On a brisk and sunny day in January of 1948, a young, beautiful woman has been brutally beaten to death and found in a back alley in Los Angeles, California. Her face is unrecognizable. There are no dental records, no matching fingerprint record and no missing person record. The only leads are a tattoo of a blue buffalo on the glamorously dressed woman's shoulder and an elusive, dark, Packard sedan. Acclaimed homicide detective, JD Pearson is assigned to investigate the murder. He will find that this is no ordinary murder. This murder has a mysterious family history of vengeance and death spanning almost three decades and a journey of 1450 miles from Boswell, Oklahoma to Los Angeles. This history includes the involvement of a powerful, Native American spirit, the Blue Buffalo. And this legendary bison will avenge this woman's death...

But he's also stubborn, sometimes scared, and occasionally too tired to trudge on.Dad relishes seeing the natural world through his son's eyes, but he also struggles with the responsibility of keeping the journey going forward. By the time they reach Vermont, with aching feet and frazzled nerves, their plan to take a train to Georgia and hike north to where they started is in serious jeopardy.But the trail beckons.Closely observed, wonderfully described, and bracingly clear-eyed, this inspiring book will appeal to nature lovers and would-be AT hikers alike. It offers a vivid evocation of both the camaraderie and dangers of trail life--as well as the difficulties of modern child-rearing and the powerful lure of an untamed natural world.

There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather
Author: Linda Åkeson McGurk
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501143646
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Bringing Up Bébé meets Last Child in the Woods in this “fascinating exploration of the importance of the outdoors to childhood development” (Kirkus Reviews) from a Swedish-American mother who sets out to discover if the nature-centric parenting philosophy of her native Scandinavia holds the key to healthier, happier lives for her American children. Could the Scandinavian philosophy of “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes” hold the key to happier, healthier lives for American children? When Swedish-born Linda Åkeson McGurk moved to Indiana, she quickly learned that the nature-centric parenting philosophies of her native Scandinavia were not the norm. In Sweden, children play outdoors year-round, regardless of the weather, and letting babies nap outside in freezing temperatures is common and recommended by physicians. Preschoolers spend their days climbing trees, catching frogs, and learning to compost, and environmental education is a key part of the public-school curriculum. In the US, McGurk found the playgrounds deserted, and preschoolers were getting drilled on academics with little time for free play in nature. And when a swimming outing at a nearby creek ended with a fine from a park officer, McGurk realized that the parenting philosophies of her native country and her adopted homeland were worlds apart. Struggling to decide what was best for her family, McGurk embarked on a six-month journey to Sweden with her two daughters to see how their lives would change in a place where spending time in nature is considered essential to a good childhood. Insightful and lively, There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather is a fascinating personal narrative that illustrates how Scandinavian culture could hold the key to raising healthy, resilient, and confident children in America.
