The threadbare heart [large print] / by Nash, Jennie,1964-(CARDINAL)367178;
"Love was the one thing Lily always thought she did better than her mother. She beleived that she knew exactly what love took, what it cost and what it meant - and she thought of her long marriage to Tom as proof of it. But in the short period between Christmas of 2007 and the start of fire season, everything she understood about love unraveled. That's when Lily realized how very litle she knew about the way love worked. Would you do it all again, knowing what you know now? her mother asked. Eleanor was 75 years old, about to be married again herself, and hoping that this time she might get it right. In a heartbeat, Lily said - not only because she believed it, but because she knew it was what her mother needed to hear." - Taken from the title page verso.

Alive! : extraordinary stories of ordinary people who survived deadly tornadoes, avalanches, shipwrecks and more / by Reader's Digest Association.(CARDINAL)145600;
Includes bibliographical references."Alive! is a heart-stopping collection of survival stories from the archives of Reader's Digest's 'Drama in Real Life' series. Readers will be on the edge of their seats as they are drawn into the dramatic tales of everyday people suddenly cast into life or death situations. Editors have mined the Reader's Digest archives to bring readers Alive! Extraordinary Stories of Ordinary People Who Survived Deadly Tornadoes, Avalanches, Shipwrecks and More. In "Super Storm," Rick Gregory, an off-duty patrolman watches an F3 tornado ravage his small Tennessee town where split-second decisions make the difference between life and death. In "Avalanche!" Luke Edgar, a young father and backcountry snowboarder goes out with a buddy for a fun day on Mt. Rainier and gets buried alive in an avalanche. "Swarm," tells the story of the Walker family, out for a day trip in the Florida marsh when they get entangled in a yellow-jacket nest. The mother, Debbie, fighting anaphylactic shock must leave her injured husband and children in order to find help as time runs out. Adventure writer Tim Cahill recounts how he barely survives the extreme heat of Death Valley despite his experience as an outdoorsman in "Across the Valley of Fire"; and in "Pacific Cyclone," Tony Farrington tells the harrowing story of the crews of three sailboats who run into an unimaginable storm in the normally calm South Pacific. Whether out on a planned adventure or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, the heroes of these stories are connected by their fierce desire to survive against all odds. Wildfires, blizzards, attacks by grizzlies, jet crashes in the jungle, are just some of the conditions people face in these stories of survival. Readers will be on the edge of their seats as they follow adventurers and laymen alike as they face down nature's fury in the most extreme circumstances, and find strength they didn't know they had, proving the depth and resilience of the human spirit. As Tim Cahill so elegantly puts it, "Then I knew, really knew, that there is a way to get from one extreme to the other, the peaks and valleys. And there is a beauty so fierce only savage emotions like fear and triumph allow us to see it.""--Provided by publisher."Alive! is a heart-stopping collection of survival stories from the archives of Reader's Digest's 'Drama in Real Life' series"--Provided by publisher.

Performed by Dan John Miller.Hurricane Ophelia is bearing down on New York City. And in a matter of hours, six people, along with their families, friends, and millions of other New Yorkers living around them, will be caught up in the horrific flooding it unleashes. Ellen Wharton has flown into New York from London, regardless of the weather and her husband's worry. The successful interior designer is intent on seeing her lively architect mother and has an important personal appointment to keep. But despite Ellen's urging, when the storm hits, seventy-four-year-old Grace Madison refuses to leave her Tribeca apartment in the midst of the evacuation zone, and they must eventually wade through chest-high water to the police boats outside. British investment banker Charles Williams is traveling on business but is also eager to see his young daughters, who live with his beautiful, estranged ex-wife in SoHo. Desperate to find them, he checks the shelters where thousands have taken refuge and runs into Ellen and her mother. Juliette Dubois, a dedicated ER doctor, fights to save lives when the generators at her hospital fail. NYU students Peter Holbrook and Ben Weiss, living in a shabby downtown walkup, are excited by the adventure of the approaching hurricane, refuse to evacuate, and settle in with junk food and beer until their building threatens to collapse. Should they swim for it or not? A day of chaos takes its toll. Lives, belongings, and loved ones are swept away. Heroes are revealed as the city and New Yorkers struggle to face a natural disaster of epic proportions. And then the real challenge begins, as the survivors face their futures, with damage to repair and scars to heal.Issued on Playaway, a dedicated audio media player.
