For bird lovers young and old, this book demonstrates the relationship between one parrot and his family. Pierre, the African grey, says greetings, makes contact calls, requests food, comments on events, and even gives commands to the poodle. Do parrots and other birds in the wild use specific sounds to communicate the same messages in bird sounds? Ornithologists have found that birds do "talk" to each other in their own way. Deon Matzen's charming illustrations bring Pierre to life in this delightfully illustrated account of the bird's communication to his family.

There’s a quiet revolution happening: almost half of all Americans now die in hospice care, often at home, and a vast industry has sprung up to meet the growing demand. Once viewed with suspicion, hospice has become a $14 billion-a-year business and arguably the most successful segment of American health care. Award-winning journalists Fran Smith and Sheila Himmel take a sweeping look at what hospice means today.

Katie hadn't been prepared for what was in the dusty old trunk in her Grandmother Rebecca's attic: old letters and a beautiful homemade patchwork quilt, each colorful patch weaving together the fabric of Rebecca's tumultuous and exciting past. As Katie reads these poignant letters, she is confronted with startling revelations about her strong-willed grandmother who immigrated in 1894 from Northern Ireland to the home of her brother in Massachusetts. Katie learns of the desperate decision Rebecca made which caused her neighbors to shun her, of Rebecca's struggle to keep her daughter's love, of Rebecca's falling in love and being unable-or unwilling-to marry her lover, and a jealous family member determined to destroy her at any cost. Will Rebecca's plans for revenge be successful, or will she lose everything she's worked for, everything dear to her?
