Here’s some new nonfiction. Condoleezza Rice has written her memoir about Washington entitled “No Higher Honor” revealing her “reverence for the ideals on which America was founded.” Nancy Goldstein writes about the first African American woman cartoonist in “Jackie Ormes” (1911-1985) whose characters Torchy Brown, Candy, Patty-Jo and Ginger, and “Torchy Togs” paper dolls in the funny papers were controversial, addressing pressing issues of her times. "Fire Monks" by Colleen Busch reconstructs exactly what happened at Tassajara Zen Monastery during the fire of 2008, showing how Zen prepared the monks to meet the fire with calmness. Gillian Rose's "Love's Work" is a thoughtful work written by an English philosopher near d
eath, recalling her interesting life. "Gods, Gangsters & Honour" reports five decades in the music industry, filled with oversized egos, multi-million dollar pay-offs, scandalous behavior, and the realities behind the images the rock star gods like to portray, written by Steven Machat without fear to his reputation; many celebrities are involved. "Codependent No More Workbook" by Melody Beattie regards setting and enforcing healthy limits, learning empowering ways to give, experiencing genuine love and forgiveness, and letting go, becoming detached from others' harmful behaviors. Nigel Dunnett’s "Small Green Roofs" shows low-tech options for greener living especially using roof gardens of various kinds on buildings large and small. Written by Amy Aiello, and photographed by Kate Baldwin, "Terrarium Craft" helps us create 50 magical, miniature worlds that are beautiful and productive.
And for fiction, we offer a series continuation. In The Heaven on Earth novel by Ruth Reid called "The Promise of an Angel", a young woman believes she sees an angel helping her brother during an accident, and the plot centers around her struggle to convince her community to believe her.
