This book was released on 2023-08-29. The Old Place available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A bighearted and moving debut about a wry retired schoolteacher whose decade-old secret threatens to come to light and send shockwaves through her small Texas town. Billington, Texas, is a place where nothing changes. Well, almost nothing. For the first time in nearly four decades, Mary Alice Roth is not getting ready for the first day of school at Billington High. A few months into her retirement—or, district mandated exile as she calls it—Mary Alice does not know how to fill her days. The annual picnic is coming up, but that isn’t nearly enough since the menu never changes and she had the roles mentally assigned weeks ago. At least there’s Ellie, who stops by each morning for coffee and whose reemergence in Mary Alice’s life is the one thing soothing the sting of retirement. Mary Alice and Ellie were a pair since the day Ellie moved in next door. That they both were single mothers—Mary Alice widowed, Ellie divorced—with sons the same age was a pleasant coincidence, but they were forever linked when they lost the boys, one right after the other. Years later, the two are working their way back to a comfortable friendship. But when Mary Alice’s sister arrives on her doorstep with a staggering piece of news, it jeopardizes the careful shell she’s built around her life. The whole of her friendship with Ellie is put at risk, the fabric of a place as steadfast as Billington is questioned, and the unflappable, knotty fixture that is Mary Alice Roth might have to change after all.

Download and read online ebook Ellie's Elephants write by Ellie Barnard. This book was released on 2019-05-20. Ellie's Elephants available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Elephant lover Ellie has had a love of elephants since birth. She naturally gravitated to anything and everything regarding elephants. She has a room full of elephant toys, always receives elephant knick knacks as gifts, and she reads as much as she can about elephants. She even dreams of being a large animal vet, with a specialty of treating elephants. As part of her love, she has traveled to Sri Lanka, Thailand and Nepal to see her beloved elephants up close and personal. What she learned through experience, was a sad realization of how poorly treated elephants are, and how the tourism industry, one she herself was once a part of, is causing sad situations for this beloved creature. However, what she also found, were dedicated organizations committed to making a difference. This book came to be out of one little girl's pure love for elephants, her own encounters around the world, and her desire to raise funds to support organizations looking to provide better solutions.
