Chickens in the Road
Author: Suzanne McMinn
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062223720
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Suzanne McMinn, a former romance writer and founder of the popular blog chickensintheroad.com, shares the story of her search to lead a life of ordinary splendor in Chickens in the Road, her inspiring and funny memoir. Craving a life that would connect her to the earth and her family roots, McMinn packed up her three kids, left her husband and her sterile suburban existence behind, and moved to rural West Virginia. Amid the rough landscape and beauty of this rural mountain country, she pursues a natural lifestyle filled with chickens, goats, sheep—and no pizza delivery. With her new life comes an unexpected new love—"52," a man as beguiling and enigmatic as his nickname—a turbulent romance that reminds her that peace and fulfillment can be found in the wake of heartbreak. Coping with formidable challenges, including raising a trio of teenagers, milking stubborn cows, being snowed in with no heat, and making her own butter, McMinn realizes that she’s living a forty-something’s coming-of-age story. As she dares to become self-reliant and embrace her independence, she reminds us that life is a bold adventure—if we’re willing to live it. Chickens in the Road includes more than 20 recipes, craft projects, and McMinn’s photography, and features a special two-color design.

The Adventures of Amazon Swamp Chicken
Author: J. Frances Dunne
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1780882769
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
'The tree suddenly jerked violently towards the river. The egrets tried to gather their eggs. They manage to grab one each and launch themselves off the collapsing tree, but as the male pushed away, he caught his feet amongst the leaves at what used to be the top of the tree. His feet became entangled and, as he fought to free them, he lost his grip and the egg fell. It splashed into the river and was swept rapidly away downstream, gone from sight...' Amazon Swamp Chicken is the nickname of Skeeta Stix, a young egret who was lost as an egg and raised by a family of alligators in the Florida swamps. Skeeta and his animal friends (Pede the salamander, Captain Jack the pelican and a host of chums) live in the friendly town of Willow Creek, where life revolves around chocolate milkshakes at the diner - but there is never a dull moment! Join Skeeta and the gang as they start a band, solve a heinous crime at the local casino (run by a loan shark), rescue a brood of lost moorhens and befriend a mysterious stranger from Hollywood. These four delightful and enchanting stories have been inspired by J. Frances Dunne's mother, who used to read The Wind in the Willows to her as a child and ignited in her a passion for reading. The collection will appeal to children aged 8 and older.

The Adventures of Hap Farr and Henry Hawk

Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1481755587
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Arnold Hap Fox tells the story of his adventures with Henry Hawk when they run away from the sixth grade in Cleotis, Indiana, trying to join their fathers in Biloxi on the Gulf. Inspired by Huckleberry Finn, they patch up a derelict canoe to float down the Wabash to the Ohio and then to the Mississippi. Cap'n Veech warns them, These days Huck's trip couldn't happen. There'd be Amber Alerts and squads of social workers on his tail to bring him back home and put him in counseling. Wouldn't get much past Paducah. Hap and Henry with Hap's dog Shep nearly drown, wash up in Kentucky, and begin hiking. Henry is a talented liar. Hap is more innocent and imagines the dangers ahead. They are arrested for vagrancy, thrown in jail, and wind up in protective custody on a farm where Augusta and Arbutus Gorch are experienced foster parents. Ignoring warnings about bears and snakes, Henry insists they run away to head south. After three nights in Bobcat Woods, Hap decides he isn't cut out to be an explorer. He is happy to hole up at Eve's Orchard, a floundering commune, that keeps afloat selling goat cheese and marijuana. From his reading about motherless boys, Hap worries that he will receive his comeuppance for his rebellion, but he cannot imagine what that comeuppance will be. Along the way he learns that he is more comfortable at home in his bed instead of playing Daniel Boone. He also finds out that even when adults are confused, there is more than one kind of family that cares about its children.
