Every Summer After (eBook, ePUB)

Five summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right. A magazine writer has to make a choice when she returns to the lake she grew up on, and to the man she thought she'd never have to live without, in this achingly nostalgic debut. They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser that has felt too true for the last decade, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until the day she gets a call that sends her racing back to Barry's Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek. For five summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family restaurant and curling up together with books-medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her-Percy and Sam had been inseparable. And slowly that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. When Percy returns to the lake to attend Sam's mother's funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. Percy must confront the decisions she's made and the years she's spent punishing herself for them, in order to determine, once and for all, whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. Told over the course of five years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Back to the Farm, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min

In this hour, writer Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food) tells Steve Paulson that a lot of what's on supermarket shelves isn't food and that Americans have many options if they want to improve the quality of their diet. He recommends going organic, shopping at farmer's markets and using CSA's. He says healthy food may cost more up front, but it all evens out when you factor in the health care costs of eating junk. Next, we visit the Dane County Farmer's Market, just a few blocks from our studios, and hear from the farmers who sell their crops there. And Brad Kessler was a writer in New York City. He's still a writer, but now he lives on 75 acres in Vermont with a small herd of goats. His book Goat Song: A Seasonal Life, A short History of Herding, and the Art of Making Cheese talks about what it's like to live with the animals that feed you. Kessler tells Jim Fleming about his life, his goats, and making chevre. Then, we hear a bit more from the farmers of the Dane County Farmer's Market about what they've brought to market today. Also, writer and cartoonist Lynda Barry (Ernie Pook's Comeek) is an outspoken left-wing intellectual with an urban sensibility who now lives off the grid in rural Wisconsin. She tells Steve Paulson how that happened. Barry's latest graphic novel is called What It Is. And finally, writer Michael Perry is the author of Truck: A Love Story" and "Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs and Parenting. He talks with Anne Strainchamps about his life combining writing with the new "back to the land" movement, and how he reconciles aspects of animal husbandry like butchering with raising his small daughters.

An Irish Country Courtship , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 827min

Welcome to the colorful Ulster village of Ballybucklebo, where two doctors work hand in hand to mend the bodies and spirits of the town's diverse and engaging inhabitants. But who is looking after the wounded hearts of the doctors? After less than a year, young Barry Laverty, M.B., is settling in to the village, with only a few months to go before he becomes a full partner in the practice. He's looking forward to becoming a fixture in the community, until an unexpected romantic reversal gives him second thoughts. Will he truly be happy tending to routine coughs and colds for the rest of his career? After all, even when a more challenging case comes along, like a rare tropical disease, all he can do is pass it on to a qualified specialist or big-city hospital. As much as Barry enjoys the rough and tumble of life in County Down, is running a humble GP's shop all he wants out of life? Barry's mentor, Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly, is going through some personal upheavals as well. After mourning his deceased wife for decades, he's finally allowed a new woman into his life. But this budding courtship is not going over well with Kinky Kincaid, the doctors' redoubtable housekeeper, who fears having her position usurped by O'Reilly's new flame. Tact, diplomacy, and a fair amount of blarney may be required to restore peace to the household. Meanwhile, life goes on in Ballybucklebo, presenting both doctors with plenty of distractions from their own troubles. From a mysterious outbreak at the local school to a complicated swindle involving an unlucky racehorse, the two partners will need all of their combined wit and compassion to put things right again - just in time for their lives to change forever. ungekürzt.
