DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Step into a town where all the children are friends, but a drought has made the adults so grumpy they can't stop arguing! Only a miracle can heal this divided town. Folks are so hopeless, they almost don't recognize that miracle when it appears as a woman who specializes in rainsongs. Yet slowly the townspeople realize that with faith they can sustain each other during the dry times, and then sing down the rain together. Joy Cowley's lyrical text and Jan Spivey Gilchrist's impassioned paintings create a story of a community's struggle to believe, and to connect with each other.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →'I'm singing in the rain, Just singing in the rain. What a glorious feeling. I'm happy again!' Based on the classic song, this beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates rain and all its fun. Jump in puddles, raise umbrellas, and dance with joy through the pages of this gorgeous story. Sweet and positive in its message, with bright, eye-catching art, this book is an uplifting celebration of rain! 'Singing in the Rain' is one of the world's best-loved songs and the centrepiece of one of my favourite films. I love the song's positive message, and the iconic sequence of Gene Kelly dancing in the rain always raises a smile. As adults we tend to think of rain as an inconvenience rather than the joyous thing that it is. Next time it rains, step outside, feel the rain on your face, and give the clouds up above your biggest smile!'

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Can two people brought together by desperate circumstances help one another heal, and maybe even begin a new life? New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin’s Send Down the Rain answers the questions of what it means—and what level of sacrifice it takes—to truly love someone. Allie is still recovering from the loss of her family’s beloved waterfront restaurant on Florida’s Gulf Coast when she loses her second husband to a terrifying highway accident. Devastated and losing hope, she shudders to contemplate the future—until a cherished person from her past returns. Joseph has been adrift for many years, wounded in both body and spirit and unable to come to terms with the trauma of his Vietnam War experiences. Just as he resolves to abandon his search for peace and live alone in a remote cabin in the Carolina mountains, he discovers a mother and her two small children lost in the forest. A man of character and strength, he instinctively steps in to help them get back to their home in Florida. There he will return to his own hometown—and witness the accident that launches a bittersweet reunion with his childhood sweetheart, Allie. When Joseph offers to help Allie rebuild her restaurant, it seems the flame may reignite—until a forty-five-year-old secret begins to emerge, threatening to destroy all hope for their second chance at love. Send Down the Rain will take you on a journey that spans the sweltering migrant worker routes of south Florida, muddy battlefields of Vietnam, thickets of northwest North Carolina, and the idyllic shores of America’s most beautiful beach (Cape San Blas). At the story’s center lies the question: What does it mean—and what level of sacrifice does it take—to truly love someone? Praise for Send Down the Rain: “Charles Martin understands the power of story and he uses it to alter the souls and lives of both his characters and his readers.”—Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author Full-length, stand-alone novel Includes discussion questions for book clubs Also by bestselling author Charles Martin: The Mountain Between Us, Chasing Fireflies, When Crickets Cry, and The Letter Keeper

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →When they arrived, they spread across the sky like a sea of jellyfish--silent, unknown, alien. When they left, a year later, it seemed as if nothing had changed. But soon, certain girls were born with peculiar abilities--inhuman abilities. An international commission was formed to investigate...and fear began to spread. Families were swept from their homes and, one by one, any girl that was different disappeared. Penn Roma's four sisters were born with these dreaded powers: they control the elements of fire, water, earth, and wind. Penn is the unimaginable fifth child, one with the power to call down the stars. Her father has hidden his daughters' powers for sixteen years. Then, one explosive night, Penn loses everything: her sisters are taken, her family destroyed. Now, Penn must do the unthinkable and use the power she's spent a lifetime suppressing. To save her family and herself, she must travel to the very heart of her world's darkness and discover the truth about her terrifying gift.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Poems are about our lives and how they fleetingly unfold - a swaying rope bridge from one culture to another, one person to another. The work of manifesting the sound and feeling of what happens, often from a “place of no language”, forms the ground from which I write. How often have I sat on my doorstep, coffee cup in hand, thinking of other women doing the very same thing across the world. We live in the same universe, though most of us will never meet – except through words. Words have the power to sculpt the very deepest response to this strange, exquisite and terrible journey of life, witness what is here, give shape to what is to come, what may never come. I hope this book will find and touch your life as your unknown presence touches mine.
