A chance to be a part of a headline-grabbing case against a drug company has lured attorney Avery Andrews back to Charleston, South Carolina. She agrees to meet with Mark Tilman, a young doctor from her hometown who seems to have something on his mind. When he doesn't show, she figures he stood her up and takes comfort in the stilt restaurant's she-crab soup. But it turns out he had a fatal car accident. Something about the crash isn't right, and Mark's father asks Avery to look into his death. Between that and digging up dirt on the wonder drug Uplift, Avery is coming up with more questions than answers. Of course, Avery isn't the only one making headlines. Back in Dacus, her mom is on live television confronting a teenager's dynamite-toting paramour in a hostage crisis at the Burger Hut, Great-Aunt Aletha is mixing it up with the now-toupeeless postman, and the son of a ghost wants vengeance. In short, it's life as usual back in Dacus, while in Charleston, Avery is forced to face demons from her past. Cathy Pickens's first mystery novel established her as a distinctive voice in the cozy tradition. In this second, readers can expect more Southern wit and charm, more courtroom drama, and even crazier antics from the folks back home, all the while falling more and more in love with this endearing heroine.
A parody of Gone with the wind, this novel tells the story of Cynara, the mulatto half-sister born into slavery who eventually triumphs.

The author, Dr. Schilling is a retired physician who has seen a lot of failures and successes when practicing medicine. In this book he describes how too many in his former profession focus on treating a patient's symptoms with various medicines instead of addressing the underlying causes. He begins this book by highlighting stories of famous people that he feels were "failed by medicine" (Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, Michael Jackson, Churchill and the composer Beethoven). Following that a scenario of a modern-day "Joe" is introduced who experiences dangerous side effects from prescribed medications before having the "motivation and willpower to follow through on lifestyle changes" that "solve his medical problem without medication." The author then spends the bulk of the book citing studies that support various measures for staying healthy at the cellular level, which may help prevent heart disease, cancer, joint problems, and brain atrophy. He notes, "Balanced nutrition with organic food, vitamins and supplements and exercise will all contribute to having optimal mitochondrial function." He also covers several alternative therapies, including intravenous chelation treatments to flush out toxins and, most particularly, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, saying that "If your doctor still recommends [synthetic hormones], maybe remind him that human females are not horses!" He then dedicates an entire chapter to the importance of hormone balance for both men and women using replacement of missing hormones with bioidentical hormones. Kirkus review March 17, 2016 stated: "Although Schilling ventures into some controversial territory in his latest book, it's generally an engaging, helpful synthesis of ideas that draws on reputable research from the Mayo Clinic and other sources. Overall, it serves as an intensely detailed wake-up call to the importance of preventative health. However, he largely brings an accessible and even-tempered tone to his narrative, warning readers, for example, that preventative health measures can only aid in "a delay of aging, not 'eternal living.' " A thought-provoking, impassioned plea to be proactive about one's health."
An unforgettable account of a quietly remarkable life, Robert Brown's memoir takes readers behind the scenes of pivotal moments from the 20th century, where the lessons he learned at his grandmother's knee helped him shape America as we know it today. Called "a world-class power broker" by the Washington Post, Robert Brown has been a sought-after counselor for an impressive array of the famous and powerful, including every American president since John F. Kennedy. But as a child born into poverty in the 1930s, Robert was raised by his grandmother to think differently about success. For example, "The best way to influence others is to be helpful," she told him. And, "You can’t go wrong by doing right." Fueled by these lessons on humble, principled service, Brown went on to play a pivotal, mostly unseen role alongside the great and the powerful of our time: trailing the mob in 1950s Harlem with a young Robert F. Kennedy; helping the white corporate leadership at Woolworth integrate their lunch counters; channeling money from American businesses to the Civil Rights movement; accompanying Coretta Scott King, at her request, to Memphis the day after her husband had been shot; advising Richard Nixon on how to support black entrepreneurship; becoming the only person allowed to visit Nelson Mandela in Pollsmoor prison in Cape Town. Full of unbelievable moments and reminders that the path to influence runs through a life of generosity, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG DOING RIGHT blends a heartwarming, historically fascinating account with memorable lessons that will speak to the dreamer in all of us.
In July of 1999, Brax Bragg was on the brink of something big. After being published twice in the Mercer University literary review, he gleaned his lyrical poetry and set out to be the next Bob Dylan. Many nights of paying his dues while singing across the Southeast soon paid off for Bragg. He quickly went from a one-man minstrel to recording a CD with his new band. Shows were booked, and Bragg left for a short vacation before setting out on the road. All this was tragically cut short by a car accident which claimed the life of Bragg as well as his younger brother. Brax Bragg's unique creative gifts have not been lost.
