Book Description
With over 15,000 copies sold, Cycling the Kettle Valley has proven to be a remarkable resource for anyone interested in the stunning abandoned railbed located in the southern interior of British Columbia. One of the premier rail trails in North America, it contains spectacular sections through impressive canyons requiring tunnels and trestles to carry the railbed through rock ridges and across mountain streams. Growing public interest in conservation of the railbed and its structures, along with government support, has resulted in many improvements in both access and safety. The Kettle Valley Railway and its many connectors offer the cyclist everything from easy day-riding to multi-day adventures through the magnificent scenery of southern British Columbia between Midway and Hope. This world-renowned guidebook includes detailed maps, safety tips, historic information, a listing of accommodations and a kilometre by kilometre guide to each of the Kettle Valley Railway subdivisions.

Book Description
What if Peter Pan was a homeless kid just trying to survive, and Wendy flew away for a really good reason?Seventeen-year-old Kettle has had his share of adversity. As an orphaned Japanese American struggling to make a life in the aftermath of an event in history not often referred to--the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and the removal of children from orphanages for having "one drop of Japanese blood in them"--things are finally looking up. He has his hideout in an abandoned subway tunnel, a job, and his gang of Lost Boys.Desperate to run away, the world outside her oppressive brownstone calls to naïve, eighteen-year-old Nora--the privileged daughter of a controlling and violent civil rights lawyer who is building a compensation case for the interned Japanese Americans. But she is trapped, enduring abuse to protect her younger sister Frankie and wishing on the stars every night for things to change.For months, they've lived side by side, their paths crossing yet never meeting. But when Nora is nearly killed and her sister taken away, their worlds collide as Kettle, grief stricken at the loss of a friend, angrily pulls Nora from her window.In her honeyed eyes, Kettle sees sadness and suffering. In his, Nora sees the chance to take to the window and fly away.Set in 1953, NORA AND KETTLE explores the collision of two teenagers facing extraordinary hardship. Their meeting is inevitable, devastating, and ultimately healing. Their stories, a collection of events, are each on their own harmless. But together, one after the other, they change the world.

Book Description
This award-winning, unforgettable collection is written in the voices of people living and working in the coal camps during the West Virginia mine wars of 1920-1921, featuring poems that illustrate how a community responded to a time of danger. Written in the voices of people living and working in the coal camps during the West Virginia coal mine wars of 1920-1921, these vivid poems show how a community responded to a time of danger. KETTLE BOTTOM imagines the stories of miners, their wives, children, sisters, and mothers; of mountaineers, Italian immigrants, and African American families -- people who organized for safe working conditions in opposition to the mine company owners and their agents. The poet, Diane Gilliam, whose family was part of the Appalachian outmigration from Mingo County, West Virginia, and Johnson County, Kentucky, has created a book of poems that address a violent time with honesty, levity, and compassion. At its core, KETTLE BOTTOM is about how a community lived in the presence of multiple risks and the choices the residents made. "Like the Michelangelo of her poem who 'cuts away everything from the stone that is not David, ' Diane Gilliam makes the stone of the West Virginia mountains yield up its human past, and gives a second, enduring life through her art to the people of her home place, who would otherwise be 'all gone under the hill.' Her community is fortunate to have harbored such a poet, and American poetry is the larger for this extraordinary book."--Eleanor Wilner "Mining may be men's work, but the conditions of this work pervade their family lives. Their wives and children bear the fallout from the mines ... [Gilliam] creates a self inside this history and makes this history personal. At the same time, she locates this self in a larger world, drawing on her family stories and culture to create a collective identity from this tragedy."--Teow Lim Goh, Tin House "In KETTLE BOTTOM, Diane Gilliam probes the emotional truth of coal camp history, and then extracts it--holds its darkness in the light of her brilliant lines."--Joyce Dyer "Students immediately engaged with the poems; faculty found the poems a productive way of exploring issues of class, of race, of history and who gets to tell it, of suffering, of moral choice, and of resilience."--Carol Christ, President of Smith College Poetry. History. Family & Relationships. Women's Studies.
