Book Description
"Love is an uneasy river. It flows deep, with emotional currents that will not be contained in a single spot. Always moving, always evolving, it carries with it all the fragments of life it collects along the way..." A River Called Forever is a true and inspirational story about aging, life, love, and death. It chronicles the journey that begins when a twenty-nine year old baby boomer is thrust into the role of parental caregiver and ends twenty-two years later with the death of both parents. Along the way there are lighthearted explorations into the reasons God gives us families, parents as hooligans, and the patience to survive them, all set against the backdrop of growing up in the 1950-60's. The work also reveals the increasing challenge of our society as forty-five million Americans face the reality of caring for those who once cared for them. The story pivots around a mother's deathbed and the resurrection of life's memories in the final hours. It offers an in-depth glimpse into a profound encounter that altered one family's perception forever. A River Called Forever exists as a testament to hope-eternal for all those who will take on the responsibility of caring for others. Visit www.arivercalledforever.com for additional information.

Book Description
Grace Brantley is a curious and imaginative six-year-old girl trying to cope with a divided and constantly changing family environment. The story follows Grace through a turbulent childhood where the only stabilizing elements to be found are her widowed grandmother and a devoted uncle. Grace finds comfort and safety in the few things she can relate to as constants in her life, such as the town where she lives, its inhabitants, and her ongoing fascination with the Ohio River and the mysteries it hides. Grace's intense need to hold on to certain relationships while allowing others to become less important, provide a glimpse into the mind of a child trying to find a quality of life that will allow her to understand values and set priorities. The search takes Grace to places where no child should have to go, but it also reveals the true essence of life, which she finds, can at times be beautiful, but also cruel and demanding, even with the very young. Without even realizing it, Grace finds through her continuous struggles to cope a resolve that is both enlightening and creative in spirit. Her self-confidence is brought about through the balance that is found in the understanding of not only people, but of nature itself. Her childlike faith in God, having been instilled in her early on by her grandmother, will provide the much-needed tension to maintain that balance.

Book Description
A classic and heartbreaking tale of one man’s fight to protect nature, and a treasured way of life, against the forces of greed. In a corner of the Big Cypress Swamp, to the north of the Florida Everglades, lives Charlie Jumper, and eighty-six-year-old Seminole man. Unlike the younger American Indians who have adopted white civilization, Charlie and his wife cling to the old ways, hunting and fishing in the great swamp and farming a tiny plot of higher ground. Charlie has been diligently teaching his grandson, Timmy, about the swamp and its creatures. But their simple existence is suddenly threatened when a large tract of swamp is bought by a corporation, and Charlie is told that he will have to leave. From his youth, Charlie remembers the slaughter of egrets and alligators by the white man and the logging of the giant cypress. Rather than surrender the land that is his life to this final indignity, Charlie decides to fight back. It is an uneven contest. First come the great machines that silt up the streams; then the workmen inadvertently poison the marsh; and, attempting to sabotage the construction equipment, Charlie’s best friend is killed. Realizing that there can be no compromise with the white man who destroys all he touches, Charlie leaves his family and feels into the swamp, seeking the lost island known in the Seminole legends as Forever Island.

Book Description
Originally published in 1956, A River Called Titash is among the most highly acclaimed novels in Bengali literature. A unique combination of folk poetry and ethnography, Adwaita Mallabarman's tale of a Malo fishing village at the turn of the century captures the songs, speech, rituals, and rhythms of a once self-sufficient community and culture swept away by natural catastrophe, modernization, and political conflict. Both historical document and work of art, this lyrical novel provides an intimate view of a community of Hindu fishers and Muslim peasants, coexisting peacefully before the violent partition of Bengal between India and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Mallabarman's story documents a way of life that has all but disappeared. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.

Book Description
Sushama's finesse of mind, her subtle and astute observation of life and nature take the reader right into the heart of the human soul through the power of her storytelling skills. Sushama's short stories are all about the meanderings of the human soul in quest of balance, truth and freedom. Be it Pratap, the Indian engineer who develops a beautiful bond with Emma, the untamed, or Ulla, the beautiful Black girl from Tanzania who wins her future husband's respect; thanks to her charisma. Be it the legendary hero, Nachiketa from the Kathopanishad, who discovers his freedom, learning wisdom from Yama, the divinity of Death. Be it Narmada, the river with a volatile path of fury and peace – all these characters come to life from the writer's pen and bring us truth to ponder. Sushama likes to create spaces where the reader may enter to write their own script either in resonance or in contrast. Alternately, she invites the reader to participate and share in imagination the places where her characters dwelt and the times wherein they lived. Her natural sense of poetry breathes in her prose, and through her Indian sensibility, Sushama tells us stories that always ask questions, like a maieutic, leading the reader to seek answers.

This widely acclaimed bestseller is the magical, epic tale of an extraordinary man who arrives in New York in 1740 and remains . . . forever. Through the eyes of Cormac O'Connor -- granted immortality as long as he never leaves the island of Manhattan -- we watch New York grow from a tiny settlement on the tip of an untamed wilderness to the thriving metropolis of today. And through Cormac's remarkable adventures in both love and war, we come to know the city's buried secrets -- the way it has been shaped by greed, race, and waves of immigration, by the unleashing of enormous human energies, and, above all, by hope.

Book Description
6 x 9 Quality Trade Paperback: A collage of excerpts from an inner and creative journal spanning twenty-two years, between 1990's and 2010. It is a journey through parallel worlds, that of the "real" and the necessary, and that, which often seems more "real" to me: my conversations with my "angels," in the inner and creative world. My quest did not begin twenty-two years ago, but is one that I feel I embarked on when I was born, perhaps even before I was born. The journaling of both my angst and achievements, and my time spent "in the presence of angels," some sensed, some imagined, some real people, some in nature, and even God's critters, has been of infinite personal value, especially as a road-map charting the paths I have traveled, from then to now to there and back again.I hope you will be encouraged to know that no matter the circumstances of your life at the moment there is a wisdom, a love, something beyond and above your circumstances that wishes to guide you toward a fulfilling life.
