Wow!Great job of bringing this man [Tom] and his times to lifeDefinitely a winner! Megan Smolenyak, chief genealogist for Ancestry.com, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, and consultant to the TV series of the same name. Millions of settlers flocked westward for homesteads, taking advantage of the free land opened to settlement by the expanding railroads. Few remained there, but author Judy Cooks family never lost faith in the land. Cooks Dakota roots inspire this compelling story of her grandparents homesteading experiences in North Dakota. If This Land Could Talk provides a riveting look at three generations of life on the northern plains, where Cook spent her formative years. Her candid portrayal brings to life her four grandparents, who carved a living from the inhospitable prairie, and her parents, who continued to farm on the same land. She offers a poignant yet entertaining glimpse into her ancestors daily lives. The author recounts growing up on the same land in the 1950s, shaped by a way of life long since vanished. Based on meticulous research, personal experiences, and stories passed from family to family, If This Land Could Talk resonates with a powerful sense of place, an enduring love of the land, and reverence for the family.

A stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is wrongly accused of a crime—"a moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless" (The New York Times Book Review). "One of the best books Baldwin has ever written—perhaps the best of all." —The Philadelphia Inquirer Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin’s story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions—affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.

If Walls Could Talk: Some Need To Be Silenced But Some Speak Out Loud By: Bernard Mavritte Ever since human beings have known how to build structures with walls, a ceiling and some kind of roof, the walls within those structures have witnessed so much. If they were animate objects, with eyes, a mouth and ears, they could say so much that could not be constrained within all the books upon the earth. Those walls have witnessed the good, the bad, the joys, and the sorrows. They have seen things that those who live within the parameter of the walls would love to share with others, and yet many occurrences that should never be revealed, the deep secrets of our lives we are ashamed to reveal to others. From our entrance on this earth, until we depart, the walls have seen it all. In this autobiography memoir, Bernard Mavritte reveals the good and the bad, the joys and the sorrows in his own life, a story that is full of life itself. He shares how God has opened so many doors for him, bringing him through his many trials. If the walls in his life could talk, some of them would need to be silenced, but some would need to speak loudly.

All trees have a story. Holly Worton has spent the last few years talking to trees – the yews, the oaks, the beeches and the sycamores. You’re probably wondering: How is it that trees can talk? Is this for real? Trees are living, breathing organisms which humans are able to connect and talk to on a deeper level through silent, telepathic communication. Trees have a much broader perspective on life compared to humans. Trees can live hundreds and even thousands of years. This means Trees have thousands of years of wisdom that we’re able to tap into. Talking to the trees can bring us back to our true selves and can reflect back to us the things we need to see in ourselves. It can also be a space for deep healing. Living in the technology age, however, we spend our lives connected to computers, mobile phones, and video games. Consequently, we've become increasingly disconnected from ourselves and from Nature.

You’ll hear their stories, and you’ll be given a series of experiments to carry out, should you choose to do so. These will help you to connect with yourself through connecting with Nature, and they’ll open you up to the deep wisdom and healing that the trees can offer.

From the edge of Hollywood's spotlight and right into the locker rooms of America, If These Lips Could Talk gives you a producer's unfettered access to big-named actors and athletes you have known and admired through the years. Be warned, some of these people are not who they appear to be. Imagine you are at the Emmy's with Candice Bergen, or with Sandra Bullock at the world premiere of Oceans 8, or that you have written Rod Carew's Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech. Now imagine you are seated on a private jet alongside Brooke Shields. One week you are backstage in Sinatra's dressing room with your pal Don Rickles, the next you are taking the first American TV show to the USSR, and all the while you are coaching a girls' high school soccer team to a number one spot in the national rankings. It is a dream, right? Now imagine a kid who was hustling nickel tips on a paper route at ten years old, a teenage caddy hanging out with a future mafia kingpin, a mediocre student at a small Valhalla, New York high school going nowhere fast. Things happened that turned his dream into reality. If These Lips Could Talk is an exhilarating, breezy, unvarnished peek at what goes on at the edge of the spotlight. This book's not about Frank Pace but about the people he met along the way--a witty, poignant, page-turner that will make you laugh, shake your head and sometimes flat out break your heart.
