In the true spirit of Irish storytelling, Leigh Ebberwein weaves an uplifting and powerful tale of the cross-generational impact of reckless choices, the redeeming power of love, and the unbreakable bond of family. Smart and sassy Kathleen Kenny has never ventured far from the protective cocoon of her large, close-knit family and her crazy "tribe" of forever girlfriends. When rich and hunky Jack Murray, an ex-football hero and successful lawyer, pops the question, her perfect (and safe) life in Savannah seems assured. Voices from the past are changing the course of Kathleen's future. But Kathleen's secret inner life beckons her to Ireland to search for answers to her puzzling dreams. Only weeks before the big day, Kathleen announces her plans for a six-week trip to Knock, County Mayo. A confused and furious Jack issues an ultimatum. Is the wedding off? Ireland steals her heart. Kathleen rents a small cottage from the McMillion family and is soon grafted into "small-town" Ireland culture. Handsome Quinn McMillon has recently inherited his father's farm but isn't quite ready to settle down. In denial of the sparks sizzling between them, Kathleen and Quinn fan the sparks by embarking on a three-week European adventure. Decades later, this trip will dramatically impact two families, an ocean apart, and the townsfolk of Knock in unimaginable ways. Become part of the adventure. Experience the beauty of Savannah, the charm of Ireland, and the shenanigans of a host of unforgettable characters with a feel-good story that's full of surprises until the very last page.

For most people, the thought of dying or caring for a terminally ill friend or family member raises fears and questions as old as humanity: What is a “good death”? What appropriate preparations should be made? How do we best support our loved ones as life draws to its close? In this nondenominational handbook, Richard F. Groves and Henriette Anne Klauser provide comfort, direction, and hope to the dying and their caregivers through nine archetypal stories that illustrate the most common end-of-life concerns. Drawing from personal experiences, the authors offer invaluable guidance on easing emotional pain and navigating this difficult final passage. With a compelling new preface, this edition also features an overview of the hospice movement; a survey of Celtic, Tibetan, Egyptian, and other historic perspectives on the sacred art of dying; as well as various therapies, techniques, and rituals to alleviate suffering, stimulate reflection, and strengthen interpersonal bonds. The American Book of Living and Dying gives us courage to trust our deepest instincts, and reminds us that by telling the stories of those who have passed, we remember, honor, and continue to learn from them.

The following content is a compilation of sayings from both the Irish and the Scottish, which are often no longer heard in descendant families outside of the native lands, but should be. It applies to anyone, but that closeness bears down on those of Celtic descent when Gaelic is spoken, and rings echoes of our dearly departed parents and grandparents, who many of us long to hear argue, demand and insist that we do it the "correct way" in that Scots-Irish tone and fashion. Their voices are now silent, but their memories live on for their descendants to preserve through the traditions, recollections, and customs of both Tara and the Western Highlands.

The Wind Band Music of Henry Cowell studies the compositions for wind band by twentieth-century composer Henry Cowell, a significant and prolific figure in American fine art music from 1914-1965. The composer is noteworthy and controversial because of his radical early works, his interest in non-Western musics, and his retrogressive mature style—along with notoriety for his imprisonment in San Quentin on a morals charge. Eleven chapters are organized both topically and chronologically. An introduction, conclusion, series of eight appendices, bibliography, and discography complete this comprehensive study, along with an audio playlist of representative works, hosted on the CMS website.
