Book Description
Benjamin Justice used to be one of Los Angeles's most respected journalists, but a scandal over invented sources cost him the Pulitzer, his job and his reputation. With his life in ruins, he's spent much of the past decade slowly piecing it back together. Now he's under contract to write his biography, but the writing is going slowly and he's in need of a job to tide him over financially. So when Bruce Bibby, a freelance writer, is murdered during an apparent burglary, Bibby's uncompleted assignment for the city of West Hollywood is a much needed opportunity for Justice. Hired to complete the dead man's assignment-researching and writing a booklet on the city's historically relevant buildings - Justice resists becoming involved in the murder investigation, wanting only to maintain his quiet, stable life. But it's not going to be that easy. There's a fight brewing over the fate of a set of rundown cottages - some believe them historically significant and wish to preserve them, others want them torn down to make way for a new condo project and both sides see Justice's pamphlet as the key to winning the fight. As Justice tries to go about his business, he finds himself intrigued by the complexities of the murder case - the young Russian immigrant tied to the Bibby murder scene may be damned by his father's notorious crimes; the detective leading the murder investigation is quietly searching for her own long missing father; the owner of the houses in question, the would-be developer, and their main opposition all share a secret connection that dates back nearly three decades. When the leader of the local preservation group is found murdered on the grounds of the controversial cottages, Justice must unravel the secrets that surround the murders or let an innocent suffer for another's crimes.

Justice Subdued.......2007-08-06
Wilson changed publishers, so he had to change the way his books were named-- though a good title for this one might have been Justice Subdued.
Benjamin is on Prozac, recovering from the trauma he went through in Blind Eye, and so the book just didn't have the impact the others had, until very late in the game, when he dumps his Prozac down the toilet and gets more in touch with his feelings. Still a great book and highly recommended, though in my opinion not as strong as the five that preceded it.

Well written, yet not my favorite.......2006-07-05
This is one of the more densely written Justice novels, and one of the least easy to predict endings. On the other hand, it just isn't as spell binding or shocking as previous efforts by the author. I was interested, not captivated. It helps if you are interested in historical preservation and the use of West Hollywood as a vehicle for delving into oppression, discrimination and growth toward freedom. I'm looking forward to moving onto Rhapsody after reading the full series back to back.

