Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Philip Caputo’s 10,000 Days of Thunder, written for young readers (grades 5 and up), explains the first stirrings of unrest in Vietnam to the intervention of the United States of America. Follow him to the battle of Hamburger Hill, to the Tet Offensive and to the fall of Saigon. Included are personal anecdotes from soldiers and civilians and photographs.
Philip Caputo served in the U.S. Marine Corps for three years, including a 16 months tour of duty in Vietnam. He has written 14 books, nonfiction and novel.
‘Omne vivum ex ovo’ – All life comes from egg – and Berkshires-based author Jennifer Trainer Thompson’s cookbook The Fresh Egg will give you a vast variety of recipes for using eggs from farmer’s markets, local farms and your own backyard. You will also find anecdotes, pictures and lots of advice on raising your own hens. Try Hot Sauce or Very Maple Syrup among quite a few other cookbooks of Jennifer Trainer Thompson’s.
Katherine Hall Page is the author of now 20 Faith Fairchild mysteries. Even though the series itself takes place after her marriage to Reverend Thomas Fairchild and her life in Massachusetts, this time, the amateur sleuth Faith turns back the clock to one of her most memorable days, her own wedding day. She needs to figure out who is trying to sabotage her wedding – by eliminating the bride.
