From a lonely childhood spent in rural Canada, idealistic Ann Morgan goes in search of her own identity as a young woman. In the mid-1950s she embarks on a trek that takes her to Asia as an employee of UNICEF in Bangkok and a British Intelligence Agency in Singapore. Her travels take her to Thailand, India, Burma, Indonesia, South Vietnam, Borneo, Malaya and other exotic locales, where she makes a contribution to reduce poverty and disease, as well as exposing subversive and illegal activities. Ann's adventures include treating a child with yaws, uncovering a smuggling ring, communing with Mt. Kanchenjunga near Mt. Everest, and riding local transportation. They also include an episode with a cobra and a meeting with a "bandit" in the Cambodian jungle. Ann gains insights into Asian culture, finds friendship, and in Bangkok has a brief love affair with an American doctor. She gradually discovers that she is a strong and independent young woman. Ann has found the rain for her roots. "With her painterly prose Naomi takes us down crowded urban streets and into the jungle, introducing us to exotic lands and fascinating people as she weaves her magical tales."-Lee Freehling, Librarian
Langley offers comfort and encouragement to those struggling with recent loss or grief, helping them find language for complex emotions, and open their hearts through poetry. Send My Roots Rain is a companion full of stories—sometimes wry and funny, always observant and accepting—for letting grief unfold and teach us. Langley invites a keen awareness that the passage through grief is the navigation of a narrow strait, requiring patience, skill, and worthy companions. These poems can be those companions on the journey. Langley has carefully selected 60 poems and arranged them in a meaningful arc, beginning with the shock of early grief, leading through a sensitive exploration of a new inner space. She introduces each section, encouraging the ongoing embrace of the healing power of poems, writing, and entry into the grieving process. Each poem is followed by a brief meditation and quotation, with questions for contemplation, journaling, or group discussion.
An urban woman artist arrives in a small southwestern town near the Mexican border at the invitation of the town priest. She has come to paint murals in his church, not knowing that the church has burned down in a catastrophic fire. The artist becomes the catalyst for the town's release of its collective guilt, allowing the rebuilding of the church & a truce between the Catholic priest & the town's old woman healer. In the process she faces her own terrifying nightmares, their source & the resolution of her sexual identity. A wonderful, fast-paced novel by a new talent.
The pressure of expectations often means that priests fail to care for themselves and neglect their own spiritual life. Christopher Chapman draws on more than thirty years’ experience of spiritual direction, as well as his own experience of priesthood, to offer life-giving practices and personal disciplines for spiritual health.

Can we design organizations in a way that creates a space where employees, the organization, and the larger community all thrive? And if so, where can we go for inspiration to help us achieve this goal? In a time of volatile and complex uncertainty, it is time to learn the lessons that nature has compiled from 3.8 billion years of research and development. Nature is an interdependent, dynamic and living system – just like today’s organizations and communities. Kathleen Allen uses nature as a model, mentor, and muse to rethink how leadership is practiced today. Leading from the Roots takes nature as a source of inspiration to help organizations see a new way of leading and designing workplace structure, applying the generous framework found in mature ecologies to human organizations. Kathleen Allen helps shift assumptions, practices, structures, and processes of organizations to become more resilient and nourishing for all, and, along the way, design the way out of workplace dysfunction and drama. “Leading from the Roots provides a powerful new way of thinking about organizations as living systems and delivers practical leadership frameworks for individuals to learn how to unleash the energy and create innovative, effective teams. -Anne Boneparte, CEO Appthority This book is a must read for organizational leaders who are not only committed to their mission, but equally to creating a workplace that attracts and retains the brightest and the best professionals fully enabled to meet that mission. -Caryl Stern, President & CEO UNICEF USA
