Breakthrough genetic research indicates that genes
are not just on/off switches for characteristics we can’t
control (like gender or eye color). Some genes, includ­
ing those that shape our bodies, actually adapt to
outside influences. In “Turn O ff the Fat Genes,” Dr.
Neal Barnard draws on this cutting-edge research to
create a revolutionary new program for activating thin
genes and suppressing fat genes, a dramatic tool for
sculpting away excess pounds to reveal the healthy,
vital body that nature intended.
In “Turn O ff the Fat Genes,” Dr. Barnard begins by
explaining the dynamics o f nutrition and its impact on
genetics. Once you understand how the genes that
' control your shape can be influenced, the next step is
positive intervention. The heart ofD r. Barnard’s book
is a three-week gene-control program (complete with
menus and recipes) specifically designed to influence
the five key genes that determine: (1) which foods you
prefer, (2) the strength o f your appetite, (3) whether
your calories are burned or stored as fat, (4) how fast
you bum calores, and (5) your m uscular type and
ability to exercise. Dr. Barnard’s program enables all o f
us to enjoy the same virtually effortless weight control
as the naturally thin people we have always admired.

“Home Across the Road” begins
in 1971 as China Redd is waiting to
die in the big old house called
Roseberry “which stood as empty
as she felt herself to be.” In 1861, the
white Redds were the owners o f the
Roseberry plantation.and the black
Redds were among the slave fami­
lies who worked it. China Redd has
outlived the last o f the white Redds
and she is determined to set the
record straight about both families
and the house that has bound their
fate for over a hundred years. It is a
family saga filled with tales o f theft,
snobbery, and betrayal.
“To be honest with you, the ra­
cial issue was not the driving force
for me when writing this,” said Pea­
cock. “I wanted to use this book to
illustrate the profound human need
for storytelling.” A nd it is the
| storytelling skills found in “Home
Across the Road,” which confirm
Nancy Peacock’s reputation as one
ofthe nation’s talented up-and-com­
ing novelists.
