Living Without Arms
A clergy retreat is purposed by good intentions, not a time to tell lies on how well it goes. The exception to that is a retired minister, whose first name is not coincidentally Donald. He shouts down Oregons Interim Conference Minister Nathan Spark and makes it clear that you are rubbish to be dumped in a bin and left. There is not room for both of us on this earth! At which point, he stomps from the room. Nathan learns the rubbish remark isnt new. His predecessor, the irrepressible Creighton Yale, heard the same rant. So Nathan decides its better to see about catching Redside trout out of the Deschutes River near Maupin, Oregon. As he casts, someone walks up to him and holds a fly rod but wears no wading boots. They say the normal greetings. The last thing Nathan remembers is watching Madame Xs fly floating the surface. When he awakens, he cant see, and his hands and feet are bound. It doesnt take long to become rubbish. It was almost a week without water or food, and he was covered in slime from his excretions. Would help arrive in a cabin with no light? When help arrives, dehydration is in control. The battle between living and death is neither academic nor metaphorical. Shit is shit. Months later, no longer reeking with the bad odor, he and his new wife, Tricia Gleason, share with Tricias congregation in Tillamook, Oregon, that they are pregnant. The joy lasts until the fifth month, when a sonogram reveals their infant-to-be-born has no arms. What to do? When they share with their congregation, one member stomps out about the disgrace of having an armless baby. She tirades, God must be really furious with you. What have you done? You must be really bad! Apprehending the culprit who put Nathan in the cabin takes time. The most pressing matter is clear: having a baby with no arms. What should they do? Read on.
A Tale Without a Name
The kingdom used to be a place of paved roads and well-filled coffers, with joy and the good life all around. But the old king went the way of all flesh years ago, and now the kingdom is derelict, a land ofwickedness and ruin. But a young prince and his sister begin to see what must be done, and-if they can-to restore what has been lost. For a hundred years A Tale Without a Name has been one of Greece's best-loved stories. This playful, wise fable is enchanting for readers of any age, as meaningful and moving now as when it was first written.
Chinook
"I don’t go looking for it, but trouble seems to find me.” It’s the summer of 1977 in Medicine Hat, Alberta and twelve-year-old Will Widmann’s biggest problems are worrying about starting junior high in the fall, maintaining his summer lawn-mowing business, and avoiding the bullying Lowe brothers. But a bigger problem emerges when he meets Harper, a tough-talking teenaged girl who seems to be hiding in fear for her life. Will doesn’t know it yet, but evil has come to sleepy Medicine Hat, and by helping Harper he’ll be running afoul of a criminal gang and ending up at the centre of a robbery, kidnapping, and murder plot that puts him into heart-stopping danger. Told in Will Widmann’s anxious, self-deprecating, and frequently hilarious voice, Chinook is a fast-paced thriller with a painfully observant perspective on emerging from childhood into adolescence as well as touching relationships; colorful, specific characters; complicated family dynamics; and sharp, funny dialogue.
