  DISCLAIMER: This is NOT the Official Book. This is a Summary & it does NOT Accompany the Official Book. 
  In this era-defining novel that Stephen King heralded as the "Catch-22 of early feminism," we follow Zott from the lab to the kitchen. The book highlights the strikingly unscientific attitude towards gender equality amongst her male colleagues, save for Calvin Evans, a Nobel-prize nominated intellect who becomes smitten with her sharp mind, sparking undeniable chemistry. 
  Life's unpredictability leads Zott from being a single mother to a reluctant star of the beloved cooking show, "Supper at Six." Her unconventional cooking methods quickly become revolutionary, and as her influence expands, she dares women to challenge the status quo. 
  A perfect blend of humor, sharp observations, and a stellar cast of characters, "Lessons in Chemistry" is as captivating and vibrant as its protagonist. It's more than a novel - it's a testament to female empowerment in a time of change.

  Y’all ain’t never gonna believe what’s inside my book. Sit yourself down, and open up a copy while I show you the joys of Carolina livin’.  
  Inside you’ll find a tale about my tom cat who is so mean he fears neither man nor machine. It’s just a darn shame he wasn’t as big on common sense as he was his attitude. Then ride along with me while I get neutered. Well, my wife Darla called it a vasectomy, but I’ve seen our dogs treated with more respect. After you ain’t doubled over no more, I’ll take you for some amazin' adventures in bathrooms from around the world. I tell you what, it’s surprisin’ just how excitin’ the old outhouse can be. Once you’ve refreshed yourself, join my best dog Wobbly and me. We’ll show you the joys of unconditional slobbery love, and more courage than a pack of coyotes. Finally, hop on in my pickup as we go out on the last moonshine run of the season. We’ll make some new friends, and see some old ones. As you turn the last page of my book, you can finish off your last sip of good country shine and rest easy with a big ole smile on your face.

  What is it like to be a fox hunted by hounds? We find out through the senses of an escaped convict as he struggles to free himself from would-be captors. The struggle is brutal. In the end, we are left wondering which person really wins--the pursued or the pursuer. Or perhaps which one is now the pursuer, which the pursued. - Summary by Bill Boerst

  Brother Hermitage's Christmas Gift

  Howard of Warwick

  In a modest little tale for the season, Brother Hermitage heads for London. 
  William Duke of Normandy is to be crowned King of England on Christmas day 1066, and he expects presents. 
  For reasons beyond reason the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle is invited to the ceremony and the only ones who can be let out on their own are Brother Hermitage and Wat the Weaver. 
  But it will be a rush to get there. With only 7 days to travel over 100 miles, the pair must cross a frozen and largely lawless country if they are to make it to Westminster alive. 
  And then there's the problem of Wat's attitude towards gifts in principle. He doesn't mind a reasonable exchange but simply giving sounds like a very poor deal. 
  Perhaps the days of the journey will give Brother Hermitage the opportunity to breathe the spirit of the season into his weaving friend. 
  Or perhaps not. 
  Recent reviews for Howard of Warwick continue a theme:
