Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Lads & Lassies: Memories, Mischief, and Miracles from Quaker FarmLarge Print EditionStep through the gates of Quaker Farm and enter a world where ordinary days became extraordinary memories.In Lads & Lassies, Anne Casey gathers the stories of a lifetime spent raising a family and caring for an unforgettable collection of animals on a small farm in northern Michigan. These are stories of children growing up, neighbors becoming friends, animals becoming family, unexpected adventures, faith, courage, laughter, loss, and the quiet blessings that somehow appear in the middle of everyday life.There are mischievous pigs, stubborn sheep, memorable horses, rescued animals, beloved cats, and extraordinary Collies whose intelligence, loyalty, and devotion repeatedly remind Anne that animals have much to teach us. There are also stories of motherhood, marriage, friendship, faith, and the surprising turns that can change a family forever.Some moments are hilarious. Others are tender. A few are heartbreaking. Together, they reveal the richness hidden inside an ordinary life.From the birth of the boy the family never expected to the remarkable loyalty of dogs who refused to abandon those they loved; from the challenges of establishing a family home on an old, rundown farm to the friendships and losses that shaped the years that followed, these memories invite readers to slow down and remember their own.This Large Print Edition has been thoughtfully prepared with comfortable, easy-to-read typography, making it especially suitable for readers who prefer larger type without sacrificing the warmth and character of a traditional book.At its heart, Lads & Lassies is a book about remembering.Because lives pass quickly. Children grow. Animals grow old. Farms change. People we love leave us. Yet the stories remain-and sometimes the smallest memories become the ones we treasure most.If you have ever loved a dog who seemed to understand you, laughed at something your children said, mourned an animal who was part of the family, watched grandchildren discover the same places their parents once explored, or looked back on a life and realized how extraordinary the ordinary years really were, you may find something familiar here.Come along to Quaker Farm.There is laughter in the kitchen, muddy boots by the door, animals in the pasture, children underfoot, and a lifetime of stories waiting to be remembered.Life moves quickly. The memories-and the stories-remain. ����
