Garden-fresh recipes Spring cleaning your body

Bailey breathes new life in to classic home

To us it’s pioneering surgery.

To Abigail, it’s child’s play.

Abigail Morgan was born with a hole in her heart. Typically, that means open heart surgery. But Dr. Ali Dodge-Khatami at Children’s of Mississippi has pioneered a new technique, repairing Abigail’s heart through a small incision under her arm instead. She was home playing just four days after surgery.

The University of Mississippi Medical Center is one of the few places anywhere performing this innovative surgery. It’s one of the many ways UMMC brings leading care to Mississippians, here at home. Your donation can help change more lives just like Abigail’s.

Letter from the

Editor PRESENTS

Spring is officially here, or so I hope. Last March we did a green issue and this month we are bringing the green issue back. This time around we are focusing more on home and garden, two subjects in which I desperately need some inspiration. Ann Bailey’s home on page 18 is the perfect home to pull inspiration from to start your redecorating projects. Her home is light and airy and a perfect space for those who are hoping to achieve a beach vibe.

If you are looking for garden inspiration look no further than Melanie Mitchell’s garden story on page 30.

Her garden is proof that you don’t have to have acres upon acres to get a wonderful and enchanting garden. You might always want to try Starkville’s Town and Country Garden Club on page 36. They are hosting a tablescape event in April that is sure to help you tap in to your creative side.

For those looking to get a little spring cleaning done, don’t forget the most important thing to clean: your body.

Pure Barre’s Katie Zampini explains what detoxing actually is and give great tips on page 47. You certainly don’t want to miss our Taste and Toast this month on page 50. Lisa Bynum has created great new ways to prepare all of our garden fresh favorites. Prom and formal season is on the horizon, so turn to page 57 to get a preview of what just arrived at It’s a Date and the Tuxedo Shop. We had so much fun at this shoot! It might be one of my favorites!

Boardtown Revival: After hiatus, local couple brings back Boardtown Gardens and More

Story by Clint Kimberling Photography by Ashley Covin and submitted

W

hen a small business decides to close its doors, it’s usually a permanent decision. It’s rare for the owner of a store to close and later reopen their business. Rarer still, is the store that closes, reopens over a decade later and is stronger than ever. But that’s exactly the case with John and Dawn Herring’s Boardtown Gardens & More.

The original Boardtown Garden Center and Landscaping opened in 1979. Although the landscaping business has continued uninterrupted since that time, the retail garden center was shuttered in 2000 due in part to what Dawn refers to as “retail burnout.”

Feeling rejuvenated in 2014, Dawn decided to reopen the garden center in the exact same location. She felt that the building, which had been mostly unused in the meantime, was wasted space that needed to be

revitalized.

Dawn also saw a need at the time for a space where artists and craftsmen could sell their work. This gave birth to new concept for the garden center. In addition to providing traditional plants and gardening supplies, Dawn partnered with artists, potters, craftsmen and antique vendors to sell their artwork and crafts in the shop. Operating similarly to an antique mall, Boardtown now gives retail space to paintings, bottle trees, metal work, pottery, candles, home décor and more.

Boardtown is a a combination of the Herring’s combined interests of gardening, landscape, art and design all under one roof. John and Dawn are both graduates of Mississippi State’s Landscape Architecture and Horticulture program and are also a creative couple.

As longtime collectors and lovers of art and antiques, Dawn says, “We were able to take something we did and March 2016 | 15

16 | TOWNANDGOWNMAGAZINE.COM

enjoyed as a hobby and combined it into our business.”

While Boardtown is in its original building and location, it did undergo significant renovation and additions. The Herrings closed in the front porch and added a custom gate that is constructed out of landscaping instruments, shovels and rakes. The gate serves as a fitting entrance to the store, because, as Dawn points out, “It combines all of our interests. Art, gardening, and landscaping are all represented in that one piece.”