buy this book.......2005-04-27
I grew up and lived and worked in West Hollywood most of my life (I now live in Laguna Beach) and this is one of the very, very few books which captures the feel of the WeHo I knew. Mr. Wilson is a wonderful writer and this is the best of the Justice series. I don't know Mr. Wilson so this is a review from the heart. But it, you'll like it. Made me homesick... a little.
Seeking Justice?.......2005-03-16
As Moth and Flame begins, the battle scarred, world weary Benjamin Justice, star of five previous Wilson novels, is currently stymied in his attempt to craft a memoir. Needing a job to provide money and distraction, he agrees to complete the work of one Bruce Bibby, a wheelchair bound author who was murdered before he could finish a short history of the architecture of his home city of West Hollywood, CA. Throwing himself into the project, Justice discovers that the history is the subject of much contention, as it may influence a decision to tear down some historic structures in a run down part of town. Justice finds himself caught in the middle of the battle between the preservationists and developers, his reporter's instincts screaming at him that there's more to the story behind Bibby's death. The only problem with listening to his instincts is that they're placing him squarely in harm's way.
It's hard to predict how readers will react to a character as complex as Justice--one suspects that they'll either love him or hate him, there's plenty of reasons for either stand. Like him or not, however, you can't help but be fascinated by him and the world he inhabits; Wilson makes effective use of both his supporting cast, and of the colorful West Hollywood environs where Justice makes his home. It's this attention to detail, combined with Wilson's evocative writing and focus on compelling social issues, that elevate Moth and Flame far above the average mystery novel.
"Old places, they remind us where we came from".......2005-02-10
We last met the resourceful Benjamin Justice just six months ago in Blind Eye where he suffered a terrible beating and was violently blinded in one eye. In Moth and Flame, Benjamin is on the mend, but he continues to be haunted by the scandal, which long ago cost him the Pulitzer Prize and his job as a journalist. Approaching middle age, HIV positive, and existing hand to mouth, Ben is still living in the studio apartment behind his older friends Maurice and Fred in West Hollywood, and relying on the support of his best friend, Los Angeles Times journalist Alexandra Templeton.
Forced to rely on Prozac to give him some emotional stability, Ben has had six months of peace, but his creative drive has been dulled along with his libido. He's just "a washed up reporter who's facing middle-age, with a receding hairline and a bank account." But when Bruce Bibby, a West Hollywood city worker and paraplegic is brutally murdered in his apartment, Ben is given the opportunity of taking over his job. Bruce was writing and researching a controversial booklet on the city's historically relevant buildings, and Ben throws himself into the task of finishing the booklet with all the enthusiasm he can muster.
Initially, he is reluctant to get caught up in Bruce's murder inquiry, but as usual he can't resist delving into the mystery, and is soon drawn into an investigation that involves shady real estate deals, dirty local politics, the Russian Immigrant community, and the fate of a series of run-down cottages. Some members of the community - led by a local activist woman - think the cottages are historically worth preserving, while others, in particular a couple of wealthy local gay businessmen, want to tear them down to make way for a new condominium project.
Lots of wonderfully three-dimensional characters are woven into the narrative, as Ben, along with Alexandra Templeton, and Mira De Marco, a feisty gay cop, work against time to uncover the murder and stop the young, impressionable Victor Androvic from being framed for Bruce's murder. Author, John Morgan Wilson just keeps getting better and better with this series. Moth and Flame is marvelously structured with a terrific sense of pacing as it tells an often-enthralling story of the rootlessness of families and neighborhoods, and the sometimes-tenuous alliances that different members of the community engage in for survival.
Moth and Flame is just as violent, emotionally honest, and sexually frank as the other books in the Benjamin Justice series, but now Justice is getting a bit too old to be beaten up and thrown around. Ben's a rough, troubled, contradictory, and sometimes complex guy who lives in a tough world, and Wilson doesn't mince words in writing about his life. Ben is still trying to come to terms with his violent murder of his father and also make sense of the complex web of issues that have had to do with the relationships he has fallen into.
Moth and Flame is also a novel about West Hollywood, and its often-disparate, mismatched community. Ben has been having a love-hate relationship with this city, but by the end of the novel, he seems to have come to terms with his hesitations and uncertainties. Maybe in the next installment, Justice - at forty-five, who views himself as middle aged and balding - may even find true love again. But he is going to have to watch himself and stay away from the conflicted and troubled young men that have so often plagued his life. Mike Leonard February 05.

A better synopsis than Amazon's.......1998-07-02
This book primarily focuses on the exploits of the Gryphon, the mysterious lion-bird and ally of Cabe Bedlam. The Gryphon--accompanied by Morgis, a drake--journeys to the land of his creation to uncover the secrets of his past...and confront a force of incredible power and evil.

