Elizabeth Berg, award-winning New York Times bestselling author says, “This is a dream cookbook. Who in the world wouldn't want to try ‘Catch of the Day for a Beautiful Woman of the Sea?' But in addition to being a cookbook, it's a slice of life from the impossibly beautiful Amalfi Coast: how it looks, how it feels, how the interactions with the people there are so soulful and rewarding. It takes a particular kind of person to attract the kinds of magical stories Lauren Birmingham Piscitelli does. And it takes something more to get chefs to give up their recipes. Call this author not only a charming writer, but a sorceress whose company in these pages we are privileged to keep.” Order here  View Pages

Elizabeth Berg , the bestselling author of over thirty books, comes to us with a beautiful memoir about her parents in their final years. In this personal family love story, Elizabeth tells her experience of watching her parents' relationship when she was growing up. When her father is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and they are moved out of their home, it's up to their children to care for them in ways they couldn't expect. Carol talks to Elizabeth about what made writing a memoir different from the other writing she's worked on in the past, and especially what made her decide to write this one. Elizabeth also explains her care in delving into the difficult topics in her family's relationships during this time, and the effect they had on her and her siblings.

Ubuntu, I am because we are.Mudita, the joy felt for another person's success.It all started with a dream and a group of friends. Stephanie Caves, Sarah Keyeski, Carla Wiessing, and Stephanie Manley-Kessenich created what will be Willow Tree Wellness Cooperative. They will each take a hand in building the newest business in Lodi. Willow Tree Wellness will offer community members a chance to fill their cup with self-care. These women are strong and intelligent and walk us through the challenges of not only opening a new business, but renovating an old building to its glory. More than that these women each have a desire to help others, each in their own form. This dream has been marinating for each of them, proving entrepreneurship can strike when the moment is right! The idea of Willow Tree Wellness feels like a deep breath and release after a long day. There is no better way to serve your people. This is a business forged in love and appreciation. "There is incredible value of being of service to others." -Elizabeth Berg

You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: a group of online readers that saves the day and all about audiobook “stories.” Next, we tackle what we are currently reading: some Capital W-Weird picks, some non-fiction, some YA.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv, published in November by Random House. Elizabeth was a registered nurse for over ten years before publishing her first novel, Durable Goods. She has since written maybe 25 books (neither of us can probably remember the exact count!) She’s been translated into almost 30 languages, has long been on Bestseller lists. She has won numerous awards and has also published a lot of non-fiction work. Arthur Truluv is a widower, a widower who is still very much in love with his wife. In fact her sees her every day, at the cemetery where he brings a folding chair and lunch and sits and talks. Not only that--he visits graves surrounding his wife’s and talks to their occupants as well. He imagines their lives and in an almost magical way, his description of their day-to-day activities and personalities ring as true as any other part of this novel. One day Arthur spies Maddy, an intelligent and lovely young teen, who is spurned by her classmates, ignored (for the most part) by her father who is also widowed. Maddy’s mother died when she was just an infant. The third main character in this novel is Lucille, who is about Arthur’s age but is more gossipy, ascerbic and certainly more nosy. This triad forms an unlikely but very likable group and they forge a friendship, seamlessly and bonding. How Elizabeth does all this is both touching and natural, without being at all cloyingly sweet or manipulative of the reader. We fall for the characters and remember their names, even the minor ones including Gordon, Arthur’s cat. In all, this is a book that takes you out of this very disruptive daily world and brings you to a place where love, lost and then reborn, allows you to take a fresher look at the world in a much less cynical way (if you tend to be cynical, as I do).
