Book Description
... I saw how badly Momma was beaten. She was bleeding out of her nose and mouth. There were cuts on her cheeks and her face, and her eyes were swollen. Ned cleaned Momma up as best as he could, but Momma never recuperated from the beating that night. Her voice was weak, and she had to take quick breaths to speak. I overheard Momma beg Ned while crying, 'Please take Belinda away from here.' Belinda is a young slave in Alabama who must escape her home to find Woko, a Cherokee woman who lives in the woods. Together, Woko, Belinda, and Ned-another runaway slave-travel to North Carolina, hoping to find safety and peace from their horrific pasts. On their journey, the ghost of Belinda's mother guides and comforts her through dangerous encounters. After a few years, Belinda, Woko, and Ned arrive in North Carolina, and they make their home in woods near a plantation and begin taking in runaway slaves, providing them refuge and healing over the night. Master Ken learns of Belinda's operation, and though he could turn her over to be punished, he supports her mission. His support turns into infatuation and love, and the two have a daughter who is raised in his house as a white plantation heiress. Will Belinda's daughter ever learn the truth? What happens when Master Ken's love for Belinda goes too far? When Belinda and Ken's descendents return to the plantation in the twenty-first century, they begin to unlock the secrets of their past. Belinda and the Ghost Plantation is tale of memory, love, ghosts, and family that will pull readers into the past and move them to consider what makes a family.

Book Description
**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN’S BEST BOOKS OF 2018** Join renowned naturalist Peter Marren on an exciting quest to see every species of wild plant native to Britain. The mysterious Ghost Orchid blooms in near darkness among rotting leaves on the forest floor. It blends into the background to the point of invisibility, yet glows, pale and ghostly. The ultimate grail of flower hunters, it has been spotted only once in the past twenty-five years. Its few flowers have a deathly pallor and are said to smell of over-ripe bananas. Peter Marren has been a devoted flower finder all his life. While the Ghost Orchid offers the toughest challenge of any wild plant, there were fifty more British species Peter had yet to see, having ticked off the first 1,400 rummaging in hedges, slipping down gullies and peering in peat bogs. But he set himself the goal of finding the remaining fifty in a single summer. As it turned out, the wettest summer in years. This expert and emotional journey takes Peter the length and the breadth of the British Isles, from the dripping ancient woods of the New Forest to the storm-lashed cliffs of Sutherland. He paddles in lakes, clambers up cliffs in mist and rain, and walks several hundred miles, but does he manage to find them all? Partly about plants, partly autobiography, Chasing the Ghost is also a reminder that to engage with wild flowers, all we need to do is look around us and enjoy what we see. Praise for Chasing the Ghost: ‘Peter Marren is the unsung hero of Britain’s nature writers’ Stephen Moss, author of Dynasties ‘Jolly, quixotic and ends with real poignancy’ Guardian ‘A poignant reminder to us all to engage with the wild flowers that grow around us’ i Newspaper
