02.21.10: Jon Turk - The Raven's Gift

Sun, 02/21/2010 - 3:00pm
Jon Turk has kayaked around Cape Horn and paddled across the Pacific Ocean to retrace the voyages of ancient people.  But, the strangest trip he ever took was the journey he made as a man of science into the realm of the spiritual.  In a remote Siberian village, Turk met an elderly Koryak shaman named Moolynaut, who mended his fractured pelvis.  Finding no rational explanation, Turk sought understanding in the frozen tundra.  Framed by high adventure across the vast and forbidding Siberian landscape, The Raven's Gift creates a vision of natural and spiritual realms interwoven with one man's awakening.

By Jeannette Walls
$26.00

This is a marvelous tribute to Jeannette Walls' unforgettable grandmother, Lily Casey Smith. Written as a true-life novel, Lily was born in West Texas in 1901 and lived a tough, rough life with her own brand of grace. She didn't like nonsense, prejudice, or whining but she had a great sense of humor along with her practical, hardworking nature. This is a stunning account of the times and most especially the indomitable Lily - a woman you won't soon forget. This is a book you won't want to miss!
