A widowed college professor adapting to a new life, a young man struggling with his future and his sexual orientation, a small Maine seaport seething with petty intrigues, and a newly found-and newly stolen-Winslow Homer painting. Stealing Homer is an art-flavored mystery that traces the connections and interconnections between people and the compelling, tragic, and humorous lives they lead.

Part cookbook, part literacy tool, and part reminiscence, ABC Soup: A Family and Friends Cookbook is, at its heart, a love letter of sorts from chef and author Curtis Aikens to his childhood self, and really to all children-from those who struggle with reading comprehension and self-esteem, to those who wish to learn the art of cooking healthy foods.Using a neighborhood as a metaphor and the alphabet as a learning tool, Curtis leads readers on a romp through twenty-six fun and nutritious soup recipes.