Boardtown now carries a wider array of goods than it did 16 years ago. By using several different vendors, they now carry a larger variety of inventory and are able to suit a wide variety of tastes and styles. Additionally, Dawn says there is a palpable creative air throughout the store now. “The comingling of interests generates original and unique ideas. People seem to be inspired by the way we use and repurpose things in the store.”

In fact, repurposed art is a large part of their offerings. Dawn herself makes light fixtures out of vintage tool and rusty items. John makes shadow boxes out of reclaimed barn wood and fills them with vintage fishing lures among other things. There is also an artist who sells wind chimes made from used wine bottles.

Despite the artistic and creative additions, Boardtown

is a full service garden center and still offers landscaping services. As a garden center that serves the community, Boardtown specializes in perennials, herbs, and plants that do well in the local climate. They also sell several organic product lines such as fertilizers, potting soil and other plant care items. “We carry items that we know will work here. We also focus on carrying unique plants and products that people won’t find in a big box store.”

Some of these unique items include air plants (plants that grow without soil) and other succulents. Dawn tells me that one trend she is seeing for spring is early perennials. “These are good to plant because they are low maintenance but provide good color, nice foliage and texture.”

The Herrings strive to have a one of a kind shop.

Since Boardtown has reopened, Dawn says her favorite thing about the store is sourcing the goods and items they sell. “I love to pick out unique items. To me, it’s like a hunt. Trying to find something that will interest customers and will make our place unique. The character of my shop is something that people will remember about Starkville.”

Bailey breathes new life into classic home Story by Joe Lee Photography by Brittney Dowell

A

fter all the time and money Dr. Ann Bailey has invested in updating her College Vista subdivision home over the years, she’ll never forget arriving from work one day last summer to find an army of men and trucks in her yard – because a dying hardwood tree at the edge of the property posed an urgent threat to a neighbor’s home.

“My yard had turned into a work site,” said Bailey, who in 2001 purchased a house built around the time Jack Cristil became the Voice of the MSU Bulldogs. “(Tree removal specialist) Calvin Patterson was here, 4-County (Electric Power) was here, and equipment was on its way to haul off the tree after it was cut down. It took hours to finish. Neighbors had already been told what was going on, and 4-County came back and reconnected the power lines. Calvin came back the next day and cleaned everything up.”

“Calvin was in the neighborhood and called me, knowing that Ann is one of our clients,” said Stephen Gore, owner of Advanced Landscaping of Starkville. “I met him there, and you could tell the tree was falling.

It had been struck by lightning in the past, and the interior was hollow – the tree had split, and the weak side had burst out. If you were standing beside it, you could hear it cracking inside.

“By the size of it, that tree had to be 75-100 years

old. Calvin said it would fall within 24-48 hours, and it was in a position where it would fall on the power lines … and possibly led to an electrical fire in the neighbor’s home.

Thankfully for Bailey, the director of Housing and Residence Life for the Division of Student Affairs at MSU, her other remodeling projects have been more peaceful. That doesn’t mean they’ve been easy, however, and they certainly haven’t been cheap; she says she has spent $165,000 in remodeling costs in the past decadeplus.

She has replaced the roof and added front and back decks to the home (the front deck was built by Advanced Landscaping). And new challenges have lurked around every corner, such as the need about a decade ago to replace the septic tank.

“It completely went out in 2007,” Bailey said. “That led to remodeling both bathrooms and replacing the plumbing chases (pipes in the walls) and the hot water heater. The house is in the county, meaning we’re not hooked up to Starkville’s water or sewer system.

“I put in one of those ‘treatment plant’ septic tanks.

It’s a green concept – it takes in the water and waste material and reprocesses it. I have it in a dry creek

March 2016 | 23

bed, and there’s a sprinkler system within that pushes water out into the ground. You put in a chlorine tablet every two weeks, and the chlorine helps purify and clean what’s put back into the earth. The septic tank must be cleaned out every 5-7 years.”

