December 2020 Experience | 3 Join Our Inaugural Book Club! Welcome to our newest project, Maine Public’s All Books Considered Book Club. The book club will feature preeminent national and Maine authors engaging with readers across Maine to discuss their books – both fiction and non-fiction. We will take on six books over the course of 2021 – featuring one book every two months. Bookstores across Maine are offering a discount each month on each selected title including Sherman’s Maine Coast Book Shops, BookStacks in Bucksport, Print in Portland, and Left Bank Books in Belfast. Once we announce each selected book, we will give you over a month to read the title. Then we will feature the author of the title in a LIVE Zoom event where the author will talk about his/her career, the thinking/motivation behind the featured title, and then will read a section of the featured title. They will then answer questions from a Maine Public host, generated by the host, and culled from the audience via the “chat” function. Maine Public’s All Books Considered Book Club launches this December with the first book club event slated for the end of January/early February. The featured au- thor is Meredith Hall, and we will be reading her book Beneficence. Go to mainepublic.org to sign up for the book club – it’s free! – and we’ll see where 2021 takes us!

Dedicated to the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase and shot on location in the kitchens of restaurants across the Big Easy, the series profiles female chefs who reflect the city’s diverse culinary heritage, including Creole, Cajun, Latin American and Vietnamese. Pictured, Ericka Michelle Lassair, aka Chef Diva, is a New Orleans native and owner of Diva Dawg Food Truck. Some of December’s tasty delights include Crab Boil Dirty Rice, Apple Pie Bread Pudding, Pasta on the Bayou, Crabmeat Grill Cheesy, Cane Syrup Dark Chocolate Mousse, Artichoke Bacon Hand Pies, Watermelon Crab Martini, Drunk Shrimp with Summer Succotash, and Muscadine Wine Jell-O with Peaches and Cream! I Your Health: A Sacred Matter December 25, 8:00 pm; December 26, 9:00 am & 3:00 pm Compelling individual stories from doctors, patients, nurses, chaplains and caregivers speak to the benefits of incorporating a patient’s spirituality as part of a whole-patient/whole-person model of care. The medical profession is not only looking to the origins of medicine in order to move forward, by re-integrating religiously based tenets into the healing process, but also responding to con- temporary research findings that support earlier accepted wisdom. The film’s interviewees provide a representative sampling of the leading medical schools, teaching hospitals and research centers across the nation recognized for their work in this field. It also follows a variety of people in medicine who are learning to integrate the whole-person model of care.
