Book excerpt: Follow Greta as she faces her fears... Greta can't stop thinking all day long about the dark cloud that seems to be following her. Finally forced to confront the storm that follows, she learns it brings good things, too. Character building book for ages 3-7. Not just for children who are afraid of storms... This story is a wonderful example of a child dealing with fear and anxiety. It stresses preparedness. It also shows that some scary situations can't be avoided and that reward follows doing hard things. What people are saying... "I liked that the teacher did not coax or coddle the little girl. Fear is often irrational, and that sort of thing doesn't usually work. Greta is forced out into the storm against her will, and as distressing as that is, she manages, and enjoys playing in the puddles afterward." ~A. Monaghan, Sioux Falls, SD "...a good conversation starter for parents and children" ~P. Wu, Jacksonville, FL "It illustrates how fear and anxiety plague the mind, and the uselessness of it. Greta shows fortitude." ~F. Biernat, Windsor, ON Details:paperback, 8.5 X 8.5 inches, 28 pages, full color

Book excerpt: Oh, no the anguished cry rang out. For a sister and her brothers, it was terrible newsof a death in the familythe death that left them dumbfounded. Broken hearted, here they were, a grand family suddenly bereft of a great part. It made no sense. Sorry to inform you, the awful words struck like a thunderbolt. Mom and dad had crashed on their vacation trip. So unfair, so unreal, so jarringso final. All the siblings could think of was how much love was lost to them. Their parents were the linchpins; they were the finest; they were the most revered. At a loss due to a loss. So much love and affection was denied them in an unpredictable moment. What was to become of them? Mom with her daily wisdom. Dad with his usual counsel. Mom with her laugh. Dad with his wry humor. Mom with her catering and caring. Dad with his hugs and counsel. What will they do without them? The sister and her husband, the brothers and their wives, succumbed to the pain, weakening them. Where would the strength come from that was required to survive such a tragedy? When ravaged by happenstance, What holds the family together when hope and promise lose some of their dash? In the moments of crisis, inevitably, people are hanging on by hanging tough. That courage comes from their heritage, which is the real force, the saving grace. Its not just what they have inherited in family lore, but the bond that ties endowment and legacy together in a triumvirate that can spark the spirit. Haunting Memories says something about how desire can influence perception; by allowingor causingus to see what we want to see. We wonder when theyre gone, Did we do enough for them? Did we express our love and affection often enough? Were we good to them? We arent going to be able to answer yes to all such questions without some reservation. Because were never going to think weve done all that we could have or should have done for our loved ones. We cant get our minds off them. We cant let them go. We want them back. But we cant have them back. They are where they are. And we cant get there from here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pregnant after rape, seventeen-year-old Josephina Hansen is exiled from her family home in Kiel in the north of Germany. She finds refuge with her sister's Danish family in S&ønderborg, then in Hamburg with a philanthropic businessman and, later, a radical journalist and his sister. In 1880 the worsening political situation forces this makeshift family into exile &– and a new life in a small farming settlement in the Kaitieke valley in New Zealand.Accompanying Josephina on the journey is an ancient sewing sampler given to her by her grandmother. In its lovingly stitched pictures she finds a way of mapping the world she has come from &– and that is traversed by the birds of her childhood, the Rohrs&änger or reed warblers, which migrate yearly from the salt marshes near her home to &‘somewhere nice and warm where the oranges grow'.Josephina's story is framed by the reunion of Frank and Beth, descendants of two of her three children by different fathers. It is Beth's discovery of the reason for the disappearance from the family story of Josephina's third child that unlocks memory and meaning from the intricately stitched story of the migrating reed warblers.The Reed Warbler is a beautiful and rich family saga that weaves together the lives of six generations, overseen, as Josephina's son Wolf would observe at a family reunion in 1915, by &‘Ma with that glint in her eye'.
