Eris

Chambers Robert W.

Sinopse

THE baby was born at Whitewater Farms about nine in the morning, April 19, 1900. Two pure-breed calves,—one a heifer, the other a bull,—were dropped the same day at nearly the same hour. Odell came in toward noon, heard these farm items from his foreman, Ed Lister. For twenty years Odell’s marriage had been childless. He had waited in vain for a son,—for several sons,—and now, after twenty sterile years of hardship, drudgery, and domestic discord, Fanny had given him a girl. He stood in silence, chewing the bitter news. “ Awright,” he said, “that’s that ! Is Queen doin’ good?” Whitewater Queen was doing as well as could be expected and her fourth heifer-calf was a miracle of Guernsey beauty.

The Dove

Scott Floe

Some stories glide softly on the breeze, fleeting and elusive, while others find their voice in the peaceful cooing of doves. These represent the truths we seek, taking us back and forth in the universe of the familiar. "The Dove" by Scott Floe is also an intense tale of longing, love, and the unseen connections that hook us to home, memory, and the people we leave behind. 
Through the eyes of Liam and Lillian, we travel through sun-drenched coastlines and storm-tossed sentiments. Here, every wave harbors a secret, and every goodbye reflects like an unfinished sentence. 
When their family is uprooted from the only home they've ever known, Liam resists grabbing onto the elements of her past, while Lillian retains to adopt the unknown. 
In a world where change feels like an invincible tide, they must steer the shifting landscapes of childhood, friendship, and family-realizing that home is not always a place but a feeling we hold within us. 
Lyrical, acute, and deeply moving, it accounts for anyone who has ever had to say goodbye to the familiar and encounter the intrepidity to chase the horizon.
