Over The Rainbow
Alison Sherlock - 2014
She has spent her twenties trying and failing to find her real mother. Trusting no-one with her secret, it has been a lonely search on her own. Her hunt has finally led Elizabeth to Grove village. Getting involved with the local amateur dramatic society was not part of Elizabeth’s plan. But famous theatre director Jack Andrews appears to hold the key to her mystery and if she keeps close to the villagers she might be able to finally meet her real mother. Unfortunately the production of The Wizard of Oz is a mess. Dorothy’s hormones are menopausal, the TinMan is Elizabeth’s badly behaved ex-boyfriend and the Wicked Witch of the West has a huge secret. It’s up to Elizabeth to take control of the musical to ensure it’s a hit for all the right reasons. Maybe some of her new friends will help, if she can learn to trust them. And just maybe, amongst the cast of undertakers, farmers and florists, a true star lies in the wings. But perhaps what Elizabeth seeks isn’t what she really needs? Perhaps it will take a group of strangers to show her the path to true happiness once more. All Elizabeth knows is that she has to find a way to let go of the past in order to look forward to the future. Perhaps all of her answers lie Over The Rainbow.

The Oxford Illustrated Jane Austen: 6-Volume Set
Jane Austen - 1982
Chapman's fine new edition has, among its other merits, the advantage of waking the Jane Austenite up.... The novels continue to live their own wonderful internal life...freshened and enriched by contact with the life of facts. His illustrations are beyond all praise.--E.M. Forster, Abinger Harvest.This beautiful set provides the definitive text of Austen's six great comic masterpieces and her minor works (the latter include three high-spirited efforts written at about age fifteen; a charming fragment, The Watsons, which has been thought to be a sketch for Emma; and a tantalizing fragment, Sanditon, written in the last year of her life). All six volumes feature splendid early 19th-century illustrations as well as Chapman's detailed explanatory notes. Chapman has collated all the editions published in the author's lifetime and previously unpublished manuscripts, establishing an authoritative text that retains the punctuation, the spelling, and division into volumes of the originals. In addition, at the end of each work he supplies notes on textual matters and appendixes on such matters as the modes of address, or characters, or carriages and travel, as these seem warranted by the text. Additional changes have been incorporated by Mary Lascelles.

Vegan Diet For Beginners: Adopting A Vegan Diet For Weight Loss & Good Mental Health! (Vegan For Beginners, Vegan For Dummies Book 1)
Katya Johansson - 2016
Eradicating what makes up the majority of foods used up in the typical American diet can be extremely overwhelming. My first suggestion is transition in steps and don’t do it all at once. Take a slow start.
Even if you’re not involved in the vegan diet this book is a great addition to your collection due to the informative section about desires. Ever have those desires for something crispy, or sweet and salty for some chocolate? Well, these needs are described in detail and suggests a healthy alternative that recognizes the vitamin deficiency and the food that would address that desire.
For instance, have an impulsive desire for chocolate? It means our body might actually be craving magnesium which can be found in seeds, nuts, fruit and Legumes. Are you craving for sweet or sugary foods? Then your body might require carbon, sulfur, phosphorus or chromium. These vitamins are found in fresh fruits and broccoli just to name a few.
