From The Cake Therapist: It wasn’t often that I had difficulty tasting something. Flavor was the way people like me made sense of the world. We knew that there was a flavor that explained you— even to yourself. A flavor whose truth you recognized when you tasted it. A flavor that answered the question you didn’t know you had. Perhaps it was a voluptuous vanilla that your sharpedged self could sink into like a pillow. Or homesick pomegranate, each seed like a ruby slipper that would take you back to the place where you were loved and where people had missed you. That’s where I was going. If only I could taste it. • “In a small town where secrets run deep and over generations, Fertig shows friendship, family, and food can bring people together and heal old wounds.

One man had the courage to get them out . . . BEHIND NAZI LINES My Father’s Heroic Quest to Save 149 World War II P.O.W.s Andrew Gerow Hodges, Jr., and Denise George Andy Hodges had been excluded from military service due to a lingering shoulder injury, so he joined the Red Cross, volunteering for the toughest assignments. In the fall of 1944, Andy was tapped for what sounded like a suicide mission: a desperate attempt to aid the Allied POWs in occupied France. Andy did far more than deliver muchneeded supplies. By the end of the year, he had negotiated the release of an unprecedented 149 prisoners—leaving no one behind. This is the true story of one man’s selflessness, ingenuity, and victory in the face of impossible adversity. Marketing 978-0-425-27646-4 • $27.95/$32.95 Can.