Book Description
The bible used by heart patients and recommended by thousands of hospitals, The Road to a Healthy Heart is the cardiac patient's step-by-step guide to cooking and eating in the real world. Born out of Joe Piscatella's own experience of coming back from emergency bypass surgery—and his wife's determination to gather the recipes and prepare the foods that would keep her husband alive—this is a complete 10-years-in-the-making revision of the classic Don't Eat Your Heart Out Cookbook.
With: Silver Dollar Pancakes, Grilled Steak and Onion Salad, Tex-Mex Pizza, Linguine with Clam Sauce, Warm Caramel Pears, and Apple Cranberry Crisp.
The furthest thing from a diet of deprivation, these 30 family-friendly, Mediterranean-style recipes will help you prevent, manage and perhaps even reverse heart disease, lose weight and keep it off, and enjoy the double benefit of good health and good cheer.
Customer Reviews:
Family Physisian recommends.......2006-12-02
As a practicing Family Physician, I have been recommending this Book to my patients. The book has 2 sections, the first part is an excellent resource of helpful information regarding coronary artery disease and dietary and lifestyle changes helpful in improving the health of the heart. The writing is easy to understand and backed by solid research. I would not call this a diet book so much as a Lifestyle change book based on a healthy Mediterranean approach to eating. I have tried a couple of the recipes so far and found them delicious. I highly recommend this book.
Culinary choice = health and heart condition.......2006-03-12
THE ROAD TO A HEALTHY HEART provides cardiac patients and their loved ones with a step-by-step guide to cooking which links culinary issues with health and heart connections, and represents a complete revision of the classic DON'T EAT YOUR HEART OUT COOKBOOK - a revision some ten years in the making. The Piscatella diet is at the heart of the matter and while 300 recipes pack ROAD TO A HEALTHY HEART, plenty of details on diet and nutrition are included too. A 'must' for any serious about health.
Heart-worthy.......2006-02-28
This is the book for those looking for a sensible and doable approach to a heart-healthy lifestyle. There is plenty of detailed yet understandable information about your heart and how to treat it. The recipes provide flavor with their healthfulness. If you want a book with the facts without the fluff, this is the one to get.
The book is nothing more than a "talking points memo" for the FDA.......2006-01-30
Very disappointed in his research. All of his studies were conducted by a government research group of somekind.
Mr. Piscatella states on page 51 that he recommends Canola Oil. Really? Is he not aware that Canola was developed from the rape seed and is thus unsuited for human consumption. Why? because it contains a long-chain fatty acid called erucic acid, which under some circumstances is associated with fibrotic heart lesions coupled with a very high sulphur content and goes rancid easily (Nourishing Traditions, 2001). Not to mention Mr. Piscatella condemns tropical oils which are high in lauric acid which are not only stable at high temperatures but has high antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Guess where lauric acid also can be found? Mother's milk and we certainly don't condemn that.........yet!
On cholesterol, he's just wrong. Or should I say the FDA is wrong. On page 21 Mr. Piscatella emphasizes the importance of LDL and HDL ratios. This is a typical FDA propaganda tool. In the book, The Cholesterol Myths by Uffe Ravnshov, MD,PhD, Mr. Ravnshov states, "LDL-cholesterol is neither centrally nor causally important, it has not the strongest and most consistent relationship to risk of CHD, it has not a direct relationship to the rate of CHD, and it has not been studied in more than a dozen randomized trials..."
Mr. Piscatella is mistaken regarding soy. He never distinguishes the difference between fermented soy products (tofu, miso) and unfermented soy products (soy milk). Asians rarely consume unfermented soy products, if at all.
One thing Mr. Piscatella is correct on is the importance of triglyceride levels and margarine and shortening products. Those products should be banned.
In my opinion, I would take this book and do almost the opposite it says and recommend the book, Nourishing Traditions, Sally Fallon/Mary Enig, Ph.D.
Good, healthy advice in simple terms : - ).......2006-01-28
I like Joe Piscatella because he explains things in an easy to understand, clear manner. He is very health concious himself, because when he was 32, he had triple bypass surgery. He was on the tennis court on a Monday and then the Wednesday on the operating table. This completely changed him and his life and learned everything he could to help himself beat the odds.
He talks here in laymans terms to explain why we should avoid butter and use soft margarine. Why to avoid white bread and use wholewheat or multigrain instead. Why to eat fresh fish and why you can (only from time to time) fry foods if they are done in a non-stick pan with olive oil. He says that there should be no sodas because he believes that's why we are primarily overweight.
He says we think too much about foods we can't eat and don't think about those that we can eat and he says there are plenty we can eat. Beautiful coloured fruits and vegetables because they have anti oxidents and help prevent heart disease and cancers and these foods should be the center of how we eat.
Anyway, if I go on, you may not need to read this book, but I will say that apart from all the good information in here that I've mentioned, it also has really nice recipes that are easy to follow. The classic pasta salad recipe and the cranberry crisp are two that I've tried and loved. I can't wait to try more because it's showed me that there are healthy foods out there that can taste great (Now if only I could give up Coca Cola!!!). Highly recommended book.

