Hayley Powell, food and cocktails columnist for Bar Harbor's Island Times, is. . .well, kind of broke. So when she's selected for that extreme coupon-clipping reality game show coming to town. . . . . . she's thrilled, especially when her competition is nasty nurse Candace Culpepper. But when Haley stumbles across a face-down-in-the-snow Candace--scissors gleaming between her shoulders--she knows the next thing she'll be selected for will probably be a police line-up. Meanwhile, though Hayley's BFF Mona was only joking about "taking Candace out," Bruce Linney, the Island Times crime reporter, definitely isn't laughing. And what about the smarmy, cold-hearted host of the show, Drew Nickerson, who may have been having a steamy affair with the intentionally-iced nurse? Hayley needs to cut to the chase and find the killer. Everything may hinge on a stray coupon, but Hayley better keep her eyes on the real grand prize: staying out of permanent cold storage! Includes seven delectable recipes from Hayley's kitchen! Praise for Death of a Kitchen Diva "Delicious and satisfying. Another course, please." --Carolyn Hart "Readers will be calling for a second round from author Lee Hollis." --Leslie Meier, author of Chocolate Covered Murder

A revealing memoir of a family and a “wrenching journey into deafness from the standpoint of a mother, a wife, a daughter, a philosopher, and a Jew” (Ilan Stavans, author of On Borrowed Words: A Memoir of Language). When her daughters were born deaf, Jennifer Rosner was stunned. Then she discovered a hidden history of deafness in her family, going back generations to the Jewish enclaves of Eastern Europe. Traveling back in time in her mind, she imagined her silent relatives, who showed surprising creativity in dealing with a world that preferred to ignore them. Here, in a “gentle meditation on sound and silence, love and family” Rosner shares her journey into the modern world of deafness, and the controversial decisions she and her husband made about hearing aids, cochlear implants and sign language (Publishers Weekly). Punctuated by memories of being unheard, Rosner’s imaginative odyssey of dealing with her daughters’ deafness is at its heart a story of whether she—a mother with perfect hearing—can ever truly hear her children.

My world is falling apart all around me, even though it's supposed to be perfect. My best friend is dead and the government won't tell me anything. He went into the Army Academy three years ago, promising to return soon. There has been no contact, until now: a horrid letter announcing his death as if it is an achievement. All I want to know is how he is dead if there isn't any war to die in. But that doesn't seem to have an answer anyone can give. Or wants to give. I think the medicine is messing with my head. They say I'm ill, but I feel fine. Except for the hallucinations. I'm not even sure that's what they are; they seem too real. And he's everywhere I turn. Who to trust has become my largest emotional dispute. Who can you trust if you can't even trust yourself? And if that's not enough, I think my mother is hiding something from me. Then they took her away. Maybe the System's not as perfect as it's made out to be. Maybe my mother's not the only one with secrets...
