    After getting into trouble with the Witching Police, she's sent back to her sleepy home village of Bone Bridge, on magical probation for thirty days. Banned from using magic and under the watchful eye of her younger sister, Ari is all set for a quiet month. That's when a body is found at the village fair. The sleepy little village of Bone Bridge hasn't seen a murder in 200 years, and now a body has been found in the most unusual way. Ari and her sister can't help but find themselves swept up into a murder investigation, and try as she might, Ari starts to realize that there's no avoiding trouble, even if she wants to. Solving the murder is one thing, but Ari’s convinced that there are other mysteries afoot as well. She suspects she’s being framed for the ‘trouble’ that landed her back home in the first place, but everyone else thinks she’s stark raving mad.

Dr. Bob and the Good Old Timers


Ed Nyland - 2015
    Its essence is sharing. Therefore, Bill W. and Dr. Bob are always referred to within the Fellowship as the co-founders. So far, among the majority of A.A. members, the Ohio surgeon has been less well known than his partner. He died in 1950, when A.A. was only 15 years old. But his influence on the whole A.A. program is permanent and profound. This book gives a portrait of Dr. Bob as full-sale and balanced as possible—for the most part, in the words of those who knew him personally. The young man who grew up in Vermont became a hard-drinking college boy, then a medical student fighting the onset of his own alcoholism, a respected physician, a loving but increasingly unreliable family man, and at last a desperately ill drunk. He was without hope until he met a stockbroker from New York—Bill W., who urgently needed a fellow alcoholic to help him maintain his own sobriety. His story then becomes inextricably entwined with that of Alcoholics Anonymous: from a fledgling Fellowship to a powerful spiritual movement with a worldwide reach. Dr. Bob’s story remains instructional and inspiring to those who read it today.
