Born and raised in West Philadelphia, Kareem thought he and his siblings would always be stuck in “The Bottom”, a community and neighborhood devastated by poverty and violence. Riding their bicycles through Philly’s Fairmount Park, Kareem’s brothers discover a barn full of horses. Noticing the brothers’ fascination with her misfit animals, Lezlie Hiner, founder of The Work to Ride stables, offers them their escape: an after school job in exchange for riding lessons. What starts as an accidental discovery turns into a love for horseback riding that leads the Rossers to discovering their passion for polo. Pursuing the sport with determination and discipline, Kareem earns his place among the typically exclusive players in college, becoming part of the first all-Black national interscholastic polo championship team—all while struggling to keep his family together. Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever is the story of bonds of brotherhood, family loyalty, the transformative connection between man and horse, and forging a better future that comes from overcoming impossible odds.

Author: David Frei Publisher: Fox Chapel Publishing ISBN: 193704923X Category : Pets Languages : en Pages : 226
Book Description
David Frei’s heartwarming collection of stories about the therapy dogs in his life and the people whom they touch, Angel on a Leash celebrates the “ministry” that Frei shares with his wife, Chaplain Cherilyn Frei, the director of spiritual care at the Ronald McDonald House of New York.Frei may be the most recognizable face and name in the dog sport, as “the Voice of Westminster,” the famous New York kennel club for which he has worked for the past two decades, but his true passion in dogs is therapy work. In the book’s eighteen chapters, Frei retells the stories of the everyday miracles he’s witnessed his therapy dogs perform over hundreds of trips to their favorite places. Currently in his second generation of therapy dogs, Frei gives his Cavalier King Charles Spaniel “Angel” and Brittany “Grace” all the credit for the life-altering work they do cheering up ailing children at Morgan Stanley’s Children’s Hospital, spending time with recovering patients at NewYork- Presbyterian Hospital, and placing a paw in the hand of world-weary veterans at the Washington DC VA Medical Center. Never sappy or sentimental, Frei’s writing style is straightforward and honest with a swiftness that keeps the reader turning pages (and wiping tears). Beyond the inspiring storytelling, the book also offers practical advice to potential therapy dog handlers about how to get a dog certified with a proper registry, the responsibilities that accompany therapy work, and the importance of community involvement. Frei’s association with Westminster yielded the formation of a nonprofit organization called Angel on a Leash (the book’s namesake), which Frei was the key founder. Although the organization is now a separate entity from its famous “parent,” Best in Show winners of Westminster have frequently retired from the show ring into the realm of therapy work, receiving Frei’s encouragement and guidance. Among the many exquisite moments captured in the book’s photography section are portraits of Rufus, the Colored Bull Terrier; James, the English Spring Spaniel; and Uno, the Beagle, all supreme victors of the famous show, spending time with children on therapy visits.

Book Description
AVA It seemed like a good idea at the time. I'd met Jasmina at an old school friend's wedding a couple of months ago. I happened to be sitting with Al, who'd been my boyfriend at the time, at the same table as she and her husband, Nick. At some point during the evening I'd mentioned that I did some house sitting along with temping as a PA. Then, a few weeks later she'd phoned me and asked if I'd be available to house sit for them for a month. Her husband was to be best man at a friend's wedding in Mauritius and they'd decided that they'd like to make a big holiday of it at the same time. It couldn't have come at a better time seeing that I was 'between boyfriends' (I'd discovered that Al was married, a small detail he'd failed to mention before). I was 'between homes', seeing that my landlord had given me two months' notice to vacate on account of he was selling up, and 'between jobs', because the girl I'd been doing maternity cover for had decided that she'd rather return to work early and put up with a hot-tempered boss everyday than a wailing baby. So, of course, I'd bitten their hands off; it would give me some breathing space and time to re-coup and anyway, what wouldn't be to like about living in a chocolate box cottage in the middle of the countryside for a month, not only rent free but getting paid for it too? I'd be a fool not to, wouldn't I? So okay, maybe I should have asked more about it and maybe I should have listened when she had told me that it wouldn't be just a straightforward house sit. But no, I'd been my usual impulsive self and I'd not asked any questions apart from when and how much. So here I was, up to my knees in mud, my armpits in vegetables and I'd better not even mention the chickens, dogs and goats, let alone the drop dead sexy guy from next door who always seemed to turn up at the wrong time.LUKEOkay, I'm not normally the nosey kind, I promise, but I didn't think I'd ever been so curious about anyone; I just couldn't make out my new temporary neighbour. She was like an incredibly sexy calamity Jane in a dishevelled, fiery sort of way that made me laugh one minute and horny the next. And her long blonde hair that she kept clipped up in a tangled mess on top of her head just cried out to be released and tamed into submission, and I wanted to be the one to do it.To be honest, she couldn't have arrived at a worse time because I was just in the process of starting my new architectural business, working from home, because after ten years I'd decided to line my own pockets instead of my ex-partner's, David. We'd come to blows for the last time about six months ago about my over loaded client list compared to his; all the while splitting everything fifty-fifty. He favoured golf, expensive lunches, long holidays, having more women that I'd care to count and doing as little work as possible. So I'd decided that I'd had enough and was going to go it on my own, taking my contacts with me. But I hadn't bargained for the distraction of this wild female next door, who'd arrived at my neighbour's cottage and looked as gorgeous in mud caked wellies as in strappy stilettos.I'll be honest, we hadn't got off to a good start and I was trying to make amends, but each time something happened and I invariably ended up looking like a prized prat. I knew that she wouldn't be here in the village for long and the best thing for me to do would be to keep my head down and ignore the draw she had on me. I needed to focus on my business, because this was my livelihood, but every time I tried, something would happen and I'd be either making a fool out of myself or making a fool out of her. So, I reckoned that all I needed to do was keep my head down and to focus on my work instead of her. How hard could it be?
