This children's book is about two friends spending a weekend on a farm together. While they play, they also learn. Main character's actions and reactions project some core values of life. In addition, these stories tend to captivate children's imagination and their desire to follow the path that stories are paving it for them. Nevertheless, stories are worthwhile reading to and with your child.
The Summer of '84 was Murder....She had a heart like a race horse. She was the star player on a mediocre team. She was fifteen years old. It took her forty-five minutes to die.April 4th, 1984. Fidelis, CA- Star volleyball player Sarah Luger is stabbed to death on her front doorstep coming home from a party. After the biggest manhunt in Aurora county history, Det Lt. Charles Sariano is called in to investigate, and finds that in Fidelis, nothing is what it seems.Police describe the scene as "...grisly beyond description." Fidelis, where the kids go to Ivy League schools and PAC-10 Universities, where the pressure to succeed is overwhelming, where status is everything, is turned upside down.No kid kills and keeps it a secret. Fidelis calls on Det. Lt. Charles Sariano, famed for capturing the Capricorn Killer fifteen years earlier. Instead of profiling Sarah's killer, Sariano and his team, (who have a few secrets of their own) profile Sarah, and uncover a landline filled childhood cut short one fateful night.Sarah Luger is a gripping murder mystery, a coming of age story, and also a profoundly moving story of a town full of secrets where "it can't happen here.""The revolving flashbacks add a layer of psychological intrigue that increasingly ratchet up the dramatic tension, mounting, at last, to a surprising conclusion...I would recommend it to any fan of hardboiled noir fiction."- Broken Pencil magazine"Sarah Luger author Sebastian Corbascio takes readers inside the minds of the characters in this tightly plotted, un-put-down-able old fashioned murder mystery. Read this late at night at your own risk, you may not go to sleep as soon as you like."- Joel Selvin. San Francisco Chronicle Rock Critic, and author of Altamont: The Rolling Stones, The Hell's Angels, and the Inside Story of Rock's Darkest Day."...filled with hard-boiled cops, tough-talking suspects, quirky dialogue, multiple red herrings, and even a few surprises that seasoned genre readers won't see coming."-from Morbidly Beautiful review. "Sarah Luger trades in anything close to nostalgia and romanticism to give the story a very raw and believable edge. Rather than reveling in the delights of being a teenager, this book takes a serious look at those formative years that shape us all in an unflinching way. Seeing that puzzle become complete as every loose story thread weaves itself together is what makes this novel stand out from a lot of other clich or typical entries in the genre -Alexander Young, V-13 Magazine"...despite this superficial evocation of beautiful Dead Girls such as Twin Peaks' Laura Palmer or John Everett Millais's "Ophelia", the eponymous Sarah Luger is no mere cadaver, a posthumous mystery to be solved. Instead, Sarah emerges as a fascinating character in her own right. The novel which bears her name may center on the attempts of male detectives to unravel Sarah's murder, but as the story progresses, it is Sarah herself who most ardently commands our attention. No mere idealized, tragic beauty, Sarah Luger is revealed as a complex, multifaceted and often deeply unpleasant character. It is this nuance that elevates Corbascio's novel above many standard modern mysteries. While the detectives who investigate Sarah's shocking murder and the suspects they interrogate are all intriguing characters, it is Sarah herself who, through a series of flashbacks and recollections, comes to dominate the novel. Unlike Bolin's typical Dead Girl, Sarah is not just a memory. She is a character who, despite her early death, grows and develops over the course of the novel. Moreover, Sarah is allowed to be an unlikeable character, possessing a level of moral ambiguity rarely afforded to women in fiction.-Prof Miranada Corcoran, Cork University

For me, writing haiku poems is therapeutic. This collection is based on my experiences, observations, dreams, and lessons I want to learn. I particularly like the clarity and focus on a particular issue this kind of writing enables. The economy of words appeals to me. I hope that in reading these poems, the reader might recall a similar experience in his/her life, and perhaps think about it in a new way. The poems incorporate mindfulness and meditation, and encourage readers to reflect on their own spiritual path through inspirational poetry writing.

What starts as a normal spring break turns mysterious when two siblings find themselves in the California desert, hundreds of miles from home with no way back. Sarah, Blake, and Salt are thrown into a race against time to save the world. Join these courageous kids and their dog as they match wits with sinister criminals and find their way home.
Sarah is disappointed when she must miss dancing her solo at the upcoming ballet recital to go to her cousin's wedding. But as she explores some of the Jewish customs at the wedding, she begins to realize how much her own culture's traditions have to offer. Although not the delicate melodies of classical music and elegant movements of ballet, the hypnotic rhythms of the klezmer band and the energetic steps of the hora still transport her-and the reader-to another world.
Sarah Blake is thirty-eight and on the verge of divorce. Empty and directionless, she's a far cry from the smart, beautiful cheerleader whose life was once so full of promise.

Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World is the first major survey of contemporary sculptor and textile artist Sarah Maloney, RCA. Recognized for her representations of botanicals and the human body, Maloney uses media ranging from embroidery to bronze to challenge ideas of “women’s work,” craft, and artistic labour. Maloney looks at Western history and culture through a feminist lens, and the results are depictions of plants, bones, and organs that reference gender, pleasure, desire, and power. Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground showcases Maloney’s artwork from her thirty-year career, with the selection of work exemplifying her explorations of sexuality, reproductivity, economics, and colonial systems of representation. Accompanying a nationally touring exhibition opening first at Art Windsor-Essex before moving to the MSVU Art Gallery, Halifax, in the spring of 2024, Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground features essays by exhibition co-curator Laura Ritchie, textile scholar and curator Sarah Quinton, and Art Gallery of Nova Scotia CEO Sarah Moore Fillmore, as well as 70 full-colour images of Maloney’s provocative and joyful work.
