He asks Courtney to assist him, which she does. Basil, learning that Courtney is free, returns to her only to be turned away... Excerpt: "Courtship and honeymoon of Richard Vaughan and Courtney Benedict are told accurately enough by a thousand chroniclers of love's fairy tales and dreams.

Richard and Courtney have returned from Arcady to reality, to central Indiana and the Vaughan homestead, across the narrow width of Wenona the lake from Wenona the town."

"Generous and entertaining." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and columnist comes a "fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave" (Cheryl Strayed) collection of heartwarming personal essays "as wonderful as her fiction" (Mindy Kaling) that "will enthusiastically reach out to readers and swiftly draw them close" (Publishers Weekly , starred review). Jennifer Weiner is many things: a bestselling author, a Twitter phenomenon, and an "unlikely feminist enforcer" (The New Yorker ). She's also a mom, a daughter, and a sister, a clumsy yogini, and a reality-TV devotee. In this "unflinching look at her own experiences" (Entertainment Weekly ), Jennifer fashions tales of modern-day womanhood as uproariously funny and moving as the best of Nora Ephron and Tina Fey. No subject is off-limits in these intimate and honest essays: sex, weight, envy, money, her mother's coming out of the closet, her estranged father's death. From lonely adolescence to hearing her six-year-old daughter say the F word-fat-for the first time, Jen dives into the heart of female experience, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to fans all over the world.

Shortlisted for the NZ Post Award this fascinating, innovative biography is of a true original and significant figure in NZ's early colonisation. "I love doubters: of a truly honest doubter I have great hope." Printer, botanist and missionary, William Colenso was a nineteenth-century maverick, a true original. He protested at the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, arguing that Maori did not fully understand its implications. He became a troubled conscience during the white-hot period of colonisation, maintaining his dissident voice throughout his career. Peter Wells refreshes our vision of this awkward, highly talented man, who lost his family after the church expelled him for fathering a child by a Maori woman. Rejected by church, family and friends, Colenso made botany his home and lovingly described the plants of New Zealand. At the same time he wrote a series of remarkable pamphlets that open up our past. 'I write for future generations,' he noted in 1881. The time has come to welcome Colenso back.

Spiritual Gumbo is a book based on the testimonies of ordinary people who are members and friends of Agape Community Church in Lancaster, California. These testimonies are expressed through essays, poetry, short stories and sermons. There are even a few recipes thrown in for flavor. The naming of the book came from the finished manuscript which had a mixture of ingredients like a dish called gumbo. Gumbo is, "soup you can bite" or sink your teeth into. The ingredients in spiritual gumbo came from imperfect people who share how Jesus Christ has impacted and changed their lives. Spiritual Gumbo is for "unpeople". Unpeople are the unconcerned, the unspiritual, the unchurched and those who consider themselves unreachable. Spiritual Gumbo for the Hungry Heart is best experienced when read slowly over a period of time or it can be gobbled down in one sitting. If reading is exercise for the mind then reading Spiritual Gumbo is food for a hungry heart. It is a book you can sink your teeth into!
