A Single Rose Can be My Garden comes in three parts along with two short essays (Right Little Madam and Golden Nuggets). Part 1, A Penny for Your Thoughts, describes Chris's champion show beagle, Penny. The poems reveal an animal at one and the same time full of mischief, silliness, and fun, as well as one capable of amazing perception, having a sort of 6th sense, and being loving, loyal, and sensitive to an extraordinary degree. This is evinced by the poem, Dog's Will, where Penny is shown to become a one woman dog - although two person dog would be almost equally accurate. Part 2, Gently Down the Stream is a celebration of modern life as the author experienced it in some cases, while in other cases, only imagined/dreamt of it being so. These inspired poems, demonstrate the amazing ability of the author to put himself into another person's shoes, which might also be described as having an instinctive feel for all aspects of life, even those not personally experienced. An example of such a poem is the poem, Babies, as well as, regrettable as it may be, Romantic Love. (at least after a night that, although NOT HIS FAULT, made his life much different than the norm, which is all he ever wanted it to be). The expanded version of the title - A Single Rose Can be My Garden, A Single Friend My World - captures this idea very well!!!!! Part 3, Everything Under the Sun, is a pulling together of diverse threads on a variety of subjects, having perennial interest and relevance, which the author feels he has a good feel for/knowledge of, and can thus offer sage advice on/ be a voice of reason/or be a fountain of wisdom (not youth! LOL!) Of all the poems, the author is most passionate in his abhorrence of war, which he was raised by a German mother who had gone through living hell during the terrible bombing campaigns of civilians during WWII. To relate my feelings on war, let me quote from a well known book, by a Swiss author, called "The Good Soldier Schweik". Schweik, in a desperate attempt to reach the enemy across No Man's Land, shouts: For God's sake don't shoot! Don't you realize there are PEOPLE over here! If that isn't saying something and saying it well...!

One of our finest writers on one of her greatest loves. Jamaica Kincaid's first garden in Vermont was a plot in the middle of her front lawn. There, to the consternation of more experienced friends, she planted only seeds of the flowers she liked best. In My Garden (Book) she gathers all she loves about gardening and plants, and examines it generously, passionately, and with sharp, idiosyncratic discrimination. Kincaid's affections are matched in intensity only by her dislikes. She loves spring and summer but cannot bring herself to love winter, for it hides the garden. She adores the rhododendron Jane Grant, and appreciates ordinary Blue Lake string beans, but abhors the Asiatic lily. The sources of her inspiration -- seed catalogues, the gardener Gertrude Jekyll, gardens like Monet's at Giverny -- are subjected to intense scrutiny. She also examines the idea of the garden on Antigua, where she grew up. My Garden (Book) is an intimate, playful, and penetrating book on gardens, the plants that fill them, and the persons who tend them.

"I'm always impressed by pioneering efforts. This anthology represents a noteworthy beginning for this group of writers. From the triumphs over adversity dramatized in the first section, to the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories and poems of the final grouping, they show us sensitivity and inspire strength. They show us disability as it is lived honestly. Fables, fantasies, and tips about writing add something new, making this publication a unique contribution to disability literature."-Erik Weihenmayer, author of Touch the Top of the World and The Adversity Advantage Disabled people, in most ways, are just like everyone else. So it should come as no surprise that the stories, essays, and poems in Behind Our Eyes deal with situations and emotions that confront all of us: family and marriage, love and heartbreak, discord, appreciation of nature, and the desire to engage in the world more fully. In this uplifting collection, we read about the dedication of a guide dog who protects a blind woman and her young children from a burglar until police arrive; the inner struggle for a stroke victim whose world is rearranged overnight; the challenges faced by disabled children, spouses, and seniors when their families see their limitations instead of their abilities; the difficulty faced by a blind man coping with a team of insensitive doctors and nurses who seem to keep forgetting he can't see; and much more. A real and candid portrait of life with disability as well as an entertaining foray into the minds and hearts of a beautifully diverse group of people, Behind Our Eyes urges and inspires us to meet even our loftiest goals, embrace our individual vulnerabilities, and let our own imaginations soar.

As troubling memories resurface, a phone call confirms that Sean is missing. So begins a season that will change everything. As the door to all Bay cherishes seems to close forever, another opens, and an old love steps through. Embraced by enduring friendships, Bay will discover the truth of who she is--what love is--and how life’s deepest mysteries are often those closest to home.

Just as nature passes through seasons, so do our lives move through warm springs and harsh winters. In soft whispers and nudges through different seasons of author Dee Russells life, God has sometimes used the quietness of nature and the life of these colorful plants to speak to her, teaching valuable lessons that she sorely needed to learn. In the personal stories, paintings, and poetry of The Flowers That Softly Spoke, Russell now shares those lessons. Reflection in the quiet environs of nature provides a secret to replenishing the spirit for the duties of the day, and this collection brings those reflections to life. Along the way, Russell considers relationships, growth and adventure, perseverance, and hope. These tales from her life outline the sometimes magical messages that flowers can offer and make clear the idea that we can choose the higher calling of listening to the still small voice within and searching out the wisdom of the scriptures that call us to a better way. This illustrated inspirational collection presents anecdotes and verses designed to brighten your day with faith and friendship.
