I do not live in the US so have little experience with mass shootings, let alone that act by a child of a lesbian couple. Is this a story that needed telling I think yes absolutely, it was a difficult listen and to know it was based on fact made it even harder. For a relatively short audio book this packed some serious punches, like ripples in a pond we never know what triggers an event nor how in trying to make change for good in the eye's of a child that things can go so seriously wrong. Guns kill people it is that simple the ease of sourcing them just as easy, you just pull a trigger right ! but the damage oh I so feel for anyone caught up in such an event. A many layered story, my heart just bled at the powerful words, the narration was excellent conveying the authors words succinctly.

Hannah Little doesn’t have much use for fancy chefs or fancy restaurants, but that’s exactly what Three Willows Farm needs to survive. When a local restaurant wants to feature her produce, she’s thrilled. But the contract means working with an egotistical and (let’s face it) drop-dead-gorgeous head chef from New York City.

A real farm to table experience

I am admit to being a food addict, ex chef, ex farmer so was very interested in listening to this audio. I related so much to the growing of the food, the slow food movement, designing menu's around that, promoting ones business, food prep, staff issues, seasonal changes in produce, importance of family and that love of both can combine way past the kitchen or paddock. So well narrated by Lori, some of the terms/words used were new to me like the use of dude but then I guess that is pretty similar to close friends here in Oz calling each other mate. I enjoyed the story line it was one of growth, holding dreams close yet being open enough to realise new directions need not be a bad thing.

Princess Natasia is the eldest child of the Emperor Andreth, ruler of the Four Realms. If she was a boy, she’d be the unquestioned heir to the throne. But as a girl, her main duty in life is to marry someone her father can shape into his successor. Everything changes when an unknown, would-be assassin nearly takes Tasia’s life. Someone wants to destabilize the Empire - but who? Unsure of whom he can trust, the Emperor realizes that his daughter might be his best option for an heir.
