”[A] charming, funny, touching, and relevant comedy.” —The Boston Globe “A provocative yet sweet romantic comedy.” —People, Best of Fall 2020 From the beloved author of Dickens and Prince, About A Boy, and High Fidelity, this warm, wise, highly entertaining twenty-first century love story is about what happens when the person who makes you happiest is someone you never expected Lucy used to handle her adult romantic life according to the script she’d been handed. She met a guy just like herself: same age, same background, same hopes and dreams; they got married and started a family. Too bad he made her miserable. Now, two decades later, she’s a nearly divorced, forty-one-year-old schoolteacher with two school-aged sons, and there is no script anymore. So when she meets Joseph, she isn’t exactly looking for love—she’s more in the market for a babysitter. Joseph is twenty-two, living at home with his mother, and working several jobs, including the butcher counter where he and Lucy meet. It’s not a match anyone one could have predicted. He’s of a different class, a different culture, and a different generation. But sometimes it turns out that the person who can make you happiest is the one you least expect, though it can take some maneuvering to see it through. Just Like You is a brilliantly observed, tender, but also brutally funny new novel that gets to the heart of what it means to fall surprisingly and headlong in love with the best possible person—someone you didn’t see coming.

Prove It: A Climate Revelation for People Just like You! presents a readable, nontechnical explanation of what does and does not cause "climate change." The conclusions are new to the climate debate, they are demonstrably proven, and they convey the feeling of comfort that follows naturally from plain spoken truth. The book's theme, "Climate cycles, not climate change," is supported by proven science in many disciplines. Because highly relevant proven facts are being widely ignored, there is a need for understanding by the "people" of all the facts before prudent policy can be set. The book directly challenges the prevailing "settled science" of climate theories in the United States, which is demonstrably incorrect. If left unchallenged, these theories will cause economic and psychological damage to many people for many years to come. Short chapters in the book are devoted to what is in fact very complex science (e.g., photosynthesis, changes in the earth's orbit about the sun, and the critical importance of CO2 in the oceans and atmosphere to sustain life on earth). The perhaps surprising definition of fossil fuels as "stored solar energy" is directly related to the documented decline of atmospheric CO2 content over the last 500 million years. We present a hypothesis as to why this decline in CO2 is happening. There is a playful tone; for example, CO2 is introduced with the metaphor of Beauty and the Beast, with CO2, the source of life, widely feared as the Beast embodiment of the evils of industrialization! The story is child-friendly, definitely not nightmare material. In summary, the ultimate aim of this book is to inform and teach, and the ultimate audience is the students of present and future generations.
