Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wow! This is the 19th book in the Quilters Club series. And I’ve loved every single one of them. I’m pleased to tell you this one is among my favorites, a mixture of Shakespeare, and old cases, and kids home from college (can you believe Aggie and N’yen are already in college?) …” —Marcy Birdweather, Marcy’s Musings “So, fair reader, if thou seeketh an escapade woven with the fabric of mystery, wherein the charm of quilting doth intertwine with the riddles of the unknown, then verily, this be the book to enrapture thy senses and enthrall thy soul.” —W. Shakespeare A Shakespeare-in-the-Park performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was going so well until the actor playing Puck dropped dead in Act 3 Scene 2. Maddy Madison and her Quilters Club pals – Cookie, Bootsie, and Lizzie – with the help of their junior members jump on the case when they suspect something more sinister than the heart attack listed on the coroner’s death certificate. After all, hadn’t Adolphus Everly Anderson given the audience two clues before dying? This puzzler that would have William Shakespeare rolling over in his grave – except for the keen sleuthing of the Quilters Club.

Download or read book Ethics for Jessica written by Gayle Graham Yates and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jessica's grandmother writes from her loft at her Wisconsin lakeside cottage of the intangibles she wants to give to Jessica and her generation. Writing in view of the red pines and birch trees, the water and the light, with the sound of loons in the distance, Gayle Graham Yates reflects upon insights, knowledge, and stories she has learned. A woman, family member, citizen, environmentalist, and spiritual seeker, Yates considers in this memoir-as-letter-to-her-granddaughter both distresses and joys, people, opportunities, and education that have shaped her own life and that she wants to pass along. The flow of the book is metaphorically seasonal from autumn through summer. Moving through ethical frameworks drawn from Aristotle's ethics and the Ojibway narrative by Ignatia Broker, Night Flying Woman, the chapters develop sequentially through ways of learning, ways of loving, and ways of hoping. All this is to the end of lovingly transmitting to her granddaughter what she knows. "Which of us would not want a written testimony from our grandmothers about their lives and values, and which of us of grandparent age would not wish to write one (but rarely get around to it!) as part of our legacy? In Ethics for Jessica, Gayle Graham Yates...decants a lifetime of wisdom and experience: all she holds dear that she wants to pass on. And in all her words, it's the love that comes through most powerfully. Readers do not have to be her granddaughte to glean from these pages guidance, vision, strength, delight, and edification to enhance the course of their own lives."---Susan Deborah King, author of Tabernacle, Coven, and One-Breasted Woman "In this book, Gayle Graham Yates skillfully interweaves storytelling with finely crafted writing about the natural world and reflections about how to live an ethical life. Listening to her voice and entering into her imagery, a sense of urgency emerges. What we pass on to the next few generations will make all the difference to our individual and collective future."---Deborah J. Haynes, author of Book of This Place: The Land, Art, and Spirituality
