Book Description
Waking to the summer sunshine beaming into your room, inspiring you to jump out of bed and run outside, joining the singing and chirping birds, deeply breathing the fragrant morning air. There is something wonderful about a rainstorm. The joy of snuggling in the covers, listening to rain beating on the windows. The excitement of pulling on boots and a raincoat with a colorful umbrella to stomp through puddles and wet grass, filling one’s senses with damp, clean air. The glorious sparkle of bright new snow and feeling joy in building the first snowman of the season to greet everyone going by. Catching snowflakes on your tongue until you are almost frozen, then enjoying the warmth of the kitchen as you come in from the cold, to sip hot cocoa. The stunning sight of brilliant colorful trees in autumn, and the anticipation of this glorious season with the ending of summer, beginning a new school year. Butterflies in your tummy, with the feeling of bursting excitement like invisible fireworks. Every season truly is, magical.

Magic Season
Author: Wade Rouse
Publisher: Harlequin

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
"Honest, authentic, heartbreaking and healing. I devoured it in one day."—Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author Wade Rouse, bestselling author under the pen name Viola Shipman, finds solace with his dying father through their shared love of baseball in this poignant, illuminating memoir of family and forgiveness. Before his success in public relations, his loving marriage and his storied writing career, Wade Rouse was simply Ted Rouse's son. A queer kid in a conservative Ozarks community, Wade struggled at a young age to garner his father's approval and find his voice. For his part, Ted was a hard-lined engineer, offering little emotional support or encouragement. But Wade and Ted had one thing in common: an undying love of the St. Louis Cardinals. For decades, baseball offered Wade and his father a shared vocabulary—a way to stay in touch, to connect and to express their emotions. But when his father's health takes a turn for the worst, Wade returns to southwest Missouri to share one final season with his father. As the Cards race towards a dramatic pennant race, Wade and his father begin to open up in way they never thought possible. Together, inning by inning during their own magic season, they'll move towards forgiveness, reconciliation, and peace. Heartfelt, hilarious and lovingly rendered, Magic Season is an unforgettable story of love, family and forgiveness against the backdrop of America's favorite pastime.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
Edgar Award-winning travel writer spends an autumn living in one of America's spookiest tourist destinations: Salem, Massachusetts Salem, Massachusetts, may be the strangest city on the planet. A single event in its 400 years of history—the Salem Witch Trials of 1692—transformed it into the Capital of Creepy in America. But Salem is a seasonal town—and its season happens to be Halloween. Every October, this small city of 40,000 swells to close to half a million as witches, goblins, ghouls, and ghosts (and their admirers) descend on Essex Street. For the fall of 2015, occult enthusiast and Edgar Award–winning writer J.W. Ocker moved his family of four to downtown Salem to experience firsthand a season with the witch, visiting all of its historical sites and macabre attractions. In between, he interviews its leaders and citizens, its entrepreneurs and visitors, its street performers and Wiccans, its psychics and critics, creating a picture of this unique place and the people who revel in, or merely weather, its witchiness.
