Then one night, as he returns home from yet another fruitless search, a mysterious woman falls under his carriage.
  With no idea of who or where she is, Sophy finds herself being led from the cold, murky waters of the Thames through danger-filled alleyways of London by a ghost...and into the path of Seymour's horses.
  Fate...or the supernatural...has thrown them together. But Sophy needs to solve the mystery of her identity, and Edward Seymour is the only person who can help her.

  My sister spent her last years in a rest home and I visited her every Monday. She asked me, whether I had thought about writing another book, and I said yes - in fact I have the first two words: "Yes Sister" 
  When I got home, I thought I should get on and write the book, so my sister would be able to enjoy it. I wrote a chapter each week until the book was finished. I took each new chapter to my sister week by week. The topic of the book is my life story from the time I started nursing in 1947 until the birth of our third child in 1956.I added the pencil sketches later.

  Anya Liftig grew up with a foot in two very different worlds: While her mother's upbringing was so rural that the other kids called her "holler rat," her father came from a comfortable, upper-middle-class Jewish family. Anya spent school years in affluent Connecticut and summers in the holler. Shaped by the experience, she would go on to win a scholarship to Yale and become an acclaimed artist, using provocative performances to explore the contradictions and unanswered questions of her life. But when the world Anya was building for herself shattered, she was forced to reconcile where she'd come from with who she was and who she wanted to be. 
   
   
   
  In Holler Rat, Liftig masterfully interweaves family lore from her Appalachian childhood with her performance art pieces and scenes of the yearlong period in which her life fell apart, and plumbs the cathartic self-reckoning that followed. She takes us from her Mamaw's porch to Yale; from the site of a violent family land feud to a pre-gentrified Bushwick loft; and from a devastating childhood leg injury to having 243 raw eggs pelted at her in the name of art. In visceral, beautiful prose that ranges from raunchy and outrageous to sobering and tragic, Holler Rat is the origin story of an unconventional artistic life and a captivating account of the stumbling blocks, sacrifices, and discoveries along the way.

  A memoir of a year immersed in nature on a New England farm, by the national bestselling author of The Dog Who Came to Stay. 
   
   
   
  After a nearly fatal bout of appendicitis, Hal Borland decided to leave the city behind and move with his wife to a farmhouse in rural Connecticut. Their new home on one hundred acres inspired Borland to return to nature. In this masterpiece of American nature writing, he describes such wonders as the peace of a sky full of stars, the breathless beauty of blossoming plants, the way rain swishes as it hits a river, and the invigorating renewal brought by the changing seasons. The delights of nature as Borland observes them seem boundless, and his sense of awe is contagious.
