PASSION IN PROVENCE: Ben and Lee Alto follow Van Gogh's 19th century path to Provence, hoping to find inspiration for their own lives and give their son, Misha, some insight into a world completely different from their own. They find art, of course, and a world of beautiful landscapes, warm temperatures, and, yes, wonderful food. But they also find a ghost of their past, and it's not Vincent Van Gogh but a woman Ben once loved and a man, Zach, a well-known jazz musician, who teach them some hard lessons about art and life, as well as the art of life. A SUMMER OF GOOD-BYES resonates with the warmth of France's southern sun, famous artists, and violent conflicts. It's a vital, romantic story filled with the tensions of love and marriage, sexual longing and family loyalty, and the struggle to live in the face of impending death and loss.

Jamie Sasso finds herself alone, with no family or home. Cast adrift by a distant cousin in another state, she finds she cannot tolerate her county's foster care program. But where can she live, how can she feed herself, and in what way can she plan her future? Will she even have a future? A PONTIAC IN THE WOODS explores those issues and raises meaningful questions about them. With the help of a social worker, Mr. Santa, Misha, a young man she meets at a dance, and her school's track coach she begins to find her way. But the way is never smooth. More important she cannot find for sure where that way will lead. This is a young woman's rude, sometimes primitive narrative that packs a surprising punch.
