  Not much happens here. A mole gives up spring-cleaning. A dragon refuses to fight. Children explore gardens, secrets, and grown-up nonsense.
  And that's exactly the charm.
  In The Classic Collection of Kenneth Grahame, the smallest moments matter: a picnic basket, a dusty lane, a long afternoon with nowhere in particular to go. These are tales where animals talk, time meanders, and adventure might mean simply getting lost — on purpose.
  This volume brings together four of Grahame's most loved works: The Wind in the Willows, The Reluctant Dragon, The Golden Age, and Dream Days. Each one offers a quiet kind of magic — the kind best enjoyed with feet up, mind open, and perhaps a cup of tea not far off. No battles, no villains, no hurry. Just the deep, gentle pleasures of a good story well told.
  Contents:
  • The Wind in the Willows
  • The Reluctant Dragon
  • The Golden Age

  Leaving My Amish World - My True...

  Pregnant. Shunned. Heartbroken. This is Eirene's true story of how she left the Amish. Like most Amish children, Eirene had a carefree childhood in a tight-knit family life in the Old Order Amish community where she grew up in Indiana. Though she had no indoor plumbing, no electricity, and no modern conveniences, her young life was full of joy. Horseback riding, reading, working with her father, and singing while making noodles and quilts with her sisters filled her days as she grew up.  
  When Eirene becomes pregnant and marries at the tender age of 17, the harsh reality of her new life sets in. From getting snowed in by 10 feet of snow to carrying icy buckets of water inside just to make coffee or wash dishes, Eirene remains steadfast in providing the best care she can for her son. As she has four more children, her world revolves around them, and they bring her more joy than she could have ever imagined. Though she loves being a mother, and she loves her family, Eirene knows there has to be more to life than just being a housewife confined to her home with no money, no phone, and no transportation. Doesn’t God have a bigger purpose for her? Wasn’t she meant for more? When Eirene makes a Christian friend, she is hungry to learn more about the loving God who died for her and rose again, a God so unlike the one she’d learned about growing up Amish.
