Jaycee Parker has always been seen as the little brother or the one who believed in a real Santa Claus a.k.a. Dawdi Christopher. Now “Jace”—at his insistence—wants to be viewed as a man, but he’s not quite sure how to make that happen. That is, until he meets a pretty woman from the hospital where he volunteers. Lauren has him pondering things he’s never thought of before—like a love relationship and someday settling down with a family of his own.

But can the greatest miracle of all—Love—bind them together forever? Read the Amish Christmas series by USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Spredemann that readers don't want to put down!

A heart-warming celebration of love between species from the New York Times bestselling author of Unlikely Friendships. In her inspiring New York Times bestseller Unlikely Friendships, Jennifer Holland introduced us to the heartwarming relationships that exist between animals of different species. Her stories struck a chord with thousands of readers, including Temple Grandin, who described the book as "amazing." Now Holland explores animal attachments that, in human terms, can only be called love. Packed with beautiful, breathtaking full-color photographs, Unlikely Loves is a celebration of love between species. Here are stories of parental love, like the Dalmatian who mothers a newborn lamb—a lamb that just happens to be white with black spots! Stories of playful love, including the fox and the hound who become inseparable. And stories of orphaned animals who have found family-like ties in unexpected combinations, like the elephant who’s bonded with sea lions, goats, and other animals in her walks around the Oregon Zoo. Ms. Holland has interviewed scientists, zoologists, and animal caretakers from around the world, tracking down firsthand sources and eyewitnesses. The stories are written with journalistic integrity and detail—and always filled with the author’s deep affection for her subjects.

Christina Rossetti was considered the ideal female poet of her time. Her poetry was devotional, moral, and spoke of frustrated affection. Dolores Rosenblum presents a fresh reading of Rossetti's works and places them in the context of her life. Rosenblum shows that what was ostensibly devotional, moral, and loveless, was actually what Luce Irigaray calls "mimetism," a subtle parody and diversion of the male tradition of literature. Rossetti's work was unified, Rosenblum argues, because she was a deliberate poet, and by accepting the "burden of womanhood," she played out what men only symbolized as female in their art. By her mimicry and revision of the male tradition of literature, Christina Rossetti engaged the patriarchal tradition in ways that make it usable for the female experience, and that provide a critique of the male objectification of women in art. -- From publisher's description.

This volume is a tribute to the life and work of Hazel Rowley, internationally acclaimed biographer who died unexpectedly in March 2011. Her passions were many and varied: biography, politics, questions of race and sexuality, the ways in which couples negotiate the dilemmas posed by the need to retain their individuality while building a life as a couple, the deleterious effects of imposing a corporate mentality on universities – all these, and more, were subjects of intense interest to her. This collection combines essays responding to many of those interests with creative writing to honour the complexity and variety of her own magnificent contribution. Hazel Rowley, whose life and work are honoured in this collection, was the author of many articles and essays and four outstanding biographies, Christina Stead: A Biography, Richard Wright: The Life and Times, Tête-à-Tête: Simone de Beauvoir and Jean Paul Sartre, and Franklin and Eleanor: An Extraordinary Marriage.

Annotation While the road from the mind to the marketplace is frustrating and far from easy, Jayne Seagrave's highly entertaining book sets out how to succeed in taking a new idea to market, how to expand those markets, and how to effectively run a new business. With over 90 percent of businesses in Canada being small businesses, this book provides exceptional insights into what it takes to establish and succeed in this growing arena. Jayne Seagrave gives a first-hand account of the development of the Vancouver Tool Corporation and her experiences and strategies for selling her husband Andrew Dewberry's invention to the Canadian marketplace. The book also provides an entertaining account of how the couple moved from their established careers as criminologist and architect to undertaking every aspect of running a small business. Each chapter ends with advice for the inventor, conveniently and plainly set out in point form. Appendices contain sample letters to buyers, examples of press releases, and charts on how to record approaches to buyers. This is a necessary resource for anyone contemplating selling their own ideas and inventions successfully. It is also vital for anyone with an interest in owning and operating his or her own business.
