In the days of rain : a daughter, a father, a cult / by Stott, Rebecca,author.(CARDINAL)382546;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-308).Reckoning -- Before -- During -- Aftermath."Rebecca Stott both adored and feared her father, Roger Stott, a high-ranking minister in the Brighton, England, branch of the Exclusive Brethren, a separatist fundamentalist Christian sect. A man of contradictions, he preached that the Brethren should shun the outside world, which was ruled by Satan, yet he kept a radio in the trunk of his car and read Shakespeare and Yeats. Years later, when the Stotts broke with the Brethren after a scandal involving the cult's leader, Roger became an actor and compulsive gambler who left the family penniless and ended up in jail....In the Days of Rain is Rebecca Stott's attempt to make sense of her childhood in the Exclusive Brethren, to understand her father's role in the cult and in the breaking apart of her family, and to come to be at peace with her relationship with a larger-than-life figure whose faults were matched by a passion for life, a thirst for knowledge, and a love of literature and beauty. A father-daughter story as well as a memoir of growing up in a closed-off community and then finding a way out of it, this is an inspiring and beautiful account of the bonds of family and the power of self-invention."--Jacket.

Fed, white, and blue : finding America with my fork / by Majumdar, Simon,author.(CARDINAL)494039;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-308).Are you planning to become a U.S. citizen? For Simon Majumdar, it wasn't an easy question. As a British ex=pat living in L.A. and fiercely proud of his roots, he felt that if he was going to trade in his green card, it ought to really mean something. What makes one American, anyway? He thought he should at least understand that before making up his mind. So, to find out, he set off on a journey to discover America using what he knows best: food. Over the course of a year, Simon crisscrossed the United States, stopping in locales such as Plymouth, Massachusetts, to learn about what the pilgrims ate (and that playing Wampanoag football with large men is to be avoided); Kansas, for Shabbat dinner; Wisconsin, to make cheese (and get sprayed with hot whey in the process); Alaska, to fish for salmon alongside a grizzly bear; and Los Angeles, to cook at a Filipino restaurant in the hope of making his in-laws proud. Along the way he makes some friends and digs in to the food cultures that make up America--brewing beer, farming, working at a food bank, and even tailgating. Full of heart, humor, history, and, of course, food, Fed, White, and Blue is a warm funny and inspiring portrait of becoming an American in the twenty-first century.
