			<description><![CDATA[Dear Abby: Thank you for your response to "Alarmed in Apple Valley" (Aug. 28), who was concerned because her teenage nephew shows so much affection toward his mother. I raised a very affectionate son who, to this day at age 30, hugs and kisses me no matter where we meet. I raised him with the principle that because he is male does not mean he has to hide his feelings as generations before him did. My daughter-in-law tells me often that she could not ask for a better husband and father to her children. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA['29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life'<br>
By Cami Walker, 224 pages, $19.95<br>
Just a month after her wedding, 31-year-old Cami Walker was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis; two years later, she was bitter, isolated, and addicted to both pain medication and self-pity. In need of help beyond drug detox, she takes the advice of a South African healer: give away something every day, for 29 days. Walker soon learns that being mindful of giving also means being open to gifts from others, and that gratefulness and mutual generosity is the key to a better, more rewarding life. Glimpses into Walker's day-to-day difficulties-work, family life, constant therapeutic treatment and addiction recovery among them-crop up among the stories of her daily gifts, grounding the work in personal details. But the meat, an admirable reworking of The Secret, speaks largely to those already initiated into the cult of positivity.]]></description>
