  The story of life on a French olive farm continues with this moving memoir of hard work, hard luck, and waiting for the return of happiness. Carol Drinkwater and her husband, Michel, arrive at their villa in Provence in anticipation of another glorious summer. Unfortunately, they find the farm unkempt and suffering from lack of rainfall. When their gardener, Monsieur Quashia, finally shows up, he cheerfully explains the shed-building project he’s working on as a surprise for them—a surprise that will send their expenses skyrocketing. But there are bigger problems to come than wild boars tearing through fences and other everyday challenges of farming. After a terrifying accident in Monte Carlo and a hospital stay, Michel is barely functional, and Carol soon realizes she must fend for herself. Burdened with problems from a financial reversal to the threat of nearby wildfires, she will experience firsthand the uncertainties that have plagued farmers since the dawn of agriculture—and hold on to hope that in the end, nature will provide. “A storyteller of great economy and deftness.” —The Telegraph

  Good Nature - Why Seeing...

  We all take for granted the idea that being in nature makes us feel better. But if you were a skeptic who wanted hard scientific evidence for this idea, where would you look? And how would that evidence be gathered? It wasn't until Dr. Kathy Willis was asked to contribute to an international project looking for the societal benefits we gain from plants that she stumbled across a study that radically changed the way she saw the natural world. In the study there was clear proof that patients recovering from gall bladder operations recovered more quickly if they were looking at trees. 
   
   
   
  In fact, in the last decade there has been an explosion of "proof" that incredible things happen to our bodies and our minds when our senses interact with the natural world. In Good Nature, Kathy Willis takes the listener on a journey with her to dig out all the experiments around the world that are looking for this evidence. What is remarkable about this book is how its revelations should be commonsense—schools should let children play in nature to improve their health and concentration; urban streets should have trees—and yet it reveals just how difficult it is to prove this to businesses and governments. As Kathy Willis says in her narrative, "Nature is far more than just something that is useful for our health. It is not a dispensable commodity. It is an inherent part of us."

  She was never meant to be seen. 
   
  Born in the abyss—where light has never touched and pressure shapes every living thing—she was destined to remain hidden. A creature of the deep, unseen by the world above, drifting through the blackness, waiting. 
   
  Until one day… she rose. 
   
  For reasons unknown, a lone anglerfish ascended from the depths, leaving behind the only world she had ever known. She swam toward something distant, something beautiful—a light that was not her own. 
   
  And when she reached it… she was gone. 
   
  But not before she was seen. 
   
  A passing diver captured her final moments. The video spread like wildfire. The world mourned a creature it had never known—but somehow instantly loved.
   
  The Fish Who Touched the Light is a poetic, emotional, and symbolic retelling of a real-life moment that mesmerized millions. Through science, storytelling, and deep emotional reflection, it brings new meaning to the strange and beautiful journey of one deep-sea anglerfish. 
   
  Inside, you’ll discover: 
  
  The alien, pressure-crushed world of the deep ocean—and the life that thrives there 
  What happens when deep-sea creatures rise to the surface 
  The meaning people found in her journey—and why it struck such a powerful chord 
  The symbolic connection between her story and our own human search for purpose 
  
   
  This is not just a book about a fish. 
   
  It’s about longing. About exploration. About rising beyond what you were built for—toward something greater. 
   
  For those who felt something when they saw her… 
   
  For those who can’t stop thinking about her rise… 
   
  For those who know what it means to chase the light… 
   
  This story is for you.
