When life is too much, and you can’t hack it, what do you do? Go back home, right? It’s just the logical thing to do. At a young age, I learned that Kentbury is kind of magical—and great at maple syrup. I packed my things, drove to my parent’s house and … I found Sinclair McFolley— irresistibly brooding, and dangerously handsome. He and his siblings took possession of my childhood home. What the f. . . obviously it’s a mistake. It wasn’t. So now my plans are to either go back home or stay in Kentbury helping the McFolleys with their summer camp. It's all fun and games until feelings start getting in the way. Challenges turn into opportunities. And suddenly the summer fling I never planned on might become the romance of a lifetime. Maybe Kentbury isn’t just a place to escape to—it’s where I was meant to find myself all along. From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa pens a summer romance novella set up in Kentbury. Featuring: Billionaire Friends to Lovers Forced Proximity Romance Vacation / Time Limit Romance Small Town RomanceVoir livre
In stirring verse and essays, Katy Bowser Hutson chronicles her battle with breast cancer and the complications of faith amid such a fight. Accentuated by the art of Jodi Hays, Katy's words lead us through the realization of cancer, the experience of chemotherapy and a mastectomy, relentless rounds of radiation, the uncertainty of ongoing treatment, and what comes after survival. She writes in resistance to sickness, of wrestling toward beauty: Cancer is an overgrowth, a kudzu:Tangling and strangling legitimate life. Chemo is a killing, a burning out: Burning down to ashy carbon, indiscriminately But cancer, did you know that I am a poet? Through it all, she shows what it means to struggle in a battered body and to pray to a God who is near to the broken. Join her in this consideration of mortality and witness her persisting trust in God's unseen ways.Voir livre
A long-awaited yet startlingly urgent new collection from “a contemporary master”*—a fierce, big-hearted eye on our last, tumultuous decade, and our fragile environment *Los Angeles Review of Books Linda Gregerson’s long-awaited new collection is a tour de force, a compendium of lives touched by the radical fragility of the planet and, ultimately, the endless astonishment and paradox of being human within the larger ecosystem, “in a world where every breath I take is luck.” From the Syrian refugee and ecological crises, to police brutality and COVID, to the Global Seed Vault buried under permafrost, the poems ask: How does consciousness relate to the individual body, the individual to the communal, the community to our environment? How do we mourn a loved one, and how do we mourn strangers? The magnificent poems in Canopy catalogue and reckon with humanity and the natural world, mortality, rage, love, grief, and survival.Voir livre
