Episode 142 Notes and Links to Sadie Shorr-Parks’ Work I loved the characters of Jethro and Nila. This is a must read if you enjoy a very deep and dark romance with intrigue, mystery, but can be gut wrenching and blissful-you will need to read the other five books first. I was heartbroken and sad for one of the characters, but I was also exulted at other times. Will Jethro save Nila? Will Nila be able to sustain and find the strength to survive because of her love for Jethro? Does she have the will, fortitude, and determination to fight back? The Final Debt is heart wrenching and will have you feeling poignant, repugnance, and love. Nila exhibited mental strength to try to overcome whatever the Hawks had in store for her since she thought Jethro was still healing and not available to come to her aid. I had to Google some of the instruments to get an ideal of what was being used to torture Nila-appalling! Nila was taken to Africa by Cut and Daniel to pay the fourth debt, which Jethro was not aware of their departure. The Hawks (Cut, Bonnie, and Daniel) are just atrocious people with a lot of hatred for the Weavers. Now, it is time for Nila to pay the final debt. The relationship between Nila and Jethro is unique and complicated, but their love is undeniable. I was enthralled from the very beginning, and this book is even more intense and has a lot of emotional turmoil that it was hard for me to put down. We finally get all the answers to the secrets between the Hawks and Weavers. Loved it, loved it!! This book is the epic conclusion to a great series by Pepper Winters. All in all, a lovely little book, recommended to anyone looking for a historical, pioneer-oriented Thanksgiving tale. I did wish that more detail had been given, as to the influence that Native American harvest celebrations had, on Euro-American ones, but that is essentially my only criticism. The illustrations, done in soft pencil by Heather Collins, are also very appealing, drawing the reader into the story. The geography is general enough that the story could take place either in Canada, or the northern American mid-west, making this a book with cross-border appeal. This approach works fairly well, resulting in a book that is both engaging and informative. Following the story of the Robertson family, who also appeared in Greenwood's A Pioneer Sampler, the book alternates between very brief chapters which advance the story - Sarah and Lizzie's misadventure in the cranberry bog, young Willy's visit with his Ojibwa friend, Nekeek - and descriptions of how to make whatever food or game is mentioned in that part of the story, from harvest bread to conkers. Part holiday family-story, part craft compendium, Barbara Greenwood's A Pioneer Thanksgiving is a lovely introduction to the idea of harvest festivals, particularly as they would have been celebrated by mid-nineteenth-century North American Pioneers. Meanwhile, Henry has become smitten with Elizabeth’s wild younger sister, Diana, who isn’t sure she can stand by and watch her sister marry the man she knows is meant for her. When her best friend ( and worst enemy) Penelope Hayes discovers Elizabeth is engaged to her crush, she begins to plot her friend’s downfall in order get Henry for herself. But she’s being forced to marry wealthy playboy Henry Schoonmaker for his inheritance because her blue-blooded family is on the brink of financial ruin. Here, you’ll meet good-as-gold girl Elizabeth Holland, a frosty blond with a boiling hot secret—she’s in love with stable boy Will, and has been trysting with him late at night for some less-than-innocent rolls in the hay. Just imagine Lindsey Lohan and Rachel McAdams in rustling silk dresses, batting their eyes at boys in white tails behind feathery fans in tastefully decorated drawing rooms, and you’ve got The Luxe, a Gilded Age Gossip Girl. Mean Girls meets The Age of Innocence in this deliciously decadent debut. porridge, what porridge? They've rowed up the chairs and the beds, heh, heh, heh and now Mama Dinosaur, practically drooling, and definitely twisting her dino hands in anticipation, says, "I sure hope no innocent little succulent child happens by our unlocked home while we else!" Cue the evil laughter. They've set out the three bowls of chocolate pudding. these dinos have definitely read the book and they know the drill. Yes, we're going to have the requisite three bowls, three chairs and three beds but that's where the similarities stop and the sophisticated, sneaky, crafty no-good dinosaurs kick in. Goldilocks and the Three Wall Street Types? Goldilocks and the Three Germans? How about Three Rocket Scientists? And the winner is.the Three Dinosaurs. Looking at the endpapers you'll quickly gather than the author tried many versions of this book. Fractured fairy tales anyone? Okay, this is a hilarious version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears retold with enormous, crafty dinosaurs instead.
