Pampered rich girl is hauled thru the South American jungle to help locate the dad who deserted her and her mother shortly after the Viet Nam war. Her guide? None other than Aloysius Murdock.

Raw and gritty, Murdock leads his best friend's daughter thru the jungle of South America to find the friend he has presumed dead for the past 20 years.

The only problem is, Catherine is not nearly as spoiled as Murdock had hoped. She's got spunk. She plays it cool under pressure. She's classy.

And too rough around the edges Murdock isn't nearly as rough as he believes. Maybe he's secretly yearning for hearth and home, one woman and lots of babies.

This makes for a great story with wonderful characters you like and truly want to see happy.

Enjoy!

ANOTHER HIT... I LOVE EVERY BOOK THAT BEVERLY BARTON HAS WRITTEN. THE ONE THING I REALLY LIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK WAS AN OLDER MAN.. THEIR CHEMISTRY AND THE PLOT. THIS WAS JUST A HOT READ. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY OF BEVERLY'S BOOKS.

Since I did the illustration for this book, I can't give a totally unbiased opinion. But I can tell you that this book is a labor of love. Beverly has put her heart and soul into the writing, producing and distributing this wonderful book. The story is great and I hope that the pictures are pleasing. A spiritual story of God's love.

This is a beautiful story, lovingly explained, about an angel and his journey of meeting his new mortal family. Sometimes it is hard to explain to a child the miracle of life. My Name is Jeromy simply explains childbirth in a way a child can understand. It is a must for expectant mothers of small children of all religious faiths. Jeromy will help young children become excited about having a new baby brother or sister added to their family.

This book captures the unique qualities of a newborn baby. A fleeting moment that most new parents don't appreciate because they are too exhausted! It makes me want to have another baby just to experience those first few days and have a chance to take some pictures of my own.

Fantastic black and white photography of newborn infants ranging from 1 to 22 days old. The photographs are tastefully done and show the beauty of a newborn. Rather than bore the reader with words, Schatz allows the story to be told in photos. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in newborns and to all expecting or new parents.

If you read Consumer Reports magazine you're familiar with the clear, understandable, truly helpful information and style. OUTWITTING OSTEOPOROSIS is even better! The book was urged on me by an enthusiastic woman friend (I'm a guy) who is also a women's health professional and teacher. I read the whole book -- not only because it was so interesting, but so well organized and well written. You will quickly find your appreciation and gratitude soaring for the bones that literally support all the rest of your body. And as you learn more, your appreciation increases! I've never read a book that does that, nor one that GIVES so much! Osteoporosis is a stealthy, mean disease. Our ignorance allows it to severely ruin our lives (yes, certainly including men) and those of other people we care about. Well, it's not going to ruin mine! It will probably SAVE mine! And for that I'm even more appreciative and grateful to the authors -- and to the friend who urged me to read it. Thank you all!

I'm getting close to 50, and my daughter just turned 20, and we BOTH benefit from the kind of helpful, preventive and life-saving information in this book. The authors have done a great job educating women about bone health -- a topic not many of us talk about with any frequency OR authority, but we should. I remember a grandmother with a broken hip, and how a simple fall set in motion a series of events that robbed her of the last years of her life. Women don't have to suffer any more, and they can start now -- no matter what age -- with the kind of information in "Outwitting Osteoporosis." Thanks, Ronda and Beverly, for your contributions to women!

Wow! This book worked miracles on me and my health. When the doctor told me I had osteoporosis, I didn't know what to do. He was barely any help. So I went to my local bookstore and picked up this book. Let me use 4 words to describe it: It saved my life. It gave me such helpful hints like "be careful not to fall down" and such. I totally reccomend this book! I couldn't put it down.

If you love Packards this is a must have book. Clearly the most complete book regarding all things Packard. Photos are representative of the different era of production up to the last model of this great automobile builder. A balanced mix of facts and story so that the true Packard nut can find technical facts to his(or her)heart's content and the casual reader will not be bored with them.

This is a comprehensive, balanced history of an American legend in the world automoble industry. All aspects of the company are examined, from automobile to marine and aircraft engines. In addition the commercial divisions of Packard are examined. Anyone who wishes to discover an extraordinary review of a motorcar company whose own history reflects changing attitudes and methods of American marketing strategy successes and failures will have a wonderful read. This pictures are excellent and broadly representative of the wondrous products that this pioneering company presented to the world..

[....]readers should known or probably infer from the esteemed SUNY press W.E.T. series that Deveney cites ALL sources, resultant of some 150 pages of extensive notes which are a worthy and entertaining/informative read in themselves! Also, P.B.R.'s Occult philosophy and practical systems/methodologies are explored in a highly scholarly yet equally accessible manner, and as an appendix are given in their entirety two of PBR's most essential Sexual Magic works, for which I have appropriated the title of this review. Though a scholarly work, as well as an historical one, it is throughout biographically focused on an 19th century Exemplary Mage's Life and Work!

Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-1875)was one of the first well-known Afro-American Novelists (if not THE FIRST), of whom Frederick Douglas was an admirer, and one of the most famous as well as sincere mediums of the Spiritualist movement, famous for his speeches of whom President Johnson was a fan, and a KEY figure in bridging the gap between that nec-romantic movement flowering dangerously into the European/American Occult Revival of the mid-late 19th century. He grew up an orphan in a murderous section of NYC; had almost no schooling, (yet became a recognized genius by sheer will/determination and self-discipline) who lived in the "(spiritually) Burnt-out" district of upstate NY where he added the abbr. "DR." to his title and sold his Glyphae Battah (Magic Mirrors)and Hashish, love & healing philtres:'snake-oil' basically, and married a part Native-American Indian Woman and tried to raise a family in dire poverty. And this is just the beginning to his life! He was very influential in getting Black soldiers into the US military in the last years of the Civil War(& getting them paid like any good-willing American!)...also, Blavatsky gleaned much from him, I think her writings concerning Randolph evidences, if only his living example of an highly artistic and Original one-man Occult campaign via Randolph's numerous Rosicrucian brotherhoods which The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor would later appropriate nearly ALL of Randolphs ideas to immense practical benefit (see Godwins and Deveneys co-efforts in releasing many key documents in relation to this group), while the Theosophists waged war against that very practicality deeming it black magic basically...later the Surrealists' devoured Randolph's magical works which were circulated widely through the Russian-born Parisian Surrealist Maria de Naglowska efforts...How does a man like this, who entertained at the court of Napoleon and who counted President Lincoln as an acquaintance as well as knew most every influential Occultist/Abolitionist/reformer/Free Love Politician / Spiritualist of his day (Bulwer-Lytton, Hargrave Jennings, Laurence Oliphaunt, Andrew Jackson Davis,et al. ad infinitum)how does such a figure disappear from history? as if suspiciously erased? The question is as tragic as Randolph's life, for it is a pained life full of much suffering, bore throughout with nobility if despairingness at his predicament. He is a beautiful writer--one must allow him that at least---whose sexual magic works serve as a poignant appendix to Deveney's excellent and thorough 600-plus page biography of a life that serves as an intimate magnifying-glass to probe into the goings-ons of an era filled to overflowing with myriad colorful characters and the energy and excitement of endless rounds of ingenious scientific discoveries and religious aspirations/explorations which as the Poet Osip Mandelstam said "if ever there was a golden age surely it was the 19th century!" Wherever you may be John Patrick Deveney, I thank you a thousand times over while reading this and thank you still for giving us this touching biography which served as a means to truly know what it must have been like to have lived in Randolph's day, during an age of 'Romanticism' and later,'Symbolism' in Art, while an Occult revival raged, made up of a noble search for self-knowledge and universal Uptopianist solutions to universal ills, and art finally becoming a RELIGION itself!...Western Esoteric studies should take as an example Deveney's biographical tome, and know the history of the world is in the lives of men and women more than anyplace else, as Jules Michelet pointed out a hundred years ago...I would suggest to anyone interested in gaining a first hand insight into an era & a subject finally lent proper credence to be studied seriously as it should be respected even if despised by "religious realists"...to read this book full of a life lived with such style & grace. Randolph's motto was: "T-R-Y !"...which is what I would say to others here interested in reading a rare work of an even rarer life that hopefully will become part of the American Artistic and Cultural iconography and more widely known literary canon because of Deveney's immense efforts and achievements herein! Bravo Deveney!

This wonderful little book has served me well in raising and keeping happy my little babies Patrick, Norma Jean and Emily Jane, with all the essential information and sensible advice. Everything you need to know about the breed: getting a new dog, raising a puppy, care for the lactating mother, personality characteristics, house training, health aspects etc. There are good illustrations and beautiful color pics too.

Quest for the Silver Castle is a excellent and capivating story. It follows two young children whom are in search for the King. The only way of knowing there is a King is by a Silver Castle that appears on special occasions. The children run into tough trials and wonderful experiences as well. Through the search the children become great and friend and help and encourage each other through each circumstance. This story has a wonderful allegory with excellent meaning behind it. This book is excellent for all ages and genders.

This book is amazingly well written. Arlen and Theodora are soreal that I would not be suprised to meet them on the street. It tellswonderfully the power of Jesus's love for his children. I am very glad that there is more in this series.

Romana is struggling with her emotions and trying to understanding those of her family. It hasn 't been easy for anyone in her household. Her father lost his job and they are all struggling with changes as the family tries to make ends meet. Ramona is trying everything she knows to keep her famikly happy as, but feels she is only upsetting them more.

This is a wonderful book. Ms. Cleary has a spectacular way of reaching children and being on their level while not talking down to them. She paints a very enjoyable story about some very difficult times, and laces them with humor to avoid something too depressing. She truly has a talent, and isn't afraid to use it. Ms. Cleary is a treasure to children's literature.

I read Ramona Quimby, Age 8. This book was just as good as Ramona Quimby, Age 8. Ramona Quimby was just as funny as ever. From singing Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall on tin-can stilts, to launching a campaign to get her dad to stop smoking, Ramona is full of ideas. A must for all Ramona Quimby fans. If you like funny stories, this book is for you.

Author Beverly Evans has given us a rare treasure. Her first book, "The Room In My Heart," is a lyrical, soul-stirring paean to the inviolable love between a mother and her children. Evans, herself the mother of three, has fashioned a tender, faith-based parable about the challenges faced by an expectant mom who must reassure her firstborn of her permanent place in Mommy's heart. Superbly illustrated by Christopher Nick, this beautiful edition will be embraced by future generations of moms and kids as a testament to the eternal power of maternal and spiritual love.

The Room in My Heart is a great book to share with children in preparation for new arrivals. The illustrations are beautifully illustrated and entertaining to look at.
