 Margaret enjoys a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction but is particularly well read in natural history. While Webster Enterprises has lured her away from her old job at the bookstore she still helps out (with this web site for instance) and we still claim her as part of our family. Here are some of her recent and all time favorite books. Webster Enterprises Webster Enterprises of Jackson County, Inc. is a private, non-profit, corporation that provides vocational assessment and evaluation, work adjustment training, and supportive services to any eligible individual who has a disability that creates a substantial barrier to employment. The goal of Webster Enterprises is to provide services that will help participants develop transferable skills, attitudes and behaviors to enhance their vocational potential and ability to be successful in their employment objectives.  Heart Earth: 5a Memoir (Paperback)ISBN-13: 9780140235081 Availability: Out of Print Published: Penguin (Non-Classics), 10/01/1994 In 1978 Ivan Doig published This
House of Sky, a magnificently
written book telling of growing up
in rugged mountain wilderness in
the 1940s. He was a boy of six
when his mother died and his
father and grandmother
struggled to become a family for
him. As Doig says, ?Wounded
hard, they go off to their private
ways. Until at last the wifeless
man offers across to the
daughter-robbed woman. And I
am the agreed barter between
them.?
Doig thought, with the
satisfaction of 150,000 readers,
that the story had been told. But
then he discovered his mother?s
letters from the end of the war
years. Out of her narrative come
the resonances of heart and
earth. This book, Heart Earth,
was published in 1993. So now,
enjoy both of these books from a
writer who really proves the
power of language.  The River Why (Paperback)$14.95 ISBN-13: 9781578050840Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Sierra Club Books, 10/01/2002  $12.95 ISBN-13: 9780618127368Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Mariner Books, 06/01/2001 I have been an avid fan of the
writings of Rick Bass since
reading his first nonfiction book,
Winter. Colter proved to be a
heart-arming story of a man and
his dog. Colter is a German shorthair puppy who is the litter runt whom nobody else wanted. As they start bird hunting and training together in the mountains of Montana, Bass is awed by Colter?s intelligence, physical stamina, and superb hunting instinct. The strength of this book lies in its simplicity. Rick Bass can take a reader from laughter to tears with vivid descriptions and words that come straight from his heart and soul. Even though I know nothing about hunting with a dog, the connection and relationship between Bass and Colter is recognizable to any animal lover. This story about a loyal and loving friendship is unforgettable!  Captain Saturday (Paperback)ISBN-13: 9780316089739 Availability: Out of Print Published: Back Bay Books, 01/01/2003 North Carolina author Robert
Inman has just seen his fourth
novel published, entitled Captain
Saturday. I have enjoyed all of
his other novels very much, and
this one was just as warmly
humorous, fun, and entertaining
as the others (Home Fires
Burning, Old Dogs and Children,
and Dairy Queen Days). In
Captain Saturday, Will Baggett,
has been the celebrity TV
weatherman in Raleigh for 20
years. In a series of events,
Will?s
comfortable, job-centered, well-
planned life drastically unravels,
as he loses his job, serves jail
time, and retreats to his
childhood home, where he must
confront his past and get
reacquainted with some
eccentric family members. At
home, too, Will must deal with
changes in his relationship with
his wife and son. These
characters are great fun to know,
and the ending was just what I
was hoping for!

W. Norton & Company, 09/01/2007 A brand new book by one's favorite author is always a cause of celebration, and I've hit the jackpot. The Zoookeeper's Wife: A War Story, by Diane Ackerman, is the true story of Jan Zabinski and his wife, Antonina, the zookeepers of the Warsaw Zoo in Poland. Together, during World War Two, they participate in the Polish resistance, share their love and respect for all creatures, and through incredible odds temporarily harbor hundreds of Jews amonth the bombed-out buildings of the zoo. These hidden people are then safely and silently sent on out to the rest of their lives. Like the next book on my "recommended" list (The Snoring Bird, by Bernd Heinrich), this book taught me world history while examining the human need to be a part of the natural world and told the personal stories of the strength and complexity of the human spirit.  Email or call for price ISBN-13: 9780060742157 Availability: Special Order - Subject to Availability Published: Ecco, 05/01/2007 This is the true story of Heinrich's father and family as they live and die through both World Wars and the incredible circumstances that brought them to live in America.
