Three Words and a Kiss

Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
When a big-hearted debutante collides with a small-town blacksmith set in his ways, it can mean only one thing-a war of hearts has come to Pine Creek. Cameron Wallace thrives as both the blacksmith and the minister in his community of Pine Creek. Out of the fires of a chaotic childhood, he's forged a peaceful life filled with safe relationships and predictable routines. But when the smithy he's been renting is sold out from under him, the impulsive woman who buys it stokes the embers of emotions he'd rather keep unlit-and even has the audacity to lend a helping hand to his smithy work. Samantha Klein has never been afraid to push boundaries when it comes to helping those whom society-and God-have overlooked, be they orphans, immigrants, or injured animals. When her latest attempt to aid a group of Chinese women lands her in a newspaper scandal, her high-society family sends her packing from Seattle. Setting out on her own, she purchases the Pine Creek smithy and hatches another plan for helping her immigrant friends. But only weeks after arriving in Pine Creek, her plan turns to ashes, and she's overwhelmed by needs she can never hope to meet, including her own need to be seen and cared for. And the one who seems to understand her is the man who won't let her anywhere near his heart, no matter the attraction that burns between them. As Cameron struggles to find a new normal, and Samantha yearns for someone to share her burdens, old hurts and dangerous secrets make them both terrified to admit that what they need-and what God has planned for them-just might be each other.

Pine
Author: Eirik Johnson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781732124134
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The cultural and political climate of the US is at a high point of polarization, when simultaneously there have never been more tools of instantaneous global communication. We've never been more connected, and we've never been further apart. And so, as social creatures, many people seek community, and a sense of belonging, not only found in companionship and collaboration with others, but in solitary time, and in nature, tuning into ourselves.Therein lie the origins of Pine. Coming upon a rough tree carving (the words "make out tree, with an arrow guiding the viewer in the correct direction), Johnson made a snapshot, but the moment and the marker stayed with him, and he returned with his 4x5 camera to take it in again, slowly. Over the last few years he has scouted trees of all environs, looking for human traces upon them, and musing on the (often) adolescent emotions and explorations that lead to poignant sentiments recorded within a living surface. Rather than essays, Johnson envisioned and realized a sonic set of reflections to accompany his photographs, revisiting his own history as a musician and bringing in a varied group of collaborators who responded to the photographs with their compositions and recordings.
