, 101,264 of Maryland's 319,728 people were slaves, approaching today's black-white demographic breakdown. In Anne Arundel, 10,130 of 22,598 people were slaves.
They got the worst and least of everything, and their stories have been the last told. Black History Month encourages restitution on one of those scores.
This year, we update you on books featuring African American Marylanders, heading our list with a brand new book set in Southern Anne Arundel County. Passing Through Shady Side joins African-Americans of Calvert County in enriching our knowledge of Chesapeake Country. From Slave Ship to Harvard, beginning in Annapolis, adds the depth of a sixth generational look at one family.
You'll find introductions to those books and more this week.
You can see the terrain of which the authors write in county-by-county maps produced by the African American Department of the Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore.
To guide you to more books on African American life in Anne Arundel and Calvert County, public librarians have searched their shelves and catalogues. You'll find their lists here, too.
Passing Through Shady Side
"Three types of people have passed through Shady Side," writes Anne Widdifield. The retired school teacher and Annapolis tour guide is of the third type: "those who visited and returned to live." A fascinated latecomer, Widdifield dedicated four years to documenting the passing through of the first type, "those born here who never left."
She chose her black neighbors and their ancestors "to balance the story because that's what was lacking," she said. "The books done so far told about whites like Miss Ethel Andrews and her family's hotel. I learned that there were black boarding houses too, and black people coming down [from Baltimore] on the steamship Emma Giles, though they had to stay outside."
That's one of a thousand insults and injuries Widdifield chronicles in universes that were separate but far from equal from settlement through the late 20th century.
Yet Shady Side, she tells us, has been "probably one of the better places for blacks to live." Free families flourished, owned property, made a living off the land and water, gathered in strong churches and, in time, went to school and got jobs beyond day work.
As did Eliza 'Miss Doll Baby' Dennis at the urgings of a local pastor: "You're educated; you're a high school graduate. You should be doing more than day work. You should get another job," he told her. And she did.
Miss Doll Baby joined Buddy Holland and Chuck Gross plus members of four extended families — the Nicks, Crowner, Matthews and Thompsons — in telling their story to Widdifield. A double outsider — white and from Indiana by way of Virginia — Widdifield succeeded through curiosity, constancy and connections.
Her journey through the history of her adopted community began in the archives of Captain Avery Museum, founded as the Shady Side Rural Heritage Society in the mid-1980s by newcomers who recorded and collected the lives and artifacts of Shady Siders. Hearing those stories, many as videotaped interviews, made Widdifield hungry for more.
St. Matthew's United Methodist Church — a black church that stands alongside Shady Side's white United Methodist church — took her in, and she remains a member of its congregation.
Then, too, she was everywhere.
"I'm a speed walker," she says, "and I'd start out on my walk and I'd see somebody and talk. But then I'm like that. I'm a talker."
Half the book's 20 chapters are the stories of people, told in the loose, conversational style Widdifield heard them.
Nine more describe institutions. Schools, boarding houses and post offices, stores and businesses, neighborhoods and churches, athletics and recreation take shape through the words of people whose lives they touched.
To add the context out of which their families grew, Widdifield read local and state archives.
Watermen are so much a part of Shady Side that they earn their own chapter. Hogs must have been pretty important, too, as one of the chapters is devoted to Hog Stories.
Widdifield writes a nice style and has done her subjects, book and readers the favor of working with an editor, neighbor Jackie Fox Ibrahim. Alas, there is no index to guide us to people and places.
You meet hundreds of people, hear scores of good stories, see dozens of photos and gather a store of facts. You learn that Shady Side was too marshy to grow tobacco, but tomatoes loved the Great Swamp and canneries followed. That Babe Ruth slept in Shady Side and went fishing. And that in one society, that of the watermen "everything was equal."
Mapping Our African American Experience
Mapping the African American Experience in Maryland shows community development in each of Maryland's counties. The maps for Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties illustrate buildings, sites and historic districts. Both are derived from the Maryland Historical Trust's Historic Sites Survey. The Calvert County Historical Society also contributed to that county map.
If you want to meet your neighbors, Passing Through Shady Side is worth your time.
Meet Widdifleld, buy your copy and get it signed at St. Matthews United Methodist Church, Shady Side, on March 9 from 2-4pm. rsvp: 410-867-4486. Book sales benefit the Captain Avery Museum.
African-Americans of Calvert County
Like Shady Side, Calvert County developed through the centuries as parallel black and white communities. Its black population — which has dropped from 62.4 percent in 1850 to 13 percent — rose from slavery, achieved freedom —through manumission, purchase or emancipation — worked the land, the water and in service, bought property and founded churches and schools, living full if hard and largely unstoried lives.
In modern times, Calvert's African Americans found a willing listener in Billy Poe, a white D.C. kid newly moved to the country.
"Our house was in between the homes of two African American farmers," Poe told Margaret Tearman for Bay Weekly. "I would sit for hours and hours, listening to their stories."
Listening became a way of life for Poe. Oral historian, essayist, photographer and poet, he continues the circle of stories with books, documentaries in photo and film, public presentations and a foundation, I Am Somebody, to give scholarships to the children of farmers who had to give up school for work.
"I learned much as I made my way through the roads of Calvert County, knocking on doors and asking for interviews," Poe writes in the introduction to his 2008 book, African-Americans of Calvert County. "I am always greeted with colorblind eyes and made to feel welcome. … This is a community of family whether by blood, marriage or friendship."
Community is Poe's subject in African-Americans of Calvert County. From people's recollections, historic photos, newspaper clippings and archival records, he has pieced together a history of the whole community in four broad chapters: Servicemen, Matrimony, Education and the Community.
The 128-page book has the immediacy of a well-annotated family scrapbook. Its historic photos capture life as it was lived in fleeting, vivid moments. Poe's annotations based on hundreds of hours of interviews fill in the context.
Meet Poe at Calvert Library Prince Frederick on March 9 from 2:30 to 4pm. See his photos of African Americans in Calvert on display at Calvert Library Prince Frederick through March 9.
From Slave Ship to Harvard
James Johnson's From Slave Ship to Harvard is a captivating, true narrative of six generations of an African American family that begins with Yarrow Mamout, a Muslim from West Africa who was brought to the docks in Annapolis in 1752 as a slave and gained his freedom 44 years later.
In contrast to the void of documentation during this period of American history, Yarrow was so well known in his time and community, Georgetown of Washington, D.C., that he was painted by Charles Willson Peale. You'll see the 1819 portrait — housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art — that immortalized him on the cover of Johnson's book.
Johnson, a second-career writer and D.C. lawyer, was drawn by the character and into the story still another portrait. Out of painstaking genealogical digging through interviews, wills, inventories, deeds, photographs and other historical artifacts, he has constructed a fascinating family saga. The story weaves its way through 175 years of history and many notable geographic areas and people of Maryland and Washington, D.C. Its culmination is the 1927 graduation from Harvard of Robert Turner Ford, whose lineage is traced to Yarrow through his wife's family.
Johnston has admirably sought to connect the dots of the family's history while also providing parallels to the larger story of slavery and emancipation in colonial America. His 2012 book stands apart for giving readers the depth and unity of a family story of rising fortunes in its 310 pages with 25 black and white illustrations.
Meet Johnson at the Annapolis Book Festival on April 13 at Key School, Annapolis.
