  Following his hilarious introduction to Paris in French Like Moi, Midwesterner Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. 
  This time, though, the story starts with sorrow as Carpenter's wife struggles with dementia. Humor may be the best medicine, but even the antics of a vandal in their building can’t cement the tiles of her memory for long. Before he expects it, the author finds himself alone in a capital that is also blighted by the pandemic. 
  It’s against this backdrop that the city comes roaring back to life. From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures, and even a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With his unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through his new labyrinth of solitude—only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.

  Edith Stilson My Grandmother's...

  Harold Charles Clark delivers a remarkable family saga that begins in the steamy construction camps of the Panama Canal Zone and spans four generations of extraordinary lives. At its heart is his grandmother Edith Stilson, born in 1894 when the great canal was still a dangerous dream carved from jungle and ambition. The Stilson family was not casual observers of history. They lived it. Charles Stilson arrived in 1863 to work on the Panama Railroad. His son Joseph became a successful businessman whose name graced a pond near the Gatun Locks. Edith grew up watching the canal take shape, was crowned Carnival Queen at sixteen, and witnessed the first ships pass through the locks that forever changed global commerce. Clark brings these stories to life with rich detail and thorough research, drawing from family letters, photographs, and memories passed down through generations. Readers experience the Panama Canal Zone as few ever have: the daily reality of yellow fever outbreaks, revolutionary upheaval, and the massive construction project that transformed an entire region. From the tropical heat of Colon to the neighborhoods of Baltimore where the family eventually settled, this book preserves voices from a vanishing world. It's both an intimate family memoir and an important historical record, capturing what it meant to build a life alongside one of humanity's greatest engineering feats.
