It’s been decades since Mara’s family was last together, decades since the day her sister Allison drowned at Silver Beach.After the family tragedy, Mara’s father took her to the opposite end of the country, where she made a tidy life for herself in western Massachusetts, with a good education, stable job, and loving girlfriend. Her half-sister, Shannon, was left behind with their mother in San Diego. Surviving on disability checks and handouts from family, Shannon can’t remember a time when Linda wasn’t drunk.When a heart attack lands Linda in the hospital, Shannon’s first impulse is to skip town—to finally escape her mother’s orbit and make her sister step up. While Mara gave up on Linda years ago and couldn’t have less in common with her sister, an unemployed stoner, it’s time for her to stop running from everything that makes her have feelings. This is a novel about the persistent, mystifying ties of family, the extravagant mess of addiction, and what it means to actually live inside your own life.   Author Claire Cox is in conversation with Clare Needham. Produced by Maddie Gobbo, Lance Morgan, &amp; Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," an unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

SKYLIT: Claire Cox, "SILVER BEACH" w/ Clare Needham

On today’s episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we raise a glass of Lillet, a French aperitif made in Bordeaux since 1872, made in blanc, rouge and rosé, from blends of wine and liquors, reminiscent of exotic citrus groves and a life well lived. The USA’s national brand ambassador Claire Needham, will walk us through the culture &amp; lifestyle associated with this legendary bottle, from it’s place in the home, at the bar, and even on screen, when James Bond most famously ordered a Vesper Martini with Kina Lillet, shaken, not stirred course. Hear how these “tonic wines” have made a splash in US bars from Philly to NOLA, Dallas to SF, while we mix a batch of La Coquette (made with Lillet Rosé) on air, in celebration the upcoming national aperitif day, Thursday, May 21st, 2015. Ã  votre santé! This program was brought to you by Bonnie Plants.  “My job is to enjoy Lillet at all hours of the day! iI’s in a lot of classic cocktails. Lillet is consumed primarily on ice in France.” [19:00] –Claire Needham on The Food Seen