Another issue was getting the St. Augustine grass to grow, which was rectified when Advanced Landscaping removed several elderly and dead trees and trimmed the branches of others. Over time Bailey remodeled the bathrooms, added a security system, and installed gutters and downspouts. And last spring she brought in David McReynolds Jr., owner of McReynolds Construction Company, and put him to work.

“Home renovation is as rewarding, if not more satisfying, than building from the ground up,” McReynolds said. “With Ann Bailey’s sixty-plus-yearold home, the biggest challenges were implementing modern building practices while coming to terms with the nature of the existing structure.”

McReynolds moved load-bearing walls and gutted the entire kitchen, allowing him to retro-fit with a design that kept the character of the home intact. He says the new, fully-functional and inviting kitchen/ eating space complements the integrity of the period

architecture.

“I faced daily issues with inefficient HVAC systems, insufficient insulation, and improper plumbing structures,” McReynolds said. “Updating existing doors demanded tedious restructuring of old frames to accommodate today’s specifications.

“Ann’s home remodel project now features two new baths, a new kitchen, all new flooring, new doors and hardware, a completed basement, efficient heating and cooling, and fresh interior and exterior paint. She was a pleasure to work with, and it is extremely rewarding to see how the finished product met all her expectations.”

“This house has tremendous curb appeal and location,” Bailey said. “The view is amazing and it feels more like a woods retreat setting. I often tell friends that you would never know that MSU is three minutes away – unless you heard the band playing or the carillon chiming the hour.

“I can walk to football games and big events on campus. My office is three minutes away. If we have an emergency on campus or a weather event, MSU Police and other essential staff know where to find me quickly and can pick me up if needed. It is ideal.”

Architecture students put skills to use for Starkville’s Boys and Girl’s Club Story by Joe Lee Photography submitted

O

ne of the many aspects of mentoring offered by the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Golden Triangle is an emphasis on a healthy lifestyle and good eating habits, and architecture students at Mississippi State University (MSU) are involved in a multi-semester project that not only counts as a grade, but allows students like Spencer Powell, a fourth-year architecture major from Navarre, Florida, to work directly with the kids on their own community garden.

“I am helping with the general construction, acquisition of materials, and maintaining a budget,” said Powell, who will graduate in 2017. “The scope was something, as a class, we thought we could manage in a single semester, but we soon realized it was a much more in-depth project. I think this is a wonderful learning experience for myself and the other students involved.

26 | TOWNANDGOWNMAGAZINE.COM

It is not common in our major to have this interaction while still in school.”

The project is taking place on the grounds of the Boys & Girls Club, located at 911 Lynn Lane of Starkville.

“This semester we are constructing Shade Structure 02, which is meant as a teen teaching and hangout area,” said Alexis Gregory, assistant professor at the MSU School of Architecture. “This type of class is called a service-learning class where students partner with a community organization and they work equally together to develop a project.

“The design and construction of the parts of the educational garden are required as part of the class. The raised garden beds and a handicapped ramp at the back exit of the building were constructed last semester.”

“This architectural project and garden can potentially change the identity of the Boys and Girls Club,” said

Jeffery Johnson, Unit Manager of the Boys & Girls Club of the Golden Triangle, in a video on the organization’s Facebook page. “This is an opportunity to reach further into Starkville, to get the community involved and get parents involved to really push our kids to eat healthy and cultivate their own foods, and to be excited about nutrition.”

“When Professor Gregory explained the project to us I had no doubt that this was something worth working on,” Powell said. “We quickly started planning the various structures as well as the garden beds and the ramp. I was involved with most aspects of the project from the beginning due to my job working with the budget.

“It was because of this involvement that I was asked to meet with Mr. Johnson along with Professor Gregory and another student, Jared Robinson, to discuss the project as a whole and make sure it was heading in a direction we were all satisfied with.”

“I feel that the organization is worthy of the efforts of me and my students because of the great work they do for the children and the families of the Golden Triangle,” Gregory said.

“They are a great community partner to work with and have excellent ideas on how to design and develop the educational garden.”

