Twenty-two-year-old Aern is done watching his brother destroy the only thing that matters. He never wanted to take Morgan's place among council, never wanted to rule their hidden world. But when the key to the prophecy is found, a young girl named Brianna whom Morgan will destroy, Aern knows he has to take action. What he really wants is for things to go back to normal. But now he's kidnapped a girl, and his brother's men are after him. His only hope is to join with the Division, but they have plans of their own, and it's the last thing Aern is willing to do. Emily just wants her sister back. She doesn't care about the prophecy, or know what's at stake. But when she goes after Aern, the truth of the matter uncoils, and Brianna isn't the only one who's in danger. Suddenly, they're at the center of a secret war, and unless they can work together, they'll both have a sacrifice too big to make.

"HOMEMADE ICE CREAM" said one reviewer of the Summers Run Series, adding, "there's a little Norman Rockwell" mixed in a baseball book that's not a sports story.Yes, it's about farm boys and their Little League team, but The Boys of Summers Run, follows Claude and his friends through the more serious lessons from life and loss while they "build their dreams from grass and sand."After the death of his father, Major Blake Kinkade, in Kuwait, Claude Kinkade and his mother, Daisy, arrive with their hopes teetering at the Kinkade's National Historic Farm, Shadeland. Here Claude traces the footsteps left by his departed father and senses Blake's shadow following him.While Claude's loyalty is spreading its cloak over Shadeland and his father's family, his mother's aglow with a new marriage proposal and a career move to Las Vegas.Must Claude move as well? Will he lose the grounding he so yearns to embrace while working the fields and meadows of Summers Run?("Runs" in rural Pennsylvania are those creeks and brooks lacing the countryside together. This is the story of one, Summers Run, where its ancient waters extend deep into the bedrock of the neighborhood. The Summers and Kinkade families have been united along its banks for generations, extending back into the 1790s.)Then enters Nathean Summers, Claude's second cousin, recently returned to the community from a film and television career.Nathe rocketed to stardom in the 1960s, then faded when typecast as "too country, too wholesome." He becomes not only the coach of the Panthers Little League team but a father figure for Claude, the newly-minted farm boy. Claude finds Nathean so nearly the mirror image of Major Blake Kinkade, he's inspired to matchmake Daisy and Nathe. His efforts seem destined to fail.The Pickett Township Panthers suffer an aborted 1992 season. In 1993, they blossom. They challenge more seasoned teams and veteran coaches en route to regional championships. In Nevada, Claude begins playing baseball under the shadow of his mother's shaky marriage. His experience there echoes Nathean's observation: "It's not always your friends, Claude, who become your best teachers."While life and baseball in Las Vegas take a bitter turn, Claude heeds Nathe's advice and adds their memories to his sense of balance. He returns to Summers Run and reunites with his old teammates. "It's summer," he tells us, "and I feel my stride matching that of my tallest shadow." Claude and his friends grow; sometimes within an afternoon.The Boys of Summers Run follows Claude's search for his father. Together with the other fatherless boys of the neighborhood--Tim, Aaron, Kevin, and Jeff--they negotiate the terrain their fate defines. Told from a perspective of two decades later, The Boys of Summers Run describes the journey between boyhood and manhood. In essence: "The pure joy of being a boy," says Uncle Albert, one of Claude's mentors, "it doesn't last long."Along the back roads of Summers Run, the reader encounters Tim, the deaf orphan who plays center field for the Panthers; P. M. Murphy, the reluctant recluse; and Standing Ovation, the black Angus bull and official mascot of the team. It too travels with the Panthers as they reach for the sunbeams shining on their field of dreams.The Premise? "The folklore of friendship suggests we may never find another chum, buddy, or pal like the one we were blessed with at age twelve. Tim was mine."

From the author of Nature's Bounty, A Voice in the Wilderness, and Thorns of Love comes a personal collection of nature poems about the beauty and bleakness of the winter season, as well as mental health poetry about living with mental illness / struggling during hard times in life. A book sure to make the depressed, anxious, and lost feel heard in their suffering. Sometimes to know that you're not alone in your struggle is more comforting than words of positivity and encouragement. These poems are real and raw. The first book in a series -- one for each season of the year. Frozen River is a poetry collection that centers around both nature and mental health. The book is split into two sections: "Frozen Grounds" and "Frozen Hearts" which alternate every other poem. "Frozen Grounds" is a selection of nature poetry about the season of winter. Outdoors poems about snow, dreary days, lack of light, dealing with the cold in the wilderness, the natural beauty of nature's silence, ecology, animals, etc. "Frozen Hearts" is a selection of poetry about mental health and the poet's own struggle with mental illness. Poems about anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, loneliness, heartbreak, hope, and healing. While there are some hopeful, uplifting poems, this is a dark poetry book. It was written with the intention of sharing the poet's own pain so that others can relate and know they are not alone in their struggle. This is the first book of a tetralogy-four books, each centering on a season as well as a complementary mental health issue or celebration. Winter is generally seen in a negative light: cold, dark, and depressing; hence, why most of these poems are related to some of the negative aspects of nature and the challenges of mental illness. The next book in the collection--Blossoms of Hope--centers around spring and will not only be about the beauty of the weather change and the growth of new life in nature but also about hope and encouragement for change after going through difficult times in life.

I caratteri del romanzo di formazione si fondono qui con una vicenda dal sapore antico, romantico. Una storia di lealtà e di nobiltà, animata da spirito di squadra, sete di giustizia e buoni sentimenti, che tuttavia non cedono mai ad alcuna retorica.Daniel è un giovane Cavaliere che torna a casa dopo i lunghi anni passati al Collegio San Giorgio, dove da bambino è diventato un uomo dai grandi ideali, coraggioso e devoto al suo sovrano. A Daniel, il re ha fatto una promessa: investirlo ufficialmente della nomina di Cavaliere; e l'avrebbe mantenuta, tale promessa, se non fosse stato per gli intenti malvagi di due loschi figuri i quali, con un potente veleno, lo hanno imprigionato nella torre del castello per lunghi, lunghi anni, soltanto per soddisfare una brama di vendetta determinata da un'antica ingiustizia involontariamente procuratagli proprio dal sovrano Terenzio IV. Nel cuore di Daniel c'è la principessa Camilla, amica d'infanzia e attualmente reclusa in convento per non intralciare i piani dei malefici nemici del re, suo padre. Un sovrano da salvare, una principessa da liberare, un intero popolo da riscattare. E l'amore che trionfa, ma solo in controluce rispetto all'onorificenza conferita al giovane Cavaliere, un autentico sogno realizzato e una promessa mantenuta.L'intreccio - in questo racconto composto di una serie di atti che ben si prestano ad essere recitati, data la presenza di dialoghi serrati, botta e risposta e scambi d'opinione - ha un ruolo determinante. Si tratta, infatti, di un meccanismo di piani a incastro in cui si muovono i personaggi, ciascuno nel proprio ruolo eppure soggetti a scambi, travestimenti e trabocchetti tutti volti a sposare una causa comune: aiutare Daniel a sconfiggere gli oppressori e a riportare pace e verità.Gli ingredienti della favola classica quindi, ci sono davvero tutti!Rievocando a volte Il nome della rosa (per antichi codici e labirinti claustrali) e a volte il Barone rampante (per il legame tra i due giovani amici che passano gli anni più belli nel bosco dei Ciliegi), le atmosfere evocative si calano in un'azione estremamente ritmata, magicamente fusa con uno stile fluido, 'leggero', accattivante, capace di trasportarci negli antri più reconditi della fantasia.
