Book Description
A move into an old folks’ home marks a new stage of life for both grandmother and granddaughter in this “wry and witty” novel (Entertainment Weekly). On one side of the Atlantic, Sophia Moore, an emotionally guarded film editor—troubled by her mother's long-ago suicide and her father's abandonment—overworks, incessantly contemplates her past, and continues an unfulfilling affair with the famous director of her latest movie. But when she travels to the other side of the Atlantic to help her octogenarian grandmother Felicity settle into a Rhode Island retirement community, she begins to unravel mysteries about her family history—including the fact that Felicity is not, as she’d thought, her only living relative. Meanwhile, Felicity learns to gamble, falls in love, and uncovers the truth about the residence’s evil nurse Dawn. A hilarious tale of secrets, schemes, and late-life love, Rhode Island Blues is Booker Prize nominee Fay Weldon at her witty best. “Smart and funny, Weldon's boldly plotted and finely crafted tale deftly satirizes our infinite capacity for self-delusion.”—Booklist “Loaded with lively, appealing characters and satisfying, unpredictable plot turns.”—Elle

Book Description
I am pleased to present yet another title in the Chicken Breeds Series. This 1921 volume is entitled Blue Ribbon Reds and delves deeply into the ever-popular chicken breed, Rhode Island Red. Though this work is close to a century old it contains poultry breeding information that is just as pertinent today as it was way back then. It features near-antique articles from newspapers and magazines, old advertising, plans, diagrams, art and illustrations. The range of topics included cover everything from breeding for egg-layers, origins of the breed, molting, judging Rhode Island Reds, to chick feeding, and colony and backyard housing, to name but a few. This is a truly charming, yet practical and valuable book on the various varieties of the Rhode Island Red breed. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.

Book Description
In a charming seaside town, a little boy with a flair for adventure and a talent for earning accolades believed success was his birthright. After all, he had pulled the biggest fish out of the lake at age five and skated to acclaim in ice hockey soon after. An intense and charismatic youth, Joshua Adonis Barber brought complete passion to everything he did. When he traded in hockey pucks for guitar picks, another field of dreams opened before him. His gifts for writing lyrics, meeting blues legends, and performing scorching sets brought him distinction throughout Rhode Island. When Josh was in his late twenties, however, a perfect storm of disappointment, social media, and despair plunged Josh and his family into nightmarish cycles of mental health treatments and recoveries. In Becoming the Blues, Josh's parents and sister follow him through both heartbreaking and heartwarming times. They share their true story with simple and forthright honesty with the goal of bringing hope and healing to others.
