I found this book to be exceptional - captivating prose, engaging characters, and an intriguing plot.  It's a multiple-family saga that is part mystery, part astronomy lesson. I didn't want it to end.

This first work of nonfiction by Trigiani (author of the BIG STONE GAP series) is a wonderful and inspiring tribute to her wise and loving grandmothers. And about her own fiction, she writes, “I hope my reader is inspired to feel the possibilities of love and life through a story or finding, in the character's experience, a new way of looking at things.” And I have been so inspired.

Another hit from the author of JULIA'S CHOCOLATES. Full of brash, fun loving, and quirky characters with lots of snappy dialogue. Jeanne Stewart has a meltdown at a sales conference, quits her job, leaves Chicago for Oregon, gets arrested for “assault” charges involving an unfaithful ex-boyfriend, must attend Court mandated Anger Management classes, and that's just the beginning of all the fun!

Fascinating book – I had no idea
how much food was wasted.  Excellent pictures and graphs.  I'll think more carefully about food purchases and reducing disposal.

A great deal of “food” for thought!
