  A biography of three sisters who grew up on the Vermont countryside, traveled the world, and returned to their farm to raise acclaimed cows.The Lepines’ story began in Quebec, from where Maurice and Imelda immigrated to Vermont during the Great Depression. The family farmed, lived off the rich Vermont landscape and instilled a love for it in their daughters, Gert, Jeanette and Therese. As adults, “the Girls” taught school, traveled the world and worked for President Johnson but never forgot their roots. All three returned to Mount Sterling Farm, raising their famed Jersey cows and embodying Vermont’s agricultural tradition. Their story is one of hope and valor—of a family who loved their home and neighbors and left their land as a lasting gift for the world.Praise for the Lepine Sisters“The Lepine sisters . . . are the doyennes of rural northern Vermont. The sisters, and the Jersey cows they have been milking, feeding and cleaning up after for more than four decades, are what many Vermonters regard as the real Vermont.” —New York Times

The secrets & lies have expired. Don't risk getting your tail stuck on the side of the road with no snacks or hydration. Quench your thirst for greener pastures & cop the ultimate travel guide HERE. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius, where everything we have ever known is changing. The collective is crashing from the long-drawn-out temporary high of 3D linear living. The veil is thinning fast, 5D is dawning. It has been 100 years since the Industrial Revolution. We now live in a world today where everything is controlled, monitored, & otherwise owned, dominated & ruled by corporations. This indeed is... a "man's world." However, the “great awakening” began to creep slowly into the mainstream about 30+ years ago, as we have been waking up in clusters for decades prior. Lo & behold, now there are those of us who have come out of the “cosmic closet” completely & we are no longer hiding our rights to truth, freedom, liberty & the real pursuit of happiness, which is honoring our true "God identity." This "man's world" is crumbling. The camp that is conscious & awakening, ascending & learning to sustain 5D consciousness is at a critical mass. This means that at least 51% of humans on the planet at this time are at this stage. If there are 7 & a half billion people on the planet, there are 3-billion 750 million & one folks "packing their bags" for New Earth. This critical mass thus is causing “The Shift” on the planet, as we begin to finally collectively undergo a planetary transformation on a grand scale that cannot be denied. Want to grasp the bigger picture of what exactly is happening to America, our world & human civilization at large? Get on in here… it's TIME.

  What would you have left if you awoke and were told you would be paralyzed from the eyes down for the rest of your life? After an almost fatal car crash and a botched surgery to repair nerve damage, that was Clay Byars's reality at eighteen years old. Determination became the only constant in his life from that point on, and, miraculously, he quickly began to defy the odds. Clay discovered a life far different from that of his identical twin brother, Will. As Clay's life changed in an unimaginable way, Will's continued as a typical college freshmen with the world at his feet, providing not only a foil to Clay's inability to live a normal life but a sense of familiarity and connection to himself. As Will went on to graduate, marry, and start a family, Clay carved out a unique existence, doing the seemingly impossible by living on his own on a remote farm in Alabama. With haunting clarity in an eloquent yet unsentimental retelling, Clay shares the unlikely story of his life and his coping mechanisms, including weekly singing lessons that do more than teach him to use his voice again--they remind him of his will to exist. In Will & I, the most striking parts of the story are not the details of a tragedy but the piercing insights that decorate Clay's sparse, honest way of seeing the world and bravely challenging himself and his abilities at every turn.

  My Secret Life, the anonymously written erotic memoirs of a Victorian English gentleman who refers to himself simply as 'Walter' is one of the most idiosyncratic and sexually obsessed books ever written. In this vast autobiographical confessional the author recounts, in meticulous detail, his sexual exploits throughout the course of a life devoted entirely to the pursuit of carnal pleasure. Through this compelling exploration of the author's sexual behaviour we are left with a uniquely entertaining insight into life behind the closed doors of Victorian society. My Secret Life is evocative, provocative, sorrowful, suspenseful, obscene, exciting and highly erotic...in it we are privy to the thoughts, emotions and memories of one of the most unusual, unsung and colourful English eccentrics of the Victorian era.
  
  Now, for the first time, the complete unabridged version of this unique text is being narrated and scored by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins as an 'audiofilm' (an audiobook in which the emotional landscape is explored through the music score). Each chapter of My Secret Life will be released at monthly intervals over the next ten or so years culminating in what is likely to become the longest audio book ever to be produced.
