Have you ever driven down a country road and noticed a majestic old tree? Have you ever wondered what stories that tree could tell about the things it has seen? If Only That Tree Could Talk addresses that very question, presenting the history of Louisiana from the perspective of a plantation live oak. When Rodney is in a car accident, a massive tree rescues him. Of course, at first, he can’t believe the live oak is talking to him, but soon, that tree begins to share its many stories. Although fictionalized, the tree’s stories are based on actual historical pictures, letters, and speeches, featuring real people who had tremendous impacts on the Pelican State. As a history teacher and native Louisianan, author Kevin Rodrigue uses the wisdom of an ancient tree to share the things that fascinate him about the culture of his surroundings. He hopes to not only entertain but also inspire readers to look into their own pasts and embrace the things that make them unique.

Welcome to Spring Farm, where animals and people come together -- to explore their own natural ability to communicate with each other.... Something magical is happening on a small farm in upstate New York. Animals of all shapes and sizes are living side by side -- talking, listening, learning, and loving -- along with caring people who have come to learn the secrets of interspecies communication. It's a gift that all of us are born with, as long as we're willing to open our hearts and minds to the gentle creatures who share our world. This is what happened at Spring Farm when two very special women gave shelter to animals that were sick or abandoned.

Today, the miracle of Spring Farm CARES is shared through communication workshops for visitors, students, and animal lovers. So come discover the magic of Spring Farm. Humans are more than welcome.... You'll meet Ricardo the duck, who explains that he won't leave his warm nest in a nearby chimney even if the house owners disapprove...Chubby the horse, who shares her feelings of despair when her barn catches fire...Elvis the kitten, who wiggles like a rock star...Sugar the Shetland pony, who dedicates a poem to her long-lost herd...and a whole menagerie of mouse-friendly cats, loving llamas, gregarious guinea pigs, delightful dogs, and other amazing critters.

'I grew up reading James Herriot's book and I'm delighted that thirty years on they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then.' – Kate Humble Fresh out of Veterinary College, and shoulder-deep in an uncooperative cow, James Herriot’s first job is not panning out exactly as expected . . . To a Glaswegian like James, 1930s Yorkshire appears to offer an idyllic pocket of rural life in a rapidly changing world. But even life in the sleepy village of Darrowby has its challenges. On the one hand there are his new colleagues, Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, two brothers who attract a constant stream of local girls to whom James is strangely invisible. On the other he must contend with herds of semi-feral cattle, gruff farmers with incomprehensible accents and an overweight Pekingese called Tricki Woo . . . Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, If Only They Could Talk is a book for all those who find laughter and joy in animals, and who know and understand the magic and beauty of Britain’s wild places. James Herriot's books were televised in the enormously popular series All Creatures Great and Small.

If This Porch Could Talk was written when Arlene was ninety-five years old and takes place in the 1990s--a kinder, gentler time, a golden era that we will never know again. Arlene relied on stories recorded in journals that she has kept for many years, providing a wealth of memories to draw from. Her story is centered around the historical background of her beloved hometown of Flint, Michigan. It is a tapestry of real life--sincere, heartfelt, a sweet, nostalgic story. It was 1995 when Arlene and her husband Jack purchased a home in Mott Park, Flint, Michigan, for a summer home. They embarked on a restoration project, refreshing the home. A Victorian porch was added across the front of the home, and many conversations took place on that porch. Some stories are humorous, others are sad. It celebrates memories of her family, days that she thought were ordinary. Looking back, they seem extraordinary. A great deal of Flint history is recorded. Some of the stories relate to things that are only memories such as Christmas shopping in Flint's magical downtown, dining at the Carriage Room on Smith-Bridgman's mezzanine, and the old farmers market. Other stories describe traditions that continue to this day--the Old Newsboys Sale, Applewood and the Sloan Summer Fair. Other historical topics touched on include the brick street in the downtown area, the metal arches proclaiming Flint as the Vehicle City, Glenwood Cemetery, and the Whaley House, among others. The flashbacks are interesting and beautifully written. Live again a thrilling performance of the Shrine Circus through Arlene's vivid description. You are there! Arlene has a way of painting a picture with words. You feel as though you are right beside her. If you enjoyed her debut book, Homemade Noodles & Cars, you're sure to treasure this one too. Her story is uplifting and leaves you with hope in your heart.

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year South African novelist and playwright Zakes Mda's remarkable life story of growing up in South Africa, Lesotho, and America, told with style and gusto. Zakes Mda is the most acclaimed South African writer of the independence era. His novels tell stories that venture far beyond the conventional narratives of a people's struggle against apartheid. In this memoir, he tells the story of a life that intersects with the political life of his country but that at its heart is the classic adventure story of an artist, lover, father, teacher, and bon vivant. Zanemvula Mda was born in 1948 into a family of lawyers and grew up in Soweto's ambitious educated black class. At age fifteen he crossed the Telle River from South Africa into Basutoland (Lesotho), exiled like his father, a "founding spirit" of the Pan Africanist Congress. Exile was hard, but it was just another chapter in Mda's coming-of-age. He served as an altar boy (and was preyed on by priests), flirted with shebeen girls, feared the racist Boers, read comic books alongside the literature of the PAC, fell for the music of Dvorák and Coltrane, wrote his first stories—and felt the void at the heart of things that makes him an outsider wherever he goes. The Soweto uprisings called him to politics; playwriting brought him back to South Africa, where he became writer in residence at the famed Market Theatre; three marriages led him hither and yon; acclaim brought him to America, where he began writing the novels that are so thick with the life of his country. In all this, Mda struggled to remain his own man, and with Sometimes There Is a Void he shows that independence opened the way for the stories of individual South Africans in all their variety.

