Inga and Olaf
Seven brief stories, told with humor and pathos, featuring Inga and Olaf Ingabretson (brother and sister) provide insight into moral dilemmas of daily living. While Inga and Olaf are fully human, there is an air of otherness about them too. The reader might see in them something more than a quaint old Norwegian brother and sister living in an ancient house haunted by the memories and relics of their father.
Those Thrilling Yarns of Yesteryear: Thoughts and Memories
In this first of a series of thrilling stories, the author candidly expresses his personal thoughts and relates his vivid memories about many of his life experiences as a child, as a Marine in Vietnam, and as an FBI agent fighting to protect our country against evil. This former G-man also tells some fascinating tales about the members of his own family, and he is not afraid to speak about his faith as a Christian.
Garden Voices
Countless garden books tell us what, when, where and how to plant. Few explore the reasons why gardening becomes central to so many people's lives. In Garden Voices, Carolyn Rapp explores the relationships of women with their gardens, revealing sources of joy that go far beyond the pleasure of harvesting flowers, herbs or vegetables. As the 12 women tell their stories, readers will share the heartache and triumph set within plots of lovingly cultivated land. Everyone who reads Garden Voices will hear a whisper of themselves in the words of these creative, courageous, wise women. This is not just a book for people who love gardens; it's for people who love stories.
Tinker to Evers to Chance
"Tinker to Evers to Chance examines this pivotal moment in American history, when baseball became the game we know today. Each man came from a different corner of the country and brought a distinctive local culture with him: Evers from the Irish-American hothouse of Troy, New York; Tinker from the urban parklands of Kansas City, Missouri; Chance from the verdant fields of California's Central Valley. The stories of these early baseball stars shed unexpected light not only on the evolution of baseball and on the enthusiasm of its players and fans all across America, but also on the broader convulsions transforming the US into a confident new industrial society."--Page [4] of cover.
