​Christa Meiners-DeTroy wrote the stories contained in Remembering...Years of Hiding Behind Silence over the past fourteen years. Yet, her story starts in 1947 when she moved to Brunswick to be a part of the Bowdoin community that surrounded her husband and other World War II military veterans working on their degrees using the GI Bill educational benefits. In the U.S., Christa marched for civil rights, for peace and for justice. Growing up in Hitler’s Germany she knew what it was to be hampered by a government full of injustice and cruelty. Here in her adopted country, Meiners-DeTroy blossomed and reared her seven children to be independent thinkers in the vein of their maternal grandmother. In 2001 during her commencement speech at Bowdoin College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in German studies at seventy-two, Meiners-DeTroy urged her fellow graduates to “contribute your learning and who you are to achieve equality and justice among your neighbors and people everywhere.” Meiners-DeTroy has done just that her entire adult life. Read this special collection of her memories.

What our Customers say

Nancy E. Randolph, JWB owner, markets my titles on a wide scale. She also sets up book signings. I find it infinitely more enjoyable and rewarding to work with this Maine-based publisher than to deal with national publishers from out-of-state.
Finally, JWB does not publish just any aspiring author. Randolph is very selective, accepting only material that she is convinced will sell. I highly recommend JWB to any author. 
Tom Seymour, author of Wild Plants of Maine and many other titles.
I just had these decals made [with my logo]. Every day I look at the logo you created from my drawn ideas, I smile. It is strong and me. Thank you.
