 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">Years ago\, Marina Singh traded the hard decisions and intensity of medical practice for the quieter world of research at a pharmaceutical company\, a choice that has haunted her life. Enveloping herself in safety\, limiting emotional risk\, she shares a quiet intimacy with her widowed older boss\, Mr. Fox\, and a warm friendship with her colleague Anders Eckman. But Marina's security is shaken when she learns that Anders\, sent to the Amazon to check on a field team\, is dead-and Mr. Fox wants her to go into the jungle to discover what happened. </span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">Plagued by trepidation\, yet propelled by her sense of duty\, Marina embarks on an odyssey into the unknown\, down into the Amazonian delta\, deep into the dense\, insect-infested jungle to find answers from the company's research team. Led by the formidable Dr. Annick Swenson\, the scientists are looking into the development of a new drug that could have a profound impact on Western society. But the team has been silent for two years and the daunting Dr. Swenson does not like interlopers inserting themselves in her work\, as Marina well knows. The eminent and fiercely uncompromising doctor was once her mentor\, the woman she admired\, emulated\, and feared. To fulfill her mission\, Marina must confront the ghosts of her past\, as well as unfulfilled dreams and expectations-a journey that will force her to make painful moral choices and take her deep into her own heart of darkness. </span>

 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">A rich narrative dense with atmosphere and full of deeply realized characters\, packed with amazing twists and surprises-encounters with an anaconda\, cannibals\, death\, and birth-State of Wonder is Ann Patchett's most enthralling and confident novel\, a tale that will leave readers in their own state of wonder\, examining their own values and beliefs.</span>

 <span style=\\"font-size\: medium\\"><strong>“Too Princessy!” by  Jean Reidy</strong></span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">It’s a rainy day\, but not a single toy in the toy box seems fun enough for our adventuresome little girl. She tries everything from trucks to telescopes\, puzzles to pianos\, but nothing does the trick until she lets her creative sparks fly. In the spirit of the first two charmers\, Too Purpley! and Too Pickley!\, Reidy’s sprightly text is again beautifully illustrated with Leloup’s stylish art. Preschoolers will love to see and say all the games and toys the little girl tries\, and adults will appreciate the celebration of imagination that is the best solution of all.</span>

 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">Buried in the Sky explores the intersecting lives of Chhiring Dorje Sherpa and Pasang Lama\, following them from their villages high in the Himalaya to the slums of Kathmandu\, across the glaciers of Pakistan to K2 Base Camp. When disaster strikes in the Death Zone\, Chhiring finds Pasang stranded on an ice wall\, without an axe\, waiting to die. The harrowing rescue that follows has become the stuff of mountaineering legend.</span>

 <span style=\\"color\: #808080\; font-size\: small\; background-color\: #ffffff\\">Hanging off the face of a cliff\, an ice axe the only thing between him and death\, a Sherpa climber named Chhiring Dorje swung to the left. A massive ice boulder ripped off above\, hurtling toward him.</span>

 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">Vail was developed by a group of adventurers\, men and women. Until 1970\, it was a small\, geographically isolated village\, an idea becoming a reality\, and soon to define itself in the ski world. We all lived in the same place differently\, so each of us has a different story.</span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">Several books have been written about Vail’s history\, but the women’s story had not yet been told. To realize a long-held dream\, Carolyn Pope and I have gathered memories and photographs in order to keep the women’s stories alive in print. We have published “Women of Vail – Those Who Walked This Bridge\, 1962-1970\,” the years before LionsHead and Vail’s becoming a two-village town. Each story bring to the table a reality that was Vail\, and how each of these women met the challenges of this unique community.</span>

SUMMARY:Author Event\: Michel Stone \\"The Iguana Tree\\"
DESCRIPTION:<p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\"><strong>Join us for a hosted presentation and discussion featuring author Michel Stone.  Complimentary appetizers and cash bar included.  Meet the author and discuss &quot\;A haunting tale of hope and heartbreak.&quot\; -Kirkus Reviews.</strong></span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: medium\\"><em><strong>THE IGUANA TREE</strong></em></span>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: medium\\">by Michel Stone</span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\"><img src=\\"/files/bookwormedwards/michel-stone_sm.jpg\\" hspace=\\"-1\\" vspace=\\"0\\" width=\\"307\\" height=\\"250\\" align=\\"left\\" />For Hector\, leaving behind the impoverished confines of Puerto Isadore\, Mexico\, to create a better life for himself and his family in the United States is an abiding dream. He sees America as &quot\;The Great Opportunity&quot\; and embarks on a risky border crossing to fulfill his aspiration. For Hector's wife\, Lilia\, America is the land of &quot\;The Unknown.&quot\; As she watches her husband depart\, Lilia is left to wonder what will befall Hector in that foreboding\, distant place and if they and their baby\, Alejandra\, will ever be reunited as a family.</span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">Hector's voyage to &quot\;&quot\;El Norte&quot\;&quot\; is indeed frightful. He hires a coyote to smuggle him over the border\, and for thirteen days is held in a darkened shack without knowing if his guide will get him to America\, desert him\, or kill him. During his confinement Hector befriends Miguel\, a fellow border-crosser\, and the two ultimately make it to South Carolina and find jobs as farm workers. Hector rejoices in the notion that he can start saving money to pay for Lilia and Alejandra's journey over the border.</span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">In Mexico\, Lilia grieves Hector's absence\, and her loneliness is only alleviated by the boundless love she feels for her daughter. When a friend offers Lilia the opportunity to cross\, she pounces on it-an impulsive\, fateful decision that imperils Lilia and Hector's marriage and their hopes for enrichment.</span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">Michel Stone's debut novel is a memorable portrait of love and marriage\, opportunity and consequence\, determination and toil\, goodwill and treachery. It strays-refreshingly so-from the formulaic coming-of-age story inherent in most debut novels and crafts a heart-rending\, evocative\, and measured chronicle of the mystifying &quot\;circle of life and the passions it arouse[s].&quot\;</span>
 </p>
 <p>
 <span style=\\"font-size\: small\\">Even though the topics of illegal immigration and undocumented workers in the US set the background for Stone's tale\, the book isn't overtly political. Stone's palpable\, skillful prose prevails as its principal achievement. With a precise rendering of place and character\, and a genuine\, emotional poignancy\, &quot\;The Iguana Tree&quot\; is noteworthy storytelling.</span>
