The Third Rainbow Girl
By Eisenberg, Emma Copley
A stunningly written investigation of the murder of two young women--showing how a violent crime casts a shadow over an entire community. In the early evening of June 25, 1980 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, two middle-class outsiders named Vicki Durian, 26, and Nancy Santomero, 19, were murdered in an isolated clearing. They were hitchhiking to a festival known as the Rainbow Gathering but never arrived; they traveled with a third woman however, who lived. For thirteen years, no one was prosecuted for the "Rainbow Murders," though deep suspicion was cast on a succession of local residents in the community, depicted as poor, dangerous, and backward. In 1993, a local farmer was convicted, only to be released when a known serial killer and diagnosed schizophrenic named Joseph Paul Franklin claimed responsibility.

Best of One Tank Trips
By Zurcher, Neil
Discover the best and most unusual getaway ideas in and around Ohio! Longtime TV travel reporter Neil Zurcher has driven more than a million miles in Ohio and nearby states to find great local travel destinations for his "One Tank Trips" reports. This book collects his all-time favorites, including . . . The world's largest indoor train display. The certified best spot in the state for stargazing. Ohio's top FREE attraction. A historic village where you can ride an authentic replica canal boat. Beautiful bridges, including the world's longest covered bridge. Two haunted state reformatories. A ride-through wildlife park with 500 exotic animals from six continents. One of the last open-air drive-in restaurants, unchanged since the 1950s. A place where you can drag-race in your family car -- legally! An Amish hardware store selling all non-electric tools, appliances, toys, and more. The only World War II submarine still in original condition. The Center of the World -- really. And dozens of other special places Neil Zurcher writes . . . I skipped over the obvious big "super" attractions because you have probably already heard about them or have been there. What I try to do is direct you to lesser known, hidden away gems in the tourist world that might not attract lots of attention, but are still very worthwhile as a place to visit. I've tried to mix in destinations that my viewers and readers have told me they also enjoyed. Whether it was a slice of real prize-winning home-made pie in a diner in Jefferson, Ohio or a chance to fly on a life-size replica of the first airplane sold by the Wright Brothers in Dayton. I show you where you can sail across tree-tops and crawl through rock caverns. There is even a park in northwest Ohio where you, and the kids, can dig for prehistoric life. No matter what you like to do on a holiday or vacation, I think you will find something in this book to excite and entertain you.

PAT CONROY - AMERICA'S MOST BELOVED STORYTELLER - IS BACK!"I was born to be a point guard, but not a very good one. . . .There was a time in my life when I walked through the world known to myself and others as an athlete. It was part of my own definition of who I was and certainly the part I most respected. When I was a young man, I was well-built and agile and ready for the rough and tumble of games, and athletics provided the single outlet for a repressed and preternaturally shy boy to express himself in public....I lost myself in the beauty of sport and made my family proud while passing through the silent eye of the storm that was my childhood." So begins Pat Conroy's journey back to 1967 and his startling realization "that this season had been seminal and easily the most consequential of my life.

Radical Kindness
By Santomero, Angela
The beloved creator of Blues Clues and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and protg of Fred Rogers explores the importance of kindness and how it can change your life in this essential guide and tie-in to the PBS special, "The Power of Radical Kindness."Angela C. Santomero, the creator, executive producer, and head writer of many of today's most popular educational children's shows believes in the radical power of kindness, on her shows, and in her life. Inspired by her mentor Fred Rogers, beloved host of the classic, award-winning PBS show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Angela has dedicated her life to teaching others that when you treat yourself and others with warmth, empathy, and respect, life changing benefits follows. From the true meaning of self-care and the gift of vulnerability, to the importance of active listening or the magic of asking for help, Radical Kindness goes beyond The Golden Rule and entreaties to "be nice," contending that kindness is the key to recognizing others, and ourselves, as worthy of love and understanding. Much like gratitude, Angela contends we need a kindness practice. A practice in which we learn to see with our hearts and act from a place of compassion. As the Dalai Lama says, "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." Through practicing radical kindness - toward ourselves, with loved ones, and to the world at large - we can transform ourselves, our neighborhood, and our world for the better.

Best of One Tank Trips
By Zurcher, Neil
Discover the best and most unusual getaway ideas in and around Ohio! Longtime TV travel reporter Neil Zurcher has driven more than a million miles in Ohio and nearby states to find great local travel destinations for his "One Tank Trips" reports. This book collects his all-time favorites, including . . . The world's largest indoor train display. The certified best spot in the state for stargazing. Ohio's top FREE attraction. A historic village where you can ride an authentic replica canal boat. Beautiful bridges, including the world's longest covered bridge. Two haunted state reformatories. A ride-through wildlife park with 500 exotic animals from six continents. One of the last open-air drive-in restaurants, unchanged since the 1950s. A place where you can drag-race in your family car -- legally! An Amish hardware store selling all non-electric tools, appliances, toys, and more. The only World War II submarine still in original condition. The Center of the World -- really. And dozens of other special places Neil Zurcher writes . . . I skipped over the obvious big "super" attractions because you have probably already heard about them or have been there. What I try to do is direct you to lesser known, hidden away gems in the tourist world that might not attract lots of attention, but are still very worthwhile as a place to visit. I've tried to mix in destinations that my viewers and readers have told me they also enjoyed. Whether it was a slice of real prize-winning home-made pie in a diner in Jefferson, Ohio or a chance to fly on a life-size replica of the first airplane sold by the Wright Brothers in Dayton. I show you where you can sail across tree-tops and crawl through rock caverns. There is even a park in northwest Ohio where you, and the kids, can dig for prehistoric life. No matter what you like to do on a holiday or vacation, I think you will find something in this book to excite and entertain you.

My Losing Season
By Conroy, Pat
PAT CONROY - AMERICA'S MOST BELOVED STORYTELLER - IS BACK!"I was born to be a point guard, but not a very good one. . . .There was a time in my life when I walked through the world known to myself and others as an athlete. It was part of my own definition of who I was and certainly the part I most respected. When I was a young man, I was well-built and agile and ready for the rough and tumble of games, and athletics provided the single outlet for a repressed and preternaturally shy boy to express himself in public....I lost myself in the beauty of sport and made my family proud while passing through the silent eye of the storm that was my childhood." So begins Pat Conroy's journey back to 1967 and his startling realization "that this season had been seminal and easily the most consequential of my life.

Radical Kindness
By Santomero, Angela
The beloved creator of Blues Clues and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and protg of Fred Rogers explores the importance of kindness and how it can change your life in this essential guide and tie-in to the PBS special, "The Power of Radical Kindness."Angela C. Santomero, the creator, executive producer, and head writer of many of today's most popular educational children's shows believes in the radical power of kindness, on her shows, and in her life. Inspired by her mentor Fred Rogers, beloved host of the classic, award-winning PBS show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Angela has dedicated her life to teaching others that when you treat yourself and others with warmth, empathy, and respect, life changing benefits follows. From the true meaning of self-care and the gift of vulnerability, to the importance of active listening or the magic of asking for help, Radical Kindness goes beyond The Golden Rule and entreaties to "be nice," contending that kindness is the key to recognizing others, and ourselves, as worthy of love and understanding. Much like gratitude, Angela contends we need a kindness practice. A practice in which we learn to see with our hearts and act from a place of compassion. As the Dalai Lama says, "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." Through practicing radical kindness - toward ourselves, with loved ones, and to the world at large - we can transform ourselves, our neighborhood, and our world for the better.