There is a calmness to this book, and it comes from an assured knowledge rising out of the kind of scholarship that sets aside popular mythology in favor of the ways things actually are and have been. No U.S. region suffers more from popular mythology, some of it benign, much of it mocking and cruel, than the South. Author-editor John T. Edge encourages the reader of A Gracious Plenty to taste the South for what it is and has been. The book has the backing of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi. In his introduction, Center director Charles Reagan Wilson points to the Southern Thanksgiving of his father-in-law, a native Mississippian who happens to be Lebanese. Both deep-fried turkey and kibbe are served, with stuffed grape and cabbage leaves as well as oyster dressing and sweet potato casserole. The heritage, he writes, is strictly Southern.
The recipes are drawn from community cookbooks--"those clunky, spiral-bound, gravy-spattered volumes." While they get little respect, these volumes are an important part of the Southern kitchen and food tradition. The earliest ones date back to the Civil War and then as now were published to raise funds for a cause. Apparently, by the close of the 19th century, more than 2,000 community cookbooks were in print. Edge rightly points out that recipes gathered into a community cookbook are never authored by one, but by many. In effect, he encourages the reader to pull a seat up to the Southern table. Many of the voices heard in A Gracious Plenty come from material gathered by writers and journalists between 1935 and 1942 working for the Federal Writers Project.
The recipes are divided into sections that include appetizers, beverages, breads, salads and dressings, sides and vegetables, soups and stews, meats, poultry, fish and seafood, sauces, preserves, jellies and pickles, desserts, and a final section on menus. These are home recipes, church-basement recipes, proud recipes. They taste like reality made up of pain and hospitality and careless laughter. A Gracious Plenty is a wonderful book and an important addition to anyone's cookbook library. --Schuyler Ingle
Book Description
A beautiful book, featuring hundreds of classic recipes, that captures the essence of Southern foodways.
In the tradition of The Junior League Centennial Cookbook, The Black Family Reunion Cookbook, and the regional and community cookbooks that are treasured by millions of home cooks, A Gracious Plenty is an exuberant celebration of the food and culinary traditions that define the character of the American South.
The more than 400 recipes--culled from community cookbooks representing a diversity of geographical and social influences--are only the first layer in this richly textured work. Throughout the book, evocative essays recall the distinctive food myths and stories of the South. Among the contributors, B. B. King remembers his sharecropping family; Roy Blount, Jr., talks of his mother's giblet and red-eye gravies; Edna Lewis praises dandelion greens and poke "sallet"; and Shelby Foote tells of buying hot tamales from a street vendor. These, and dozens of other meal memories, are testaments to the importance of family, community, and the gracious plenty of food in the South. Index.

A treasury of the best of old-time southern recipes.......2001-06-23
This is a cookbook I turn to all the time. I get homesick for the South (where I grew up) whenever I look at these evocative black-and-white photos that reveal vistas into the Southern way of life -- the church supper, the front porch where someone sits shelling beans, the hot and steamy kitchen where dinner rolls sit rising. I also love reading the reminiscences in this book written by various Southerners. All the essays make my heart ache, but one especially took me back, to the long hot summer I spent in the poor black town of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, in the midst of the civil rights struggles of the Freedom Riders. Most importantly, these recipes are real, culled from community cookbooks, and representative of the best of Southern cooking, from humble water-and-cornmeal cakes to the ethereal Forgotten Kisses served at the finest luncheons. Just the other evening, I made Aunt Effie's Custard Johnny Cake for the first time, having heard it described as one of the best recipes in the collection, and I have decided that this one recipe alone is worth the price of the book! Mmmmm-mmmmm. This book is a must-have for lovers of good Southern food.
True Southern Hospitality!.......2001-03-26
This cookbook, A Gracious Plenty, was definitely all about true Southern recipes. Recipes for Souse (the South's original form of Scrapple), Hog's Head Cheese, Smothered Doves, Casserole of Possum, Boudin, and Cracklin's have some ingredients in them that I personally may not eat (like hog's heads, pig's skin, or just a mixture of water and pork fat to eat as a snack) but they are some sure Suthern favorites. Other recipes include: Spiced Pecans, Tomato Sandwiches, Sun Tea, Planter's Punch, Mint Julep, Hot-Water Cornbread, Sally Lunn Bread, Hush Puppies, Festive corn and Black-Eyed Pea Salad, Buttermilk-Garlic Dressing, Succotash, Corn Fritters, Fried Grits, Louisiana Seafood Gumbo, Southern Catfish Stew, Chicken-Fried Steak, Jambalaya, Pigs' Feet, Fried Chicken, Chicken and Dumplings, Oyster Po'boy Loaf, Fried Catfish, Watermelon Rind Pickles, Chow-Chow, Mississippi Mud Cake, Coca Cola Cake, Peach Pie, and Creole Pralines.
There are litterally hundreds of recipes sprawled out onto these pages with as many as four on a page with a few needing the page turned, which is my cardinal sin. Most of the recipes are easy to follow and easy to make with only a few needing ingredients that may not be readily available in your local markets. Some of the recipes are time consuming but have incredible ending results. I am sure this cookbook will look much better printed in color, as it is supposed to be, even with the many black & white photographs that are scattered throughout the pages. I am quite sure that most of the recipes will destroy my low-cholesterol and blood-pressure lowering meals that I am supposed to now be eating but my taste buds will be thanking me.
Southern food is unmatched in taste and culture............2000-09-14
As a reformed "Yankee" and a student of the Univeristy of Mississippi I have had the great pleasure of living in the south for the last four years. The south is a culture of small towns and their dinner tables and southern food is literally a story of life told on the kitchen table. A story about the many cultures that were mixed together and the wonderful cream that rose to the top to create the wonderful recipes that exist today.
I am a good cook so says my husband and cook books for me are a passion. However, this book in particular reminds me each time I pick it up of four wonderful years lived in the gracious palm of the south and of the hearts of the many people I have gotten to know. As we move on (a military family) I can open this book and truly remember a place I have come to call home. There's a saying down here for Yankee's "I wasn't born in the south, but I got here as fast as I could."
This book is a wonderful gift to any graduate of a southern school or for any southern bride. But most of all for anyone who wants a taste of the south and a good story to read. Also, rest assured that Ole Miss would not blindly stamp their seal of approval on something that was not the finest example of southern culture.
I can smell the memories..........2000-08-05
I really loved this cookbook-but I also really loved this BOOK. This book brings back so many memories of my childhood in my grandmothers kitchen-from summer picnics up to the mountains, Sunday dinners after church, pickles in the summer and fruitcake at Christmas---And who can forget those family reunions!!!! This cookbook has so much history. I love reading and rereading the info for the recipes also. The only problem is that I can think of many many recipes that should also be remembered... Maybe we can look forward to a sequel?
very good food.......2000-06-23
I got this book from the library, but my friends have loved the results so much that I had to buy it for myself. I've enjoyed the recipes, although I haven't taken the time to read all the extra things in there yet. Maybe I'll do that next time I make the 100 Year Old Blueberry Cake.

