    The Little Way of Ruthie Leming follows Rod Dreher, a Philadelphia journalist, back to his hometown of St. Francisville, Louisiana (pop. 1,700) in the wake of his younger sister Ruthie's death. When she was diagnosed at age 40 with a virulent form of cancer in 2010, Dreher was moved by the way the community he had left behind rallied around his dying sister, a schoolteacher. He was also struck by the grace and courage with which his sister dealt with the disease that eventually took her life. In Louisiana for Ruthie's funeral in the fall of 2011, Dreher began to wonder whether the ordinary life Ruthie led in their country town was in fact a path of hidden grandeur, even spiritual greatness, concealed within the modest life of a mother and teacher. In order to explore this revelation, Dreher and his wife decided to leave Philadelphia, move home to help with family responsibilities and have their three children grow up amidst the rituals that had defined his family for five generations - Mardi Gras, L.S.U. football games, and deer hunting. As David Brooks poignantly described Dreher's journey homeward in a recent New York Times column, Dreher and his wife Julie "decided to accept the limitations of small-town life in exchange for the privilege of being part of a community." ungekürzt.

    Mofy sammelt Erdbeeren und geht auf den Tauschmarkt. Sie sucht Geschenke für ihre Freunde. Für Harry findet sie einen Füller, für Monty eine Sonnenbrille, den Eichhörnchen bringt sie Kastanien mit, und Familie Maus bekommt eine Tischdecke und Servietten. Als sie einen schönen roten Schal sieht, hat sie keine Erdbeeren mehr, um sich auch eine Freude machen zu können. Aber ihre Freunde überraschen sie am nächsten Tag mit dem Schal, weil sie sich so sehr über die Geschenke gefreut haben. Im Obstgarten fällt ein schöner roter Apfel direkt vor Mofys Füße. Sie ist so glücklich darüber, dass sie gleich ein Lied über diesen Apfel dichtet. Aber ihr fällt kein Schluss ein. Auf dem Nachhauseweg trifft Mofy Harry, der sie zum Tee einlädt. Mofy zeigt ihm den Apfel und erzählt ihm, dass sie am nächsten Tag einen Apfelkuchen backen möchte. Harry hat eine Überraschung für Mofy. Er möchte den Tee mit ihr auf dem Boot trinken. Aber er hat vergessen einzukaufen und nur noch eine Banane im Haus. Er teilt die Banane mit Mofy. Mofy teilt ihren Apfel mit Harry. Und Harry fällt ein wunderschöner Schluss für Mofys Lied ein. Die Eichhörnchen-Brüder suchen nach Eicheln. Aber es ist nicht einfach, welche zu finden. Der Wind hat sie von den Bäumen geblasen, und Berge von Laub liegen auf dem Waldboden. Mofy will gerade anfangen, den Brüdern zu helfen, als der Affe Manni vorbeikommt. Er nutzt einen herumliegenden Ast als Besen, und im Nu sind die Eicheln frei gefegt. Aber bevor die Brüder sie einsammeln können, zieht ein Gewitter auf. Die Freunde suchen sich schnell einen Unterschlupf, um nicht nass zu werden. Für Manni ist es ein Glückstag. In seiner Heimat, im Süden, regnet es nicht so oft. Als das Gewitter vorbei ist, sind die Eicheln wieder unter einem Laubteppich verschwunden. Die Freunde haben Spaß daran, gemeinsam mit Manni das Laub beiseite zu fegen. Und so ist der Tag auch für sie zu einem Glückstag geworden. deutsch.

    When It Falls, book 5: After their success against the Ascendants is used by the Vestibulum as a cover for the mass murder of their old enemies, Sean has discovered that the Vestis are far more ruthless and dangerous than the previous two councils he's fought. After 200 years of holding on to the leadership position among all of the councils, obviously the Vestibulum isn't going to give up anything to anyone. While Sean promised not to start a war, it's looking more and more like that choice isn't going to be his to make. Especially when the other Ascendant chapters come calling to avenge their dead. Then there are the people that Sean saved from the Ascendants during the raid, all of whom he's responsible for, and for whom he now has to provide with a place to live as well as protections from the magic of their former masters. Then there are the four dark elves that were freed during the raid, two of whom are now very interested in Sean, and one isn't at all afraid to let him know, constantly. And just how do you go about introducing your mother to your (several) wives when she shows up in a few days?
