The Plague of Doves
by Louise Erdrich
Fiction
HarperCollins, April 2008
ISBN 9780060515126
$25.95 (Hardcover)
With her masterful storytelling, author Louise Erdrich brings us the story of a senseless and horrific crime that changes the lives of several families living in and around Pluto, North Dakota, a white town on the edge of an Ojibwe reservation. The youngest generation, of mixed blood, grows up ignorant of the past, but gradually discovers that their passions and destinies are irrevocably marked by a history of violence, greed, and injustice.
As the characters unravel the stories of the different generations and families who are all connected by love, friendship, by blood, or by the burden of their shared history, a rich human, tapestry, and a powerful and affecting narrative, emerges. For all the darkness of the central story, there is a lightness and humor throughout, and Erdrich's masterful storytelling sweeps the reader along to an unexpected and stunning conclusion.

Baggu Bags Available at Destinations Booksellers
 The lastest project in our initiative to be as "green" as possible is a quest to find an ecologically sound alternative to plastic bags.
Did you know that the average household brings home 1,000 plastic bags each year? 100 billion bags end up in landfills every year where they take 1,000 years to decompose.
While looking for an alternative to the plastic bags that we use, we found Baggu bags. We can't use them to bag each purchase but we liked them so much that we decided to sell them at Destinations Booksellers.
Here are some of the reasons that we like them so much:
Using one Baggu for one year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags.
One Baggu holds the contents of 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags. Six bags can hold a whole cart full of groceries.
Baggu Bag handles are the perfect length: you can hold them in your hand, on your forearm, or over your shoulder.
They are made from super strong rip-stop nylon (holds 25 lbs) so they are light (2 oz) and compactible.
They fold into a flat 5 by 5 inch pouch that easily slips in a purse or pocket. That way they are always handy when you need them.
Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom so they will sit flat when they are filled.
