FEBRUARY LIBRARY NEWS
Often books are blessings that can offer us
reality, encouragement, insight or escape.
These are the three highlighted books for
this month.
A New Leaf by author and artist Thomas
Kinkand is our fiction selection. As his
paintings are known for his use of light
many of his novels take place in a town
called Cape Light. The story revolves
around two brother and their attempts
at building a lasting relationship, Tucker,
a police officer and Carl an ex-offender.
Other characters include Molly a divorced
mother of two working many jobs who
takes the plunge to open a small business.
Our copy is in large print hense the red dot
on the spine.
Walking with Henry is by Rachel Anne Ridge.
We had Flash by her last month. This story
continues with Godly lessons learned from
in this case a miniature donkey rounded up
with a group of strays. He was Henderson
County (Texas) Number 10--so his name
became Henry. This book will appeal to
animal lovers and those who want to see
again how God can use everyday occurances
to reveal Himself and lessons to bring us
closer to Him.
White Goats and Black Bees is the true story
of two American journalists in the 1960s who
retire to be subsitance farmers in Ireland. It
is an account of their journey of trial and error,
joys and challenges and friendships made along
the way. It tells the hard work of living close to
the land and caring for animals takes and lessons
learned in doing so.
Hope one of these or something else on the
cart or shelves invites you in this month.
