Each summer, Kate Livingston returns to her family's lakeside cottage, a place of simple living and happy times -- a place where she now hopes her shy little boy can blossom. But her quiet life gets a bit more interesting with the arrival of an intriguing new neighbor, JD Harris. Although she is a confirmed single mother and knows little of JD's past, Kate is soon drawn into the sweetness of a summer romance and discovers the passion of a lifetime. JD has good reason for being secretive. In a moment of sheer bravery the Washington, D.C., paramedic prevented a terrible tragedy. Overnight the intensely private man became a national hero. He's hardly able to remember who he was before the media frenzy . . . until he escapes to this lovely, remote part of the Northwest. Now Kate Livingston and her son have rekindled the joy of small pleasures and peace, something he thought he'd never have again. But how long will his blissful anonymity last before reality comes banging at his door?, Mira Books, 2005, Collection of letters written to Lang-Sims by that most eccentric of the Inklings, the group of writers and friends associated with J. R. R. Tolkien. Introduced and notes by Glen Cavaliero. 89 page trade paperback. "The short-lived but remarkable correspondence presented in Letters to Lalage took place toward the end of Charles Williams' life. Lois Lang-Sims was not the first young woman to seek his help or to fall beneath his spell. When she wrote to him in September 1943 Williams had already had numerous admirers, pupils, and disciples who looked to him for counsel, for advice, and most especially, for encouragement. His affinity with Lois Lang-Sims was not surprising. Some thirty years younger than he was, she was in due course herself to become a forceful and individual writer whose literary output, though relatively small, was almost as varied as Williams' own. In Lois Lang-Sims' writings, as in those of Charles Williams, a variety of literary forms embody a singleness of imaginative vision. But at the time of their first meeting she was only twenty-six years old and, according to her autobiographical A Time to be Born, in a state of great mental and emotional confusion. Now, nearly fifty years later, she presents the letters Williams wrote to her, together with her own comments on a relationship that was to come to such an abrupt, and in some respects disturbing, end. The intense demands of Williams' mental and imaginative life did not permit him to be readily or relaxingly gregarious, though in whatever company he happened to be, for example as part of the Inklings group at Oxford, he was a powerful presence. Letters to Lalage enables us to study his involvement in one particular relationship with one particular person. As such they form an invaluable supplement to the more general accounts of Williams' life supplied by his biographers. As a writer Williams blends to a remarkable degree those seemingly contradictory characteristics of impersonality and mannered idiosyncrasy which were features of his daily bearing. We see here something of the hypnotic quality of Charles Williams' character and may obtain from it a deep if glancing insight into his extremely vulnerable humanity. At times a painful document, Letters to Lalage is of the greatest value in illuminating some of the more troubled aspects of a Christian writer and teacher who, more convincingly than most, could evoke the nature of joy--and who could induce joy in other people, however precariously he may have been aware of it himself. Most especially this book gives one an insight into the price Charles Williams paid (and unwittingly exacted) for his particular gifts and vision.", Kent State University Press, 1989, Harper Collins, 2003.

Description: Michael Korda's Horse People is the story -- sometimes hilariously funny, sometimes sad and moving, always shrewdly observed -- of a lifetime love affair with horses, and about the bonds that have linked humans with horses for more than ten thousand years. It is filled with intimate portraits of the kind of people, rich or poor, Eastern or Western, famous or humble, whose lives continue to revolve around the horse. How is it that the horse, neither a pet nor, strictly speaking, a working animal, has managed to survive and even thrive in the modern world, and whence comes our fascination for this creature, which is at once fragile and immensely strong, docile yet amazingly swift, friendly but still at heart wild? Korda has spent his entire life around people who love horses -- in fact he met his wife, Margaret, while they were both riding in New York's Central Park. His book is a loving tribute to a shared obsession that takes the reader far afield, whether it's foxhunting in Virginia, the rodeo in Madison Square Garden, the world of competitive riding, or the simple enjoyment of a daily, early-morning ride in the country. Indeed, many of the ""characters"" in his book -- which, like the works of the great nineteenth-century British sporting novelistSurtees, whom Korda so admires, is as much about horsesas ""horse people"" -- are the horses he (and Margaret) have owned, loved, ridden, and sometimes lost, to old age or disease, over the years. Readers who love horses will appreciate the often touching portraits of such animals as Tabasco, Margaret's elderly Thoroughbred, whom she rescued from life as a hack in Central Park; True Grit, the strong-minded mare who hated joggersand dogs; Hustle, the kindly gentleman of a quarterhorse who never put a foot wrong, even when he lost one eye to cancer; and Margaret's favorite, Nebraska, an Appaloosa mare (nicknamed ""Miss Braveheart"") who went on to win innumerable medals, ribbons, and awards, and whose untimely death is told in one of the most poignant scenes in the book. It is also about many people, from prisoners who rehabilitate broken-down racehorses to famous riders (such as William Steinkraus, who rode in five Olympics and won four medals, including the individual gold in Mexico City in 1968), farriers, vets, horse dealers of all kinds, and little girls with their ponies. Horses have a way of taking over one's life, and Horse People is the story of that obsession -- of people who love horses, or know horses, or make their living from horses, or who just plain can't imagine what life would be like without horses. Korda is an unparalleled storyteller, and his book is intensely personal and seductive, a joy for everyone who loves horses -- though even those who have never ridden will be happy to saddle up and follow him through the world of horses, horse people, and the riding life."", Harper Collins, 2003, Grand Rapids, Michigan: Baker Book House, 1972.
