New Releases by Judy Taylor

Her small town had no idea who she was until she gave herself away. Washed-up punk rocker Carla Peterson went from performing for rowdy drunks in dive bars to living paycheck to paycheck in a tiny town in the Pacific Northwest, serving coffee and homemade pies to people who side-eye her leather stompers and heavy eyeliner. She can barely keep her head above water, let alone afford a bus ticket to anywhere else. In a town where nothing happens, a pod of orcas disrupts all that by becoming trapped in the inlet near the coffee shop. The most Carla has helped any animal is moving a spider out of harm''s way and caring for an elderly lady''s sweet dog. This is way out of her league, but she just can''t let go of it. Carla risks her job-and her life-protecting the whales from unruly tourists swarming in for a closer look. With the orcas running out of time, Carla must find her voice and fight the local authorities who couldn''t care less. She''s used to going it alone, but with the support of the community, she''s finding a strength she didn''t know she had. If she can save the whales, she might also save herself.

A compelling narrative built from personal letters, tracing the life of a young Australian woman as her private world unfolds against depression, distance, war and profound social change.

A mom who never nurtured her. A Heavenly Father guiding her steps. Could she shed her feelings of worthlessness and discover joy? Judy Taylor grew up paralyzed by fear. With an absent father and a mentally unwell mother dominating her childhood, she tried valiantly not to cry over the constant verbal and physical abuse. And after years of being told she was fat, ugly, and unlovable, the young woman clung to her belief in Jesus as she left everything familiar for the terrifying freedom of college. Leaning on her trust in the Lord, Judy blossomed into a vibrant student who befriended everyone on campus. But even as her outward confidence strengthened, she struggled to escape the inner torture and scars from her dysfunctional adolescence. Was there still time to forgive and find her path to healing? Be Still is an inspiring and heart-wrenching memoir. If you like raw honesty, uplifting messages, and seeing people overcome trauma, then you''ll love Judy Taylor''s journey of faith.

The Boy Who Wrote Poetry is an inspirational story of a young man who followed his dream to write. Although he died tragically at the age of eighteen, he left behind a legacy of poetry that is as transcendent and uplifting today as the day he died in 1970. Told through photographs and interviews with his family and friends, this is the story of a prolific artist who didn''t wait to express his voice. Mark said, "This collection of poetry is my own searching for an identity. I write so that I may understand and so others may understand it, too." "I hope that when my last account is due/That I may cleanse the coarseness from my view/May give so pure a gift of life to youth;/And may the child be wise, at least that day/And realize the depth of truth before/The memory forever fades away; and may/He have the wisdom not to ask for more."

''My dear Noel, I don''t know what to write to you so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were - Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.'' So begins Beatrix Potter''s most celebrated letter, in which she tells for the first time the story that was destined to make her name famous all over the world, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. It was written to cheer up a sick little boy when he was ill, and is one of numerous surviving letters written by Beatrix Potter to entertain individual children. Sometimes her letters take the form of a supposed correspondence between different animal characters from the stories, each written in miniature with its own tiny envelope.

Beatrix Potter was a very private person, yet, luckily for us, she was a prolific letter writer. Through her own words to friends, working colleagues and children we can discover the observant, energetic, affectionate and humorous personality she kept hidden from her public. Her life covers a period of immense social change. The restricted existence of a dutiful Victorian daughter, the background against which she first wrote the story of Peter Rabbit, was very different from that of war-time England where she continued to pioneer countryside conservation until her death.

Starting with the publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902, Beatrix Potter went on to become one of the world''s most successful children''s authors. This illustrated biographical eBook takes the reader through the whole of her life, from her Victorian childhood in London to her final years farming in the Lake District. Regarded as a standard work on Beatrix Potter''s life, this work has been updated regularly to include fresh material and previously unpublished photographs that have come to light as interest in Beatrix Potter continues to grow.

''Working with Communities in Health and Human Services'' embeds community participation in well established social science theory about community and participation. It provides both concepts and practical tools for increasing community participation in health and human services programs.

Undeterred by her blindness the author lived a full life; marrying, raising two sons, successfully teaching sighted secondary school children and keeping her independence. Through all this her devoted guide dogs where essential. When an operation restored twenty-five percent of her vision she could see her husband and sons for the first time. She soon found that learning to see again was a challenging process.

The Tale of Peter Rabbitis one of the best-selling, and best-loved, children''s books of all time, and the story of how it came to be published-and what''s happened to the book in the 100 years since publication-is fascinating. Judy Taylor, a leading authority on Potter, tells the story that begins with a small girl''s devotion to her pet rabbit and ends with Beatrix Potter''s bequest of extensive areas of England''s Lake District. In between we see how the book began as a letter to the son of Potter''s governess, look at its initial publication (paid for by Potter) in black-and-white, and follow Peter Rabbit''s rise to the most famous rabbit in the world.
