Unaware of the warning signs, Val Bouchard suffered a massive heart attack. After a frenzied rush to the hospital and a devastating prognosis, Val and his wife, Marie, prepared themselves for the worst. But they didn't know that was only the beginning. Six years later Val was told there was nothing more the doctors could do for him. He was maxed out on medications, and doctors expected a quick decline. But with his heart failing him again, Val became a candidate for a heart transplant and was told he would be in the hospital until he either died or received a new heart. Told from both Val and Marie's perspectives, Walk with the Shadow vividly depicts one family's struggle for life. Through the painful experience, Marie and Val clung to their faith in God to carry them through. Marie witnessed many miracles and realized her calling—to help others who are suffering. Walk with the Shadow demonstrates the miracles that God bestows and is a poignant reminder of the treasure life is.
Once people encounter the natural world and become aware of its intricacy, fragility, beauty, and significance, they will recognize the need for conservation. The fascinating development of natural history studies in North America is portrayed through the life stories of 22 naturalists. The 19th century saw early North American naturalists such as Alexander Wilson, the "Father of American Ornithology," John James Audubon, and Thomas Nuttall describing and illustrating the spectacular flora and fauna they found in the New World. Scientists of the Smithsonian Institution and the Canadian Museum of Nature worked feverishly to describe and catalogue the species that exist on the continent. Great nature writers such as Florence Merriam Bailey, Cordelia Stanwood, Margaret Morse Nice, Louise de Kiriline Lawrence, and Roger Tory Peterson wrote in depth about the lives and behaviours of birds. Early conservationists such as Jack Miner, the "Father of Conservation," created nature preserves. Today, noted naturalists such as Robert Nero, Robert Bateman, Kenn Kaufman, and David Allen Sibley do everything they can to encourage people to experience nature directly in their lives and to care about its protection and preservation.
