Good Grief: On Loving Pets, Here and Hereafter
"A wonderful, unusual, and healing book. . . Read this book to affirm that love never dies, and you are not alone."--Sy Montgomery
An unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they've passed.
E.B. Bartels has had a lot of pets--dogs, birds, fish, tortoises. As varied a bunch as they are, they've taught her one universal truth: to own a pet is to love a pet, and to own a pet is also--with rare exception--to lose that pet in time.
But while we have codified traditions to mark the passing of our fellow humans, most cultures don't have the same for pets. Bartels takes us from Massachusetts to Japan, from ancient Egypt to the modern era, in search of the good pet death. We meet veterinarians, archaeologists, ministers, and more, offering an idiosyncratic, inspiring array of rituals--from the traditional (scattering ashes, commissioning a portrait), to the grand (funereal processions, mausoleums), to the unexpected (taxidermy, cloning). The central lesson: there is no best practice when it comes to mourning your pet, except to care for them in death as you did in life, and find the space to participate in their end as fully as you can.
Punctuated by wry, bighearted accounts of Bartels's own pets and their deaths, Good Grief is a cathartic companion through loving and losing our animal family.

Hardhat Days: My Re-Education in Seattle's Shipyards
Following weeks of fruitless 1970s job-hunting, new college graduate Mike Nolan was broke and miserable, sleeping on his sister's couch. As a last resort, he signed on as a shipyard laborer, and discovered that the most worthwhile education often happens outside of a classroom. Indeed, when he toppled from the crow's nest of the USS Roark while trying to impress the foreman, only his rote safety training kept him alive.
Desperate to keep his job after joining a primarily African American Ship Scalers Union No. 541, Mike lied about being a sandblaster. In reality, he knew nothing about the trade and deserved to be fired. Instead, his kind-hearted Black coworkers took the white kid under their wing, and the former honor student from a small, not-so-diverse college became "Brother Nols," the only white sandblaster on the crew. His mentors included Eddie, on work release from prison, who sympathized with Mike's situation and showed him the tricks of the trade, and U.S. Olympic rowing coxswain hopeful, Chris, who became his best friend.
Taking pride in his blue-collar life and developing immense respect for his fellow ship scalers, Mike's entertaining accounts shine a light on the gritty, dangerous, yet still often humorous--world of heavy construction. Along the way, he offers insightful reflections on his growing self-awareness and empathy, ties between work and identity, and finally, his evolving perceptions surrounding race and privilege.

Accident Report: A Ronald Truluck Novel
"Ralph Ellis delights the reader with engaging characters, a suspenseful plot, and laugh-out-loud humor." -Kim McCollum, author of What Happens in Montana
It's the summer of 1974, and Woodward and Bernstein have vanquished Nixon from the White House. In a sleepy North Carolina textile town, rookie reporter Ronald Truluck is bored with writing about lawn mower thefts when he gets a tip - city councilman Lamont Moody got drunk, drove his Bonneville off the road, and ripped up somebody's front yard. But the police let him walk away.
Recognizing a cover-up when he sees it, Ronald vows to break Lamontgate and make his bones as a serious journalist. It won't be easy. Ronald is a long-haired pothead who's loosey-goosey with the facts. His paper, The Eagle, runs pet-of-the-week photos on the front page, not corruption stories. And the linchpin source only wants to talk about his book of poetry, not the accident. With a little help from his brainy girlfriend and the flower-child city hall reporter, Ronald lands the story - with results nobody expected.
