I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Once I started reading the book, I couldn't put the book down! The characters are well developed, and Hannah Howell did a great job on the plot. The only thing is that the love that Storm felt for Tavis came to early in the story, yet didn't really give a reason to why she loved him. It's easy to see how everyone could love Storm, I was moved when she got beaten up by Sir Hugh and her stepmother. I don't see how Tavis could have accepted his exmistress back into the castle nor could I see how he could have gone back to kissing her after she told Sir Hugh of Storm's whereabouts in which she was captured and beaten badly.

All of Hannah Howell books are great, if u havent' read them, go buy them, you won't be disappointed.

Amber flame was the first romance novel I ever read. I found it in a local drug store for two dollars and from the beging I could not put the book down. I was caught in the story from the start. I loved Storm her will and charactor was a wonderfull twist on other females in romance novels. She was so strong and till the very end faught for herself. I loved her strong will and her graudual process of falling in love with Tavis. I did feel sorry for her in the beging but came to love both charactors through out the book. I loved how Tavis orginally statted using her as a way to show power but then became protective of her and fell in love with her. But even till the very end of the book (like a true man) would not confess his love. I loved the scene where they parted and the scene where they came back together. And I was happy for the wonderfully happy ending I couldn't have asked for more. If I could recomend any book this would be it. From start to finish you will love this book. And I thank Hannah Howell for giving me such easy charactors to love. I look forward to reading more of her books.

Tavis and Storm are perfect for each other. Storm is one of my favorites. She is strong willed, outspoken, honest and "calls a spade, a spade". She is incapable of mincing words. Ms Howell does a marvelous job expressing the true, deeper feelings of these two people. Couldn't put it down with so much going on in the story. Another great find at auction. If you can find a copy don't pass it up, it will be worth the search.

This is a wonderful book! Had been waiting for its release and it lived up to the wait. Everybody will like this book, from its Outer Banks commentary to the characters to the surprise ending. Glad I found wendyhowellmills.com for book signing schedule and more! Thanks Wendy for these great books and keep 'em coming!

I absolutely loved the book! It's even better than the first one. I couldn't put it down and didn't know who the bad guy was until the end. Wendy's writing is wonderful and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm ready to read her next one as soon as she writes it. Way to go Wendy!

This book is a great read! It moves swiftly and keeps you guessing right up to the end. The characters from Mills' first book seem like old friends. Highly recommended!

A wonderful piece of work, Raines merely interviews the people from the wide and varied perspectives of the movement and gives them free rein to tell "their story" "their way" managing within this framework to lace a compelling and interesting plot around some states and some history that time and justice seemed to have forgotten.

Seven years Raines' junior, I grew up white and a carpetbagger (from the North. . .)in Augusta, GA and I now have context for stories I was told. One among many, I knew the Hamilton Holmes' car story told by the KA frat guys when they were adults, still bragging but also, "they didn't really mean it."

I am still quite mystified how a Birmin'ham boy, bragging that his Alabama ancestors fought for the Union, lived to tell about it.

I highly recommend "Fly Fishing . . ." as well. IT's NOT ABOUT THE FISH. Great read.

He thought it was tough being the baby brother; I can only suggest that he try getting fishing privileges as the Irish twin younger sister.

This book is on the list of 100 best or most influential books I've ever read--mainly because it is observant, honest, humble and direct, with no political agendas and no effete overtones. This is a title well worth re-examining some 20 years after publication. It can be browzed through at random, with something startling jumping at you on virtually every page. Or, it can be read straight through. It's quite a white-knuckle event. Many books have been written on the subject, but there's something quietly compelling about this one. Raines is one of our great journalists. This is a good way to become acquainted with him, in the days before he became elevated to one of the most prestigious newspaper jobs in the world.