Gregory said that many local businesses have stepped up to help, including Bell Building Supply, Oktibbeha County Co-op, Lowe’s, SGK Landscapes, and Lowe’s. Look up MSULearnAndGrow on Facebook, find them on Twitter, and visit their Go Fund Me page at www.gofundme.com/msu-learn-and-grow.

“We need caring, loving people, that aren’t just saying they’re about service and volunteering,” Johnson said, “but who are passionate about pushing kids to the next level.”

“Working with Mr. Johnson and the Boys & Girls Club has been a wonderful experience,” Powell said. “I am humbled to be involved in a project that will promote learning about growing and maintaining a garden which will be used by kids, and hopefully be used for many years to come.”

Mitchells take pride in lowmaintenance garden Story by Richelle Putnam Photography by Camille Watts

M

elanie Mitchell grew up loving flowers in Kosciusko, Mississippi where her family owned and operated Love’s Greenhouses for 30 years.

“On about seven acres of glass houses, we grew thousands of potted flowers like chrysanthemums, poinsettias, Easter lilies, hydrangea and tulips,” said Melanie. “We wholesaled around the state to retail florists. That was before you could buy flowers everywhere.”

In 1975, Melanie married Hardy Mitchell and they worked in Love’s Greenhouses until it was sold years later. But Melanie never forgot her love for flowers.

“Because we grew flowers, I could just go get flowers and take them home, so I always had flowers,” she said. “My mother was a florist, too.”

To Melanie, however, it was not about growing flowers; it was about cutting and displaying them in her house.

“I love flowers because of my family background, but I’m not a gardener.” The truth is, Melanie, added, “I really don’t like a lot of yard work.”

Another truth is that Melanie and Hardy’s businesses in Starkville leave little time for yard work.

In 2002, the couple moved from their Mississippi Delta home so Melanie could become co-owner and principle broker of the real estate firm, Prudential Starkville Properties, now Starkville Properties. She

30 | TOWNANDGOWNMAGAZINE.COM

and Hardy also own Shipley’s Donuts, which Hardy runs.

This was not the first time Hardy and Melanie lived in Starkville. Hardy attended Mississippi State University and worked at the Athletic Department before they moved to the Delta where they remained die-hard MSU Bulldog fans. Now, Melanie loves living in Starkville because it’s a college town and has great energy.

“It’s growing and booming and the people are wonderful,” said Melanie. “When you are a realtor, you work with the public moving into Starkville, so it’s not about selling a house. They are joining our community.”

As business owners, Melanie and Hardy believe in giving back to the community that supports them.

In fact, Melanie received the Ambassador of the Year Award, a program that Melanie helped the Greater Starkville Development Partnership (GSDP) get started. In 2006, Melanie was named Realtor of the Year for Mississippi.

“That was my biggest honor as far as professional.”

Her role as a progressive entrepreneur in Starkville has been one thing, but becoming a grandparent has been quite another. When Melanie found out her grandchild was arriving in September 2015, she began

planning her backyard project in the spring. Her gardens were designed specifically as a space for her coming grandchild to play and swing. Because Melanie lives in a patio home, there wasn’t much yard and most of the area was patio and porch. So Melanie hired Matt Pea of SGK Landscapes Design to construct raised flowerbeds and install the special lighting and irrigation system.

“It’s all about the colors and happy flowers with me,” said Melanie, whose favorite flower is the gerbera daisy, the happiest of all flowers. An avid collector of McCarty Pottery, Melanie displays her flowers of every color and various textured greenery in her pottery vases.

The yard’s very low maintenance design allows Melanie time to do something really important to her—swing with her grandson, Quillie Moss Murray.

Plus, after a long day at work, she and Hardy can relax on their porch or patio and enjoy their intimately lighted gardens long after the sun goes down.

To the people around her, Melanie’s flower gardens must be the perfect representation of who she is: happy, colorful and all about making her home and community the best they can be.

