Book excerpt: EDITORIAL REVIEWSWhether breeding birds or keeping a family companion, diet and nutrition are the most important aspects of their lives in order for them to maintain optimum health and fitness, and Polly Want a Sprout will provide the required information. Such subjects can be quite complex, depending on each particular situation, but nutrition will always be at the top of the list. Since 2002, Leslie has been writing for Parrots magazine, informing our readers about the importance of what their parrots eat, and going by the comments I continually receive, her articles have been a significant element in the good health and well-being of many owners' birds. Leslie's knowledge of nutrition and her determination to search for the finest foods is quite amazing. She will go to never ending lengths to seek out what is best for our birds. There is no doubt that sprouts are one of the finest sources of natural nutrition and her knowledge on the subject will be hard to beat. Every time I read through her monthly Parrots magazine's columns, I never fail to be amazed at the amount of detail she includes, and the invaluable information she provides.This book contains a wealth of knowledge and will, I have no doubt, become the 'encyclopedia' of nutrition for parrots and parakeets, and an essential part of any parrot owner's library. -John Catchpole, Publisher/Editor, Parrots magazine "Leslie's documentation is meticulously cited, which provides great peace of mind for those of us who want proof rather than marketing ploys." -Jenny P, Austin, Texas "A must read for aviculturists and avian veterinarians." -Linus McKibbin, owner, and Marcia Sherman, manager, Pettin Place, Reno, NV, retired exotic bird breeder (30 years) "This book answers questions I never knew I needed to ask." -Marie S, Sacramento, CA "We are impressed by your years of trial and error and research on how to eradicate avian malnutrition." -Lisa and Wayne Schandelmeier, Keeling, VA, US "In addition to the great advice for beginners, this book also offers really good insights for those of us who have had birds for years." -Pat Gower, PhD., San Antonio, Texas "Leslie Moran has shared the research, science and her passion behind the importance of properly grown sprouts and why they are the most nutritious food available to keep our birds healthy." -Peggy Beal, Board Member, RAAVE: Reno Area Avian Enthusiasts https: //raave.com FROM THE BACK COVER: The First Balanced Exotic Avian Nutrition Food Plan: This book makes feeding your parrots and finches the wholesome, real foods that they must eat every day, simple, easy, and fun. While also eliminating other harmful and unnecessary foods from their diet. Why is feeding balanced nutrition important? Because the only way for your birds to live long, happy and healthy lives, is by improving their health and well-being by feeding a combination of foods that provide balanced nutrition. The basic and essential nutritional elements presented and discussed in this book embrace the building blocks of solid, basic nutritional knowledge, scientific research, and case studies. Because of the enhanced nutrition that feeding birds a correctly formulated and properly grown sprouting blend provides, the author uses this life-giving avian superfood as the foundation for her 'Balanced Exotic Avian Maintenance Diet Food Plan'. This edition, formerly "The Complete Guide to Successful Sprouting for Parrots", has been completely rewritten and eight new information-rich chapters have been added. This author is best known for her investigative journalism and attention to detail, while being straightforward with the facts. Leslie simplifies complex subjects down to the basics. A must-read.

Book excerpt: “If anyone wrote eloquently and magnificently about affairs of the heart, it was Laurie Colwin.” —San Francisco Chronicle At first glance, Polly Solo-Miller Demarest appears to have it all. The only daughter of a distinguished and close-knit family, she marries a handsome lawyer named Henry (just like her father and brother) and has two adorable and well-behaved children, Pete and Dee-Dee. She lives in a comfortable Park Avenue apartment, works three days a week in a rewarding job at the Board of Education, and spends every August in Maine. People regularly tell her, with admiration and envy, that she has life aced. What no one suspects is that this perfect daughter, wife, and mother, always so eager to see to the happiness of others, would be willing to risk everything for love. From the moment she encounters his beautiful portraits in a group show, Polly cannot get Lincoln Bennett out of her mind. Soon she and the solitary, kindhearted painter are wrapped up in a deep and thrilling romance, and Polly has never felt more euphoric—or more terrified. Previously she divided women into two groups—those who have affairs and those who do not—and placed herself firmly in the latter category. How could she have been so wrong? And what does her passion for Lincoln say about the genuine pleasure she takes in her marriage and her family? A sophisticated, sincere, and ultimately hopeful novel about the search for fulfillment, Family Happiness is a testament to the clarity of Laurie Colwin’s vision and the elegance of her craft. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Laurie Colwin including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

Forty-one-year-old school nurse Kate Cypher has returned home to rural Vermont to care for her mother, who's afflicted with Alzheimer's. On the night she arrives, a young girl is murdered—a horrific crime that eerily mirrors another from Kate's childhood. Three decades earlier, her dirt-poor friend Del—shunned and derided by classmates as "Potato Girl"—was brutally slain. Del's killer was never found, while the victim has since achieved immortality in local legends and ghost stories. Now, as this new murder investigation draws Kate irresistibly in, her past and present collide in terrifying, unexpected ways. Because nothing is quite what it seems . . . and the grim specters of her youth are far from forgotten. More than just a murder mystery, Jennifer McMahon's extraordinary debut novel, Promise Not to Tell, is a story of friendship and family, devotion and betrayal—tautly written, deeply insightful, beautifully evocative, and utterly unforgettable.
