In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.

Quiara Alegría Hudes was the sharp-eyed girl on the stairs while her family danced their defiance in a tight North Philly kitchen. She was awed by her mother and aunts and cousins, but haunted by the unspoken, untold stories of the barrio — even as she tried to find her own voice in the sea of language around her, written and spoken, English and Spanish, bodies and books, Western art and sacred altars.

A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. For years, the group has struggled to break even. To occupy the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine also has an interest in the place.

Casey Wilson has a lot on her mind and she isn’t afraid to share. In this dazzling collection, each essay skillfully constructed and brimming with emotion, she shares her thoughts on the joys and vagaries of modern-day womanhood and motherhood, introduces the not-quite-typical family that made her who she is, and persuasively argues that lowbrow pop culture is the perfect lens through which to examine human nature.

Resumen del Editor
Winner, 2022 Nancy Pearl Award for Memoir
The 2022 University Presses Book & Cover Design Awards
At age 40, Parker surrendered to her Swept Away meets Swiss Family Robinson fantasy of owning an inn in Latin America, far from her home in the Pacific Northwest. For the next 20-plus years Parker ran La Finca Caribe, an eco-lodge in Vieques, Puerto Rico. What started as a “half-baked duct-taped dream” grew into an acclaimed, rustic inn, frequented by guests from around the world. Sketchbook in hand, Parker chronicled her daily adventures in getting to know the land, culture and herself.
La Finca is a lively memoir about a woman creating a new life amid countless challenges, including hurricanes that led her to reconsider everything. It is a story about trusting oneself, self-discovery, accepting disappointment and loss, and falling in love with a place.

Home is the place to heal, right? That's what Dillon Michaels is hoping, at least, as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon's old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift - her grandfather's run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the hardware store.

She was left alone with a new house that needed lots of work, a new baby who needed lots of attention, and a new job in the high-pressure world of New York publishing. Morrison had never been one to believe in fairy tales. As far as she was concerned, happy endings were the product of the kind of ambition and hard work that had propelled her to the top of her profession.

Historia
Growing up in rural Oregon, Brandon Wolf grappled with the devastating loss of his supportive mother and with the embedded racism and homophobia of a community that made him feel like an unwelcome stranger. After the lack of connection and role models led him down a spiral of risky behavior, Wolf escaped to survive. In Orlando, he found what he’d been searching for: belonging—in a community that was a safe space with people he’d come to call his chosen family.

Historia
In the back room at an elite gallery party, 40-something soccer mom Johanna Porter stands face to face with her younger self. The girl in the portrait, La Rosa Blanca, is fierce and fearless, and Johanna sees the great painter she almost was before her lover, the powerful artist Nestor Pinedo, torched her career. When she cuts the million-dollar masterpiece out of its frame, rolls it up and walks out, it’s not a theft. It’s a rescue.

But times of war demand courage, and as the threat of German invasion looms, a plane crash near her home awakens a strength in Alice she’d long forgotten.

We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people. In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families.

The expedition’s visionary leader was a flamboyant impresario named Vilhjalmur Stefansson hungry for fame. Just six weeks after the Karluk departed, giant ice floes closed in around her. As the ship became icebound, Stefansson disembarked with five companions and struck out on what he claimed was a 10-day caribou hunting trip. Most on board would never see him again.

Wonderful!
La Finca is a true story of love, loss, determination and the reward of following one’s dream no matter what obstacles are thrown in your way. For anyone who dares to dream, there is reward at the end. I have the pleasure of knowing the author a little bit, better now after hearing her voice read me her incredible story. Most of us would have given up on our dream after the first setback but not she. The author lays it all out there for us to imagine, the good, the bad and the ugly. The raw emotion, I couldn’t put it down or rather stop listening. We should all dare to dream. Bravo Corky!

Storytelling at its best!
Wild, wacky, wonderful and well written. Simply a tale which needed to be told. May it encourage your own wild visions and dreams to manifest. I was so curious I even purchased a copy of the book. Corky’s art work was another trip
altogether. Lastly, an added charm was listening to the author’s authentic voice, She read as though reliving her dream like life. Deep bows to Corky Parker.

What a fun book!!!!
I feel fortunate to have picked this book for entertainment during a long road trip. Ms Parker is a great storyteller and a passionate, fearless adventuress whose reading of her own book is smooth and natural. You can feel her connection to her extraordinary personal tale with La Finca; her pain, joy, frustration and unbelievable optimism as she manages each challenge, shock and surprise that comes her way. Every moment presents yet another opportunity to grow and learn and persist during this amazing once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The how and why anyone would do this for 20 years is a logical question most would ask. But in the end one does understand, and I for one am very glad to have been a spectator on the sidelines watching and hearing Corky in the arena with her compelling display of courage and tenacity and her creative use of language and metaphors.

Such a neat true story
Loved the story, especially because it was a true story that actually happened to the author. I could also relate to her non-traditional upbringing and having that dream to live in the tropics. Love and Loss. Since the hurricanes I have been going to PR and volunteering to rebuild homes damaged by the hurricanes. This last time to PR in February 2023, we took a side trip to Vieques Island and I absolutely fell in love with the Island and its people. on the one day that we had a rental car we accidentally drove by LA Finca, which I had never heard of before. After returning to New Mexico, I heard about this book. I couldn't wait to order it, so listened to it on Audible. Throughly enjoyed it and now I need another one and updates on what is now going on with LA Finca and the Author and her family's new lives.

A rich and compelling story
Corky Parker is a terrific storyteller - both writer and narrator. This life story revolves around a unique and romantic property/home/ecolodge on a tiny island in the Caribbean. The story pulls you in right away and you feel you are part of the action. Not only is it a great story but Parker’s style makes you reflect on your own life, dreams, and losses. I came away feeling better about myself - a literary coup! Highly recommended!

“Maybe La Finca is the velveteen rabbit of guest houses”
Listening to author Corky’s telling of this intensely personal story brings it to life even more than the reading of the book with all of its charmingly quirky illustrations. Her commitment to the stewardship of our planet, her desire to share that with others and her bravery and sense of adventure are an inspiration. Great storytelling! I’ve listened to it 3 times and each time I feel like I know her just a little bit better!
My favorite line above says it all!

An introspective take on an adventurous life
Corky Parker’s free-spirited, environmentalist, self-sufficient values are apparent when listening to this memoir. I so admire her deep connection to place and resonate with love of the land. I also appreciate that this memoir was read by the author herself. It added warmth and authenticity inherent to the narrative.
