Ms. Allan writes from experience and so do I. At the core of the author's suggestions is the concept that food sensitivities may perpetuating your pain. I have help myself and guided many others by discovering the link ...             Canoeing with the Cree22 reviews ERIC SEVAREID Borealis Books, 2005 A simple, inspiring adventure My, how the world changes in 80 years! This is not a book with the profundity that Sevareid was later noted for. It is a straight off account of two boys setting out on an adventure more dangerous than they realized which could easily have cost them their lives. Fool-hardy, yes. But, how remarkable that they succeeded. The book gives insight to how primitive Northern Canada and the world was ...             Under a Prairie Moon26 reviews, 1998 Love and Passion as pure as gold! The first third of the story is about Kathy meeting the ghost of Latoka half- breed, Dalton Crowkiller. This is easily one of the most heart- churning and innocent stories of building romance I've ever read. They can see one another, they can talk to one another, he can even hold her and kiss her for a moment. But his spiritual energy becomes weak, causing him to fade away if he spends the ...             These Happy Golden Years (Little House on the Prairie)56 reviews Laura Ingalls Wilder Scholastic, 1971 Laura's older, but still fun for kids In "Golden Years" Laura is a teenager and beginning to live a more adult life- taking her first teaching job and marrying at the very end of the book. My six- and nine-year-olds still enjoyed it, however. There's still lots of play, fun anecdotes, and interesting facts about the time.             The Great Fuzz Frenzy17 reviews Janet Stevens, Susan Stevens Crummel Harcourt Children's Books, 2005 much ado about nothing This story was hilarious. I began reading it to my second graders and they didn't want to leave when the bell rang. They wanted to stay for the finish. The curiosity of the prairie dogs was believable and as always, Janet Stevens' illustrations were wonderful. It was very creative to see the ways the little guys could use the "fuzz". Loved it.             Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie (Dear America)167 reviews Kristiana Gregory, 1197 Early Americans Faced Many Perils! I purchased this book for my middle school daughter. Boy did it show how hard life was for early Americans traveling across the Oregon Trail. This book is a great way to show today's kids how easy they really have it!             PrairyErth (A Deep Map): An Epic History of the Tallgrass Prairie Country36 reviews William Least Heat-Moon Mariner Books, 1999 A Great Walk Like many I bought this book based on WLHM's book Blue Highways. I have absolutely no interest in the history of Kansas or the midwest for that matter. Regardless, I found in Prairyerth a book with rich detail that saunters along through the recent, and sometimes ancient, history of one Kansas county. While reading Prairyerth, I looked forward to escaping into Chase County each evening; ...             The Tender Years (Prairie Legacy Series #1)17 reviews Janette Oke Blackstone Audiobooks, 2001 Janet Oke's Reader So far, I like every books I have read that was written by Janet Oke.             Walks the Fire (Prairie Winds Series #1)22 reviews Stephanie Grace Whitson Thomas Nelson, 1994 A Classic!! I discovered this book at a used booksale, and since I love stories about the west and Indians, I bought it. And once I started to read it, I couldn't put it down! I even thought of the characters during the day until I could get back to the book! I could even picture them-he was very handsome!! I also read Part 2 of the series, and just now I'm going to start reading the 3rd Part Red Bird! ...             The Little House Collection: Little House in the Big Woods/Little House on the Prairie/Farmer Boy/on Thebanks ...35 reviews Laura Ingalls Wilder HarperCollins Children's Books, 2003 The Little House Collection Purchased as a gift for a friend, item received as described, fast delivery, will purchase from vendor again Thank you M Haynes             Leopold's Maneuvers (Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry)11 reviews Cortney Davis University of Nebraska Press, 2004 This book is a winner! "Leopold's Maneuvers" is a book of grace, delicacy, and unflinching toughness. The title of the book is the name of a manual examination used to determine the way an unborn baby is lying in the womb. Or, as the poet says, "the direction this child will take emerging into light." The poet is a nurse practitioner. She brings to the poems her ability to look at things as they are, to name them, and ...             