Book Description
Alone in the Michigan wilderness with only the Pottawatomie Indians for neighbors, Olive and Simon Chatfield, educated Quakers from New York state, start a two-room log cabin and trading post on the banks of the Grand River, a place the Natives call the Forks. When Olive goes into early labor for her ninth child, her two younger boys bring Cloud, the Pottawatomie medicine woman, to help, and a life-long friendship is forged. As the white man's civilization takes hold and turns the pristine virgin forests of the Michigan territory into farms and businesses, the Natives try to adopt the ways of the white man by learning their language, farming and attending their schools and churches. Glyn, Simon and Olive's son, knew only pain and sorrow until he fell in love with Gray Dove, a Pottawatomie maiden who lost most of her family to smallpox. As the government and everyone around them turns hostile towards the Natives, Glyn struggles desperately to find a way to keep Gray Dove from being removed when President Jackson signs the Indian Removal Act. The author has put to pen the vibrant tales told by his ancestors about the early settlement of the Michigan territory. He has woven these stories together with historical fact, to bring to life the adventures of the Chatfields in the 1830s as they struggled to help build up a town now known as "The Only Eaton Rapids on Earth."

Book Description
Deemed too small for his school Gaelic football team at the age of fourteen, Rob Heffernan took up race walking on a whim. Driven by a fiercely competitive nature and a dogged desire to be the best, he strode his way to the pinnacle of the sport, winning bronze in the London 2012 Olympics and becoming world champion in Moscow in 2013. In 2016, he became the first athlete to represent Ireland at the Olympic Games for a fifth time. In this no-holds-barred account, Rob describes his battles with injury, depression and poverty on his way to the top. Even when at his best, he found himself cheated out of medals by those who crossed the dark line into doping. He candidly tells of the confrontations with Athletics Ireland and the Irish Sports Council that raged in the background to his struggle for that prestigious Olympic medal. This is the inside story of how one boy's dream led him from the council flats of his tough upbringing to the winners' podium. It is also a heartfelt chronicle of the sometimes nightmare-ridden journey to become a top athlete in this gruelling sport.
