In school, she is a wallflower. She has few friends despite being a quite likable person. Her best friend is her malamute, Tucker. Almost daily after school River goes to "her world;" an area deep in the forest that no one else visits. There she studies, reads, or just disconnects for awhile. There, away from society, she can be herself. She doesn't have to try to blend in to the crowd when there is no crowd to blend in to. Life is great for River until her mother starts dating a logger who sees no value in the preservation of nature. Upset and frustrated, River takes Tucker and runs away to her world in the dead of night hoping he will not find her beautiful grove and destroy it.

One woman. One broken farm. One man determined to erase it all. Evie is exhausted by city life and desperate for a fresh start for her five-year-old daughter. When she risks everything on a neglected 110-acre farm in West Virginia, she believes the land can become something rare: a place that heals. Jacob Lane disagrees. A corporate auditor trained to see numbers, not miracles, Jacob arrives with one mission, to sell the land and turn it into a luxury golf course. But as Evie breathes life back into the soil and her daughter's quiet wisdom softens even the hardest edges, Jacob begins to see the land, and Evie, differently. When powerful interests move to bulldoze the farm, Evie must step out of the shadows and fight for more than land. She must prove that healing has value... and that some roots are worth protecting.

Simple-minded, God-fearing Jaroth is left with six children and a large settlement in 1920's rural Alabama after his wife dies. Inconsistencies in this short tale are intentional, as they are meant to reflect a speech pattern that, not unlike our own, tends to deviate from any form of structure, especially when certain words are prefaced or followed by other words that cause the speaker to alter sounds to be better understood. This is almost always done subconsciously. I hope that once you find the flow of the speech that you will fully enjoy the story, itself.

Rory Callum never wanted this. He'd never asked to live forever. He'd never asked to be alone for eternity. And he'd sure never asked to be cursed to shift into a bear on every harvest moon. But, that's what he's had to deal with for the past 400 years, being invisible, a haunt, for every day and night of the year except for the few blood red moons. And then, he's not even himself. Rory has had no contact with a human for nearly 5 centuries, and he's sick of it. So, you can imagine his surprise when he finds someone who can not only see him, but can hear, smell, and feel him. He's ecstatic, but will his bear get in the way?
