Journeys
Follow Leaf as she leaves her tree, tumbling from adventure to adventure, learning much about friendship, courage, and life. Journeys explores spirit, rebirth, following one’s own path, and finding the beautiful inner being in everyone. Illustrated by seventh graders, this is an interactive, inspiring story for people of all ages.

The History of Open Adoption
Until the 19th century almost all adoptions were handled informally. If a young woman was pregnant and wanted to place her child, she did, with whomever she wanted. Usually it was done with the advice and consent of her parents, and generally, the child was placed with a family member or someone from her local town. There were no agencies, counselors, attorneys, or facilitators. No legal papers were ever filed, the government didn’t get involved, and no one but the birth mother and her parents were ever consulted as to the welfare of the child.

The Gathering of the Winds
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a part of something greater than yourself? Delightfully illustrated, The Gathering of the Winds is the second book in the Journeys series by author Louann Carroll. A must read for any family.

The Listening Rock
3rd book in the Journeys series. When grandparents and grandkids feel far apart, discover what Noah and his grandmother did to solve the problem. A bit of rock and a loving heart!
