This book is suitable for readers of ages 12-15. "You know how it is when you get a feeling that something big is going to happen? Well, it wasn't like that for me. In fact, that Thursday started out like any other day." With these words, Sarah Gilmore begins the remarkable story of what happened when she and her mother, Maggie, suddenly found themselves recipients of an unusual inheritance. A home of their own sounds too good to be true to the Gilmores, who have been struggling to manage on Maggie's income as a waitress - but the conditions that come with the house are strange indeed. Then Sarah receives a message that she should look for a mysterious bequest in an old chest and her imagination runs to thoughts of jewels and wealth. She is disappointed when the chest seems to yield nothing of value - until she learns the truth about her legacy.
Sarah Carson is a mother of two and grandmother of two more, living quietly on the BC coast and minding her own business and generally being quite ordinary - or so it seems until one fine day when she goes out to work in her garden and she has a stroke.From that moment, the lives of everyone around Sarah begin to change. Her daughter Lorraine puts the kids in the car and drives to Sarah's side, leaving her husband behind and wondering whether to bother going back. Sarah's other daughter Christine finds she is more willing to give up her commercial fishing licence than her lover Annwyn, although she had thought it was the other way around. The whole family faces the fact that Lorraine's young son is his own worst enemy and they may be part of the problem. Then the ripples spread out through everyone else in Sarah's life: David, a friend who has spent years in an emotional holding pattern; Bruno, a neighbour who has never declared his feelings for Sarah; and Old Annie, Wee Annie, Conrad, Tyrone, both the Jens and a host of other friends and family. Even Babalouie the cat changes his mind about what matters.This is a story about one woman's slow and painful recovery from a serious illness, a story about a family taking an honest look at itself and a story about the power of love. "It takes a whole community to raise a child," as the old saying goes, and this lucid, startling novel shows that it also takes only one middle-aged woman to change a whole community forever.
A National Poetry Series winner, chosen by Eileen Myles. Set to the music of rain, these shattered elegies seek communion in the ethereal place between birth and death. ?As a reader I feel included a lot in Julie Carr’s hard and beautiful book. I can pretty much hear its author speak?a whispering that enables us into its world . . . a masterfully sutured journey, painfully useful. Sarah?Of Fragments and Lines is a book I know I will return to. And urge it on my friends who have lives too and write in them.”?Eileen Myles ?Julie Carr’s harrowing new book is composed of a complex music of grief and fragmentation that illuminates the fragile distance between mothers and daughters. To read Sarah?Of Fragments and Lines is to recall once again that memory might just be the singular attribute of being human and that there can be no poetics of daily life that does not confront loss. Such is the domain of love; such is the vocation of poetry.”?Peter Gizzi In the wake of a mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s and a child’s impending birth, Julie Carr gathers the shards of both mourning and joy to give readers poems that encompass it all: ?Zebra and xylophone cyclone and sorrow.” Here she says, ?Since I lost her I stored her like ore in my / form as if later I’d find her, restore her,” giving voice to the longing that accompanies life’s most profound losses and its most anticipated arrivals.

Rendezvous with America The Unexpected Story.... In the political battlefield of 2008 where politicians were hiding under their desks and making sorry excuses for their overspending and irresponsible leadership, Sarah Palin took America by storm. Chronicling Governor Palin's life, Mark Nusbaum reveals the "real" Sarah Palin amidst the political turmoil unfolding around her. He describes in detail why her passion for individual liberty, limited government, and fiscal prudence is capturing American hearts and minds. To Democrats, "She is an existential threat" - Dick Morris To "business as usual" Republicans, she is their biggest nightmare. "Political figures like this don't come along very often. Republicans haven't seen anyone like Palin emerge from their ranks since Ronald Reagan...They've been starved for a leader with charisma and a knack for leadership. Now they have one." - Fred Barnes Weekly Standard It's a mistake to underestimate her... - Former President Bill Clinton Does She Have a Rendezvous with America? With masterful precision Mark Nusbaum weaves the ebb and flow of Governor Palin's 2008 campaign message into a platform of ideas that are destined to shape America's future. As she has spent her career fighting for and delivering transparency, accountability, limited government, and pro-growth economic policies for the citizens of Alaska, Sarah Palin is now on the edge of leading a movement to take America back from big government liberals. I watched the way she connected with people..., and she's powerful. Her politics aren't my politics. But you can see that she's a very powerful, very disciplined, incredibly gracious woman... People connect to her." - Lorne Michaels, Executive Producer, Saturday Night Live "Now democrats have something to worry about " - Howard Wolfson, Clinton Campaign Manager This book explains the impact Governor Palin's message and the choice Americans have in the days ahead.
