The greatest possible good : a novel / by Brooks, Ben,1992-author.;

"Meet the Candlewicks. Seventeen-year-old Evangeline (a.k.a Dubbin), wants to change the world, has a penchant for throwing fake blood during protests, and despairs at the smug complacency of the rest of her family. Emil is fifteen, and a painfully shy math prodigy who has just begun dabbling in narcotics. Their mother, Yara, arrives at airports four hours early and fears that AI and climate change will leave her children unemployed and unable to go outside for longer than ten minutes. And, Arthur, the father, a hapless and always neutral man, who can't decide if he is a good person or a doormat-forgiving and understanding or weak and terrified. Their comfortable lives are thrown into disarray when Arthur walks out into the woods one night for a stroll in his calfskin slippers only to fall down an abandoned mineshaft. Disoriented and unable to move, he remains there for three days with only a bottle of mid-range Bordeaux, his son's confiscated stash of LSD, and his daughter's book on the concept of Effective Altruism for company. When he is rescued, he is a man transformed. Determined to give away all of his wealth and devote the rest of his life to the (statistically proven) most worthy causes, his metamorphosis shocks his family and triggers a chain of events that will have far-reaching and unforeseen consequences for them all. Equal parts hilarious and achingly human, The Greatest Possible Good spans ten years in the lives of the Candlewicks, asking universal questions about what it means to live a good life and if there is a "right" way to be a good person, while introducing the world to one of the most memorable and dysfunctional families in contemporary literature"--

"Hotly anticipated, and full of healthy twists on comfort food classics, Trisha's Table is bestselling cookbook author and country mega-star Trisha Yearwood's first cookbook since she slimmed down and debuted her wildly popular Food Network show, "Trisha's Southern Kitchen." Responding to an increased demand, Trisha shares how she has incorporated healthier cooking into her lifestyle without completely forgoing the induldgences she (and we all) love and crave. Trisha's Table includes a balance of healthy versions of comfort food along with a smattering of indulgences. Whether slimmed down or "original," Trisha's recipes, such as Black Bean Quinoa, Slow Cooker Georgia Pulled Pork BBQ, and Chicken Tortilla Casserole, are always delicious. Each of the more than 100 recipes will appeal to Trisha's huge southern fan base, while her fresh outlook on food and life (and her TV exposure) will also bring a new audience to this book"--Provided by publisher.

Heirloom rooms : soulful stories of home / by Napier, Erin,author.; Davis-Jefcoat, Brooke,photographer.;

"Our homes are more than an assemblage of bricks and glass, wood and nails. They are the keepers of our childhood memories, our milestones and heartaches. They live and breathe and evolve as we do. As a family grows and eventually retracts, a home can change hands and begin again. We are the chapters in the book of a house. They carry on after we are gone, setting the stage for another story, a new life, new memories. One of Erin's favorite houses was her grandmother's. As she got older, and bought a home of her own, and then a few more as she and her husband, Ben, launched a wildly successful business and television show, she realized she didn't have any photographs of the home, itself. She had plenty of memories, but no pictures. Not the beautiful photos that fill the design books, but the snapshots of the every day life that happened in each room. HEIRLOOM ROOMS sets out to change that. Alongside Erin's beautiful recollections and photography of each room in a house are stories and snapshots of her friend's lives, as they live them, in the houses they call home. Imperfect, real, a little messy, but happy and full of family, and of life, encouraging each reader to appreciate the home they have, and all the things it holds"--