Garden club blends hobbies, friendship and service Story by Clint Kimberling Photography by Kathryn Laughlin and submitted

T

he term “garden club” may bring to mind images of ladies playing bridge and snacking on tea sandwiches. What you don’t usually associate with a garden club are people pulling weeds and sweeping up downtown streets or renovating a dilapidated cemetery. But those are exactly the kinds of projects members of Starkville Town and Country Garden Club are involved with.

The Starkville Town and Country Garden Club will be celebrating its 50th anniversary later this year.

Today, the club has 29 members and each is required to serve on a committee that encourages community involvement. The club has 17 committees that cover a wide range of civic pursuits. These include Birds and Butterflies; Christmas; Education; Historic Preservation; and Garden Therapy just to name a few.

While gardening is not a prerequisite to becoming a member, an interest in it certainly helps. Publicity chairman Kathryn Laughlin explains, “Members are not required to have a home garden or even a certain level of knowledge, but most of our projects and meetings deal with some aspect of gardening or decorating.”

Kathryn has been a member for 2 years, making her somewhat of a junior member. She tells me there are several life members and some with 30 years of service. Laughlin explains why she was drawn to the organization: “First, I’m a gardener. I love the outdoors and flowers. Second, Garden Club allows you to work

36 | TOWNANDGOWNMAGAZINE.COM

with others on projects that you might not do by yourself. The reward is the friendship that comes from working with others and seeing the project done.”

Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month. Each month a member presents “A Minute for Horticulture” which touches on various topics, including how to feed bird population, how to root a specific plant or flower, and other ways to better understand and improve home and garden. Conservation efforts and environmentalism are also at the forefront of the discussions. Each meeting also consists of a planned program every month with a guest speaker (speakers have included master gardeners, interior decorators that give instructional talks). The group also recently took a field trip to the Homestead Education Center.

Town and Country Garden Club focuses on several service projects throughout the year. At Christmas time, the club provides wreaths for the entrances to the Louisville and Glen Street Cemeteries as well as decorates the Starkville Public Library Christmas Tree and the Oktibbeha County Court House. The Garden Therapy committee develops and maintains a butterfly garden at a local personal care facility and provided garden therapy activities at other care facilities. They also provide scholarships for students to attend the MSU Garden to Table camp.

One of their biggest undertakings in the recent past was a collaboration with the First Presbyterian

March 2016 | 37

Church, Daughters of the American Revolution and the Master Gardeners on the renovation and landscaping of the Glen Street Cemetery. They worked with other civic groups to tear down an old fence, level off, and landscape the grass. Of the service projects, Kathryn points out, “We run the gamut. We try to reach all ages from our scholarships for students to garden therapy at a personal home care for seniors.”

In order to fund these service projects, the club holds a biannual benefit luncheon, Tablescapes and Tastings.

The luncheon generates funds for Garden Club projects throughout the year. This year’s luncheon will be held on Tuesday, April 5th at the Starkville Sportsplex.

The members will divide into teams and create a tablescape as well as a menu item to complement the theme of “Showers to Flowers.” Patrons can expect to see umbrellas, decorative rain boots and garden art.

Luncheon chair Susan Street claims, “The SportsPlex will be transformed on that day. The decorations will be really lovely.”

The featured speaker at the luncheon will be Julie Spear who is a floral designer and a member of the Memphis Garden Club. Spear will be demonstrating floral designs for the spring on stage. Street says, “Julie

38 | TOWNANDGOWNMAGAZINE.COM

March 2016 | 39

Spear comes highly recommended to us and we’re excited to have her for the luncheon.”

Approximately 16 vendors will also be on site. These will include local artists and merchants featuring their own tablescapes, as well as gardening and home décor items.

Susan adds, “The purpose is to showcase local vendors, to let people see what they’re going to have in their stores, and what’s new for the spring season. The luncheon will give people ideas of how to use tablescapes, and provide them with inspiration for their home and garden all while serving them a very tasty spring meal.”

