Learning in Mrs. Towne’s House
Available online and in your local bookstore, in paperback, for Nook, and for Kindle.
When author Tzivia Gover decided to leave the world of daily journalism to teach poetry to teen mothers in a small, struggling inner-city neighborhood in western Massachusetts, she couldn’t have felt more different from the urban, Puerto Rican students she came to teach on that first day of class. Nor could she have anticipated the lessons she would learn from and with them.
Learning in Mrs. Towne’s House: A Teacher, Her Students, and the Woman Who Inspired Them (Levellers Press, $18.95) is the story of Gover’s first years teaching at The Care Center, the students she met, and the tale she uncovered in their creative, colorful, and slightly chaotic school.
With her students, Gover learns that their school was once home to Elizabeth Towne (1865-1960), an early suffragist and leader of the New Thought movement (precursor of today’s New Age movement). By coincidence, Towne was herself a teen mother who left school at age fourteen to marry. Unhappy in her marriage, she divorced and set out on her own, supporting herself by publishing a magazine that went on to become the nation’s leading New Thought journal.
By turns humorous, informative, and moving, Learning in Mrs. Towne’s House tells of Gover’s experience as an idealistic poetry teacher who tries to capture the hearts of the teen mothers who are her students. Faced with the gritty reality of these young women’s lives, she seeks inspiration and refuge in Elizabeth Towne’s story.
The Other Mother
(Pen Name Nancy Abrams, University of Wisconsin Press)
On a spring day in 1993, Nancy Abrams helped her daughter dress for daycare, packed her lunch, and said goodbye. Next, she drove to court, where she learned that in the eyes of the law she was nothing more than “a biological stranger” to the child she helped bring into the world and raise. That was the last time she would see her daughter or hear her voice for five years.

Tzivia Gover’s whimsical, lyrical, and lilting poetic voice soothes all frenzy away as she masterfully, yet gently, tucks you into bed with wisdom about sleep and dreams.
