John earned his undergraduate degree in Theater at Cal Poly, and directed a theater company in Los Angeles for several years before moving to Colorado with Focus on the Family, where he taught at the Focus on the Family Institute. But their romance did not begin until they each came to faith in Christ, after high school. John met his wife Stasi in high school (in drama class). John grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles (which he hated), and spent his boyhood summers on his grandfather’s cattle ranch in eastern Oregon (which he loved).

John Eldredge is an author (you probably figured that out), a counselor, and teacher. Smith’s deadpan title is itself racially freighted: we can’t think about one set of fifties images, of Martians and sci-fi comics, without conjuring another, of black kids in the segregated South." Reception "The issues of power and paternalism suggest the deep ways in which this is a book about race. Her father had been a scientist who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope and "Smith cannot think about without thinking in galactic dimensions, which, paradoxically, minimize him: drawn to that scale, individual lives (even his) can seem puny, and private traumas (even hers) inconsequential." Ĭhiasson also points to the Martian reference's callback to the culture of the 1950s. Writing in The Washington Post, Troy Jollimore advised readers "had better be prepared to face some stark metaphysical questions.An awareness of death permeates Life on Mars." In The New Yorker, Dan Chiasson described Life on Mars as "Smith’s wild, far-ranging elegy" for her father who died in 2008. Smith published the 88-page collection with Graywolf Press in 2011. The collection is an elegy for her father, a scientist who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Smith for which she won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize. Life on Mars is a poetry collection by Tracy K. Also, I always find it intriguing to explore a character who starts off as an antagonist in one circumstance but transforms into a protagonist when the POV turns to that individual in a new environment and set of circumstances, thus, making her an even more layered character altogether.Įssentially, this story was an age-gap, second chance, and a totally unexpected romance between Trent, a 40-year-old divorce lawyer, who was still licking her wounds, mentally and emotionally, even years after she and Becca ended their relationship, and Wendy, a 26-year-old “ au pair” aka nanny, who left the country to nurse her heartbreak 5 years ago and only just returned to London after working as a nanny to various families from different countries. Needless to say, I enjoyed exploring Trent’s back story and what made her who she was. And voila! Before I knew it, Frame announced that she would write a spin-off with Trent as the MC! Thus born this Book 2 of the Unexpected Romance series. In the story, there was an antagonistic character, Trent, who was one of the MCs’ ( Becca) ex, who really piqued my curiosity as I thought there was potential in expanding her storyline. Jenny Frame‘s latest work, “ Someone To Love,” is a spin-off of her previous book, “ Unexpected,” which I really enjoyed very much specifically because of the originality of the story and how Frame executed it with heartwarming resonance.

HHS/USDA staff supporting the effort are an incredible resource! Wow!Ģ-year process is off to a great start! /6Cx5npxJcH Here’s the committee, courtesy of a tweet from Christopher Gardner.Ĭommittee members are a pleasure to work with – thoughtful, critical, informed group. Why “disclosed” in quotes? Because the agencies’ disclosure statement lists the combined conflicts for the entire group, not for individual members of the committee. Why strange? Because the Nutrition Coalition has long urged relaxations on advice about dietary fat, whereas CSPI has long urged restrictions. In a strange partnership, the Nutrition Coalition and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) are jointly complaining about the way the USDA and HHS have “disclosed” conflicts of interest among members of the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.
