- If you can settle into an earnest Victorian romance, there's real pleasure in watching poor Dennis Fleet shovel snow and haul crates in a Chicago art store while proud Christine barely sees him, then the whole city catches fire and everyone's pretenses go with it. Fair warning, Roe preaches.
- A New York family quits the city for a small farm, and Roe walks you through their first year nearly month by month, crops, mistakes, and all. Half novel, half practical handbook, entirely wholesome; oddly soothing if that sounds like your speed.