Howell Raines is the new executive editor for "The New York Times," but he is at heart a writer. Both strengths come to the fore in this excellent book on the American civil rights movement. As an oral history, it necessarily contains first-hand accounts of dozens and dozens of the main (and not-so-important) players in the movement. Raines does a fine and fair job of putting their stories into essentially chronological order and editing or moving bits and pieces only where necessary to ensure good flow for the reader. There were a few names I had heard of before, but many were new to me. There are surprises in this book. While we mostly associate the civil rights movement with the deep south in the mid-1960s, it actually got its start in Chicago in the 1940s when groups of people protested with the first lunch-counter sit-ins (when a manager came out to scold one of these groups with the flat, "We don't serve colored folks here," one quick-witted participant fired back, "That's OK, we don't eat 'em!"). Another revelation was the tensions between the older blacks and the younger black student generation. The older blacks, while not happy with segregation, sometimes felt that at least everyone knew where they stood with it--while the younger generation was champing at the bit to get out there and change the world overnight. Finally, it was interesting to read that many of the original founders of the movement were inspired far more by Gandhi than by Martin Luther King, Jr. A number of them express their opinion that King--while undoubtedly important and absolutely essential once the movement got underway--was not himself so convinced as to the value of a) the movement itself and b) non-violent protest--many of this friends and co-workers say here that he continued to espouse it only because eventually, he felt he had been thoroughly and unmistakeably identified with it. Although I was surprised that neither Coretta Scott King nor the Reverend Jesse Jackson were inteviewed for Mr. Raines' book, their absence is my only quibble with what is otherwise an enormously valuable and terrifically readable history.

I received this cookbook as a wedding shower present. With the exception of the bath towels I also received, it is the shower present I have used the most in almost thirteen years of marriage.

While some of the recipes are traditional Southern cooking such as fried chicken and biscuits, that is by no means the extent of Cotton Country Cooking. The recipes reflect the diversity of cultures that make up America, and in paricular, the South. There is everything from Creole to German cuisine in Cotton Country Cooking. My personal favorites include Sweet and Sour Meatloaf, Banana Nut Bread, and Boiled Custard.

Are you tired of cooking the same thing over and over for your guests? Cotton Country Cooking is an excellent resource for when you entertain. If cooking is not what you enjoy, there are several easy and foolproof recipes for those times when you just can't get out of having to make something.

In this age of convenience and fast foods, why not treat yourself and your family and friends? Try the recipes in Cotton Country Cooking! They will taste the love.

Recipes are totally reliable and there's an amazing variety. All were tested before being accepted for inclusion. Written before concerns about sugar and fat really hit but baked goods recipes can be easily adjusted by reducing sugar or fat by one quarter to one third. Have been using this cookbook for more than twenty years and was delighted to find it still available.

I have bought and given this book away so many times that I have lost count. I lived in the south for only a few short years and came to love the people and their great foods. So when I moved west, I insisted on this book riding in the car with me. Every recipe in it can be trusted to be the hit of whatever the occasion might be. I don't plan any special meal without it.

This book is long overdue, yet it has come at just the right time. In order to heal ourselves and each other we must heal our planet. This is a great book for anyone of any path. I can't wait for the next one from Francesca!

Finally, a book that encompases the well being of not only humankind, but the relationship that we share with Mother Earth! This book is deliciously packed with multiple excercises to help enhance our knowledge and perception of the planet. While many books describe the need to be kind to the planet, Howell manages to help the reader develop his/her relationship with Gaia. This gives ample opportunity to the individual to work side by side with the Earth Mother for the betterment of life as we know it. Howell does an exceptional job of giving the reader a knowledgable basis to work with Earth's energies in our everyday lives. This book is well suited for the magically experienced, as well as for the individual who wishes to actively seek a concious and vibrant relationship with Gaia.

If your pagan, Wiccan or none of the above, but you are mindful of nature then this book is for you. It really brings to life how we as Spirtual people can combine this energy into aiding our Ecology. Francesca Ciancimino Howell brings to life the simplicity of walking in the path and how our practices can be directed to benifit us all and our Mother Gaia.

This book has a wealth of information about a wide variety of bird topics. It has bird anatomy, songs, how to build a nest box, etc. The main chapter of this book, named 'The Habitat BirdFinder' is a field guide to about 100 of the most commonly seen birds in North America, and isn't in any specific order, but by which habitat it is most likely to be seen in. It is very useful, with a large photograph and colour drawings with text for each bird. The range maps are very clear and easy to use. In the back of the book there is a good selection of other books and resources, including local birding organizations.
If you are looking for a first birding book, to get you started and familiar with birds, then this is a great start.