Book Description
Badly burned in a household accident when she was a child, Finch Nobles grows into a courageous and feisty loner who eschews the pity of her hometown and discovers that she can hear the voices of the people buried in her father's cemetery. Finally, when she speaks to them, they answer, telling their stories in a remarkable chorus of regrets, expla-nations, and insights.
A Gracious Plenty is like an extraordinary amalgam of Steinbeck and Faulkner, Spoon River Anthology and Our Town. It is a reading experience that you will not soon forget.

Great book, great author.......2007-06-08
I very much enjoyed this book. I'm in the process of hunting down all of her books.
The best.......2006-07-31
This is by far my favorite book and I have read tons. I so wish should write a sequel or another like it. It was like leaving a good friend when I finished it.
A Gracious Plenty.......2006-04-04
This book should be put on your shelf of southern writers, right between William and Flannery. It is a story of a girl who becomes a bit of a grotesque through an accident. She becomes the primary caretaker of a cemetary, and is so in tune with the deceased that she can communicate and see them. This gift makes for a fine story. The description here is achingly beautiful, especially when Reynolds discusses nature. It is strangely comforting to those who have recently lost loved ones, too.
we all have stories to tell.......2005-12-02
This book spoke to me from the library shelf and I read it in two days with a toddler in the house. LOL The main character learns lessons from the dead and the main lesson; is that we all have stories to tell and not to be so quick to judge. I loved that all the characters grew in one form or another.
I'd never heard of the book, nor the author, but I thought the author did a fantastic job at giving each character their own identity and having them tell their stories in their own way. I strongly suggest reading this book.
What a book!.......2005-10-17
I was first acquainted with Sheri Reynolds' writing when I read The Rapture of Canaan. It has remained one of my favorite books for years and I've read it over and over.
Being such a fan of the author, I moved on to Bittersweet Landing....and hated it! However, I still had enough love for the author to try out this book, A Gracious Plenty.
I was not disappointed this time! The characters were deep and interesting and the memory of their stories will not leave me soon. This is the type of book that you continue to think about long after you've turned the last page.

A Gracious Plenty is a children's picture book I wrote and illustrated about my great aunt May Zeigler who lived alone, but had many treasures that we, her great nieces loved - her books, her life's experiences and stories, and her pleasant home that we visited almost every day. May came to our home often, especially after church on Sunday, and my memories of her are vivid, and will never be forgotten. She was born in 1882, graduated with a masters degree from Columbia University in New York City, taught psychology for many years at the University of Georgia in Athens, and retired to Orangeburg, SC. Her life was rich and she shared much with her family. She had, she said,
