An Hour In The Cougar S Grace

Describes the life cycle, habits, and endangered status of the animal known as the cougar, mountain lion, puma, or panther.

Winner of a 2011 Independent Publisher Book Award Silver Medal Sometimes it’s the little things in life that make all the difference, like chromosomes, sperm, bugs or an endangered seabird that nests in old-growth forests. But, what’s big or what’s little depends entirely on your perspective. Faye Pearson is a three-and-a-half-foot tall female scientist doing entomological research in the tallest trees on Vancouver Island, who is pit with a ragtag group of protesters against the might of a multinational logging corporation. The story of Faye and her struggle to function in a world not made for people her size is poignant and heart-warming. Whether she is lusting after her climbing partner, standing up to a conflicted logging boss, dressing down an insulting interviewee, nurturing a wayward child in the midst of an environmental standoff, or being carted off under the arm of a Mountie, you’ll be unable to resist this amazing woman. There is a fall in Eriksson’s novel, but also incredible moments of grace. Falling from Grace is a novel of no small achievement.

Sarah Lynn takes Kelly for a plane ride over the ranch and they have a harrowing experience. "Sarah Lynn, did you know your right motor is smoking? Kelly asked somewhat anxious. Sarah Lynn looked out the window and saw the black smoke pouring out of the starboard engine. We'd better head back and I'm going to have to feather that engine. Suddenly the starboard engine burst into flames. Sarah Lynn, we're on fire! Kelly screamed in shear horror. We're going to crash! and Kelly started to cry.
