Book excerpt: Does a family mystery stand in the way of saving Kip’s best friend? Katherine Pearl Baker—“Kip” for short—is the only child on her family’s rural peach farm. She longs for a pet to ease the loneliness. Unfortunately, her father has an angry opposition to all animals—horses in particular. Why he dislikes them is a confounding mystery. Hiding in the woods on the Fourth of July, Kip encounters a bedraggled donkey with one eye and a floppy ear. Immediately smitten and compelled to protect him, she feeds him biscuits and takes him home. When it is discovered the donkey fled an abusive owner, Kip’s father finally relents, reluctantly allowing him to stay. Kip is elated when her grandfather agrees to help her foster the donkey, who she names “Liberty Biscuit,” along with two emaciated horses removed by the local sheriff from the same home, as the cruelty case goes to court. While caring for the animals, Kip’s happiness is overshadowed by a shocking discovery in a trunk in the family farm’s hayloft—a faded photograph of her father as a boy that reveals secrets long kept. A court order to return the horses, and even worse, Kip’s beloved Liberty Biscuit, to the owner who had starved and beaten them, throws Kip’s world into turmoil. She knows she must find a way to keep them, or she will have betrayed the best friend she has ever had. But saving the animals means risking the complete unraveling of her family as she exposes the long-buried truth about a tragic accident and a hurt like she’s never known before.

Book Synopsis By the Shore by : Galaxy Craze
Download or read book By the Shore written by Galaxy Craze. This book was released on 2007-12-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “breathtaking” debut novel, an English girl comes of age as she pines for a better life: “note-perfect from beginning to end” (San Francisco Chronicle). Galaxy Craze’s national bestselling debut novel “captures perfectly the hopes and hurts of childhood.” The twelve-year-old protagonist, May, lives in a struggling oceanfront bed-and-breakfast run by her loving yet distracted single mother, Lucy, who strives to care for her children without forfeiting her own desires for fun and passion (The New York Times). May pins her hopes on the things that elude her—an absent father, the London city life left behind, the acceptance of the popular girls, and matronly mothers who provide more than tea and toast at mealtimes. She wonders if her life will ever change. When a kindly writer and his stylish editor come to lodge in the weeks before Christmas, May can feel the opportunity in the air. But then her estranged playboy father drops in, threatening to upend the delicate new possibilities stirring in all their lives. “Quiet, sophisticated, and sleek,” By the Shore is a crystalline portrait of a modern romance and that fragile, bittersweet world of youth on the cusp of adulthood (Vogue). “Remarkable and moving.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Synopsis Walking the Woods and the Water by : Nick Hunt
Download or read book Walking the Woods and the Water written by Nick Hunt. This book was released on 2014-03-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1933, the eighteen year old Patrick Leigh Fermor set out in a pair of hobnailed boots to chance and charm his way across Europe, like a tramp, a pilgrim or a wandering scholar . The books he later wrote about this walk, A Time of Gifts, Between the Woods and the Water, and the posthumous The Broken Road are a half-remembered, half-reimagined journey through cultures now extinct, landscapes irrevocably altered by the traumas of the twentieth century. Aged eighteen, Nick Hunt read A Time of Gifts and dreamed of following in Fermor's footsteps. In 2011 he began his own great trudge - on foot all the way to Istanbul. He walked across Europe through eight countries, following two major rivers and crossing three mountain ranges. Using Fermor s books as his only travel guide, he trekked some 2,500 miles through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. His aim? To have an old-fashioned adventure. To slow down and linger in a world where we pass by so much, so fast. To discover for himself what remained of hospitality, kindness to strangers, freedom, wildness, adventure, the mysterious, the unknown, the deeper currents of myth and story that still flow beneath Europe's surface.
