Irene Stanley thought her world had come to an end when her 15-year-old son, Shep, was murdered in a robbery at their Oregon home. Daniel Robbin, who had spent his teenage years in and out of trouble, gave himself up to the police and was imprisoned in the State Penitentiary. Now, eighteen years later, Robbin is placed on Death Row awaiting a date for his execution. Irene's husband, Nate, has demons from the past of his own which he needs to face, and Shep's sister, Bliss, quickly learns that she too has a part to play in the healing of her family shattered by the tragedy. Irene, having reached the brink of suicide, comes to the realization that to survive she needs to overcome her grief and her hate for Robbin, and that she must face the secrets that she suspects surround Shep's murder. She turns full circle, defying both her family and the church, and finds that she is not only capable of forgiveness for the man who murdered her son, but also she comes to terms with understanding much more about events that happened that fateful afternoon back in Carlton. And perhaps the most painful realization of all, how little they as a family understood Shep. 'For anyone who has ever wondered how forgiveness is possible, even when the pain is overwhelming, wonder no more. Resting Place takes you on a journey you won't soon forget' Sister Helen Prejean author of Dead Man Walking ‘If The Crying Tree doesn’t make you cry, you have better control over your blubbing than I do. This is an astonishing debut novel.’ Richard Madeley, Woman’s Own ‘If you enjoy reading Jodi Picoult, you’ll love Naseem Rakha. These are big themes for a new writer but Rakha knows what she’s doing . . . The Crying Tree is, quite simply, a terrific story.’ Judy Finnigan, Woman’s Own

The Crying Tree Diary is a cradle-to-grave diary of a battered child. It is the voice of this work that makes it so compelling. At first, the voice is inexperienced, the words raw and discordant like the beginning of a storm. The storm gathers; the voice becomes rhythmic in the daily telling of the main character’s life. Finally, the voice emerges as glimmer on the horizon, and the reader is assured the storm will pass when Julie Anna looks beyond the clouds and prays for peace.

As The Giving Tree turns fifty, this timeless classic is available for the first time ever in ebook format. This digital edition allows young readers and lifelong fans to continue the legacy and love of a classic that will now reach an even wider audience. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit. And don't miss the other Shel Silverstein ebooks, Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic!

The Crying Tree Diary is a cradle-to-grave diary of a battered child. It is the voice of this work that makes it so compelling. At first, the voice is inexperienced, the words raw and discordant like the beginning of a storm. The storm gathers; the voice becomes rhythmic in the daily telling of the main character's life. Finally, the voice emerges as glimmer on the horizon, and the reader is assured the storm will pass when Julie Anna looks beyond the clouds and prays for peace. Julie Anna is born to an eighteen-year-old mother named Manda. Julie's father, Ron, is an enlisted man. Manda is bipolar with moments of psychosis. She is frequently beaten by her husband, Ron, when he comes home on leave. When Ron is stationed overseas, Manda and her friends like to party. They sleep with other men; they stay out all night, and they leave the children to care for themselves. Finally, Manda outright abandons the children in an apartment. Julie and her two sisters, Jessa and Abby, go to live with a loving relative for a year. They are reunited with Manda in an unexpected turn of events. Manda divorces and then marries John. John is not interested in being a father to the children but plays along. Eventually, Manda and John turn the violence on the children. Julie Anna has a brief respite in foster care but is later returned to John and Manda. Julie Anna realizes that she can no longer bear the reality of her circumstances. At age twelve, she abandons her life with a Valium overdose. Before she leaves this world, her story is told as only a child can tell. She recounts her life, starting at birth all the way to her death. Every experience is described in the present; she lives in the now-an urgency that carries her story. In the Crying Tree Diary, the reader has access to a kind of spiritual recall that will test our ideas and myths about childhood. Despite surviving a harrowing childhood, the author is an exceptionally balanced individual and very much alive. To teach and to promote peace in the modern-day family is a most worthy goal. This memoir, The Crying Tree Diary, does at least that and much, much more.

Imagine a world without rubber - neither tyres for motoring or flying, nor bouncing balls for sports, neither seals for washing machines and dishwashers, nor medical gloves, no elastic! This unique book tells the fascinating story of four thousand years of rubber - from its significance in Mayan religious rituals and culture to its pivotal role in today's world. It is seen through the lives of the adventurers and scientists who promoted it, lusted after it, and eventually tamed it into the ubiquitous and crucial material of our lives today. At the same time, it includes the lives of those who caused the deaths of millions of natives in Africa and South America whilst seeking to satisfy the developing world's lust for this wonderful new material as well as their nemeses. As with any biography, this book considers old age, why rubber deteriorates and how the ravages of time may be ameliorated. In death, it deals with our current concern for the environment and various options for 'waste disposal'. For the majority of people, rubber is mostly an unknown history and even for those who think they know 'the truth' about rubber, this book may offer many surprises.
