the-body-broken

As I was getting ready for work this morning, I caught the first half of a Good Morning America segment on Lynne Greenberg’s new memoir, The Body Broken. Some of us have been in Greenberg’s shoes… 30 to 50 million in fact. That’s the number of Americans who have suffered from chronic pain. Since my own personal experience with this issue has been on the more tolerable end of the spectrum, listening to Greenberg’s story I felt both empathetic and very lucky. Having suffered a broken neck she thought had healed during a car accident at age 19, Greenberg chronicles the physical agony she experienced years later when her pain suddenly began and her determination to put mind over matter and get her life back. With 30 to 50 million who can relate, chances are some of them are your patrons so pick up a copy of this memoir today.  

Watch the GMA video and read an excerpt of the book here.

While on vacation I dipped into Robyn O’Brien’s book The Unhealthy Truth: How Our Food is Making us Sick — And What We Can Do About It. After her daughter’s severe allergic reaction to eggs, O’Brien began researching why so many more children have food allergies today than they have in previous decades. Available in May, this book is mix of mom anecdotes and interesting facts, perfect for fans of Fast Food Nation and health-conscious eaters. Check out the author’s website for more information including clips of features on Good Morning America and The CBS Evening News.

A must read book for the organic obsessed, the diet depressed, and the everyday food lover, who wants to separate nutritional sense from nonsense.  Library Journal recently had a Q&A with the author of AN APPLE A DAY, Dr. Joe Schwarcz.

My favorite quote from the interview: “An overall balanced diet allows for a few excursions into the tunnel of nutritional horrors.”
