No Ordinary Barn Cats


Book Description

After suffering an unimaginable loss, a beautiful calico cat searches for a new home as she struggles to leave her painful memories behind. In a new location—a dilapidated barn at the edge of a prairie village—she finds shelter and an unexpected friendship with a petite, grey-haired human. Left homeless after his human could no longer care for him, a lonely grey housecat seeks sanctuary in the barn during a bitter autumn storm. The next morning, he is asked a question that will change the course of his life: “Are you planning to stay?” So begin the adventures of Fluff and Clarence and the successive generations of kittens that join them in learning about the wonders—and dangers—of barn life, the importance of finding home and family, and the joy that can be found again after loss. The prequel to No Ordinary Cats and based on the real cats from the author’s childhood, No Ordinary Barn Cats is a humorous, touching, and genuine tale of rural prairie life, the lives of these special animals, and the undeniable impact they have on us—and each other.




The Unicorn in the Barn


Book Description

For years people have claimed to see a mysterious white deer in the woods around Chinaberry Creek. It always gets away. One evening, Eric Harper thinks he spots it. But a deer doesn’t have a coat that shimmers like a pearl. And a deer certainly isn’t born with an ivory horn curling from its forehead. When Eric discovers the unicorn is hurt and being taken care of by the vet next door and her daughter, Allegra, his life is transformed. A tender tale of love, loss, and the connections we make, The Unicorn in the Barn shows us that sometimes ordinary life takes extraordinary turns.




Barney the Barncat


Book Description

Barney is a yellow tabby cat that lives on a farm. He is a bit mean and definitely temperamental. He spends most of his time in the safety of the barn, especially the loft. There, his hated enemy can’t reach him—that no-good, dirty varmint Sampson. But Sampson, the Australian shepherd farm dog, finds his opportunities. The hyperactive dog gets on every nerve that the poor tabby has and loves every second of it. Sampson is never happier than when he has outwitted Barney. In this story, Barney lets down his guard when his hungry stomach distracts his common sense, and he forgets. He forgets about the thorn in his side, the bur under his saddle, the gnat in his face...he forgets about Sampson. Read about the crazy antics of these two farm animals and the poor farmer, Jim, who gets caught in the middle in this story of Barney the Barn Cat.