Tickets for Tablescapes and Tastings are $35. For ticket information contact Babs Deas at 662-418-5155.

Mississippi Grammy museum ready to rock and roll

Story by Richelle Putnam Photography sumitted

T

he idea for a Grammy Museum in Mississippi started with Hartley Peavey (founder of Peavey Electronics) and Governor Haley Barbour and their event—The Mississippi Grammy Legacy, which was held three different years in Biloxi, Jackson and Tunica.

“That’s when the idea and research began on just how many Grammy award winners Mississippi had and the achievements of the Mississippians,” said Emily Havens, Executive Director of the Mississippi Grammy Museum in Cleveland, Mississippi. If there was to be another Grammy Museum in the United States, it needed to be in Mississippi.

The idea was developed and presented to the Grammy’s Memphis recording chapter, which stretches from New Orleans to St. Louis. Everyone agreed Mississippi was the perfect central point, especially since Mississippi is considered the birthplace of America’s music. The location would be Cleveland, home to Delta State University (DSU). With education being 80 percent of the focus, a partnership with Delta Music Institute and Delta State University would help

accomplish the Museum’s mission and goals.

After serving three years on the board of the Cleveland Music Foundation — a non-profit organization developed in 2011, Emily became executive director of the Museum in January 2015. She had earned a graduate degree in community development from Delta State University, “so very early on I was interested in community and how to develop community relationships.” Plus, Emily had already enjoyed an 18-year career with Boys Scouts of America in Memphis where she did community development in 15 Mississippi counties.

“Immediately I knew this was going to be great for Mississippi and the creative economy and tourism,” said Emily. “As I began to fundraise for this project and learning what we were going to do day in and day out, it was education that moved me into thinking that this was something I would like to do and to move over as Executive Director.”

Vickie Jackson, also a Mississippi native, is a threetime DSU alum in IT, business development and project management. Prior to joining the museum, she was the March 2016 | 41

project coordinator for the Delta Music Institute mobile music lab.

“As external manager, my main areas are communication and marketing and assisting with development,” she said.

Delta Music Institute is a key partner for the museum because it offers an entertainment industry studies degree. Therefore, faculty and students are able to work directly with the museum staff on various program activities.

“I’ve always loved music and the five years that I spent at the Delta Music Institute has afforded me the opportunity to work with so many young people throughout the area,” said Vickie. “I really thought that the Grammy Museum would allow me to do more work with the youth.”

“More students are enrolling in the music program from the region and from other states,” said Emily.

“This is our fourth or fifth year sending a group of students to Grammy Week in LA for them to perform at Mississippi Night during Grammy week.” This is also the third year to send a group of students to Washington, DC to do an education program at the White House. “It shows the students and faculty that not everything has to be math and science and

chemistry.”

The Mississippi Grammy Museum works very closely with the Bologna Performing Arts Center located right across the street. In August they hosted about 750 kids for The Band of Legends. The Grammy Museum will also be a component of Bologna’s summer camps.

“We’re working together on the Bologna Performing Arts Center’s new season,” said Emily. “Some of their artists coming for performances at night will do educational programs for the Grammy Museum during the day.”

Prior to the building opening, said Vickie, educational and public programs have been going on, with performances like Rosanne Cash, The Band Perry, the Band of Legends.

“Education will keep the museum relevant,” said Emily, stressing that nearly 50 percent of money raised was from private funding and nearly 75 percent of the money raised came from within the county, clearly showing the support of the people, the community, county and the state.

Ground breaking was in June 2012 and four years later, the Mississippi Grammy Museum celebrates its grand opening March 5-6, 2016, starting with the ribbon cutting ceremony with Mississippi Governor

Phil Bryant. There will be festivities all weekend, including a concert on Saturday night and gospel music on the grounds on Sunday.

The debut special exhibit is Ladies and Gentlemen…The Beatles!

