The very long, very strange life of Isaac Dahl : a novel / by Yates, Bart,author.(CARDINAL)542918;
At the age of ninety-six, Isaac Dahl sits down to write his memoir. For Isaac, an accomplished journalist and historian, finding the right words to convey events is never a problem. But this book will be different from anything he has written before. Focusing on twelve different days, each encapsulated in a chapter, Isaac hopes to distill the very essence of his life. There are days that begin like any other, only to morph through twists of fate. An avalanche strikes Bingham, Utah, and eight-year-old Isaac and his twin sister, Agnes, survive when they are trapped in an upside-down bathtub. Other days stand apart in history--including a day in 1942, when Isaac, stationed on the USS Houston in the Java Sea as a rookie correspondent, confronts the full horror of war. And there are days spent simply, with his lifelong friend, Bo, or with Danny, the younger man whose love transforms Isaac's later years--precious days with significance that grows clear only in hindsight. From the Oklahoma Dust Bowl to a Mississippi school at the apex of the civil rights movement, Isaac tells his story with insight, wisdom, and emotional depth. The Very Long, Very Strange Life of Isaac Dahl is a wonderful, singular narrative that will spark conversation and reflection--a reminder that there is no such thing as an ordinary life, and the greatest accomplishment of all is to live and love fully. --

Things I can't explain / by Kriegman, Mitchell,author.(CARDINAL)774283;
"She was a smart, snappy, lighthearted girl who knew it all at fourteen. Now she's a woman in her late twenties. Her searching blue eyes are more serious, but she's stil amused by the people around her. The gap-toothed smile that made her seem younger than she really was is gone, but nevertheless she always brightens up the room. Her unpredictable wardrobe rocks just as it did when she was a kid, but her fashion sense has matured, and it makes men and women turn their heads. All of Clarissa's charming obsessions--charts, graphs, and superstitions--have survived into adulthood, but they've evolved into an ever-greater need to claw the world back into control. Her quarter-life crisis has left her with a whole set of things she can't explain: an ex-boyfriend turned stalker, her parents' divorce, a micro-relationship with the cute coffee guy, java addiction, "ToFlue Glue"--and then there's Sam. Where is Sam anyway? Fans have been waiting a long time to find out what happened to Clarissa Darling. Things I Can't Explain is about knowing it all in your teens and then feeling like you know nothing in your twenties." --
