Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a first time parent of adopted infants, Terrell faced multiple questions of not only how to be a new parents and father, but also how to explain to his sons that they are adopted and what that means. He searched for direction at the library, multiple seminars and educational classes and found them to be little help. The best advice he found was to always use proper and consistent terms and to keep his messages short and simple. Terrell and his sons visited his ranch frequently and became enamored with the cattle and the calves. Terrell made up stories for his sons that would continue every night at bedtime. One night he decided to make up a story about a baby calf whose mother couldn't take care of him and who went through the pasture looking for another Mommy to adopt her newborn baby. Upon request by his boys he found himself repeating the story on a nightly basis. When his boys were old enough to ask why they had different skin, why their eyes were a different color, and why they didn't look the same as he did he found himself a simple answer, because you are adopted. They instantly related it to the story and never questioned what adoption was, his love for them, the love of their birth mother and the circumstances as to why they were adopted. Because of their response and total amount of comfort with adoption Terrell wanted to share this story with other adoptive parents.

Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of the Year by Entertainment Weekly, Vogue, Time, Esquire, BookPage, and more This darkly hilarious and “delicious new novel that ravishes with sex and food” (The Boston Globe) from the acclaimed author of The Pisces and So Sad Today is a “precise blend of desire, discomfort, spirituality, and existential ache” (BuzzFeed). Rachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew who has made calorie restriction her religion. By day, she maintains an illusion of existential control, through obsessive food rituals, while working as an underling at a Los Angeles talent management agency. At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. Rachel is content to carry on subsisting—until her therapist encourages her to take a ninety-day communication detox from her mother, who raised her in the tradition of calorie counting. Rachel soon meets Miriam, a zaftig young Orthodox Jewish woman who works at her favorite frozen yogurt shop and is intent upon feeding her. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam—by her sundaes and her body, her faith and her family—and as the two grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors, mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. “A ruthless, laugh-out-loud examination of life under the tyranny of diet culture” (Glamour) Broder tells a tale of appetites: physical hunger, sexual desire, spiritual longing, and the ways that we compartmentalize these so often interdependent instincts. Milk Fed is “riotously funny and perfectly profane” (Refinery 29) from “a wild, wicked mind” (Los Angeles Times).
