Petite Gaby is a story of life and death, special relationships, lost innocence and great joy. It is a personal story of struggle and redemption, written with openness and candor. Gaby's journey begins in a tiny town in France where she is orphaned, abused, and spends years in an orphanage before coming to America. Tempestuous teenage years, a troubled marriage, and the loss of a very special child bring Gaby into the abyss of despair. Ultimately, she finds a way to turn her struggle into joy and contentment. It is the author's intention that this story be a gift of hope to those going through dark days and a reminder that we never walk alone, no matter how painful our human afflictions.

Hatfield's Herbal

The Curious Stories of Britain's Wild Plants

By: Gabrielle Hatfield

Hatfield's Herbal is the story of how people all over Britain have used its wild plants throughout history, for reasons magical, mystical and medicinal. Gabrielle Hatfield has drawn on a lifetime's knowledge to describe the properties of over 150 native plants, and the customs that surround them: from predicting the weather with seaweed to using deadly nightshade to make ladies' pupils dilate appealingly, and from ensuring a husband's faithfulness with butterbur to warding off witches by planting a rowan tree. Filled with stories, folklore and remedies both strange and practical, this is a memorable and eye-opening guide to the richness of Britain's heritage.

Encyclopedia of Folk Medicine

Old World and New World Traditions

By: Gabrielle Hatfield

A wide-ranging compilation on the materia medica of the ordinary people of Britain and North America, comparing practices in both places. Informative and engaging, yet authoritative and well researched, Encyclopedia of Folk Medicine reveals previously unexamined connections between folk medicine practices on either side of the Atlantic, as well as within different cultures (Celtic, Native American, etc.) in the United Kingdom and America. For students, school and public libraries, folklorists, anthropologists, or anyone interested in the history of medicine, it offers a unique way to explore the fascinating crossroads where social history, folk culture, and medical science meet. From the 17th century to the present, the encyclopedia covers remedies from animal, vegetable, and mineral sources, as well as practices combining natural materia medica with rituals. Its over 200 alphabetically organized, fully cross-referenced entries allow readers to look up information both by ailment and by healing agent. Entries present both British and North American traditions side by side for easy comparison and identify the surprising number of overlaps between folk and scientific medicine.
