Book Description
In this seventh installment in the internationally bestselling, universally beloved series, there is considerable excitement at the shared premises of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency and Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. A cobra has been found in Precious Ramotswe’s office. Then a nurse from a local medical clinic reveals to Mma Ramotswe that faulty blood-pressure readings are being recorded there. And it looks as though Aunty Emang, the advice columnist in the local newspaper, may not be what she seems. It all means a lot of work for Mma Ramotswe and her inestimable assistant, Grace Makutsi, and they are, of course, up to the challenge. But there’s trouble brewing in Mma Makutsi’s own life. Her greedy uncles are demanding an extra-large bride price from her well-to-do fiancé, a man of substance, Phuti Radiphuti, and though money may buy her that fashionably narrow (and uncomfortable) pair of blue shoes, it won’t buy her the happiness that Mma Ramotswe promises her she’ll find in simpler things – in contentment with the world and enough tea to smooth over the occasional bumps in the road.

The Other Shoe
Author: Serenity Sole
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973630990
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
I began writing years ago when faced with perplexing choices in life. Some of the information shared here has also been told through a documentary that was done by my ex-husband. At the time, I was included in his story for the benefit of their message on gender issues. However, my focus is more on what makes me, me . . . Its more related to why I felt the need to support some events in life and why I retreated from others. Acceptance is key here. I cannot change events that happened anymore than I could change the way my husband felt about himself. I cannot change the illness and death of my father anymore than I could change the fire that destroyed our business. I cannot change the memory of being chased out of a house by gunpoint. I have to accept that my life is being guided by lessons previously learned and experienced. It is being watched over by God, and it is completely in his hands. My acceptance is the joy that I find in nature and family. Its reflected in my work for those with special needs, both on and off a horse. It is in the delight I have when walking through the woods or catching turtles on a beach. My days are not perfect, but I accept that too, because life is always changing and you cant hang on to the past. Hopefully, I can let it go and look forward to the ever-changing events of life. Welcome to my world!
