Becky rocks a baby that rocked her world. Sixty years earlier, with her fiancé Drew in the middle of the Korean Conflict, Ivy throws herself into her work at a nursing home to keep her sanity and provide for the child Drew doesn't know is coming. Ivy cares for Anna, an elderly patient who taxes Ivy's listening ear until the day she suspects Anna's tall tales are not the ramblings of dementia. They're fragments of Anna's disjointed memories of a remarkable life. Finding a faint thread of hope she can't resist tugging, Ivy records Anna's memoir, scribbling furiously after hours to keep up with the woman's emotion-packed, grace-hemmed stories. Is Ivy's answer buried in Anna's past? Becky, Ivy, Anna--three women fight a tangled vine of deception in search of the blossoming simplicity of truth.

Life in a tenement during the 1930s is difficult for anyone. No wonder Mama is homesick for the sunny south of Italy, where flowers bloom and the sky is always blue. Her little daughter tries everything to cheer her up, from hand stands and jokes to a trip to Coney Island. Nothing seems to work. But at Coney Island, the child wins a packet of seeds. Although it isn't the stuffed toy she wanted, it turns out to hold a treasure. When the seeds are planted, they become morning glories. Their beauty reaches Mama, and everyone else who sees them. Based on a true episode in New York's Lower East Side, where the residents of 97 Orchard Street cheered up their bleak homes with morning glories, this is a story with universal appeal. By introducing simple beauty into our daily lives, even the grayest of places, and hearts, can be transformed. Arlene Alda's lyrical text is perfectly complemented by Maryann Kovalski's marvelous art, which evokes the great illustrators of the 1930s.

For Donna Leahy, the usual morning fare is just a departure point for her original menus. Take oatmeal, for instance. Even that sturdy but mundane dish is transformed, combined with apples and pecans and baked into flaky phyllo packets. Eggs also achieve new status - with pancetta on potato nests or with risotto, spinach and parmesan cheese. Equally seductive are corn waffles with smoked salmon; gingerbread pancakes with apple raisin syrup or walnut French toast with poached pears and Stilton cheese. The dishes in Leahy's "Late Risers" chapter in particular move easily from early in the day to brunch and lunch, and then on the supper - and even beyond. Seared scallops with pink grapefruit and caviar, for just one example, make a lovely brunch, but they could as easily open the most formal dinner party. And why confine wild rice and almonds tossed in orange vinaigrette to the A.M.? Donna Leahy's cuisine is brightly contemporary, rooted in tradition and very much her own. In addition to her brilliant food sense, she has the advantage of cooking in the heart of Lancaster County, one of America's richest farmlands, and she shares her knowledge of fine ingredients with her readers. As a first rate innkeeper, she also has developed amazing organizational skills and in the final section of this book offers menus for entertaining and strategic one- and two-day plans for executing them.

Three local businessmen recruit Jason Eisenberg, a market savvy high school teacher, to guide their stock investment club. After much success, Jason is fired for trading during class time, so he becomes a day-trader. The club rides the wave of Tech Stocks to make a million. On the day the NASDAQ tumbles, however, Jason freezes at the controls and loses it all. As an afterthought, he robs a bank to meet his margin call. Soon they all join in, robbing banks on their way to work. The Atlanta press dubs them The Morning Glory Gang, and what begins as an act of desperation becomes a high stakes game as the robberies become more frequent and more violent. All goes well with the gang until Annabelle Whaley enters the picture. Belle, an African American detective, was just passed over for a promotion and she is spoiling for a fight.
