In her late thirties, Le Anne Schreiber left her position as Deputy Editor of the New York Times Book Review for a new and vastly different life in rural upstate New York. She wanted peace, the time to write and fish, and a chance to build into her life a different pace, different values. And then she learned that her mother had pancreatic cancer. This brilliant memoir bears witness, unflinchingly, to the wrenching details of her mother''s illness and death and her own new beginnings. She brings to her observations of nature and her mother''s death, precision, wonder, tenderness, speculation, and occasional outrage. Midstream is a compelling autobiography - deeply felt and unforgettable. (51/2 X 81/4, 320 pages, b & w photos)

Large Size paperback edition for easier reading!Assaulted by corrupt magic, Hallen Oaks is crumbling. Shawna, a military commander and high level sorceress, goes to defend the blighted region against enemy forces led by Jendell. Shawna has fought numerous battles, many involving magic, but Jendell somehow manages to penetrate her mind, using this to influence her decisions and in attempts to twist her potent sorcery to a force of destruction. Short-tempered since childhood, Shawna easily developed a warrior''s emotional restraint and has little experience with the softer emotions. However, she soon realizes that Jendell''s aggression resonates uniquely with her assertive nature, allowing him to manipulate both her magic and mind. The only way to resist Jendell is to abandon her emotional shields -- creating a different form of peril for herself and Hallen Oaks. Commanding battles, struggling with unfamiliar emotions, and fending off personal attacks require fortitude, confidence, and aggression... ...the same strengths that can cause Shawna to betray the realm she is sworn to protect.
