Pages : 161
Book Description
Newly divorced, a woman’s faith in finding true love is tested when she falls in love with a Catholic priest. Veronica Miller is grateful for a temporary teaching position at the local Catholic school. Perhaps her new job will take her mind off her ex-husband’s betrayal and distract her from the pain of divorce. When she meets Father Francis Xavier, however, she wonders if she’s about to hurt herself again by falling for a man who is forbidden to her. To complicate matters further, she discovers her ex-husband and his very pregnant bride have moved in around the corner. Father Francis is far from his home in India, an interim priest who knows no one. He becomes a welcome, calming friend who seems to appreciate Veronica’s help with difficult situations with families in the parish. Can Veronica help it if she finds herself wanting to spend more and more time with him? Thankfully he will be gone soon, hopefully before Veronica’s feelings for him overtake her good sense.

Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
A vivid sense of the wilderness and nature’s power comes through in this intriguing and tension-filled YA novel narrated by a contemporary teen. Perfect for animal lovers, this unusual novel has hints of the quirky charm of Geek Girl and the emotional depth of The Last Leaves Falling. Darcy’s dad, a naturalist, moves their family from England to the snowy wilderness of Yellowstone National Park. Mum, Dad, and older brother Jem are all thriving, but Darcy misses her friends, and civilization, including WiFi. She’s also sick, getting weaker with each day, and having strange dreams—or are they something else? Then she finds an injured mother bear whose cubs were killed by hunters. The bear is enormous, and powerful, but she doesn’t threaten Darcy—she makes Darcy feel alive. The bear needs Darcy just as much as Darcy needs her. Darcy must help her, even though she might not be well enough to take care of the bear, let alone herself. A mystery illness, shifting points of view, and dreamlike sequences make this an unusual and immersive story. Darcy is brave and resourceful, but nothing has prepared her to confront nature’s ultimate question: Can a girl and a wild bear triumph over the basic rule of survival: kill or be killed?

The Humane Gardener
Author: Nancy Lawson
Publisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 1616896175
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
