Hardback. Condizione: Good. Your daughter went missing twenty years ago. Now, she's finally back. You thought she had returned a few times in the past, and your husband tells you she's not the one, but you feel it in your bones. Now, what will you do to keep her home? Twenty years ago, Myra Barkley's daughter disappeared from the rocky beach across from the family inn, off the Oregon coast. Ever since, Myra has waited at the front desk for her child to come home. One rainy afternoon, the miracle happens--her missing daughter, now twenty-eight years old with a child of her own, walks in the door. Elizabeth Lark is on the run with her son. She's just killed her abusive husband and needs a place to hide. Against her better judgment, she heads to her hometown and stops at the Barkley Inn. When the innkeeper insists that Elizabeth is her long lost daughter, the opportunity for a new life, and more importantly, the safety of her child, is too much for Elizabeth to pass up. But she knows that she isn't the Barkleys's daughter, and the more deeply intertwined she becomes with the family, the harder it becomes to confess the truth. Except the Barkley girl didn't just disappear on her own. As the news spreads across the small town that the Barkley girl has returned, Elizabeth suddenly comes into the limelight in a dangerous way, and the culprit behind the disappearance those twenty years ago is back to finish the job.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. What are you, and why do you look that way?James Morehead and his daughter Andrea Morehead, an Emmy-award winning television journalist and author, weave a phenomenal true story of courage, resiliency, and perseverance navigating through life with albinism. They cleverly use poetry to explain how and why James' exterior color is white although he's African-American.While this book is for children with amazing illustrations, this book is for all ages, and is a comprehensive story from childhood to adulthood about being an albino, and some of the hurtful experiences he endured growing up.

Armed with great friends and family along the way, Morehead explains how he was able to find acceptance and success despite his outer shell. He reinforces to children that what really counts is one's character, and how God has created everyone with a unique purpose in life. They share the lesson that our unique differences and abilities are part of God's master plan to foster appreciation and acceptance of others.

This is one of the few, if only, books that specifically discusses what it's like growing up as an albino and stands as a shining example of persevering, believing in yourself, and achieving your dreams against all odds.

The Brightest Star has all the ideals of humanity baked right in. It is the recipe any parent would hope their child would follow as they learn about and embrace people who may not look like them. It is not only a reminder of God's grace and presence in our lives, but a testament to His ability to dream bigger dreams for us than we have for ourselves.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. My name is Jon Bellows, and this is my first children's book. The inspiration for this story came from one of my best friends, Dr. Remington.Remington was born on December 19, 2019, and has been a faithful companion and a special member of our family ever since. He has been by my side through everyday adventures, quiet evenings at home, and countless family memories. If you know Remington, you know he has a big personality and a way of making everyone smile.You might be wondering why I call him Dr. Remington. A few years ago, my wife and I started watching a medical television series. Night after night, Remington faithfully sat with us and watched every episode from beginning to end. After showing that much dedication, I decided he had earned his medical credentials. Since then, he has proudly been known as Dr. Remington.The idea for this book began with my desire for everyone to have the pleasure of knowing Dr. Remington. My wife is an elementary school teacher, and listening to her stories about her students, her work with children, and seeing how much they enjoy stories inspired me to create one of my own. I wanted to write a book that children would enjoy, and I knew the perfect main character was already sitting right beside me-Dr. RemingtonWriting this book has been a fun and meaningful experience. It combines two things that are very important to me: family and Dr. Remington. My hope is that this story encourages children to use their imagination, enjoy reading, and remember that some of the best adventures can begin with a faithful friend.Thank you for reading and joining Dr. Remington on his adventure. I hope you enjoy his story as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. - Jon Bellows.…

I know my brother is dead. But sometimes Mama gets confused. There's plenty about the grownup world that six-year-old Aoife doesn't understand. Like what happened to her big brother Theo and why her mama is in the hospital instead of home where she belongs. Uncle Donny says she just needs to be patient, but Aoife's sure her mama won't be able to come home until Aoife learns what really happened to her brother. The trouble is no one wants to talk about Theo because he was murdered. But by whom? With her imaginary friend Teddy by her side and the detecting skills of her nosy next-door neighbor, Aoife sets out to uncover the truth about her family. But as her search takes her from the banks of Theo's secret hideout by the river to the rooftops overlooking Detroit, Aoife will learn that some secrets can't stay hidden forever and sometimes the pain we bury is the biggest secret of them all. Driven by Aoife's childlike sincerity and colored by her vivid imagination, All That's Bright and Gone illuminates the unshakeable bond between families--and the lengths we'll go to bring our loved ones home. "A luminous debut . . . It will change forever the way you look at the little girl next door." --Alan Bradley, New York Times-bestselling author of the Flavia de Luce mysteries.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Dorianne Laux's poetry is a poetry of risk; it goes to the very edge of extinction to find the hard facts that need to be sung. What We Carry includes poems of survival, poems of healing, poems of affirmation and poems of celebration. Sculptured, fluid and generous, they reveal a poet whose vision is informed by experience and caring. Of her poetry and poetic odyssey, critic William O'Daly writes: It seems that Ms. Laux has chosen to witness what she must on her journey, in some way reliving and weaving together who she was and who she is to fully reclaim her body and soul . The poems seem to have been well prepared for, born of years of hard work, careful listening, patience, until all the notes rang true. That attention to precision of image, language and sound, that pursuit of honesty and love is What We Carry - our lives, worth having, and worth transforming.…

Given the regional penchant for yarn spinning, this common experience yields an abundance of stories.In An Orange from Portugal, editor Anne Simpson takes liberties with the concept of "story" to produce a book bursting with Christmas flavour. Many of her choices are fiction, others are memoirs, tall tales, poems, or essays, and still others defy classification. Some authors are nationally and even internationally famous, some are well known in the region, and others are published here for the first time. Spanning more than a century of seasonal writing, the collection includes a description of killing a pig aboard the sailing ship Argonauta for Christmas dinner; Hugh MacLennan"s Halifax waif who wants nothing more than for Santa to bring him a real orange, an orange from Portugal; a story by Alden Nowlan and another by Harry Bruce giving very different versions of what the animals in the barn do on Christmas Eve; a story about Jewish children hanging up their stockings; and very new work by young writers Lisa Moore and Michael Crummey. Beautiful poems by Lynn Davies, Milton Acorn and others leaven the collection for readers of all persuasions.
