Josh
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ross, Eileen, PUBLISHER: Royal Fireworks Publishing Company, Colorado, . Orphaned eleven-year-old Josh and his five-year-old sister Maribelle have come from St. Louis to a small farming town to live with childless Aunt Abigail and Uncle Caleb. Josh brings with him the shame of his father's past, and his own guilt that he is ashamed of the father he feels he is supposed to love. Josh also fears that someone will find out about his father and think that he, Josh, will grow up to be just like him. Inside, Josh wonders if he will. Josh dearly loves little Maribelle from whose innocence and love he draws strength. Uncle Caleb expects hard work and offers little praise. Aunt Abigail is all kindness. He wants to send the children to a foundling home in Cheyenne. She points out that it is not Christian to punish the children for their father's deed. Widow McClendon, intelligent, respected and obviously once very beautiful, employs Josh to do "chores." He enjoys being around her. She speaks with him, understands him, and because she, too, has a secret--she is the sister of the town's historic, infamous outlaw she knowingly counsels him about freedom from family guilt. Josh's days are filled with thinking his every action is universally scrutinized, trying to please his uncle on the farm and his teacher in school, and dealing with the aggressive school bully, Harlow. Josh's mettle and kind spirit are apparent throughout the story: his concern for his sister's well-being, his rescue of a puppy from certain death by freezing in the river, his concern for sick Uncle Caleb and his ability to handle both Caleb's farm chores and his own, his rescue of Harlow from a raging fire. While sitting with sleeping, sick Caleb one night, Josh writes to him from hisheart about his feelings. Later, unable to find time to complete a homework assignment for Thanksgiving, he submits the letter--a letter of hope to God from a child. All is resolved in time for Thanksgiving. Josh's "paper" is read at the town meeting as the best assignment where the teacher deems his work the village's Thanksgiving theme--looking back on the blessings of the past year and ahead to blessings which await us. Uncle Caleb recants: the children can stay. Harlow extends a hand of friendship. This is a superbly crafted story balancing action and contemplation.
Seasons of Captivity: The Inner World of POW's
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lieblich, Amia, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, " An] engrossing study, told mainly by the subjects themselves... a valuable addition to POW literature and unique for its positive view of wartime captivity." --"Publishers Weekly" "Lieblich has skillfully integrated oral histories to produce a compelling story." --"Library Journal" "The minutes of the meetings recorded hereby are an excerpt of the lives of ten men, who had spent all their days and nights together. Each one observed the other in his grief and joy.Each one, according to his ability and sensitivity, saw it as his duty to contribute to the general welfare, to save our boat from sinking....In fact, we managed to keep afloat most of the time, and if we erred here or there, at least we had the best intentions."--"From a secret collective diary kept by ten POWs" A national bestseller when it first appeared in Israel, "Seasons of Captivity" is a story of human survival and hope that documents the experience of ten Israeli prisoners of war who shared a single jail cell in Egypt for more than three years. The engrossing chronicle of the prisoners' ordeal is told in their own words--from their capture in , through six months of interrogation, torture, and isolation, to their movement to a common room. A watershed event, their transfer to shared living quarters enabled them to forge a community and an almost utopian social system. They held weekly meetings, kept a common diary, started study classes, and, among other projects, translated "The Hobbit" into Hebrew. The narrative goes on to describe the re-entry of the POWs into family and social roles upon their release and return to Israel in . An exploration of the personal impact of the experience on the wives of the married prisoners introduces the women's own stories of separation and reunion. Some of them had suddenly found themselves, in effect, single mothers--yet their husbands were alive. Their husbands found stronger, more independent women in place of the traditional ones they had left behind. One of the women remarks, I thought my husband] had been angry at me, in part unconsciously, for being so strong and competent in his absence...I had managed, well, almost effortlessly. This dramatic and moving account illustrates the resilience of the human spirit in the face of the most dehumanizing circumstances.
Tell Me Where It Hurts: A Day of Humor, Healing, and Hope in
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Trout, Nick, PUBLISHER: Broadway Books, "It's 2:47 a.m. when Dr. Nick Trout takes the phone call that starts another hectic day at the Angell Animal Medical Center. Sage, a ten-year old German shepherd, will die without emergency surgery for a serious stomach condition. Over the next twenty-four hours Dr. Trout fights for Sage's life, battles disease in the operating room, unravels tricky diagnoses, reassures frantic pet parents, and reflects on the humor, heartache, and inspiration in his life as an animal surgeon. And he wants to take you along for the ride.... " From the front lines of modern medicine, "Tell Me Where It Hurts" is a fascinating insider portrait of a veterinarian, his furry patients, and the blend of old-fashioned instincts and cutting-edge technology that defines pet care in the twenty-first century. For anyone who's ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at your veterinarian's office, "Tell Me Where It Hurts" offers a vicarious journey through twenty-four intimate, eye-opening, heartrending hours at the premier Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston. You'll learn about the amazing progress of modern animal medicine, where organ transplants, joint replacements, and state-of-the-art cancer treatments have become more and more common. With these technological advances come controversies and complexities that Dr. Trout thoughtfully explores, such as how long (and at what cost) treatments should be given, how the Internet has changed pet care, and the rise in cosmetic surgery. You'll also be inspired by the heartwarming stories of struggle and survival filling these pages. With a wry and winning tone, Dr. Trout offers up hilarious and delightful anecdotes about cuddly (or not-so-cuddly) pets and their variously zany, desperate, and demanding owners. In total, "Tell Me Where It Hurts" offers a fascinating portrait of the comedy and drama, complexities and rewards involved with loving and healing animals. Part "ER," part "Dog Whisperer," and part "House," this heartfelt and candid book shows that while the technology has changed since James Herriot's day, the humanity and compassion remains unchanged. If you've ever had a pet or special place in your heart for furry friends, Dr. Trout's irresistible book is for you.
