  Kat Ward is a survivor - and this book is her testimony. 
  Having overcome an abusive childhood - in which she was abused by family members, care staff and even celebrities - you would have thought that karma might have dealt her some kinder hands when it came to her adult life. Well, it didn't. 
  After spending the majority of it simply trying to recover from her childhood, she was eventually forced to confront that monster which apparently awaits 1 in 3 of us at some point in our lives: cancer. 
  After receiving a diagnosis of aggressive bowel cancer at 53, Kat's life was once again set on a trajectory for the worse. Suddenly, she found herself at the foot of a mountain - one that would require a great deal of support and determination merely to scale; let alone descend. 
  These are her memoirs of that very personal journey; from the initial diagnosis, through to the life-changing operations - and beyond. It's not a story for the feint-hearted; nor is it a medical journal. What it is, is an honest, no-holds-barred glimpse into the life of a cancer sufferer, and a book of support for all those in similar situations. It is a light at every stage of the tunnel…

  Faye  Lippitt is a journalist who found her inspiration in the happy chaos that enveloped their home as she and her husband raised their six children. The six arrived in eight years, sometimes arriving two by two,  which made for interesting times.
   
  This  book is a series of snapshots of the family at their home in the  foothills of the Canadian Rockies. It is also about choices. As Faye puts it, when chaos rains, your response is your choice. Laugh? Cringe? Cry? Laughter feels a whole lot better.
   
  It’s the author’s hope that busy parents will steal five minutes of the day to read one of the stories, and another five to write their own in the back pages of the book. For time flies, and memories fade and the things our children do and say are crazy enough and precious enough to keep forever.
   
  
   
  Faye
   and her husband Greg now spend their time between Canada and the 
  Caribbean and are blessed with enough grandchildren to keep the laughter
   coming.

  Short Poems of John MiltonWith a preface by Samuel ThurberNarrated by Denis DalyWhile the issues of the day that consumed the attention of scholar, accomplished linguist, politician and severe Puritan, John Milton (1608 - 1674) are now largely of historical interest, the verse which they inspired remains a staple of English literature.   Although he is best known today for his poetic epics, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained,  Milton was also a master of shorter verse forms, particularly the sonnet, in which many consider him second only to Shakespeare. This collection includes twenty-one of Milton's best-known short works.
