Desmond advocates for a hopeful and active agenda to abolish poverty. Arguing that by rebalancing our social safety net away from handouts to the richer Americans in the form of tax breaks and towards the poorest among us with programs like the successful Child Tax Credit, empowering the poor by reining in exploitation like by raising the minimum wage, and investing in in broad prosperity by turning away from segregation by income, we can abolish poverty. The perfect book for rich liberals who want to help fight poverty but don't know how to help. ~ Reviewed by Paul Thomnpson

It could be argued that no one injected more of her personal life into her art than Tammy Wynette. She spent much of her career defending the implications in her signature song, "Stand By Your Man," against a growing tide of feminist indignation and a discouraging number of her own failed marriages. Wynette could take songs like "I Don't Wanna Play House" and "My Elusive Dreams" and invest them with a genuine pathos that never lapsed into sloppy sentimentality. This is a meticulous examination of the difficult life of a woman who was able to convey both her pain and her disappointments to an audience without once hitting a false note. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

A bleak, but lyrical, look at what happens to an outlying community on a remote island off the coast of Maine, when so-called civilization decides their future fates for them. A poetic tale of racial, religious and societal injustice and prejudice. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty

A beautiful and lyrical vignette of the lives of a small cast of characters. Centered around a boys' school in Ireland, dynamics shift when a new teacher comes to teach woodworking, and introduces the project of building a boat. At its heart though, are the ways in which humans interact with each other, and themselves, and the ways that relationships can hurt and heal us. Be it in the often brutal world of young teenagers, or the messy world of marriage, add to it religion and addiction, and the different ways that we can cope, or not, with those things, and Feeney has brought together a novel encompassing the fragility of the human psyche and shown us the beauty that can exist there. Highly Recommend! ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty

Beautifully conveyed through Daniel's poetic perspective is his story of love, loss, and self-discovery which blossoms in vivid color against a rich backdrop of Mexican-American culture and identity. Life affirming amid its tragedy, Ordorica's coming of age novel is a lyrical meditation on grief, youth, mortality, love of all kinds, and finding your place in a world full of wonder and opportunity. ~ Reviewed by Bethany Marsfelder
