Written by an experienced oncology nurse for cancer patients, families, and caregivers, The Valley Where the Grass Grows Green abounds with hope and encouragement while containing a wealth of practical medical information. The text is presented in two distinct but related parts; both sections are invaluable and can stand alone. Part I is a motivational, uplifting view of the human aspect of cancer, stressing the intrinsic worth of people in every phase of their lives. Its spiritual profundity is enriching for all cultures and philosophies. Part II gives a comprehensible overview of cancer, then walks the reader through the chemotherapy experience. Medical terms and concepts are explained, and indepth suggestions for preventing or coping with side effect are presented. This book is a must for the cancer community and is highly recommended for nursing and medical students, hospice families, support groups, seasoned health professionals, and introspective readers. In addition to the obvious benefits derived from the specialized health information in The Valley Where the Grass Grows Green, the book's joyful message of hope and purpose can contribute to the healing process. Science and healthcare professionals are increasingly recognizing the therapeutic value of spirituality as an adjunct to medicine in physical ailments. Replete with imagery and in an almost poetic style, the optimism that is imparted throughout this book is made credible by its realistic and informative approach. The book is designed to be short, with very short chapters, so as to appeal more readily to a wide audience in varying health circumstances, and it can be read repeatedly with new delight and insights each me. It is a perfect gift for anyone, whether touched by cancer or not. It is even a perfect gift to give yourself for a transforming, edifying, and expanding experience, a source of health information, spiritual enrichment, or simple enjoyment.

This book of poetry by West Viginia native and author Philip Jarrett transcends the nostalgia that often blurs the harsh realities of his home state. His deft use of rhythm and rhyme serves as a reminder of what was lost when free verse became the only acceptible mode of presentation. Ignoring the limitations inherent in the label of 'primitive art' he brings a sophistication to forgotten forms that must be read to be appreciated. He is in his late fifties and his subject matter is adult. These poems are not intended for children, bearing in mind that maturity is seldom related to chronological age. Though he recognizes some may be offended by a few of his poems, his intent is not to offend but to illuminate. He bears no ill will to those he offends, but rather encourages them to turn off the light and go back to sleep.

Studying as an art student in a nameless town, the protagonist narrates snippets of their life. All while remaining nameless themselves, they record the alienation, loneliness, and depression that often come with being alive and how, eventually, they learn to live with it. Throughout the novel, the narration paints a picture of the consistent struggle that is life itself, and of the beautiful moments in between.
