And They Said It Wasn't Possible relates the true stories of people who suffered with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel difficulties, and rheumatoid arthritis. Their health problems reversed through diet, these few of many helped illustrate the power of applied nutrition. Important nutritional principles, related in the context of the narrative, reveal the specifics of how Nutritionist Karen Hurd's clients overcame these debilitating conditions, which they had been told were impossible to cure.
Since 1994 when Karen Hurd opened her nutritional practice, she knew that she would need to publish a cookbook at some point. As the consumption of legumes is a critical part of most every person's plan for healing, the need for a bean cookbook became evident. Over 300 recipes have been created to bring you and your family great health. Recipes do not include sugar, honey, molasses, or other sweeteners, which subtract rather than add to a person's health. Appetizers, side dishes, snacks, main dishes, hummus and spreads, and bean breads are just some of the delicious and healthy recipes this book contains.
She had always had a special connection with the animals that entered her life - dogs, cats, marmots, wildlife in general, but especially Colorado's beautiful mule deer. It was a mutual camaraderie, perhaps stemming from her childhood where nurturing was not the norm and love and security were mostly fleeting treasures. In the summer of 1994, Karen Hurd met "Sweety," a soon-to-be orphaned, baby buck, and their lives - complete with laughter, tears, joy, fear, lessons taught, and lessons learned - would meld for almost eleven years into a sweet saga of unconditional love. However, My Sweety is much more than a tale about one of Lake City's renowned Riverside Bucks and the woman he befriended. It is a story that also deals with day-to-day social and environmental issues, conflicts that result when well-intentioned laws clash with well-intentioned humanity, and the underlying compromises that continuously affect the lives of each and every one of us. The innocence, emotional honesty, and down-to-earth feelings expressed in My Sweety cannot help but pull at the heartstrings of its readers.

Karen Lord's debut novel, which won the prestigious Frank Collymore Literary Prize in Barbados, is an intricately woven tale of adventure, magic, and the power of the human spirit. Paama's husband is a fool and a glutton. Bad enough that he followed her to her parents' home in the village of Makende, now he's disgraced himself by murdering livestock and stealing corn. When Paama leaves him for good, she attracts the attention of the undying ones - the djombi - who present her with a gift; the Chaos Stick, which allows her to manipulate the subtle forces of the world. Unfortunately, a wrathful djombi with indigo skin believes this power should be his and his alone. Bursting with humor and rich in fantastic detail, Redemption in Indigo is a clever, contemporary fairy tale that introduces readers to a dynamic new voice in Caribbean literature. Lord's world of spider tricksters and indigo immortals, inspired in part by a Senegalese folk tale, will feel instantly familiar - but Paama's adventures are fresh, surprising, and utterly original.
