Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, naturalist Joanna Burger takes us on a series of delightful trips through the Pine Barrens. From the Albany Pine Bush, the Long Island Barrens, and the New Jersey Pine Barrens in the Northeast, to the pinelands of South Carolina and Florida, Burger describes in lively detail how these habitats have come to harbor such a unique assemblage of species. She introduces us to amphibians and reptiles, neotropical migrants and other birds, and a range of common and unusual mammals. Burger also traces the regions' historic and geologic backgrounds, and the impact of human occupation from the time of the paleo-Indians to the present. She revisits the tension between development and preservation, reminding us that a healthy pine barren region requires uninterrupted land and rejuvenating fires, both of which are increasingly jeopardized. Whispers in the Pines is essential reading for everyone concerned with the history and preservation of these unique landscapes and their wildlife.

Book excerpt: Whispering Pines is a coming-of-age story.Three characters reside in its heart-Jon Wright (aka Midnight), a soft-hearted, sentimental young man wise beyond his years, Claire, a beauty in the traditional sense who lacks confidence and feels invisible in a household with nine siblings, and most notably Bryn Wilson, a smart, promising adolescent, poised on the threshold of adulthoodThe story begins with Bryn looking to escape yet another argument between her self-absorbed mother, Charlotte, and her brother, Jack. Bryn heads toward Claire's house, but gets sidetracked. She is pre-occupied with the ever-present anxiety in her home life. Without thinking, she goes well past her friend's house and runs into Christian Bello. He invites Bryn to go downriver for the afternoon and she accepts. Over the course of that lazy, beautiful trip, Bryn falls hard for him, but for Chris, it is nothing more than the beginning of a summer romance. When September rolls around, Bryn is abandoned. She is undaunted by the breakup and sets her sights on reconciliation. She ignores his rejections and the advice of friends and sets her sights on getting him back at any cost. When Chris is falsely accused of a crime, he ultimately seeks the solace of Bryn's long-waiting arms. They spend more and more time with one another, which arouses suspicions in those around her. Her friends, classmates, neighbors, even Chris, wonder whether Bryn had something do to with his fate in an attempt to draw him back into her life. Chris is dragged down by his arrest, an impending trial and probable jail time, and he takes his own life.Bryn is haunted by Chris's death. There is little sympathy from her family or friends she thought she could count on for condolence. Bryn decides to leave the small town she loves and look for a place where she can hide, but running away doesn't provide the cloak or clarity Bryn seeks until Midnight reveals something that rocks her foundation and forces her to make decisions about who she is and who she wants to be.

Book excerpt: Many of us spend a great deal of our time dreaming about our next trip to the mountains, whether for a weekend getaway or our yearly vacation. We hear within that deep inexplicable pull toward the wilderness and would agree with John Muir, who said: "The mountains are calling and I must go." We sense that in the wild we are touching the edge of something that is both wonderful and mysterious.In this book Erik Stensland, a professional landscape photographer based in Estes Park, Colorado, explores this longing we have for the wilderness and suggests that it is the trailhead for a journey to wholeness. Through short daily reflections on the natural world paired with his gorgeous photos from Rocky Mountain National Park, he encourages us to go deeper within ourselves and discover the healing that nature is offering.

On the heels of her blowout European tour, opera star Emma Langtry has returned home to Whispering Pines to spend time with her family. But she isn’t alone: a smitten French prince has followed her, determined to win her love. While Emma enjoys his company, marriage isn’t on her agenda. Then she meets the mysterious Clay Hunt . . . Clay is the new pastor in Whispering Pines. Years ago, after a shattering loss, he left everything behind—including his faith—to seek revenge. Tormented by his actions, he’s now resolved to earn redemption, and has devoted himself to his parishioners. He believes he has nothing to give any woman, not even one as enticing and headstrong as Emma Langtry. But when the Langtry sisters’ outlaw brother turns up, bringing danger in his wake, fate will bring Emma and Clay together—and once that happens, nothing will be able to tear them apart . . .
