Book Description
Joy Larkcom, proclaimed by the Observer 'the queen of vegetable growing', transformed the experience of growing vegetables in Britain - and indeed can be said to have played a large part in changing the whole of the British attitude to vegetables. Among many innovations she introduced saladini and bags of mixed salad leaves, and popularized the practice of cut-and-come-again. All this, according to Joy, stemmed from the Grand Vegetable Tour she undertook with her husband, Don, and their two young children in the 1970s, travelling around Europe by caravan. While Don did the cooking and taught the children, Joy bicycled off to find out everything she could about how people were growing vegetables and to collect seeds of rare varieties. The tour led to books (famously Grow Your Own Vegetables) and a lifetime of garden writing. The articles published here, for the first time in book form, are selected from that life's work. They describe not just her adventures on the Grand Vegetable Tour - from a rollicking evening's dancing after husking maize with French farmers to visiting ancient Portuguese gardens excavated in sand dunes - but many other experiences, including life at the small experimental market garden she set up in East Anglia on her return; her travels in China and Japan in quest of oriental vegetables; and the creation of a new 'retirement' vegetable garden at a farmhouse on the west coast of Ireland.

Book Description
When Abigail Stone visited the local historical museum she wandered into an area being renovated for a new permanent exhibit. The volunteer working there told her that the brick wall she was examining had once been the outer wall of the museum. It had been covered when an addition to the museum was added in 1948. While talking to the volunteer about the exhibit that would eventually be housed in this large area, Abigail noticed an irregularity in the brick work of the recently uncovered outer wall. Upon closer examination, she found a loose brick and, behind it, a note. Some time later a couple who were renovating their very old house found a packet of letters tied together wedged behind a rafter in the attic. Because the top few letters appeared to be written by the librarian nearly a hundred years before, they brought the letters to the museum. The note Abigail found had been written by the same person. She did some research to discover who the writer was and to whom he was writing. She uncovered both a love story and an unsolved 100-year old crime.

Book Description
From the time Elise was fifteen years old, she knew she was different and that society did not embrace her difference. While in high school, Elise existed on the edge of the dating game. After graduating college she makes a decision to change her life. She wants to be the daughter her parents have always wanted. Elise terminates all of her old friendships, dates and becomes engaged to a well-respected young man. For some reason her engagement wedges a gap between Elise and her younger sister. But Elise is too concerned with changing her life to fix things with her sister. Then Elise meets a young woman who makes her question the path she's chosen. As Elise fluctuates between conflicting emotions, her indecisiveness alienates her family and sends her sister on a path of destruction. A tragedy forces Elise to rethink her decisions and accept that she is the master of her fate. S. Stephens has written a mournful yet optimistic story about overcoming the pressures of society. She explores one woman's turmoil and the emotional havoc it caused in her life. The secondary characters were pivotal to the story, in their attitudes about people's views on alternative lifestyles. The writing, characterizations and pace of the story are good. I applaud Ms. S. for this honest, emotional, and penetrating view of family influence and self-worth: she is an author who bears watching. -aNN Brown, Rawsistaz Reviewer Grab your blanket, a cup of steaming hot whatever you drink, and this book, curl up on the sofa, and spend the day wrapped up in Am I My Sister's Keeper?" -Shameal K. Nelson, Nghosi Books.com Reviewer A story of self love, sister love, and the family ties, which threaten our ability to be true to ourselves. S. Stephens has created an insightful and entertaining story that takes us into the life of a woman who must come to terms with her sexuality and face the responsibility that she has a role model t others. A page turner and must read for people from all walks of life. -Shonia Brown, Author of "A Deeper Lover"

Book Description
Starting with former C.I.A. Agent (that's Colonial Intelligence Agency) Cindy-Mei Winter's arrival on the backwater Terran colony of Deanna, the planet's reputation for being the center of the universe as far as weirdness is concerned held true; strato-penguins that flew too high exploded, ha-ha birds crashed into everything, Ding, the small shiny moon really did fall down occasionally, and the Ruminarii - Humanity's long-lost adversaries - chose that exact same day to crash the party by invading the colony. Together with a string of interesting personalities on Deanna, including Fred the Arborian (the astonishing sentient and very mobile plant alien), Beck the Badfeller (Deanna's most famous bounty hunter), Peg (the Sheriff of Atro City), Timaset Skooch (a ramshackle P.I.) and the Skeggs Valley Dynamite Fishing Club (don't ask) - Mei must overcome a flurry of threats to life, liberty and peace and quiet,

Book Description
Rola, a Saudi hermaphrodite, lives in agony. Scorned by family members and shunned by society for her masculine appearance, Rola is constantly obliged to defend herself. Trapped in her own body, she seeks support from Dr. Suhair, a Boston-educated Saudi psychologist. Throughout her struggle, Rola remains unaware that her battle against her authoritative mother to change her sex mirrors Suhair’s own struggle to escape a long confinement in a decaying marriage. Throughout a turbulent decade of unintentional mutual psychotherapy, Rola and Suhair both strive to break their chains and shape their own destinies. Based on a true story, Confined offers a moving novel that explores the complexities of sexuality, mental health and social judgment. “In the months and years after I cut my hair, not a day has passed without Mama making remarks about how provoking my appearance is to people, and how dangerous that is for me —and, more specifically, for her. As a result of her anxiety and her ire, as a teenager, I lived my life at home behind bars. Each night I prayed and pleaded to God to relieve me from the solitary confinement I’d been living in. The mental gap between Mama and me, brought by the generational gap and her volatile nature, led horror to be the cornerstone of our relationship.”
