Book Description
The Adventures of Cain and Frankie tells the true story of two Siberian huskies that were brought into author Jodi Ekberg's life to help her through cancer treatments and the subsequent surgeries and broken bones. Says the author, "I had become weak and depressed while I was going through cancer treatments and had finally given up fighting. I thought that my days were numbered. My husband Bruce saw how depressed and sick I was getting. So when I said I wanted a husky puppy, he found Cain, hoping that somehow the puppy could help me. Bruce trained him while I watched. The more Cain learned how to do things, the more I wanted to be a part of it, so I started to go to other doctors to see if they could help me. "Bruce noticed that when I was with Cain I was not depressed and seemed to be getting better each day. Cain was treated like one of our children, as our kids are grown up. Cain went everywhere we went, and did everything we did, including eating what we ate and sleeping in our bed. "Bruce and I had discussed the possibility of getting another husky so Cain would not be alone. We felt that if one husky could help me to heal, than two may help me heal twice as fast."

The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Cubs
Author: Chicago Tribune
Publisher: Agate Publishing
ISBN: 1572847956
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The history of Chicago’s first major league team, packed with photos, stories, and profiles from the archives of their hometown newspaper. The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Cubs is a decade-by-decade look at one of baseball’s most beloved (if hard-luck) teams, starting with the franchise’s beginnings in 1876 as the Chicago White Stockings and ending with the triumphant 2016 World Series championship. For over a century, the Chicago Tribune has documented every Cubs season through original reporting, photography, and box scores. For the first time, this mountain of Cubs history has been mined and curated by the paper’s sports department into a single one-of-a-kind volume. Each era in Cubs history includes its own timeline, profiles of key players and coaches, and feature stories that highlight it all, from the heavy hitters to the no-hitters to the one-hit wonders. And of course, you can’t talk about the Cubs without talking about Wrigley Field. In this book, readers will find a complete history of that most sacred of American stadiums, where Hack Wilson batted in 191 runs—still the major-league record—in 1930, where Sammy Sosa earned the moniker “Slammin’ Sammy,” and where fans congregated, even when the team was on the road, throughout its scintillating championship run.
