Book Description
Jenny Longworth's recent marriage to widower David Perry is tested on multiple fronts. Despite her efforts to adapt to living in Europe, she experiences increasing bouts of homesickness. Beyond the continuing challenge of adjusting to a new country and a new language, Jenny must define her role as stepmother to two young adults. Jenny suspects David's son Marc has a drug addiction, but David defends Marc's behavior as a "passing phase." When his daughter Delphine gets into financial difficulty, David's protective instincts run counter to Jenny's views on accountability. As David and Jenny struggle to negotiate their differences, their challenge is heightened by David's retirement and financial pressures of their own, leading them to consider repatriating to the US. In this sequel to Judge Not, author Lee Lowry completes her trilogy of mid-life love and second marriage with an intimate account of the give and take essential to a healthy relationship.

Book Description
Winner of the 2017 Connecticut Book Award for Poetry Winner of the 2015 Idaho Prize for Poetry The poems in Danielle Pieratti's Fugitives are punctuated by avoidance, disguise, and sheltering of all kinds--escapes both from and to. They combine the magical and the mundane, shifting between dreams and the domestic, while exploring the nebulous confines of marriage, motherhood, and girlhood. Ultimately they learn a kind of tentative security in a 'strange, unyielding, ' and deserved present, one in which 'You are / safer than you thought. / You are almost / sleeping. And your body / is shaped like cloth and sounds / like a century.'

Book Description
The remarkable true saga of an exceptional animal—and the no less exceptional man who led him to greatness: “Seabiscuit had nothing on Beautiful Jim Key.” —Sacramento Bee Beautiful Jim Key—the onetime ugly duckling of a scrub colt who became one of the most beloved heroes of the turn of the twentieth century—was adored not for his beauty and speed but rather for his remarkable abilities to read, write, spell, do mathematics, even debate politics. Trained with patience and kindness by one of the most renowned horse whisperers of his day—former slave, Civil War veteran, and self-taught veterinarian Dr. William Key—Jim performed in expositions across the country to wildly receptive crowds for nine glorious years, smashing box office records, clearing towering hurdles of skepticism and prejudice, and earning the respect and admiration of some of the most influential figures of the era, from Booker T. Washington to President William McKinley. “Wonderful . . . a fascinating and touching book.” —Winston-Salem Journal “If Beautiful Jim Key were alive today, he’d have a movie deal.” —People “A classic. . . . a window into a lost world.” —Nashville Scene “Chronicles the adventures of a great horse and the men who loved him . . . engaging.” —Entertainment Weekly “Compelling . . . a vivid slice of Americana.” —Parade “Captivating.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

These samplings, presented with as few trappings as possible, will reaffirm for readers the nature of the poetry in poetry. Serious poetry is not written to satisfy literary opinion. Poetry, like philosophy, is a survival skill. --Lost Horse Press.

Book Description
An owners inside look at the world of Thoroughbred Racing with an informative and yet comical view of the "Sport of Kings"! Handicappers, casual bettors and horse owners spend lots of time and money trying to correctly analyze the field of a horse race. Currently there are several past performance publications , hundreds of handicapping systems, computer programs, tip sheets, etc, available to those looking for the handicappers "edge". So why is it then, in most cases, that the horse which that has been selected by the betting public as the favorite, loses 3 out of every 4 races? Perhaps that while the general public bases their selections on past performances and trends, they are in fact overlooking the many obstacles a horse faces in the actual race itself. Owning racehorses gave me an inside look at the many reasons a horse may lose a race. Many times the reasons (excuses) are left out of most handicapping equations when selecting the bettor's choice.The reasons (or excuses) I have heard over the years, of why our horses lost certainly must apply to the other horses in the races that lost when our horses actually won. Horse owners will find this book entertaining and informative while handicappers and casual bettors will get an inside look at what owners are told after their horse loses a race. Excuses, Excuses!
