“The simple act of cooking connects us deeply to our roots, cultures, and communities. Melissa Clark’s Dinner in an Instant cookbook is a fine trove of modern recipes for any home cook (like me!) who uses a pressure cooker, multicooker, or Instant Pot.” – Taylor Borda, Manager, Consumer Marketing

“I’ve been reading (and loving) Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker. This is the true story of the Galvin family, who had 12 children between the years of 1945-1965. Later in life, by the mid-1970s, 6 out of the 10 boys were diagnosed with schizophrenia. They became one of the first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental Health and really helped, quite unknowingly, with opening treatment options for others dealing with schizophrenia. This is a story that deals with suffering and hope, but is told with compassion and care, and Kolker is a master of narrative nonfiction.” – Daniela Ayuso, Assistant Digital Marketing Manager, Doubleday
