The Body in the Bouillon
Murder Served Piping Hot
Minister's wife, sometime sleuth, and culinary artist Faith Sibley Fairchild is intrigued by rumors of mysterious doings at Hubbard House -- an elegant, secluded retirement home for the well-heeled Yankees of Aleford, Massachusetts. Determined to do some surreptitious snooping, she joins the pricey retreat's flu-depleted kitchen staff, only to witness an aging resident collapse face-first into a bowl of Faith's hot and savory bouillon. But it isn't until a blackmailing drug dealer turns up dead in Faith's bedroom that the amateur investigator realizes that Murder not only happens at Hubbard, it's the specialty of the house! And Faith's own demise might very well be the next item on the menu.

Be Good, Smile Pretty (DVD)
BE GOOD, SMILE PRETTY is the emotionally powerful document of one daughter's journey to discover the father she never knew. Director Tracy Droz Tragos was just three months old when her father died in the Vietnam War. Thirty years later, she sets out on a cross-country odyssey to find out more about Lt. Don Droz, travelling from California to the U.S. Senate and all places in between in search of her father's old war buddies (including fellow swift-boat commander Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts). Through compelling interviews with these men, as well as family photographs, letters, home movies, and audiotapes, Tracy is finally able to know her father as more than just a soldier or a shadowy photograph on the wall. By uncovering both the painful details of her father's death and the very qualities that made him human, Tracy allows herself and her family to understand, grieve, and cope with a painful loss that is shared by an estimated 20,000 veteran families in the U.S.
