The homeplace is a book that simply takes you into another world, a world of love for the land and love between the two main characters - Cathie, a schoolteacher, who's family owned the farm once, and Rob, the city newcomer who bought the farm. It's so easy to sympathize with Cathie's feelings about the rude city slicker who came into her life and turned them upside down with his laughing remarks about her upcoming marriage, and with his fiery kisses. On the other hand it's also easy to sympathize with Rob, who only recently got reunited with the son he hasn't seen since Tad was 1 year old, and moved into the farm in order to try and give his son a chance for a real life. The homeplace is a story based on reality. At the end of the book Dailey tells of her experience as a child living in a farm owned by her great-grandmother. She managed to put all the love she felt for the land into Cathie's words and thoughts. It is a book that's easy to love. It makes you feel for the characters, and participate in what thet're going through.

This was a great book. It was unlike most books in a series like that because of the fact that it was realistic. Most authors make things up so the book has a good plot but they are very fictional. This book has the realistic everyday temptations of an average college student along with realistic answers from an average college student. This is a book I defininetly recommend.

Fabulous insight into a family with ties to every important event in US History.

I first read this book when I was in elementary school. I was delighted to recently find an copy at a book sale. It's in remarkably good condition considering it's older than I am! I fondly remembered the story of a little spotted stallion who is beautifully illustrated on the cover and through out the book. Dragon's life story is told from his point of view and by humans. From his birth in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico, to being captured and learning to trust humans, then becoming a founding sire of a champion P.O.A. bloodline on a Dallas ranch, Dragon's story is timeless. Though there are some sad moments, Dragon's life is full of adventure and determination. I also recommend other stories about Dragon by Lynn Hall, New Day For Dragon, Dragon Defiant and Dragon's Delight.

This book is honestly one of the best I've ever read before. I cried. You know that most of the time when you get a book, you read through it once and it gets old? Well, I wanted to read this one again! It's a really good book that gives people hope to get through whatever they need to. I recommend this book to everyone... everyone needs what this book gives... hope.

A great overview of the history of the origin of the individual componants as well as a great deal of information of the most important people in each of the books of the bible.

This story has a great moral to it as well as being very entertaining and interesting to both children and adults. The plus side of the cassette is that Jack Nicholson tells it in such a way that everyone will enjoy listening to it over and over again. The illustrations are perfect to fit the story and are great at intriguing the children. We have had this story through both of our sons and they both STILL enjoy this book. Hopefully will pass it on to the grandchildren. Tell your friends and family about this one.

Danny Glover reads this, and I enjoyed it as much (maybe more) than my daughter. This book and "How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin" sold us on Rabbit Ears audiobooks - we now have about a dozen. Get the full size so the child can follow the text easier and you can both enjoy the illustrations.

I have found Carmody's "How to Handle Trouble" to be the one of the most truly useful books I have ever read (and reread) about meeting real hardships in life. Realistic, hopeful, and wise, Carmody's writing addresses issues as practical as the need for help from friends and as profound as the need to address the deeper mysteries of life, death and meaning. All is written in a very accessible way, and organized so that particular themes and topics can be easily identified when you want to go back to revisit them. Down to earth, yet never forgetting the horizon of mystery that surrounds human life. A good book to hold onto, and to read and reflect on, time and again.

I have read this book several times, and review it before any major photo expedition. Howard concentrates on the essential art of underwater photography in a concise, readable, meaningful way. He avoids extraneous technical information that so many other manuals use as filler, and focuses clearly on the essence of underwater photography. I gave my original copy away as a gift, and was overjoyed when I was able to pick up a used copy of this out of print paperback. I recommend this superb book to all underwater photographers, new and old.
