Preview Shelf: Notable New Books by CDPL Volunteer, Janice Clauser
Travel books to borrow begin with “Images of America: Dixie Highway in Indiana” by 
Russell Rein. Hoosier Carl Fisher inspired the existence of the north-to-south transcontinental automobile highway. It was a symbolically named route that would help unify the nation 50 years after the Civil War had ended, starting at Sault Ste Marie, MI and ending in Miami Beach, FL, with main routes through IN, OH, KE, and TN. Other new travel books are Frommer’s “Northern Italy,” “Virginia,” and “Chicago.”
Books about food are Missy Lapine’s “The Speedy Sneaky Chef” which has quick healthy fixes for packaged foods, and Angie Best-Boss’ “The Everything Parent’s Guide to Eating Disorders.” Best-Boss explains how to see warning signs and develop recovery plans for children.
Two new needlework notebooks are “Custom Crocheted Sweaters (that really fit)” by Dora Ohrenstein, and “The Best of Knit Along with Debbie Macomber,” 44 classic designs for family, gifts, and home.
On to requested novels. In David Baldacci’s “The Innocent,” a government hit man refuses to kill after a career of always obeying orders; next, he runs into a vast cover-up when trying to help a runaway. Five Amish novels ordered by readers include two by Jerry Eicher: “A Hope for Hannah” and “A Dream for Hannah.” “A Simple Spring” by Rosalind Lauer comes from the series Seasons of Lancaster. “The Keeper” is from the Stoney Ridge Seasons series by Suzanne Fisher, and “Her Restless Heart” is part of the Stitches in Time series by Barbara Cameron.
Robert Caro’s biography “The Passage of Power” is the fourth installment of his series, “The Years of Lyndon Johnson.” and follows the President through the most frustrating and triumphant periods of his career, 1958 to 1964. He traded being Senate majority leader for being Vice President. We see the Kennedy assassination through Johnson’s eyes and follow him in his finest hours during his War on Poverty. Jonathan Fenby’s “The General” is the first major work on Charles DeGaulle in fifteen years, bringing alive the private man as well as the public speaker who saved France twice. “Victor Cruz: Out of the Blue” is the Super Bowl-winning and record-breaking wide receiver’s own story, begun with the statement, “It may seem like I came out of the blue. But my road was long, windy, full of hurdles, and even some dead ends.” “Monkey
Mind” by Daniel Smith is a funny book in which the author articulates what it is like to live with anxiety. Rachel Cusk offers “Aftermath on Marriage and Separation,” about divorce’s tremendous impact on the lives of women.
