I was completely surprised when I
walked inside the historic Parsley
House to see for myself the
dazzling white-on-white color
scheme and an eclectic mix of
modern and traditional elements.
I enjoyed meeting Dr. Linda
Howes-Graham, a unique person
and wonderful hostess.

21 Collaborating for a Cause
Women work behind the scenes for the Ta Ta Sisterhood
of the Cape Fear, Pretty in Pink and New Hanover Regional
Medical Center Foundation, teaming up to help their sisters,
and brothers, through breast cancer’s early detection,
surgery, recovery and re-entry. By Amanda Wager
40 A Different Drug
Native South American Derick Allen found himself feeding
Wilmington’s homeless four years ago, and since then, he
hasn’t looked back. Here he rolls up his sleeves before the
crack of dawn to prepare the Sunday morning breakfast
feast at Early Bread. By Paul Pastorini
58 A Study in White
Harsh winters inspired Dr. Linda Howes-Graham to leave
western Pennsylvania for southeast North Carolina’s sub-tropical
paradise. Inside her historic landmark home, she
painted her eclectic nest pure white as the driven snow
and decorated its walls with antiquities from the equator’s
circumference. By Marimar McNaughton
76 Of Vines and Dogs
Architect, gardener and dog rescuer, Edward McCaleb has
designed and cultivated a habitat for heirloom plants —
handed down to him by generations passed — to thrive
in harmony with the four-legged friends he trains at the
Princess Street home he shares with his family.
By Jeff Minnich
88 Meals on Wheels
Pop-up food trucks add a dash of drive-by drama in the
hunt for good grub. Hankering for cheese on cheese, a
beefy burger or a smoked BBQ sandwich? The latest craze
has fans following Facebook, Twitter, or just their noses, to
the nearest street corner. By Jamie Lynn Miller