Caught In The Path, A Tornado's Fury, A Community's Rebirth14 reviews Carolynglenn Brewer Prairie Fugue Books, 1997 A roaring success! I came across this book on a visit to St. Louis and grabbed it. It may just be the best book ever written about a tornado--it's riveting start to finish and the spotlight is on people and their lives. It's a great movie in print with a terrific plot, memorable characters and a lot of heroism mixed in.             A Quiet Strength (A Prairie Legacy, Book 3)13 reviews Janette Oke Bethany House Publishers, 2008 WOW! I loved the first two books, but this one is the best yet! Virgina has now grown up. At first I was sad that her teen-years adventures were over, but reading about her as an adult has been thrilling. So many things, including an abused child, her own children, a husband, struggles, and her grandmother, happen to her. Through the whole thing she realizes that her relationship with Christ is not ...             Prairie Springs9 reviews L. R. Williamson BookSurge Publishing, 2007 Passing Judgment Williamson, L.R. "Prairie Springs", Book Surge, 2007. Passing Judgment Amos Lassen Lance Williamson has developed some unforgettable characters in his novel "Prairie Springs". They seem so real that I actually felt that if I looked up from the pages of the book I might see one of them sitting in my study. We know from our own experience that no matter where someone lives, there are ...             Like Gold Refined (A Prairie Legacy, Book 4)14 reviews Janette Oke Bethany House, 2008 Full circle I fell in love with Clark and Marty in the traggic but sweet Love Comes Softly movie, so I had to order the series, eight books in all. The plot thickened with each child born to Marty and Clark. I connected with Marty the wife, Marty the mother, and Marty the grandmother. Then when Belinda [Marty's baby girl] gave her inheritance away and went back home without one thing to assist her aging ...             Prairie Perpendicular11 reviews Marston Moore Beaver's Pond Press, 2006 Prairie Perpendicular PRAIRIE PERPENDICULAR by Marston Moore is a superb read! I began reading the tale sometime during the immense heat of July's summer. The opening pages immediately cooled me off, literally, with a description of a Dakota blizzard. The author has his way of consistently putting you "in the story" and into the minds and hearts of its characters. I grew up in similar circumstances - the Minnesota ...             If You're Not from the Prairie12 reviews David Bouchard Raincoast Books, 2002 Great book to relish a life growing up in the rural Midwest For those who are older (plus 60) and those younger folks (like my children) who have grown up with many of these scenes and places similar to those in the book, David Bouchard's story is a wonderful, evocative memory trip back to a more tranquil time in our lives. I thoroughly recommend it for anyone who wants to recall or use as a pathway to discussing those times.             Prairie Rose9 reviews Catherine Palmer Thorndike Press, 2002 Great Christian romance Rosenbloom Cotton Mills is ana unusual name for an unusual girl. Brought up in an orphange, Rosie is no stranger to hardship. But when she impulsively leaves the orphange for the Kansas praire, she takes on more hardship than she originally anticipated, including a dour widower, his young son who has never gotten to know his father, and a homestead desperately in need of a woman's touch. ...             Lullaby Berceuse: A Warm Prairie Night15 reviews Connie Kaldor Secret Mountain, 2006 Delightful. Lullabies being sung how they _should_ be sung! That is, mellow and soothing, as opposed to high and sharp! Just compare the quite low tone of Connie Kalder's voice on this collection with the high, shrill sharpness of Susie Tallman's voice and the difference is marked. So much more relaxing and effective to hear lullabies sung with a soothing lower voice than to be jolted wide awake by a sudden sharp, high-pitched jarring effect as ...             Haunted Illinois: Ghosts and Strange Phenomena of the Prairie State (Haunted Series)14 reviews Troy Taylor Stackpole Books, 2008 Wonderful Book! I've read a lot of these true haunted and ghost story books, and this is one of the very best. It's not only a collection of documented ghost sightings and legends, but it also acts as a social history of Illinois. In fact, you can learn much about Illinois' history from reading this book. The author is a great researcher and a good writer. I can't imagine someone not liking this book.
