Book Description
Every morning, perched at Le P'tit Douai, her favorite Paris cafe, American playwright Michelle A. Gabow soaked in the inspiration-rich palette on parade before her. In particular, her observant soul quickly fell in love with the graceful Parisian ladies and eccentric street artists accompanied by their unforgettable canine companions. A melange of fiction and nonfiction, Gabow's stories celebrate the elegant relationships between these women and their dogs, the secrets these partners so faithfully keep, and the tenderness of separations. To honor these unique friendships is to revel in Paris life. The Pink Lady is a fashionable woman in her pale-pink wool cape, gray sparkly stockings, and two-tone shoes, who travels with Sinatra, a small dog that only she can see. Adrian, a twelve-year-old girl uprooted from her home in the States, befriends Chien, an abused neighborhood dog of unknown gender who ignites Adrian's own gender issues. "

Book Description
Get Lost. . . and Find What Really Matters We are made for freedom and adventure, friendship and romance. Yet too much of life is spent unfulfilled at work, restless at home, and bored at church. All the while knowing there is something more. You’ll find some of life’s best moments waiting for you over a campfire, on a river—even in that coffee shop or brewery you didn’t know you’d discover along the way. It’s time to begin the search. In the literary spirit of well-worn tales about America’s open road, this poetic, honest, often hilarious collection of essays shows how to embark on adventures that kindle spiritual reflection, personal growth, and deeper family connections. From surfing California’s coastlines, stargazing southwestern deserts, and fly-fishing in remote mountains of Montana, you’ll be inspired to follow the author’s footsteps and use the hand-drawn maps from each chapter to plan your own trips. There you will hear God’s voice – and it may help you find what you’re searching for. “We search mountaintops and valleys, deserts and oceans, hoping sunrises and long views through the canyons will help us discover who we are, or who we still want to be. The language of our hearts reflects that of creation because in both are fingerprints of God.” —Roger W. Thompson

Book Description
While the mystery of the cat can never ultimately be defined, Michaels comes as close as possible to revealing its essence. A cat is content to be a cat. A cat is not owned by anybody. A cat imagines things about you, nothing you can know for sure. A cat reminds us that much in this world remains unknown. In his novels, stories, and essays, Leonard Michaels proved himself to be one of the most incisive observers of human behavior, but few know that he was every bit as perspicacious a chronicler of America’s favorite pet: the domestic cat. Elusive, elegant, and often humorous—much like his subject—Michaels gives us this unfathomable animal as we have never quite seen it before, and yet as we have always known it to be. Through a series of meditations, aphorisms, and anecdotes, along with original illustrations from Frances Lerner, A Cat is a both a compendium of feline behavior and a love letter to this marvelous creature.
