The book is 7 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches, and 1 1/4 inches thick - 496 page hardcover. The 4 stars is for the recipe variety. But I am no longer low carb dieting.

Just one little problem. If you have to face one more day of eggs for breakfast, tuna salad for lunch, and a burger without the bun for dinner, you're going to scream......

You'll find dozens of new things to do with your protein foods and vegetables - and you'll find recipes for foods you thought you'd never, ever be able to eat on your low carb diet: Cinnamon Raisin Bread, Feta Spinach Salmon Roast, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, Obscenely Rich Schrimp, Chocolate Mousse to DIE For, Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies, Mockhhlua Cheese Cake, French Toast........."

Good plot. Medical mystery plus lots of action. Likable characters.
I listened to this audio version of the book. Superbly read by actor J. K. Simmons, on 6 cassettes.

A wonderful story - adventure, hardship, endurance, exotic landscape - and even more interesting because it is true.

We read another of her books - My Dream of You - in our book club. That led me to buy and try to read this earlier book - Are You Somebody? - by this author. I lost patience with this one, and gave up after about 40 pages. Other readers obviously didn't agree with me as this book was a NY Times Best Seller.

Book Description:
Frances Mayes, whose enchanting #1 New York Times bestseller Under the Tuscan Sun made the world fall in love with Tuscany, invites us back for a delightful new season of friendship, festivity, and food there and throughout Italy.
Happiness? The color of it must be spring green, impossible to describe until I see a just-hatched lizard sunning on a stone. That color, the glowing green lizard skin, repeats in every new leaf. The regenerative power of nature explodes in every weed, stalk, branch. Working in the mild sun, I feel the green fuse of my body, too. Surges of energy, kaleidoscopic sunlight through the leaves, the soft breeze that makes me want to say the word "zephyr"--this mindless simplicity can be called happiness.
Having spent her summers in Tuscany for the past several years, Frances Mayes relished the opportunity to experience the pleasures of primavera, an Italian spring. A sabbatical from teaching in San Francisco allowed her to return to Cortona--and her beloved house, Bramasole--just as the first green appeared on the rocky hillsides.
Bella Tuscany, a companion volume to Under the Tuscan Sun, is her passionate and lyrical account of her continuing love affair with Italy. Now truly at home there, Mayes writes of her deepening connection to the land, her flourishing friendships with local people, the joys of art, food, and wine, and the rewards and occasional heartbreaks of her villa's ongoing restoration. It is also a memoir of a season of change, and of renewed possibility. As spring becomes summer she revives Bramasole's lush gardens, meets the challenges of learning a new language, tours regions from Sicily to the Veneto, and faces transitions in her family life.
Filled with recipes from her Tuscan kitchen and written in the sensuous and evocative prose that has become her hallmark, Bella Tuscany is a celebration of the sweet life in Italy.

Alice Walker's daughter, tells us of her unique experience of belonging to two worlds, and of having varying amounts of acceptance and non-acceptance in each one. After her parents divorce, she shifts from New York to California and back, spending two years at a time with each parent. That alone, along with the new friends, and new school each time, would add a measure of stress to anyone's life. That she has come through it all with her identity intact, is a miracle.

I expected more from this book. The author couldn't decide if he was writing a biography, a history of the NYPD, or his family history. I gather that he is still a detective in the NYPD, so maybe he had to censor his writing. Strangely there is not a lot of personal information here either. It is mostly anecdotes about his job. Some are about before his time in the Dept., like the French Connection story, which has been told and retold elsewhere. I stuck with the 560 pages because I thought there had to be a point to this story by a Harvard education policeman. That said, the part about the Trade Towers and 9/11 was touching, and personal.

From Library Journal: Toy Johnson, a teacher at an urban Los Angeles school who cannot resist helping children in trouble, has strange but realistic dreams in which she aids children around the world. As her marriage to a wealthy, selfish doctor falters, Toy begins to experience heart problems, during which these strange dreams become so vivid that she bears physical scars afterward. During a visit to New York City, her physical problems and dream sequences reach a peak after she is arrested for kidnapping a child in Kansas whom she dreamed she saved from a fire. A mysterious and ethereal transit cop may be her only salvation. In a departure from her best-selling suspense tales like Mitigating Circumstances, Rosenberg offers a well-written work of hope and faith.