Curated by the GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE and Fab Four Exhibits, Ladies and Gentlemen…The Beatles! provides fresh new insight into how and why The Beatles impacted America in the 1960s — and beyond.

“Temporary Exhibits will move in and out every three months,” said Emily. “We are looking forward to tourists coming into Mississippi.”

On the page: Susan O’Bryan’s March book review The concept of motherhood is a frequent topic in books, whether fiction or nonfictions. The ties that bind a child to the predominant figure in his or her life are universal. Those ties are there, whether they’re a form of strangulation, redemption or liberation.

Each author who includes a mother, a female figure, in the story line has a specific identity in mind. The role may be one that’s supportive, resentful, neglectful or even murderous. Writers’ minds are fascinating places, and it’s always interesting to read their interpretations of the female character. Here are a few examples of the divergent approaches I’ve come across in recent books.

First on my list is “No Ordinary Life,” the second novel written by Suzanne Redfearn. It should be at the top for every women’s book club.

In “No Ordinary Life,” Redfearn gives us a look at how a mother can almost be done in when her children become celebrities. The novel combines humor, guilt, remorse and pride, all those emotions that are felt by real-life moms. The protagonist has the heart of a mother bear, one that wants to protect her cubs and provide for their future.

Faye Martin is struggling to be a single mom of three

after her husband Sean abandons them. Waitressing barely pays the bills, so Faye and the kids have no choice but to move in with Faye’s mom. It’s during a trip to a shopping strip in search of a job that Faye’s youngest, Molly, is “discovered.”

A video of the 4-year-old dancing and singing goes viral, and the little girl is tapped for a Gap commercial.

Molly soon is starring in a hit TV show with Faye as her manager. That’s in addition to Faye’s role as the mom of three, each with different needs. Son Tom has a speech problem, and Emily is a young and angst-filled teenager.

While acting brings in money, but it also brings problems. Balancing a normal life with the hectic schedule of TV production pulls Faye in many directions. The author shows the bright side of Hollywood as well as the dark. Sure, the money, cars

March 2016 | 45

and fame are nice, but at what cost to Faye’s family?

With everyone grabbing for a piece of her child’s success, who can she trust? Agents, directors – or even herself ?

One reviewer describes the novel as “a dazzling look inside the entertainment industry and the lure and lunacy of child stardom.” Another says the book illustrates the preciousness of childhood and what lengths a mother will go to protect this fragile time in her children’s lives.

Redfearn has done her homework for “No Ordinary Life.” She went to several former child stars, ranging from Jodie Foster to Miley Cyrus, for their take on stardom. Some succeed, while others are overcome by the pressures. Some had helicopter moms who hovered over every aspects of the young actor’s career. Others emancipated as soon as possible so they could direct their own future. The author doesn’t gloss over the problems, but instead presents them as what they are.

Readers will find themselves asking, “What would I do?” Do you follow your heart or your head?

Do you go for the short-term fix or the long-term results? As Redfearn’s writing shows, knowing and doing can be two different things. *** Being a mother takes on a dark tone in “The Widow” by Fiona Barton, a former British journalist.

The desire to be a mom is one of the many twists in the psychological thriller hailed by some critics as the next “Gone Girl” or “The Girl on the Train.”

Jean Taylor is married to a suspected child kidnapper. All she ever wanted was to have a baby, and now she watches as another woman suffers the loss of 2-year-old Bella. When Glen dies, Jean begins to share secrets, slivers of her world, a tiny bit at a time.

Who will be the first to learn all the secrets?

Perhaps it will be Jean, who often is seen as just a shadow in Glen’s life. Maybe it will the detective who finds it hard to move on. There’s also a journalist eager to get the scoop of lifetime. They all have their reasons why they want to know what happened four years ago.

Who is to blame for Bella’s disappearance? A mother who still yearned for a single life? A man obsessed with computer porn? A husband wanting to fulfill his wife’s wish? In Barton’s debut novel, roles come with titles, but in the end there’s only the truth.
