Book Description
The sky is an allegory for fate. Unfortunately, the Voltinis, a family of six children and their widowed mother Norina, live under a dark sky. They all struggle to survive in a small Italian town in the 1950's. The eldest daughter, Grazia, is the beauty of the family. Norina hopes to immortalize Grazia's beauty by having her portrait taken by the town photographer. The portraits of beautiful girls posted on the window of the photo studio are often noticed by rich men. A relative pays for Grazia's portrait and Norina's dream becomes reality when her daughter's picture is exhibited in the window of the photo studio. Daughters are a burden on the town's poor folks, with a dowry required to marry off each one. Grazia does everything in her power to help her family. She works as a maid and invites a friend to do a reading of a novel at her house. Most of the poor people can't read, and love to be read to. It's customary for the listeners to bring food when they come, and these treats become the Voltinis' dinner. A letter from America sheds light on the Voltinis' sky. The letter contains a marriage proposal for Grazia. Sal, the suitor, is a rich American. Norina begs her daughter to accept Sal's marriage proposal. If Grazia marries an American, the whole family can emigrate to America. Grazia fears that in avoiding the trap of poverty, she may fall into a trap of marriage. Still, a poor girl can't grant herself the luxury of being choosy when her family is starving. Will she be able to save them all?

Book Description
When a devastating sickness spreads through a thoroughbred farm community, a young horse whisperer is determined to find out why all the foals are dying in this tightly woven, tender coming-of-age novel from award-winning author Heather Henson. Twelve-year-old Sky and her father are horse whisperers—their preternatural tenderness and understanding of horses, and Sky’s uncanny ability to actually understand what they’re saying, become their livelihood during the foaling season at multimillion dollar horse farms. They’re sought after by the most prestigious farms in the country to keep pregnant horses calm and stress-free until they give birth. But this spring, something awful is happening…foal after foal is a stillborn, and no one knows why. And worse for Sky, who lost her mother only months earlier, her most beloved horse is about to have her first foal. In agony, Sky takes it upon herself to figure out what the vets are missing, and stop it before even more foals are lost.

Book Description
The Night Speaks is a one-of-kind astrology book. In it, best-selling author Steven Forrest offers a model for how astrology works, illuminating the reasons, both rational and transcendent, that astrology has been the focus of his spiritual life. In his own words, "I love astrology passionately. Every day I see it helping people. But on the street, astrology is still mostly viewed as silliness. Anyone who 'believes in it' is taken for a fool. This inspired me to ask: Could I write the book an open-minded critic might read and be inspired to give astrology an hour to prove itself? Could I write one that my clients could confidently hand their skeptical friends? In other words, could I break through the monumental wall of prejudice and ignorance that has kept astrology trapped in its ghetto? This book is my response, and explains why astrology is both intellectually and spiritually plausible."

Book Description
Award-winning astrologer Steven Forrest offers a collection of seventy-two short, penetrating essays spanning two decades and soaring over the wide world of evolutionary astrology. What is the truth about Mercury retrograde? Are you doomed if you have a planet "in detriment?" Why did Vincent Van Gogh's chart still work long after he was dead and gone? Steven writes, "I picture this book like an astrology friend - someone you met at a class or a conference a year or two ago. Maybe you get together for coffee every few months and talk about charts." Like those serendipitous, freewheeling conversations, you never know exactly where The Endless Sky is going to lead. As you explore these pages, magic happens: you find yourself escaping the pigeon-holing attitudes of conventional astrology and replacing them with the fresh air of freedom, choice, and imagination.
