Book Description
The magic of spring, the gift of life and water in a dry land, and the power of kids to make a difference in our world. Eleven-year-old Shanna finds a secret pool on a class field trip to the "waste land" near her new school. The land nearby is dry and covered with scrub brush, but in a hidden pocket there is a wild profusion of flowers, trees and life around a trickle of water. Shanna's teacher says the waste land is scheduled to be bulldozed for a building project and the tiny spring will be destroyed. But Shanna discovers something amazing that few outside her goddess-oriented family would believe-a magical protector of the spring, maybe even a real fairy. Shanna and her eight-year-old brother Rye decide they have to do something to save the spring and its magical resident. Amid a sharing of the festival of Beltane, the kids learn how passion and action can blossom to make positive change. This story is partly based on events from the author's childhood, involving an endangered spring in dry country. But it is also an integral part of the Children's Wheel of the Year, a collection of stories about the adventures of Shanna and Rye which make the concepts and themes of seasonal celebration come alive for children.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Her mind wandered again to the upcoming project. It was a mystery how the builder had found her. After all, most of her work was renovation and repair. To say she was curious that a total stranger would request her for a mural would be an understatement. Her research on Chance Wilding revealed a talented architect-builder with skyscrapers in several key Western cities, but how would he have heard about her or her work? And since her work was not sold in studios, nor did she have a website, it was going to be her first question. Her research also showed he usually worked in Texas. And of course the one thing Texas needed was another high-rise. She wondered how he would take her insistence that she have total control of her design. It would be interesting to see. When the beautiful and talented painter Shanna Key is hired by the renowned, Houston-based architect Chance Wilding to create a mural in the lobby of his new high-rise in Phoenix, Arizona, it's a commission that will open up a whole new world for her. She'll be swept away from her sleepy, laidback Southern town into the hectic life of the rich and famous. Her life will only get more interesting when she falls for the man who hired her. Will Shanna be able to adjust to this new life? Will the gorgeous, yet mysterious, Chance Wilding be Shanna's Chance at love? Find out in Kitch's debut novel. Kitch lives in North Carolina. Though she's had a short story previously published, she's only recently put pen to paper again. Shanna's Chance is her first novel. She is currently working on her second novel.
