Book: And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails

Author: Wayne Curtis

For fans of: rum history, pirates turned bartenders, and spirited storytelling.

From the grog sailors drank on the high seas in the 1700s to the mojitos of Havana bar hoppers, spirits and cocktail columnist Wayne Curtis offers a history of rum and the Americas alike, revealing that the homely spirit once distilled from the industrial waste of the booming sugar trade has managed to infiltrate every stratum of New World society. 

Curtis takes us from the taverns of the American colonies, where rum delivered both a cheap wallop and cash for the Revolution; to the plundering pirate ships off the coast of Central America; to the watering holes of pre-Castro Cuba; and to the kitsch-laden tiki bars of 1950s America. Here are sugar barons and their armies conquering the Caribbean, Paul Revere stopping for a nip during his famous ride, Prohibitionists marching against "demon rum," Hemingway fattening his liver with Havana daiquiris, and today's bartenders reviving old favorites like Planter's Punch.

In an age of microbrewed beer and single-malt whiskeys, rum--once the swill of the common man--has found its way into the tasting rooms of the most discriminating drinkers. Complete with cocktail recipes for would-be epicurean time-travelers, this is history at its most intoxicating.

Gran guides Wren as she processes her feelings through art
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book is a treasure on many levels. Though written for children, it would make a lovely gift for an adult walking through disappointments or questioning God. As an aunt, I desire to be like Gran as I love, respond to, and guide the children in my life. It can be uncomfortable to see children sit in disappointment. Yet, Gran doesn't try to rescue Wren. Rather, she guides her to process and then express her feelings through art. Gran gives Wren judgment-free space to identity and feel her own feelings and then encourages her to express those honest feelings to God in a prayer painting. As with Brown's adult books, this is an inviting, loving, gentle, practical, soul care book. And, as with her novels, I am somehow a participant in the book or a fly on the wall, longing for the story to continue. The lovely illustrations bring the words to life and make me want to pick up a paintbrush myself. Well done!

A precious book for all ages.
Format: Hardcover
I just received this beautiful book and like all of Sharon Garlough Brown’s books it touched my heart. I know and love Wren as an adult from Sharon’s novels. The artist captures young Wren perfectly. When I say this book is for all ages I found the message to be a personal blessing as I travel a season of some tough feelings. I was also reminded how important my role of Grandmother is, Please Dear Lord give me a heart like Gram’s. “Not Finished Yet” will now always be sitting out on a table in my home as a daily reassurance of God’s love of all my feelings and to provide beautiful words and artwork to share with others.
