( A gruff yet godly man, Padre Pio (1887-1968) was a heal...)
A gruff yet godly man, Padre Pio (1887-1968) was a healer and mystic. He aspired to great holiness, both for himself and for the many people who came to him for spiritual direction. For the final 50 years of his life, Padre Pio silently endured the physical pain of his stigmata. Padre Pio was graced with amazing gifts that enabled him to carry out his ministry until the day he died. Over 100,000 of Padre Pio's "spiritual children" attended his funeral, and in May 1999 Padre Pio was beatified by Pope John Paul II. Meet Padre Pio will bring you face-to-face with one of the most beloved yet mysterious Catholic personalities of the twentieth century. A Servant Book.

(A young boy tries to find his voice with the help of some...)
A young boy tries to find his voice with the help of some four-legged friends in this “elegantly spare novel about the healing power of dogs and love” (Publishers Weekly), from the Newbery-winning author of Sarah, Plain and Tall. Zoe’s family rescues dogs in need. There is always the sweet smell of dog and a warm body looking to cuddle or play. There is always a new dog to be saved, and loved. Fur flies everywhere. It covers everything. Zoe’s house is never silent. The house across the street is always silent these days. A new family has moved in and Phillip, the boy, has stopped speaking. He doesn’t even want to try. Saving dogs and saving boys may be different jobs, but Zoe learns that some parts are the same. Both take attention and care. They take understanding and time. And maybe just a bit of white fur flying. From Newbery Medalist Patricia MacLachlan, White Fur Flying is an endearing tale of companionship and hope that is “beautifully told, quietly moving, and completely satisfying” (Kirkus Reviews).

NEAL, Patricia was born on January 20, 1926 in Packard, Kentucky, United States of America. Daughter of William Burdette Neal and Eura Mildred Petrey.
Student, Northwestern University, 1945. Doctor of Humane Letters (honorary), Simmons College, Rockford College, University Massachusetts, Northwestern University.
She was a model before working in summer stock and making her Broadway debut in 1946 in The Voice of the Turile. Her film debut was in John Loves Mary (49, David Butler) and she was outstanding in King Vidors The Fountainhead (49), entering without hesitation into that unique film’s study of elemental creative power and being effectively wooed by Gary Cooper and a pneumatic drill.
But in the next few years she failed to establish herself as a major screen actress, perhaps by choice: The Hasty Heart (49, Vincent Sherman); Bright Leaf (50, Michael Curtiz); Three Secrets (50, Robert Wise); The Breaking Point (50, Curtiz); The Day the Eaiih Stood Still (51, Wise); Weekend with Father (51, Douglas Sirk); Operation Pacific (51, George Waggner); Canyon Pass (51, Edwin L. Marin); Washington Story (52, Robert Pirosh); Diplomatic Courier (52, Henry Hathaway); Something for the Birds (52, Wise); Immediate Disaster (54, Burt Balaban), a 16mm produetion; and Stranger from Venus (54, Balaban).
Having married the writer Roald Dahl, she made only a few, carefully selected films: Kazans A Face in the Crowd (57); Blake Edwards’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s (61); as the long-suffering housekeeper in Martin Ritt’s Hud (63), for which she won the best actress Oscar. But after Alexander Singer’s Psyche 59 (64) and Preminger’s In Harm's Way (65), she suffered a debilitating stroke. Her recovery from paralysis has been extraordinary and she has since made The Subject Was Roses (68, Ulu Grosbard); Baxter! (72, Lionel Jeffries); Happy Mother’s Day . . . Love George (73, Darren McGavin); B. Must Die (73, Jose Luis Borau); The Passage (78, J. Lee Thompson); All Quiet on the Western Front (79, Delbert Mann); and Ghost Story (81, John Irvin).
In 1981, her recovery from the stroke was filmed as The Patricia Neal Story (Anthony Harvey and Anthony Page)—with Glenda Jackson playing her and Dirk Bogarde as Dahl. Since then, she has acted in Shattered Vows (84, Jack Bender); Love Leads the Way (84, Mann); Caroline? (90, Joseph Sargent); as Shelley Winters’s sister in An Unremarkable Life (89, Amin Q. Ghaudhri).
Since then she has been in A Mother's Plight: The Elizabeth Morgan Story (92, Linda Otto); Heidi (93, Michael Rav Rhodes); Cookie’s Fortune (99, Robert Altman); For the Love of May (00, Mar)' McDonough and Marv Beth McDonough).
