Book Description
Every year, from the end of June to the end of August, Bruce and his family go to their cedar-clad cottage on the blue, wide lake. At first, this summer of 1954 seems like any other: floating in the row boat with Grace from next door, jumping off the diving raft, eating peach pie, exploring with Angus the dog, watching the seagulls, frogs and herons and catching crayfish.But just when he realizes life is perfect, everything starts to change. He’s ten, the family dynamics are shifting, and over the summer both the harshness of the adult world and the patterns of the natural world reveal themselves. By the time the weather turns he will be a different child, and will have chosen his own path to understanding the wilderness that waits behind their wooden homes. Funny, subtle and true, Barefoot at the Lake transports us to a long, hot, poignant summer.

Book Description
"An idyllic summer at the cottage in the 1950s, as revealed through the eyes of a boy on the cusp of adolescence: a first crush, the joy of nature, and the struggle to understand grown-ups. To ten-year-old Bruce, the summer of 1954 seemed, at first, like any other in Ontario's cottage country: floating in the rowboat, eating peach pie, watching the seagulls, frogs and herons and catching crayfish. But just when he thinks that life is perfect, everything starts to change, and over the summer both the harshness of the adult world and the patterns of the natural world reveal themselves. By the time the weather turns he will be a different child and will have chosen his own path to understanding the wilderness that waits behind the family cottage. Funny, subtle and true, Barefoot at the Lake transports us to a long, hot, poignant summer."--Jacket.

Book Description
From marriage, infidelity, and the mayhem of motherhood to scandal, tragedy, and illness—three women seek peace and comfort in Nantucket as they cope with life's challenges. Three women—burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues—tumble onto the Nantucket airport tarmac one hot June day. Vicki is trying to sort through the news that she has a serious illness. Her sister, Brenda, has just left her job after being caught in an affair with a student. And their friend Melanie, after seven failed in vitro attempts, is pregnant at last—but only after learning that her husband is having an affair. They have come to escape, enjoy the sun, and relax in Nantucket's calming air. But into the house, into their world, steps twenty-two-year-old Josh Flynn. Barefoot weaves these four lives together in a story with enthralling sweep and scope—a novel that is as fun and memorable and bittersweet as that one perfect day of summer.

Book Description
An inspiring autobiography by “one of the finest human beings, industrial leaders, and philanthropists on the planet” (Stephen R. Covey). The company Jon Huntsman founded in 1970, the Huntsman Corporation, is now one of the largest petrochemical manufacturers in the world, employing more than 12,000 people and generating over $10 billion in revenue each year. Success in business, though, was always a means to an end for him—never an end in itself. In Barefoot to Billionaire, Huntsman revisits the key moments in his life that shaped his view of faith, family, service, and the responsibility that comes with wealth. He writes candidly about his brief tenure in the Nixon administration, which preceded the Watergate scandal but still left a deep impression on him about the abuse of power and the significance of personal respect and integrity. He also opens up about his faith and prominent membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But most importantly, Huntsman reveals the rationale behind his commitment to give away his entire fortune before his death. In 1995, Huntsman and his wife, Karen, founded the Huntsman Cancer Institute and eventually dedicated more than a billion dollars of their personal funds to the fight for a cure. In this increasingly materialistic world, Barefoot to Billionaire is a refreshing reminder of the enduring power of traditional values.

Book Description
You are being invited to return to nature. You may not have read the invite yet, but it's there at your feet! Feet are the foundation of our body. Our soles gift us with a direct connection to Earth's infinite healing powers; but when we wear shoes, they cut us off from nature, and impede proper foot function. In her book, Sue Kenney shares stories about her personal re-wilding journey to a barefoot lifestyle, while living in a cottage on the shores of Lake Couchiching. This book offers a common-sense approach to inspire you and coach you in integrating a barefooting practice in your life. You'll better understand the benefits of earthing, enable more efficient movement of your body, engage an approach to anti-aging and improved posture, and you'll return to a more natural state; the perfect antidote to the effects of civilization. Mother Earth Activation Each copy of How to Wear Barefeet has been taken to the forest in Muskoka, Canada to be blessed and activated by the Great Mother Earth. The books are carried to a sacred spot and placed on the ground, near the trees, mud, moss, rock, mushrooms and wild flowers to be offered as a healing text. During this time, the four corners are called in and then a gratitude ceremony follows with a smudge to clear the energy. Each book is then signed by Sue in her barefeet and that complete's the earths activation. Sue is the author of the best-selling book My Camino about her journey walking 500 miles across the north of Spain. Having returned to the path numerous times she is seen as an expert Pilgrim who coaches and guides groups. An internationally acclaimed keynote speaker Sue has facilitated barefoot and Camino workshops worldwide. As the designer and founder of Barebottom Shoes, the first ever true sole-less footwear, she pitched her business idea on the renowned TV reality show Dragons' Den. Sue's barefoot lifestyle is centered at her lakeside cottage in Canada, and she can often be found walking, running, climbing trees or doing yoga in the forest. The book includes a 'How To' guide for starting a barefoot practice in your life. Since Sue has also walked the Camino numerous times alone and guiding groups, she's included a Chapter on preparing about walking the Camino in your barefoot some of the time.
