Life on the Cajun Riviera by Melissa Ward Anderson Pdf

Nevers Farrow Clark, thirty-something florist, is sick of working with flowers. She considers her life to be as normal as it can get, and Nevers is not a big fan of normal. As much as she'd like to change things, it's hard to get motivated in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where so much never changes. She's awaiting the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to do something that will transform her world.And then the chance comes. Nevers, and her best friend Arden, are given the opportunity to write a book, but it isn't long before Nevers starts doubting again. As the work and the traveling begin Nevers feels like things are falling apart around her. Her business is suffering; her chance at getting her last romantic relationship up and running again is all but gone, and the Catholic guilt she was raised with makes her feel like she didn't deserve the opportunity to begin with.

A Wetland Biography by Gay M. Gomez Pdf

Louisiana's Chenier Plain is a 2,200-square-mile region of marshes and oak-covered ridges (cheniers) that stretches along the Gulf of Mexico from Sabine Lake to Vermilion Bay. Its inhabitants, some 6,000 people of Cajun and other ancestries, retain strong economic and cultural ties to the land and its teeming wildlife. They call it paradise...but it is a vulnerable paradise. In this multifaceted study, Gay Gomez explores the interaction of the land, people, and wildlife of the Chenier Plain, revealing both the uniqueness of the region and the challenges it faces. After describing the geography and history of the Chenier Plain, Gomez turns to the lifeways of its people. Drawing on their words and stories, she tells how the chenier dwellers combine modern occupations with traditional pursuits such as alligator and waterfowl hunting, fur trapping, and fishing. She shows how these traditions of wildlife use provide both economic incentives for conservation and a source of personal and place identity. This portrait of a "working wetland" reveals how wildlife use and appreciation can give rise to a stewardship that balances biological, economic, and cultural concerns in species and habitat protection.

THE CANYON’S SHADOW by Gypsy Quill Pdf

Based on a true story! —Monet was addicted to cocaine since age 14, while married to the ring leader of the Corsican Mafia, and never worked a day in her life! Snuck to the states at 20 and met Poe Walker; lured him into a web of deceit; punished him with torturous tease and ... her affair with mystery-man! Did Walker have reasons to split? —Extreme child abuse done to Poe, provoked childhood-drug-addiction; later converted to alcoholism, thus ... violence! The latter bred between Monet and their children; a chain-reaction ‘Violence breeds Violence’ separated the Walkers. —Megan attempted suicide because she didn’t believe her Daddy was alive! Incarcerated in Juvenile Detention; committed into a Mental Hospital for stabbing her mother, injuring her brother and a police officer, she was deemed incompetent by the court! A recovering alcoholic, Poe took custody, but questioned the circumstances; and moreover, devastation you—wouldn’t believe! —The two-fold vision of “The Canyon’s Shadow” in one way, is a shade veneer stretching the chasm; seen another way, the Shadow is the Canyon’s history. Two people arrived 155 years apart, but their stories intertwine. The Canyon was the same, what changed, was civilizations around her. Poe uncovered a relic of time The M.N.A. Research Center never knew they had; revealing truth history left out; truth, we all need to know....

The Island by Patricia Mahon Pdf

Stories from The Age of Distraction Series: Contemporary Novellas "We're so connected, we're disconnected.” The art of storytelling--and its survival--is a fundamental theme in Patricia Mahon’s new series of edgy novellas, cleverly weaving excerpts from timeless masters of fiction and thought within each volume. The juxtaposition of classic authors against contemporary muses cements the concept that storytelling is an art crucial to the preservation of the human epic: it is our narrative. In Volume One, The Island, a speech writer (Morgan) and a school teacher (Percy) lament the loss of human engagement and creativity due to the disconnect of the digital age. Joined by a Silicon Valley turncoat and techno-savant, the trio set out to create a global writing platform, an app that allows worldwide, real-time participation in a collective story. The concept goes viral but the irony lies in a virtual reality so strong, it takes the three on a journey of discovery, pitting fantasy against reality—this volume’s destination is the first of many more to come. Coming Oct 2016: Volume Two, The Vineyard, lands Morgan and Percy in a remote tasting room in California wine country, in search of Bartholomew, a legendary, illusive “grape whisperer” known for coaxing perfect ripeness and imparting the “whispered vintage” of the vineyard. After a rainstorm wreaks havoc, our protagonists are stranded without electricity among strangers forced to pass the time drinking wine and recounting tales, hoping their clues will uncover the myth or the man. Coming Spring 2017: Volume Three, The Abbey, takes flight to a small Irish town, nicknamed The Village of the Monks, where Morgan’s family lineage is rooted. Following the clues of her late grandmother, an iconic storyteller, the pair head to a haunted old church and meet vibrant Irish characters along the way. It isn’t long before spirits of the past begin to reveal the Abbey’s tumultuous history of tragedy and suppression, rewarding Morgan and Percy with much more than a family ghost story.

The Age of Clear Profit by John Griswold Pdf

At age fifty, when many hope to slow down, and what’s left, as the poet Kobayashi Issa once wrote, is “clear profit,” John Griswold was starting over—-again—-in a position he had worked decades to achieve. His family moved down the Mississippi Valley, expecting to create a good life with new friends. What they found instead was a society “organized tightly by race, church attendance, and family name,” which in its corruption, laissez-faire corporatism, gun love, and environmental degradation foretold the heightened problems of the United States in an era of deepening political division. Taking his cue from classical Asian poets such as Basho, Griswold begins to journey, to gain perspective, and to find his own narrow road. He travels around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico and to writers’ homes in Russia and New Mexico; attends the protests at Standing Rock; walks the Basho Trail in Japan; and reports on the wholesale slaughter of a Texas rattlesnake roundup and the cruel weirdness of the Angola Prison Rodeo. Over eight years, Griswold bears witness, pays homage, and finds he is able to define and speak with gratitude about what is most important to him: his children, wholeheartedness, and the act of trying. In the gap between complexity and a little peace and quiet, there is a way to profit anew.

Amy has enough to do running her shop, fighting attempts by the town planning commission to demolish her old Victorian house, and rescuing an injured towhee.

1 Dead in Attic by Chris Rose Pdf

With a new foreword by the author—Chris Rose’s New York Times bestselling collection: “A gripping book about life’s challenges in post-Katrina New Orleans…packed with heart, honesty, and wit” (New Republic). Celebrated as a local classic and heaped with national praise, 1 Dead in Attic is a brilliant collection of columns by an award-winning Times-Picayune journalist chronicling the horrific damage and aftermath wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2006. “Frank and compelling...vivid and invaluable” (Booklist), it is a roller coaster ride through a devastated American wasteland as it groans for rebirth. Full of the emotion, tragedy and even humor—which has made Chris Rose a favorite son and the voice of a lost city—these are the stories of the dead and the living, of survivors and believers, of destruction and recovery, and of hope and despair. With photographs by British photojournalist Charlie Varley, 1 Dead in Attic captures New Orleans caught between an old era and a new, New Orleans in its most desperate time, as it struggled out of floodwaters and willed itself back to life.
