My Balancing Act

By: Patty Jacobs

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

At forty-one, after a few nagging clues, Patty Jacobs's lifestyle got into a tussle with her central nervous system. The attack of Multiple Sclerosis on her body had a sudden and staggering onset. She tried to muster optimism, perseverance, and assertiveness to combat the fatigue, grief, and privation she felt on loosing her physically active, former way of life. Pacing herself, trying to connect her body and brain, are her ongoing trials, as she approaches living with MS as a challenge rather than an obstacle. My Balancing Act centers on managing illness without being consumed by it. These essays tell of the early adjustments the author made, her quest for self-reliance, and how she avoids defeat by seeking out new experiences and associations.

The Ladies of Lancaster County

The Faithfulness of a Friend: Book 4

By: Patty Stansell

The Rohrer place was a buzz with Moses and Amelia Rohrer finally having the kinskinner to love in their golden years as they had dreamed of for the past thirty years. They loved the two couples living there as both couples actually have a genuine walk with their Lord and Savior, and it showed in all they do. The love bestowed upon Moses and Amelia came so natural from all four adults living there with them. Laura had been spending time with Darcy since they both gave depositions to put those responsible for Lauras abduction into the city. Darcy even asked Laura to lunch to see what there was to do in the quaint area Laura loved so much. Laura knew she could not stay long as Paula was carrying her second bobbeli and that was too much to ask of her dear friend. After all, Josh was getting bigger every day as was Paulas firstborn, Joey. However, both Paula and Amelia knew how important it was for Laura to spend time with Darcy in case a door opened so she could share Christ with her. Rachael was beaming within at the thought of being a mammi again so soon. She gave her praises to God not only for a longer life, but also for a kinskinner to share it with. Her two best friends stopped by daily for a midmorning Bible study, and it left them all invigorated to go on with their daily chores. With Jacob living and working on the Rohrer property, it gave him more time to spend with Laura. He didnt want to push her, and he wanted her to heal emotionally and spiritually and had high hopes for their own family growing soon. It would be in Gods timing, and this he knew for sure and for certain.

Rebuilding the American Town

Design and Strategy at Small Scale

By: David Gamble,Patty Heyda

In the scholarship of urbanism, small towns are overlooked and understudied. Rebuilding the American Town highlights how smaller municipalities are transforming to serve their communities and meet the future. The book uncovers creative planning and design strategies of nine U.S. towns as they rebuild to remain vibrant, equitable and viable in the face of metropolitan sprawl, population shifts, political division, economic shortfalls and climate change. Rebuilding the American Town includes interviews and insights from those directly involved, to reveal the challenges and advantages of being a smaller city while highlighting the power of design at local levels. The book provides a new lens for contemporary urbanism more broadly as it shifts thinking away from large-metro concerns, toward novel, tactical strategies that advance the quality of life for residents through design and policies that are scaled to the populations and places they serve. The projects in this book show how the small town in the United States is unexpectedly progressive, experimental, urban and global.

Columbus and Stillwater County

By: Patty Hooker

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Columbus and Stillwater County

By: Patty Hooker

Stillwater County's history is anything but still. In 1875, the trading post and stage stop of Stillwater at the confluence of the Yellowstone and Stillwater Rivers enticed trade with the Crow Indians based nearby at their second Crow Agency. The Northern Pacific Railroad built a station here in 1882, renaming it Columbus in 1894. Columbus soon became an important shipping center for early cattle and sheep ranchers, as well as a starting point for many homesteaders who staked claims in the fertile valleys. Agriculture was a key component in the formation and settling of the communities Park City, Reed Point, Absarokee, and Fishtail. The nearby Beartooth Mountains beckoned miners with ore and eventually supplied the nation with chromium during World War II. A major engineering accomplishment was completed in the mid-1920s with the construction of the power plant and dam at nearby Mystic Lake.

Hit So Hard

A Memoir

By: Patty Schemel

A stunningly candid portrait of the Seattle grunge scene of the '90s and a memoir of an addict during the last great era of rock 'n' roll excess, by Hole drummer Patty Schemel Patty Schemel's story begins with a childhood surrounded by the AA meetings her parents hosted in the family living room. Their divorce triggered her first forays into drinking at age twelve and dovetailed with her passion for punk rock and playing the drums. Patty's struggles with her sexuality further drove her notoriously hard playing, and by the late '80s she had focused that anger, confusion, and drive into regular gigs with well-regarded bands in Tacoma, Seattle, and Olympia, Washington. She met a pre-Nirvana Kurt Cobain at a Melvins show, and less than five years later, was living with him and his wife, Hole front-woman Courtney Love, at the height of his fame and on the cusp of hers. As the platinum-selling band's new drummer, Schemel contributed memorable, driving beats to hits like "Beautiful Son," "Violet," "Doll Parts," and "Miss World." But the band was plagued by tragedy and heroin addiction, and by the time Hole went on tour in support of their ironically titled and critically-acclaimed album Live Through This in 1994, both Cobain and Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff had died at the age of 27 With surprising candor and wit, Schemel intimately documents the events surrounding her dramatic exit from the band in 1998 that led to a dark descent into a life of homelessness and crime on the streets of Los Angeles, and the difficult but rewarding path to lasting sobriety after more than twenty serious attempts to get clean. Hit So Hard is a testament not only to the enduring power of the music Schemel helped create but an important document of the drug culture that threatened to destroy it.

The Life Codes

By: Patty Harpenau

In the tradition of The Alchemist comes an internationally bestselling novel based on the author's own mystical journey to discover the seven secrets to creativity, abundance, healing, and love. Unsatisfied and unfulfilled by her understanding of life after the death of her father, Michal journeys to Jerusalem to see if the great mystic rabbis hold any answers. What she discovers, and what Patty Harpenau learned, were the seven secret codes to live by. The Life Codes embodies the mystical essence of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that have been locked in secret texts and whispered in private ritual only to men of a certain age. Patty Harpenau broke down barriers when she was given these codes, and in this novel based on her own spiritual journey, she shows the process of discovery and how to apply these seven secrets to our lives in order to fulfill our purpose and our potential. Each of the seven codes is revealed as part of Michal's narrative. Each of the seven chapters ends in questions that help readers integrate the code into their lives and develop their own spiritual paths to peace, creativity, abundance, self-acceptance, love, and happiness. It is a heart-wrenching story of love; of relationships that transcend time, life, and death; and of a woman breaking through barriers to achieve her greatest aspiration.

Baby Boat

A Memoir of Adoption

By: Patty Dann

The Baby Boat resonates with the joys and sorrows adoptive parents face. With dry humor and a quietly beautiful literary style, Patty Dann recounts the hurdles she and her husband encountered at every step during their journey to adopt a baby, from the endless waiting, through the heartbreaking loss of the infant girl who might have been their adoptive daughter, to their flight home from Lithuania with their son in their arms. As much an affecting love story as the poignant tale of one couples struggle to adopt, The Baby Boat captures the complex and subtle emotions of an adoptive parents experience.