War Horse
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Morpurgo, Michael, PUBLISHER: Egmont Books (UK), Brimming with more than 140 dramatic images, this is the stunning, visual companion to Steven Spielberg's epic adventure, set in rural England and Europe, about a young man and his horse and their separate journeys through the battlefields of the First World War. One of the great stories of friendship and war, the successful novel "War Horse" not only inspired the award-winning stage play, but also inspired one of the great directors in film history to commit his talent, vision, and resources to make this extraordinary movie, which was shot in the countryside of England. "I first fell in love with the story of "War Horse" because I was moved by the relationship between a boy and an animal in Michael Morpurgo's novel and the screenplay by Richard Curtis and Lee Hall," writes Steven Spielberg in his foreword. "But, ultimately, I made it because of what the book and the screenplay say about courage. I t is about the courage of the horse Joey and what he endures to survive, and the courage of Albert in his attempt to find his best friend in a time of war. With every frame of this film, it was my hope to issue a call for courage in our daily lives. A call to 'be brave.'" Additional forewords by producer Kathleen Kennedy, novelist Michael Morpurgo, and co-screenwriter Richard Curtis reveal their feelings about the story and the process of moving it from page to screen. The main body of the book is divided into three sections: Part 1: "Joey's Journey"--A visual retelling, along with script excerpts and filmmakers' comments, of the journey taken by Joey, the horse trained by his beloved Albert, from the striking verdant countryside of Dartmoor, Devon, to training in the British cavalry, to trench warfare in France. Part 2: "The Making of War Horse"--An insider's glimpse of the movie-making process highlighted with fascinating insights from the international cast and the crew about the casting, locations, costumes, horse training, and much more. Part 3: "The History of War Horses"--An illuminating section on the role of horses in battle, illustrated with iconic images from history, vivid drawings, paintings and photographs. This beautiful book is a testament to what can be done when people become impassioned about a goal. As producer Kathleen Kennedy expresses in her foreword: ""War Horse" was one of those unusual productions that comes together in an incredibly short time, and for all the right reasons. Everyone involved understood the film's potential, the richness of the characters, the depth of emotion, and the strength of the story's message."

Effect of a Whisper
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Shea, J. Scott, PUBLISHER: Dog Ear Publishing, In, Effect of a Whisper, Josh Greeley has made his decision on the next step in this life-fate chose otherwise. When the chaos of the world quiets down you can begin to truly listen to what is being said. What follows is one man's fight to remember any memories that may give him a future. It took Josh 29 years to get to today, but a single phone call and bad timing changed it all in an instant. It was in this instant, precisely, that a vibrant, intelligent, young man would lose so much. Life is frail, even for a mature man who has overcome life's challenges, and poor timing, only to succumb to another's actions. With the news of a dear uncle's plight and his own bizarre, violent, car crash, Josh's spirituality tells him there are no accidents. Caught between personal suffering, and the mourning of another, Josh must find his way. From out of the darkness to the confines of bed, there come dreams, visions, and ultimately, a realization there is a deeper reasoning for his fate, one that medicine cannot disguise, nor explain. More appropriately, reasoning may lie within a vow, or a prayer with his fading uncle. Or.was it God? Josh walks away from his accident unscathed, but has a gift bestowed upon him that will grow in strength. Coming to terms with this burden, he pieces profound visions and insights together, and so, discovers the purpose of his pain, and finally-his existence. Hesitantly, he learns to listen to the thoughts coming from beyond him to make sense of it all, as death waits for him to weaken. Careful Something that you ask for can come true by unimaginable ways. J. Scott O'Shea currently resides in Kansas City alongside some of his immediate family. Scott was born inthe small town of Westmoreland, Kansas in . He was thereafter raised in Paxico, Kansas during the remainder of his childhood. He went on to attend Washburn University in the City of Topeka, Kansas, where he lived during the development of this work. Aimlessly searching for his calling through college and beyond, he frequented various careers, aside from ending up a wandering, nervous actor, and a short-lived entrepreneur. As it ended up, the last two endeavors took him to where this story began. Effect of a Whisper is the first book in J. Scott O'Shea's promising writing career. It is a story he was first reluctant to write then hesitant to share. The events, which he conveys, began only as a record for his voided memories. Consequently, he struggled with the reason, and the push to unleash his story onto others. It is his sincerest wish that others amongst us can gain an understanding, and find hope where they could not find it before.
