Book Description
It was on a cold wintry day with the wind blowing hard when Roman, my horse, and I saw the animal stumbling toward us. Before me was a beaten elk king. I could only imagine what happened to this majestic creature... The crack of the two heads making contact was as loud as a gunshot as it rang through the nearby timber. Both animals stood facing each other with their heads low and antlers locked. A powerful blow slammed his right side, crushing a rib. He rose up on his back legs and slammed full force into the figure that had attacked him. Again, he rose up, readying for another head slam to his opponent. Then his back leg gave out from under him, causing him to lose balance and miss his target. A blow to his body pounded the injured rib, puncturing his lungs. Before he could recover, he was rammed again with such force that it knocked him down and over almost onto his back. Repeatedly he felt his body rammed by a rack of antlers with close to nine hundred pounds of red animal rage behind them. The downed animal began to lose consciousness as his anger turned to fear. Over the course of the year, I watched from a distance as this powerful animal slowly began to heal from the fierce battle and trust the world around him again, even finding love with a cow elk. Witnessing this great creature's transformation, I learned the true power and beauty of Mother Nature. Cynthia S. Reay lives in Mohave County in Arizona on a farm and ranch. The mountains of the Southwest hold her strongest passion. Now that her two children are grown and gone, Cynthia has laid down her rifle and picked up her camera, photographing the many hidden canyons and ranges hidden from common pathways of the great Southwest. He Remembers is her first novel.

The Country Nurse Remembers

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
From the Bestselling Author of Call the Nurse and Nurse, Come You Here!, the Moving Story of Her Young Life and Her Path to Independence through Training to Be a Nurse—"A Must-Read Suggestion for Fans of the BBC's Call the Midwife" (Booklist) Mary MacLeod's mother died in childbirth when Mary was five, an event that marked for the child a "before time"—a lost joyful time—and after. She was shunted from one relative to another while her father coped with his grief. He married again only nine months later, perhaps to have a mother for his child, but her new mum, harsh and withholding of her love, quickly exerted complete control over her thoughts and deeds, with her father oblivious. Her name was changed to her stepmother's choice of "Julia." Yet the pale, thin, quiet little girl didn't know she was unhappy: things were just the way they were. Narrating from the perspective of the child she was but with the understanding and empathy of the nurse and mother she became, the author of Call the Nurse recounts the moving, intimate, indelible story of her young life, growing up in rural England near Bath, relishing the good times when her stepmother was friendly or she helped her father in the garden, experiencing the world war—air raids and blackouts, the war effort, evacuees, German prisoners—winning a scholarship, leaving home to train for three years as a nurse, and gradually finding her way as an independent woman.
