These five best friends made a Summer Sand Pact as teens and have only kept it once or twice—until they reunite decades later and renew their agreement to meet in Five Island Cove every summer. Alice Kelton's marriage is in shambles, and while she's always thought she'd stay with her husband, after her last visit to the cove, she went back to the Hamptons and filed for divorce. She and her twins are moving to Rocky Ridge in Five Island Cove permanently, but she's not telling anyone. Robin's husband is in Alaska for the summer, and she's pretending she's okay. Eloise comes back to the cove every couple of weeks so she can see her new boyfriend, though she's growing tired of the distance between them. AJ broke up with her non-committal boyfriend, and she's happier, freer, and open to another relationship, even though she lives in Atlanta. Kelli brings her son to the cove this time, knowing her relationship with her husband is on the rocks and desperate to fix it. She plans to get some help from her sisterhood during the two weeks in the cove. When she's followed to the beach house where the other women and their children have gathered, Kelli learns a dangerous secret thirty years in the making that could completely undo all the progress she's made... Get ready for more secrets to come to light in Five Island Cove, and for these five women to show each other what it means to love and support someone through thick and thin.
After a winter storm destroys the sand dunes that provide a home for plants and animals, a beach community bands together to restore the dunes.
"A comprehensive and entertaining historical and botanical review, providing an enjoyable and cognitive read.”—Nature The foods we eat have a deep and often surprising past. From almonds and apples to tea and rice, many foods that we consume today have histories that can be traced out of prehistoric Central Asia along the tracks of the Silk Road to kitchens in Europe, America, China, and elsewhere in East Asia. The exchange of goods, ideas, cultural practices, and genes along these ancient routes extends back five thousand years, and organized trade along the Silk Road dates to at least Han Dynasty China in the second century BC. Balancing a broad array of archaeological, botanical, and historical evidence, Fruit from the Sands presents the fascinating story of the origins and spread of agriculture across Inner Asia and into Europe and East Asia. Through the preserved remains of plants found in archaeological sites, Robert N. Spengler III identifies the regions where our most familiar crops were domesticated and follows their routes as people carried them around the world. With vivid examples, Fruit from the Sands explores how the foods we eat have shaped the course of human history and transformed cuisines all over the globe.

Thirteen new stories by the celebrated writer, including two which he considers his greatest achievements to date, artfully blend elements from many literary geares.
James Livingston has been dumped! He’s a billionaire! He doesn’t get dumped! Unfortunately for him, this time he has and he now has a handful of days to find a new date for a destination wedding being held on his family’s private island off of Cape Cod – preferably a date that has no designs on marrying him. Which is a bit difficult because just about every woman James knows wants to marry him. Except James isn’t the marrying kind. He also doesn’t believe in love. Callie Morgan has known James for years. After all, she’s his sister’s old college roommate and current best friend. Except that Callie doesn’t exactly move in the same social circles that James does. She does, however, know exactly what kind of man James is and always has been. She’s also under no illusions about him as a potential lover, let alone boyfriend. In other words, in James’ eyes, she’s the perfect date. When James makes Callie an offer she can’t refuse, she quickly finds herself swept up in a whirlwind, week-long adventure she could have never imagined. Is Callie strong enough to resist the so-called “Livingston Magic” and keep James at arm’s length or will she be seduced by the man she’s had a crush on for years? And will James ever realize that the woman he’s been looking for has been right under his nose all along? This 105,450 word novel is written in the modern romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