This book has been an excellent addition to my library on birding. Splendid photography! Helpful tips!Interesting insights and all at a great price. The book is beautiful and is clearly of high quality. You won't be disappointed!

This is a wonderfully put together reference book for bird watchers. I also gave one to my father as a gift and he just can't put it down. The pictures are teriffic and there's a lot of information about each bird. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys birds.

Al Gore might have grown up there had his father been a plumber who moved north for work. Not many St.Albans boys in that neighborhood though. As in none. Gotta wonder if Harrington and Gore don't hook up once in a while what with the wellheeled intellectual Nashville/DC connection. All in all not a bad intro to a forgotten people in a very interesting time and place. I was happy to have stumbled upon it.

This book should be mandatory reading for all high school students in the United States. Poverty is indeed a virtual reality in this book. You cannot help but gain an appreciation for all you have, however little it may be.

Howell utilizes a "hands on " approach to drive home the reality of a very large segment of our society by literally moving in with them and living the life - in spite of peril for one year. Through this approach, he gains the trust of two families, the Shacklefords and the Mosebys, and we are able to move into their homes, travel with them on their drunken runs, and thereby gain an insight from a perspective within that no "text" could ever offer us. I applaud this book and have used it yearly in classes since 1978 with raves from the students.

I enjoyed the story very much and liked that Ainslee was able to stand her ground when fighting with the enemy she was able to take on any man in the fight. I wished she was more able to walk away from her family, but I guess that was the times. Sir Gabel he was wonderful,but I was angry about his attitude in the beginning seems to me she went though too much, for him to see she was worthy of him and it was nevered questioned about his worthiness to her. I did enjoy the scenes and the love scenes.

A Valiant Knight and a Brave and Courageous Lass! Who could ask for anything more. Oh, this was a story I can appreciate for a long, long time. Reading a lot of romance novels where the main characters continually misunderstand each other had me begging for an author to find characters who could understood one another. This story did it! I was so glad to read that circumstances beyond their control was what kept them apart. The sacrifices was such that no one could ever question the love and trust each had for the other. This was a story of emotions. Enjoy.

I just loved this book. It was enthralling and captivating. It is definetly a must read. One of my absolute favorite romance novels. The characters were so well written and it was unique in the sense that the obstacles the lovers had did not really come from the fact that they mistrusted each other, but obstacles by their circumstances. I've read and re-read this so often, I think I have it memorized!

In this "Enzyme Nutrition", Eddie Howell and May Murray managed to squeeze a lot of information into a compact space. A good effort indeed!
The book is small; but, touched every vital point. Its outline good, and includes: the catalytic nature of food enzymes; their individual sources; stability; instability; as well as other biochemical and physiological characteristics.
This book will be of great benefit to nutritionist/dieticians, biochemists, pharmacologists, and many others. Its theme is simple and straightforward. Still, I will advise any non-science biased enthusiasts (like: bodybuilders and fitness [people]), who would like to venture into it, to keep a biochemistry dictionary at hand. "Enzyme Nutrition" will assist its readers in assessing and selecting healthy natural foods. It is an ideal and affordable advisor, which diabetics and other persons with limited food choice would enjoy reading.

I found this book very informative and enlightening but too technical at times which made the learning process a little less enjoyable for me.

This seminal work by Dr. Howell fills a much needed void in the nutrition paradigm. With abundant clinical research to back his findings, he explains the critical importance of consuming foods rich in natural enzymes and how these life-sustaining molecules are destroyed by our modern methods of cooking, sterilizing, and processing foods. Written on a level basic enough for people with little nutrition background, yet comprehensive enough to take a doctor like myself to a new level of understanding regarding the power of raw foods in both health and disease. He even takes one quote from the standard "bible" of anatomy for all U.S. medical schools, Gray's Anatomy, which points out that the human stomach is actually similar to the well known ruminant animals in having two seperate divisions for digestion. This book, which took over 20 years to compile and originally spanned over 700 pages, was written by a man who dedicated his life to patient care and research. This is an excellent primer for anyone interested in learning the value of unadulterated food in its natural state for health maintenance, as well as the ultimate natural weapon in conquering disease.
