"In 1963, the savvy owners of the Cove Haven Resort in the Poconos unveiled their heart-shaped tub. ...

A dazzling and evocative novel about love and loss--with a dash of thrilling mystery--for fans of Mindy McGinnis and Courtney Summers. Left partially deaf by an early childhood tragedy that ended in her father's incarceration, seventeen-year-old Owl is now a tracker, an explorer, a wildlife enthusiast, and always her freest self while hiking the steep forested acres surrounding her aunt and uncle's maple sugar farm, now her home. Owl and her aunt and uncle never speak of the brutal attack that brought her to them. On the day she confronts a stranger trespassing among the maples, Owl's sheltered existence is blown wide open by Cody--the magnetic, dangerous young man hired to help with the sugaring off. Cody seems to see her, the real her, in a way no one else does. Together, they challenge each other, learn to question their preconceptions, and risk a romance their families are desperate to stop. But when Owl learns that some part of Cody is compelled toward self-destruction, she must make a difficult decision about their relationship at the same time she's grappling with her father's recent release from prison. And when a seemingly motiveless local murder draws attention to Cody, Owl realizes that Cody is in far more serious trouble than anyone knows--and it's followed him to her mountain.

"In What We Sow, Jennifer Jewell brings readers on an insightful, year-long journey exploring the outsize impact one of nature's smallest manifestations--the simple seed. She examines our skewed notions where "organic" seeds are grown and sourced, reveals how giant multinational agribusiness has refined and patented the genomes of seeds we rely on for staples like corn and soy, and highlights the efforts of activists working to regain legal access to heirloom seeds that were stolen from Indigenous peoples and people of color. Throughout, readers are invited to share Jewell's personal observations as she marvels at the glory of nature in her Northern California hometown.

It urgently proves that we must work hard to preserve and protect the great natural diversity of seed."--

“You probably haven’t encountered many books like You Are What You Watch. It convinced me that we take pop culture too much for granted, and the footprint it leaves in everything from our bodily health to how we name our kids.”                                      --Nate Silver, founder of acclaimed data site FiveThirtyEight The average American spends more than a fifth of their life watching movies and TV, reading books, and listening to music. Consuming media, in other words. We tend to dismiss this as mere diversion, as if when we walk out of a theater we go back to being exactly who we were. In fact, the opposite is the case. The media we consume, and the act of consuming it, has incontrovertible effects on people, on culture—on the world—that are complex, fascinating, profound, and unexpected. In You Are What You Watch, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Walt Hickey explores exactly how this thing we blithely call “entertainment” has such a tremendous effect on us. Through compelling reporting and research and the creation of dozens and dozens of colorful data visuals, Hickey shows how something like a movie or TV show not only has a direct physical effect on the viewer—how the chemistry of our breath changes with a movie’s ups and downs, or a scary scene can be literally bloodcurdling—but also has a measurable impact on society, politics, the economy, and even the future. Some effects are simply happy—look at the correlation between characters’ names and the trends in baby names. Some quite sad—shark populations sharply decreased after Jaws. Some prove that there’s a blurry line between fiction and reality—both British and American spy services have poached ideas from the James Bond franchise. Some are so direct that the film feels like an advertisement—navy recruitment rates shot up after Top Gun. And some are so counterintuitive that they bring fresh insights to the deeper currents in our world—like how violent movies can actually lead to less real-world violence (because people who sit in theaters watching violent movies aren’t out on the streets committing crimes). From how media, and not NASA, got Americans to believe in space travel to the surprising light professional wrestling sheds on creative work environments, You Are What You Watch tells truths that are even more compelling than the made-up stories that inspired them.
