In the Heart of France

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

"In the Heart of France: Our Journey of Transformation in Burgundy" is an inspiring and heartwarming memoir that takes readers on an extraordinary journey of love, renovation, and self-discovery.

When American poet Jeffrey Greene and his wife, Mary, stumbled upon a moss-covered stone presbytery in the charming village of Puisaye, they knew they had found their destiny. With hearts filled with anticipation, they embarked on an adventure to transform this 300-year-old building into a habitable refuge. Little did they know that this decision would not only change their living space but also their lives forever.

With vivid prose and disarming honesty, Jeffrey Greene chronicles their renovation journey, filled with unexpected challenges and heartwarming surprises. From uncovering hidden treasures within the old stones to navigating cultural differences with the locals, their story is a testament to the power of perseverance, resilience, and the transformative power of love.

As they delved deeper into the French way of life, Jeffrey and Mary discovered the true meaning of community and the importance of embracing the unknown. They explored bustling markets, savored delectable local cuisine, and formed deep connections with the people of Puisaye. Through their experiences, they gained a newfound appreciation for simplicity, authenticity, and the art of living well.

"In the Heart of France" is more than just a renovation story; it is a poignant and inspiring tale of transformation. It is a reminder of the importance of cherishing life's simple pleasures, embracing change, and stepping outside one's comfort zone. As readers journey alongside Jeffrey and Mary, they will be inspired to discover the hidden treasures that await them in the heart of France and within themselves.

With its lyrical prose, heartwarming anecdotes, and universal themes of love, transformation, and the pursuit of happiness, "In the Heart of France" is a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration, adventure, and a deeper connection to the world around them.

Life & Fable

Guislaine Vincent

A line of pain runs through generations of families… until one generation stops to question the ancestral forces behind the door. In Life & Fable Guislaine Vincent explores archetypal patterns in the ancestral background of her family's storytelling, peeling away the layers to discover a self in myth and fable. As the narrative unfolds, it's the implacable presence of childhood that recurs, not only in events, but in how events reveal the self. Mektoub, my father would say: it is written. From a great grandfather found in the deserts of Syria and named after the monastery that takes him in to the pain of losing a child; from a childhood of 14 schools across multiple countries to training as a Jungian Psychoanalyst, this is a life story that asks deep questions about who we are and how we peel back reality to find the truth in fables. A story of resilience and the epiphany of how powerful it is to have a name.

The Amelia Earhart Mystery -...

John Harpoon

Amelia Earhart's name has become synonymous with courage, ambition, and mystery. As one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century, her groundbreaking achievements in aviation and her tragic disappearance continue to captivate historians, researchers, and the general public. Earhart’s life was a tapestry of pioneering success and relentless determination, making her a symbol of human resilience and curiosity.
Born in 1897, Earhart grew up with a passion for adventure, defying the gender norms of her time. Her fascination with flying began during her twenties, and she quickly rose to prominence as an aviator. From being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean to setting numerous records for altitude and speed, Earhart consistently pushed the boundaries of what women could achieve. Beyond her aerial accomplishments, she was also a writer, lecturer, and staunch advocate for women’s rights, inspiring generations to dream beyond societal expectations.
Yet, it is not just Earhart’s achievements that cement her legacy. The enduring mystery surrounding her disappearance in 1937 during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe has kept her story alive in a way few others have achieved. Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, vanished somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, sparking one of the largest search efforts in history. Despite extensive naval and aerial searches, no definitive trace of Earhart or her aircraft was ever found, leaving room for endless speculation and theories.