All trees have a story. Holly Worton has spent the last few years talking to trees – the yews, the oaks, the beeches and the sycamores. You’re probably wondering: How is it that trees can talk? Is this for real? Trees are living, breathing organisms which humans are able to connect and talk to on a deeper level through silent, telepathic communication. Trees have a much broader perspective on life compared to humans. Trees can live hundreds and even thousands of years. This means Trees have thousands of years of wisdom that we’re able to tap into. Talking to the trees can bring us back to our true selves and can reflect back to us the things we need to see in ourselves. It can also be a space for deep healing. Living in the technology age, however, we spend our lives connected to computers, mobile phones, and video games. Consequently, we've become increasingly disconnected from ourselves and from Nature. This book is meant to gently encourage you to get back to Nature and turn to the magic and the wisdom of the trees. By reconnecting to Nature, you can improve your relationship with yourself, which will help you make better, more aligned choices in your life. This book is for you if: · You love Nature and the outdoors. · You feel like there’s something more to life, but you don’t know what that is. · You’re feeling disconnected from yourself, like your life has somehow gotten off Track. · You feel like you don’t really know who you are anymore…or maybe you’ve never truly known yourself at all. · Life is going just fine, but you have the notion things could be much better. Throughout this book, you’ll follow the author, Holly Worton on a journey of connecting on a deeper level with the wisdom of the trees. You’ll hear their stories, and you’ll be given a series of experiments to carry out, should you choose to do so. These will help you to connect with yourself through connecting with Nature, and they’ll open you up to the deep wisdom and healing that the trees can offer. The trees will help you to get out of your head and into your body, so you can feel more deeply and truly experience all the JOY that life has to offer. They’ll add a new level of richness to your life that you have never thought possible. Click here to BUY NOW and join Holly on her journey.

“Harvesting Memories” abounds with intimate and heartfelt recollections from “a lone survivor” of a family and, by extension, a way of life that has virtually disappeared from the American landscape. The life she vividly portrays as a child growing up in rural Ohio as the youngest member of a farm family in the 1950s and 1960s— one generation away from two sets of grandparents who immigrated from Czechoslovakia— taught her invaluable life lessons among its triumphs and setbacks. Coal mining and farming coexisted as unlikely bedfellows in that part of the country, but the author’s father, who dropped out of school to work in the mines, ultimately came to live a hardscrabble but fulfilling life as a farmer dedicated to his undying belief that “the land will feed you.” Edward Cermak’s realized dream of providing for his family by living off the land came with a death sentence of Black Lung Disease from his years of breathing in coal dust. He and wife, Anna, were married at the onset of the Great Depression, a most challenging time, and it is fair to say that they shared a prodigious workload and occasional hardship over several decades of farming and never regretted their journey together. The greater the difficulties, the harder they worked, and the more they learned to adapt. As for daughter, Linda— the baby and unexpected addition to the family joining a much older sister and brother— her two decades on the farm were so special that she, as sole survivor, had to put it all into the words that comprise this book as she embarked into her seventies. There are many stories, from the exultant to the tragic, told in these pages. Linda takes you back in time through her memories and, ultimately, sharing the many truths that came to serve her well as a wife, mother, and grandmother. Perhaps most fascinating is a way of life so reliant on and respectful of family and neighbors captured in this memoir. You might even find yourself, as did the author in her youth, enjoying the antics of a pet groundhog or “dealing with the meanest gobbler ever to walk the face of the earth.” It is a compilation of stories and maxims that can only be shared by a dwindling number of those among us who have experienced this rapidly disappearing way of life. “All proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated equally to the Dillonvale High School Alumni Association and to the community of East Palestine, Ohio who suffered the tragic train derailment in 2023, in memory of Linda’s Dad and Mom, Ed and Anna Cermak.” About the author: Linda Lee Cermak Kocan, the youngest of three children, is the second daughter and only surviving child of the late Edward and Anna Cermak of Dillonvale, Ohio. At 71 years of age, Linda decided to take pencil to paper and record her experiences and lessons learned growing up on her small 150-acre family farm in Ohio’s Jefferson County in the 1950s and 1960s. Just jot down a few interesting stories in a notebook to tell her children and grandchildren about their rootsand pass on some important life values she had learned during those years. A vociferous reader, Linda is not a formally trained writer, but this memoir reveals a natural talent for writing about what is most important in life via an approach that is inviting, gentle and authentically warm and loving. She asks that you place your hand in hers as she takes you on a virtual journey back in time to her farm and a childhood replete with memories told in an unpretentious style that can be humorous, charming and, at times, assertive and life-affirming. She promises that Harvesting Memories will inspire and inform you in ways you might find surprising. Linda currently lives in the verdant countryside outside of Towanda, Pennsylvania, with Mark, her husband of 52-plus years. They live on a 22-acre piece of land, which they share with deer, various wild critters and their 17-year-old cat, Sydney.

They planned on getting Penelope (their RV) cleaned up and a few repairs done while they were at home. They wanted her ready so when they get their next urge to head out on a new adventure. She would be ready to go. The next adventure, they planned to go on would be the central states. In the beginning they were having a great time visiting with their family and friends. But after a few months, the visiting slowed down, and it became the same old thing again. The weather was rainy and windy, there was flooding all around the area. The storms that came in from the gulf, made it impossible to go out sailing. They looked at their pictures from the year before, when they were in Arizona and Nevada. They enjoyed visiting the museums and hiking in the desert. It was mostly sunny during the day, but cold at night in most of the places they went. They were really starting to miss the warm weather. Houston weather just wasnt what it used to be, with all the rain and wind they have been having. It was time to chase the sun and explore the good old USA and Exploring American, all the little and big secrets it has.
