My Two Mothers: A Memoir with Recipes
My five-year granddaughter Amelia insists my entire family join in a huddle in the living room before leaving our home after a birthday party, a holiday meal, or just in-the-middle-of-a-week-night at Mimi and PopPop's house. She encourages us to come out of this huddle shouting, "Yay, family!" Even at her young age, Amelia has gotten the notion that being part of a family is something special to celebrate. If I've set this tradition in motion and influenced her, or my other grandchildren's desire to part of my family, I can rest knowing that I've done my job. My own love of family, cultivated long before I was born, by my grandmother, my mother, her sisters and brothers in the house at 435 Union Street in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn, this is where I grew to appreciate having a loving family. It was that house, that family, those home-cooked meals that motivated me to present to you this book, My Two Mothers: A Memoir With Recipes. " The small 'village' she was born into and grew up is mostly gone. Patricia has shared her experience with us and we are richer for it." Rashidah Ismaili AbuBakr, Author of Cantata for Jimmy
Cucina Amelia
Cucina Amelia shares a combination of stories and cooking that's been passed down between a family with two Italian grandmothers: One Sicilian and one Neapolitan, whose recipes and traditions nourished a family's love of good food, while bringing home-cooked meals along with memories and recipes for generations to come. Patricia says, "It didn’t matter that the recipes were brought over from Avellino, Naples or Palermo, Sicily; these cities crossed boundaries in my mother’s kitchen for the most delicious of everything.”
My Two Mothers
I understand why people say, "Paybacks are a bitch!" It's tough work to pay back someone in your life who has been giving to you since you were born. You see, when I came into this world, I came in having two mothers. And it seems like these two old ladies sure knew the ropes because they got me hopping around like a chicken with her head cut off paying them back big time. By the time I clean up the kitchen from breakfast dishes, and whatnot, I'm setting the table back up because these two old gals are sitting at the table again waiting for their lunch to be served. I guess it goes that way with older folks; their stomachs seem to empty out faster. You've probably guessed by now that these a...
Puppy in My Pocket
At first glance, this may appear to be a book for children. Puppy In My Pocket is for anyone at any age who enjoys exploring with their dog. This book takes place in the historical beach town of Ocean Grove, NJ, where the author resides with her husband. If you choose to do so, the author left the coloring of the pages up to the reader.
A Quiet and Peaceful Place & Other Short Stories
Writing fiction is a craft; writing short story fiction is a craft within a craft; and this month we have found some extraordinary masters of their craft. Our collection opens with the return of one of our most prolific authors, Patricia Crandall, as she tells a traditional Christmas story with her customary wit and pathos. Jeff Brown's work makes its first appearance in our collections with "The Butcher's Son and the Paper Boy," a tale two brothers' triumph over abuse. "Relationship Conundrums" by Savannagh Zeviar speeds through a humorous array of emotions as a young lady contemplates the future potential of an emerging relationship. Jake Anderson's "Skipper and Beatty" tugs at the heart s...
All in the Game and Other Short Stories
We are pleased to bring our readers another collection of fresh new short stories from emerging authors. The tales in this volume draw from several different literary traditions-humor to horror, romance to lament. Our collection opens with Patricia Florio's tale of gambling, addiction, and financial ruin. "All in the Game" helps us understand the lingering appeal of games of chance-in spite of their obvious financial and emotional costs. Florio doesn't explain why people roll the dice, spin the roulette wheel or flip the next card, but she allows the reader to participate in the gambler's emotional rush as the game transpires. Adam Russ's "Spill in the Aisle" also allows the reader to empath...
Regrets and Other Short Stories
People read for all kinds of reasons, and this collection has something for everyone! This splendid collection begins with Alex H. Mittelman's tale of poetic justice in "Blueberry Tea for Burglars." Readers will experience mixed emotions as an affable bad-guy gets an extreme dose of the crime that he so freely dishes out to others. James Fox's "The Hidden Trail" features justice of another kind as a bullied and marginalized youth is vindicated-and eventually admired-by his status-conscious pre-teen peers. The story of male alienation ages a little in "Addicted" as Joshua Lane relates a tragic tale about a young man who watches his own personality and behavior degrade under the influence of a...
Spring Lake
Spring Lake, an oceanfront community bounded on the south by Wreck Pond and on the north by Lake Como, was named after a spring-fed body of water that spawned the townas settlement in the 1870s. The development of the area was accelerated by the advent of the railroad, which brought building activity to the locale. Eventually, Monmouth Avenue and the lakefront became very desirable locations for seasonal homes. Once promoted as New Jerseyas agarden spot, a Spring Lake came to contain several private landscape showplaces, exquisite public grounds, and a legendary non-commercial boardwalk. This photographic record of Spring Lakeas development illustrates the remarkable architectural tradition whose legacy remains evident in this elegant resort today. From Ballingarry and the Casino to the churches and the New Monmouth Hotel, Spring Lakeas stunning built environment is vividly displayed in over two hundred photographs contained in this volume.

Montville
The Morris County community of Montville covers a nine-milelong area bounded by the Rockaway River to the west and the Passaic River to the east. Montville Township was formed in 1867 from land set off from Pequannock Township, and incorporates the hamlets of Pine Book and Towaco (formerly known as White Hall). Set within the foothills of the Hook Mountains, the area has always been known for its plentiful, clear springs, deposits of limestone and iron ore, and fertile soil. Long traversed by the Lenni Lenape people, it drew Dutch patentees to hide-trapping, tanning, and eventually farming. During the Revolutionary War, General Washington frequented the Doremus House in the northwestern part of Montville. The Morris Canal, built between 1824 and 1831, provided an inland waterway to transport coal west from Pennsylvania across New Jersey to the Hudson River. Montville celebrates this community's long and multifaceted history.
