Unscripted
Claire Handscombe (also known as Claire Lyman) wrote this family book
Nobody is a bigger fan of actor Thomas Cassidy than Libby. Nobody. That’s why she’s totally going to marry him.
She’s going to write a novel, name the main character after Thom, and find a way to get it to him. Intrigued and flattered, he will read it, fall in love with her prose, and ask to turn it into a movie. She will pretend to think about it, then say: sure, but can I work on it with you? Their eyes will meet over the script… and fade to black.
But with four interwoven lives at play, can anything be that simple?
Thoughtful, quirky, and moving, Unscripted is a story of friendship and second chances, and asks the question: how far can you take your dream?
It’s a book about dreams… and our steadfast pursuit of them, at any age, even when the rest of the world tells us to give up.

FAMILY FORAGING
by David Hamilton
Accessible family book guide to foraging thirty plants, with recipes.
Many naturalists built their careers on a curiosity from early childhood. However, in this digital age our children can become isolated from both the natural world and the people around them. Foraging for wild food helps refocus, and a day gathering edible plants, picked in the wild, can be a great way to reconnect with family and nature.
