Cow's milk sales are plummeting, and US Dairy is looking for the right agency to give the beverage its comeback. While Alan's eager for the reputational boost the account will bring him, he's also counting on the influx of cash to give his socially ambitious wife, Vivian, the swimming pool she so desperately wants. Pitch day takes a turn when, instead of the midwestern farmer Alan hired, an anti-capitalist with an agenda arrives in his place. In the days following, Alan can't get the renegade's inflammatory speech out of his head. He starts reconsidering everything he's held true about his values, "opts out" of late-stage capitalism, and moves into his daughter's playhouse in his backyard. The timing of Alan's foray into self-discovery couldn't be worse for Vivian. She's beginning the utmost important journey of her life, her initiation into the Queen Annes-the most exclusive women's club in their Greenwich, CT, town. With Alan washing himself in the neighbor's bird bath and communing with backyard critters, Vivian's husband is the primary obstacle to her long-held social dreams. As their conflicting ambitions reach a climax, the Andersons are forced to examine if, by living with less, they can actually live with more"--]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1706658</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1706658</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Maum, Courtney]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1706658026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316599108/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living Untethered]]></title><description><![CDATA["[This] guide offers a crucial reminder that true inspiration, fulfillment, and joy exist within each and every one of us, and provides a clear path to understanding ourselves and finding unconditional happiness--every day"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1351303</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1351303</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Singer, Michael A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1351303026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Beyond the Human Predicament</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781648480935/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Summer Pact]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the wake of tragedy, a group of friends makes a pact that will cause them to reunite a decade later and embark upon a life-changing adventure together. Four freshmen arrive at college from completely different worlds: Lainey, a California party girl with a flair for drama; Tyson, a brilliant scholar and aspiring lawyer from Washington, D.C.; Summer, an ambitious, recruited athlete from the Midwest; and Hannah, a mild-mannered southerner who is content to quietly round out the circle of big personalities. Soon after arriving on campus, they strike up a conversation in their shared dorm, and the seeds of friendship are planted.  As their college years fly by, their bond intensifies and the four become inseparable. But as graduation nears, their lives are forever changed after a desperate act leads to tragic consequences. Stunned and heartbroken, they make a pact, promising to always be there for one another, no matter how separated they may become by circumstances or distance. Ten years later, Hannah is anticipating what should be one of the happiest moments of her life when everything is suddenly turned upside down. Calling on her closest friends, it soon becomes clear that they are all facing their own crossroads. True to their promise, they agree to take a time out from lives headed in wrong directions and embark on a shared journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and acceptance.  In this tender portrayal of grief, love, and hope, Emily Giffin asks: When things fall apart, who will be at our sides, helping us pick up the pieces?]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1566826</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1566826</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Giffin, Emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1566826026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385688611/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People]]></title><description><![CDATA[Stephen R.
