Training in Charity, Antique, The West Facade, St. Clair butterfly Foundation, and The Secret History of French Cooking.

Training in Charity by Dr. Allen Saxon is loosely based on the author's own medical school experience, capturing what is meant to begin a life in medicine before computers and tech softened the edges.

Antique by Seth Panitch shares a tale of second chances, family, and the overarching question we find ourselves asking, what am I worth in the end.

The West Facade by Lauren Johnson shares the recent rise in popularity of fiction, a novel about a cathedral statue that discovers what it means to be human that faces an impossible choice.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we speak with Chip and Lisa St. Clair about their efforts statewide focused on saving and serving kids and everyone who has experienced trauma. We talk with the St. Clair's about the St. Clair Butterfly Foundation, the Butterfly book and more.

It's a deeply revealing account of how French cuisine remade itself and food culture around the world. We talk to the author of The Secret History of French Cooking, bestselling author and James Beard Foundation Award nominee, Luke Barr.
