Jason Brown

When Jason Brown's mother is arrested for stealing $38,000, he agrees to serve as a character witness for her, hoping to keep her out of prison. Thus begins Character Witness, a memoir, a chronicle of a mother's struggle with mental illness, addiction, and poverty, and an inquiry into whether we can escape the legacy of the past. Brown realizes that his troubles as a young man mirrored his mother's, and as he chronicles how sexual abuse can pass down through generations--from father to daughter, and later from mother to son--he begins to look for answers about whether people can change. Brown and his mother share a difficult history, but they also share a common sense of humor and a sense of the absurd. More than simply a recovery narrative, Character Witness centers the necessity of staying with loved ones even in their worst moments.

A high-protein diet is a nutritional plan that emphasizes consuming a higher proportion of protein in relation to carbohydrates and fats. This type of diet typically includes protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and certain plant-based sources like tofu and tempeh. The key idea behind a high-protein diet is to increase protein intake to support various health goals, such as building muscle, improving recovery after exercise, boosting metabolism, and promoting feelings of fullness, which can aid in weight management. Protein is essential for repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. In general, people following a high-protein diet may consume anywhere from 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or even higher depending on individual fitness goals or health conditions. While the specific ratio of macronutrients can vary, the primary focus is on ensuring that a significant portion of daily calories comes from protein-rich sources. However, balance is important, as extreme high-protein diets may place strain on the kidneys over time and can lack essential nutrients from other food groups. Therefore, a high-protein diet should be carefully planned to maintain overall nutritional balance.

"A masterful work, catapulting the reader through the intricate history of Outermark with a sense of immersion that is rare in contemporary fiction. Full of quiet grace, breathtaking moments of violence, splendor, and all manners of beauty, this novel is an indelible achievement--and not to be missed."--Nathan Harris, author of The Sweetness of Water"Engrossing . . . a] moving tale of ritual and survival."--Wall Street JournalOutermark is a haunting and bittersweet story about the power of the places that shape us from Jason Brown, winner of the Maine Book Award, "a pure and accomplished talent" (New York Times). The tiny, fictional island of Outermark sits thirty miles off the coast in the waters between Maine and Nova Scotia. When Corson Wills, one of the last people to have lived on the island, is asked to recount its history, he begins by describing it as "a rock in the ocean where no one lives anymore." Corson's tale, and those of his ancestors who also lived there, ferry the reader between the 1980s, when lobster fishing is the only remaining industry, and the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, days of great sailing ships to the East Indies but also of conflicts between the earliest Native residents and newly arrived colonial settlers. During Corson's boyhood, life on the island becomes increasingly tenuous as the lobster stocks decline and debt and hard feelings abound. Some of the islanders have started to run drugs, and many others have abandoned their homes to move to the mainland. Tensions between neighbors reach a tipping point the night of a catastrophic house fire. Residents of Outermark suffer the loss of livelihood and community that many in small towns have experienced in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As the stories in Outermark reveal, as impossible as life was on the island, life off of it never feels quite right for those who had no choice but to leave it behind.
