Crime and cherry pits / by Flower, Amanda,author.;
"Shiloh Bellamy can hardly believe it--for the first time in her family farm's seventy-year history, she has managed to score a highly coveted booth at the Cherry Farm Market in Traverse City, Michigan. It's a huge win in her master plan to bring the run-down farm back to life ... and the fact that her coup has sent her next-door neighbor and organic farming competitor into fits of jealousy doesn't hurt either. But the festive atmosphere at the farm market takes a dark turn when a man entered in the famous cherry pit-spitting competition chokes and dies. When the death turns out to be more suspicious than a cherry pit down the wrong pipe, Shiloh finds herself under local law enforcement's microscope. And when they discover her cousin Stacey had been secretly dating the man in question--and that he was married to someone else--Shiloh begins to worry that everything she has worked so hard to accomplish with her family's farm is about to be taken away. It will take all her investigative skills, a tenuous friendship (or is it something more?) with the local sheriff, and some help from Shiloh's trusty pug, Huckleberry, to prove the cops are barking up the wrong cherry tree and put the real killer behind bars for good"--

Omega farm : a memoir / by McPhee, Martha,author.;
"A long-awaited memoir from an award-winning novelist -- a candid, riveting account of her complicated, bohemian childhood and her return home to care for her ailing mother. In March 2020, Martha McPhee, her husband, and their two almost-grown children set out for her childhood home in New Jersey, where she finds herself grappling simultaneously with a mother slipping into severe dementia and a house that's been neglected of late. As Martha works to manage her mother's care and the sprawling, ramshackle property -- a broken septic system, invasive bamboo, dying ash trees -- she is pulled back into her childhood, almost against her will. Martha grew up at Omega Farm with her four sisters, five stepsiblings, mother, and stepfather, in a house filled with art, people, and the kind of chaos that was sometimes benevolent, sometimes more sinister. Caring for her mother and her children, struggling to mend the forest, the past relentlessly asserts itself -- even as Martha's mother, the person she might share her memories with or even try to hold to account, no longer knows who Martha is. A masterful exploration of a complicated family legacy and a powerful story of environmental and personal repair, Omega Farm is a testament to hope in the face of suffering, and a courageous tale about how returning home can offer a new way to understand the past"--
