Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal 

Midwestern chef Lars Thorvald has three loves in his life: his kitchen, his wife, Cynthia, and his newborn daughter, Eva. When Cynthia falls in love with a dashing sommelier, he’s left to raise Eva on his own, and devotes his life to sharing his culinary passions with his only child. After a childhood shaken by tragedy, Eva will find solace and salvation in the flavors of her native Minnesota. She is blessed with a once-in-a-generation palate and ultimately becomes the mysterious chef behind the most sought-after dinner reservation in the country.

Ghost Hunters: William James and the search for scientific proof of life after death by Deborah Blum

What if a world -renowned philosopher and professor of psychiatry at Harvard suddenly announced he believed in ghosts? At the close of the nineteenth century, the illustrious William James, brother of noted author Henry James, led a determined scientific investigation into “unexplainable” incidences of clairvoyance and ghostly visitations. James and a small group of eminent scientists staked their reputations, their careers, even their sanity on one of the most extraordinary quests ever undertaken: to empirically prove the existence of ghosts, spirits, and psychic phenomena. What they pursued, and what they found, raises questions as fascinating today as they were then.
