Описание:

An Unforgettable Day reflects a family's emotional rollercoaster day after a massive snowstorm unexpectedly shuts down the local school. The read becomes an excellent teaching moment for parents concerning their child's safety and the importance of good communication. Excitement accelerates as Lang's two young daughters, Patti and Tresie, quickly develop a plan with friends to build a snow fort on the golf course across the street. Their goal was for No One to EVER find their castle, including their mother, as they were unwilling to give up their secret. However, their dream turns into a disaster as the fort collapses and buries the four children. Not only was the tunnel filled with snow, but the entire room, as well. Facing life and death danger, Patti takes command by trying to calm the kids. "Try not to cry, or panic, we have to conserve air. I'm sure when we don't show up for lunch, mom will come and find us." Patti prayed, but inside she was frightened to death and knew her mother had no idea of where to look. The four children pushed and pushed on the hard snow, but to no avail as their fright turned into terror.

Almost as a premonition, panic set in Mrs. Lang's mind when the children failed to show for lunch. Immediately she sent her eldest daughter, Julie to search for the missing children, but in a short time returned without them. Now, fearful she immediately calls Mr. Lang, their son, Thad, and Danny's mothers to alert them. Soon, the entire neighborhood became involved by forming a search party. After successive attempts to find the missing children, FEAR becomes paramount as a feeling of hopelessness spreads throughout. As an ACT from God, the family dog, Casey, shows up and began searching for her favorite cushion that Tresie had taken from their home to use in the fort. Casey becomes the HERO by saving the children on this Unforgettable Day. CASEY had quickly changed the search party's emotions from FEAR and HOPELESSNESS to HOPE and LOVE by creating the possibilities of "Good things happening."

What a DAY Throughout, the children's book, An Unforgettable Day, the narrative of family love, teamwork, and especially the Lang's adorable dog, Casey, resonates with an array of emotions.

Описание:

Lillie Crawford is dying. Her mind slowly succumbing to the ruthlessness of Alzheimer's, Lillie's remaining time on Earth is predicted to be a slow and difficult journey.

But if you ask Norah, her mother's death could not come soon enough. Haunted by memories of the years of abuse she suffered at Lillie's hand, Norah left her mother and started a new life as soon as she was old enough. And twenty-one years later, even after that new life falls apart, the last thing Norah wants to do is go home and take care of the person she hates most in the world.

But with no other choices and no place left to go, Norah finds herself back in the town she tried so desperately to leave behind, a town full of the people she forced herself to forget. And in that desolate house her mother beat her in, taking care of a woman who cannot stand the sight of her, Norah is forced to reckon with her past as old friends and old nightmares come to visit.

As the seasons go by, Norah begins to lose herself in the storm that is her crumbling life. But as the waves crash over her, Norah begins to see that maybe there is something underneath, brought to the surface by the eddies of shame and sadness. Maybe there will be something left standing when the storm has passed. Something that looks a little like hope. The only question is whether Norah will stick around to see it.
