Stable Relation - A Memoir of...

Anna Blake

**2016 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Award Winner* *National Indie Excellence Award Finalist** When most women go through a mid-life crisis, they start a diet, get plastic surgery, or have an affair. My life went to the dogs...and horses...and llamas... and did I mention happy hour with the goats?My urban world came apart, so I took a leap of faith and crash-landed on a dilapidated would-be horse farm on the flat, windy, treeless prairie of Colorado. It was a place where white horses turn pink at sunrise and I didn't have to worry about locking the back entry to the house, because the door was missing. The biggest social event of any week was greeting the trash man on Tuesday. And what should I do about the deceased llama in the laundry room?
Any decent midlife crisis has a quality of time travel, in this case swinging back to my childhood farm and my disconnected, secretive family, then forward to the animals who became my family on the prairie. My dogs and horses were soon joined by some line-dancing llamas and a biker-gang of goat kids, defying gravity and every other rule. I rescued an abused donkey who told me he was Ernest, and Windy, an un-wanted chestnut mare who became our beloved herd matriarch. Even Fred, the duck lived by a code.
It's the memoir of my bittersweet transition from a mid-life orphan to a modern pioneer woman, building an entirely different kind of family farm.
Stable Relation appeals to all animal lovers, midlife survivors, and anyone whose parents had problems of their own. It's told in a strong, bittersweet voice, sharing life and death on a small farm and the healing power of animals: James Herriot meets Janette Walls.

Plutus

Aristophanes

In Plutus, Aristophanes delivers a comedic yet thought-provoking critique of social inequality and the moral values of Athenian society. The play centers on Chremylus, a righteous but impoverished man who, with the help of his slave and the god Hermes, seeks to correct the divine error that has left the good poor and the wicked rich. Their solution? Restore sight to Plutus, the blind god of wealth, so he can distribute riches more justly. When the plan succeeds, the results upend traditional hierarchies, sparking chaos among the powerful and privileged. Through sharp satire, farcical scenes, and biting social commentary, Aristophanes questions the relationship between wealth, virtue, and justice. A late work in his career, Plutus blends humor with philosophical inquiry, offering a vivid reflection on economic fairness, human greed, and the role of the gods in worldly affairs.
