Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jessica Redland and Kate Forster. Do you believe in Christmas miracles? Holly is looking for a change. There has to be more to life than the long hours she works as an editor in New York City, despite what everyone says. What she doesn't expect when she leaves the city behind is to meet Mitch, a recluse who's hiding more than she realises. Mitch spends his days hidden away in a little log cabin in Inglenook Falls, where he owns a Christmas tree farm. He speaks to people only when necessary, so when Holly falls into his life, he's not sure how to react. All he knows is that something needs to change if he wants to get his life back on track. Along with friends Cleo and Darcy, Holly is determined to bring joy back to Mitch's life, but will he appreciate their interference? And when a business proposition throws everything up in the air, will it do more harm than good? Curl up this festive season in a snow-covered log cabin surrounded by Christmas trees and find out whether miracles and second chances really do happen. *Please note this is a re-release of Christmas Miracles at the Little Log Cabin, previously published by Helen J Rolfe* Praise for Helen Rolfe's heartwarming stories: 'Beautiful, magical and incredibly moving' The Writing Garnet 'It's a book version of a Hallmark movie' Amazon Reviewer 'A warm romantic feel-good read' Goodreads Reviewer 'The perfect festive romance' Jessica's Book Biz 'What a wonderful festive read!'

"The Next Rural Economies" debates the future of rural development and highlights successes and failures to inform research, policy and community action. Case studies present discussions of the current state of rural community and economic restructuring and provide research and policy directions for constructing resilient and sustainable rural economies.

Crowning the Year offers a practical guide to celebrating the key moments of the liturgical year in rural multi-church contexts. It considers the nature and distinctiveness of the rural church, the patterns of its worship and its ministry, reflecting on the importance of place, local community, the church building and the occasions which rural communities celebrate. In doing so, it offers an attractive and welcome ecclesiology and theology of the rural church. Crowning the Year will equip all who lead or assist with worship in rural contexts, lay and ordained. It offers essential groundwork on liturgical theology, and a theology of ministry in rural, multi-parochial contexts. It then provides practical ideas and direction on how to prepare for and conduct worship for the principal feasts and seasons of the Christian year, with a special emphasis on Christmas, Holy Week and Easter and the occasions such as Harvest, Plough Sunday and Rogation that are especially significant in rural communities.

Unmasked is the story of what happened in Okoboji, a small Iowan tourist town, when a collective turn from the coronavirus to the economy occurred in the COVID summer of 2020. State political failures, local negotiations among political and public health leaders, and community (dis)belief about the virus resulted in Okoboji being declared a hotspot just before the Independence Day weekend, when an influx of half a million people visit the town. The story is both personal and political. Author Emily Mendenhall, an anthropologist at Georgetown University, grew up in Okoboji, and her family still lives there. As the events unfolded, Mendenhall was in Okoboji, where she spoke formally with over 100 people and observed a community that rejected public health guidance, revealing deep-seated mistrust in outsiders and strong commitments to local thinking. Unmasked is a fascinating and heartbreaking account of where people put their trust, and how isolationist popular beliefs can be in America's small communities.

In many communities across North America in the 1960s and 1970s, the rural-relocation movement became both a way of life and a path forward for many people inclined to buck the mainstream-and Paul Salstrom embraced it. His experiences in rural Lincoln County, West Virginia, led him to the self-sufficient, "neighborly networking" lifestyle well known in many Appalachian communities since the early nineteenth century. In Appalachia's Alternative to Mainstream America, Salstrom outlines his Appalachian experiences in a memoir, revisiting this back-to-the-land tradition that guided his cultural experience during this time. While he pursued a number of experimental alternatives to a mainstream way of life during the late 1960s, it was not until he landed in Lincoln County a few years later that he found himself engaging in an alternative way of living that didn't feel "experimental" at all. This distinctive way of life was largely characterized by a closer connection to the earth-local sufficiency informed by homesteading, subsistence farming, and gardening-and the community-wide trading of favors in a spirit of mutual aid. Over time, Salstrom's engagement in this "neighborly" occupation has nurtured an informed belief that Americans will be drawn back to landed customs, taking care of the earth and of one another to thrive as individuals and communities. Emerging crises like pandemics, climate change, and deepening political divisions, as well as positive developments, like the embrace of organic food and the farm-to-table movement, Salstrom contends, might be just what America society needs in order to realize its democratic aspirations.
