Family Narrative & History
KING OF THE FORESTby Lucinda Marcoux
(Pear Tree Publishing 2009,
$24.95, ISBN: 978-0-9821983-0-8)
A touching story of one family’s struggle with cancer, a must read! Lucinda Marcoux featured on Write Now
“King of the Forest seduces the reader. A new young literary voice emerges in these pages with a compelling tale. It is a love story. In a literary world weary of dysfunctional families, Lucinda Marcoux gives us a family where love transcends the sadness of loss, where bonds between brother and sister become the instruments that heal even as medicine fails. What a wonder of writing when the reader is at once filled with tears and joy! This is a story that causes us to look anew at our own lives and losses and to find meanings that we have missed.”

“Replete with numerous family photographs, genealogy reports, charts, and stories of family happenings, this narrative traces the five generations of the Serra family. This is a book that non-family members will pick up to read in order to learn of the lives of recent immigrants as they adapt to the new surroundings and customs so different from those of the ancestral homeland. A non-Serra descendant and non-Italian, this reviewer found the book well done, educational, and just plain fascinating.”

EDGEWOODAn Old Farm in the New Millennium
by Susan K. Walsh
(Pear Tree Publishing 2011, Full Color
$25.00, ISBN: 978-0-9821983-1-5)
200 Years of North Andover History!
“I experienced sights and sounds no different from those of the last century, and almost no different from those of the last two hundred years. In the coming years, the farm and its surroundings would undergo more changes than it had for those two hundred, but at that moment, that rare day in June, it stood unchanged, timeless – the epitome of the New England farm in Spring.”

BOUND FOR MUNSUNGUN - Family Heirloom EditionThe History of the Early Sporting Camps Of Northern Maine
by Jack Ahern
(Pear Tree Publishing 2009, B&W images
$35.95, ISBN: 978-0-9749291-9-4)
Hard Cover Edition with over 20 pages of new material!
“Jack painstakingly researched his book, which introduces readers to the pioneers, families and guides who earned a living in some of the state’s most unforgiving territory. "Bound for Munsungan" is a bit like the territory it describes: It’s a hard-edged, rustic, no-nonsense account. You don’t find long, flowery passages full of adjectives and descriptions in Ahern’s work. The collected black-and-white photos take care of that brand of heavy lifting. You do learn something new on every page, however, as Ahern walks you though the region’s history and introduces you to people like Will Atkins, Milt Hall, Walter Grau and the Libby family.”

Jack Ahern has always had an interest in history. He made his first visit to the Maine woods on a hunting trip to Ripogenus Dam in 1947. After visiting Munsungun Lake at the headwaters of the Aroostook River in 1956, he became a regular guest at the Bradford Camps and has continued to hunt and fish this area for over forty years. While at these camps, many yarns are spun during both the fishing and hunting season. He realized that there was a great deal of history that could be either lost or recorded for future generations. It was evident that the older guides and the camp owners were eager to reminisce about their early years in these Maine woods… These are those stories and tall tales; we hope that you enjoy them!

Spiritual Poetry with Color Illustrations!
“It is difficult to write a summary of my life in a few words, but I will try. In December of 2011 I turned 90 years old. Funny I don’t feel that old. I have been blessed with a wonderful and quite adventurous life. Being the mother of eight children there was never a dull moment. My husband was a workaholic and loved us dearly. I have learned to let go and let God guide me. He has ever been at my side through much pain and problems. The more the pain the closer He was. My philosophy has been TO GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THINGS whether it be in pain, in problems, or in awe of HIS beauty around us. I believe this is my inspiration for the poetry I write. I never feel alone or lonely. GOD is always right with us in all circumstances to comfort us, to give us peace that surpasses all understanding. I thank GOD for the gift of simple poetry.”

EXPRESSIONS FROM HIS HEARTBy Pasquale A. Emiro
(Pear Tree Publishing 2010,
$14.95, ISBN: 978-0-9821983-2-2)
A Wonderful Spiritual Poetry Book!
“On Easter Sunday 2007, I wrote my first poem. Rather, I should say, God wrote it for me. I recall that while in church facing the beautiful decorated altar of lilies, I was inspired and compelled to write about this exquisite scene. Since then, I have written quite a lot of poems. The enclosed poems convey a variety of settings, personalities, and landscapes. They vary in thought, but underlying all is a spiritual nature. I’ve entitled them “Expressions from His Heart”, because that’s what they represent. His Heart refers to Almighty God, who inspired them. Literally, as Mother Teresa humbly said about her works, “I was the pen, but God wrote the words.” This has direct application to me as well. I hope you find them as inspiring as I did when I penned them.”

MOMENTS FALLING OPENThe Write Group Anthology
Foreword by Gayle C. Heney
(Pear Tree Publishing 2007,
$14.95, ISBN: 978-0-9749291-4-9)
A collection of poems from five female
poets from various walks of life.
“The social networking dimension of poetry is ubiquitous in Japan, but in America it is a rare phenomenon. The writers of this collection have set the admirable goal for themselves to present a collection that uses a newly devised form known as “specular poetry.” …the discoveries they have made in their group’s exploration of form are worthy of attention, and the larger community should certainly take note.”

Poetry by the Greater Haverhill Poets
with artwork by the GHP and local artists.
The Greater Haverhill Poets (GHP) invites you to enjoy this collection of poetry and art. All members worked enthusiastically on the project. Poets are lovers of language, of ideas and artists are visual interpreters of life and ideas. We hope that our readers will find the cooperative effort in this book a perfect blending of these two world views. The Greater Haverhill Poets have been meeting at the Haverhill (Massachusetts) Public Library since the early 1980s. New poets are always welcome to join and to share their work with us. We meet on the third Saturday of each month at the library from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

THE VISUAL SIDE –a Collection of Poems
by Christopher P. Obert
(Pear Tree Publishing 2005, Full Color,
$10.00, ISBN: 0-9749291-2-3)
Which side tells the better story, the photo or the poem?
Poetry and beautiful women go together like the sun and the moon. This book combines the beauty of women and the grace of poetry into one truly enjoyable, retro-1980’s style package. If the poems don’t get you, the images certainly will…
“In his poetry collection, Christopher Obert tries to give the reader visual clues of his poetry on love and rejection… Obert plays the seductive role—like a stripper slowly revealing the layers of himself through his relationships with women. But the often haunting pictures in The Visual Side do indeed add to the poetry and put a face on his passions, making the words more difficult to forget.”

REFLECTIONS –a Collection of Poems & Writings,
by Christopher P. Obert
(Obert Publishing 2005, B&W images,
$14.95, ISBN: 0-9749291-1-5)
Excellent introduction to poetry book!
“Christopher Obert has written a book of 52 short poems with subjects including nature, war, family and faith. Also included are 18 pages of author notes that provide some terminology (ballad, stanza, couplet), but more importantly, a glimpse into the creative process, which is often fascinating. Obert is honest with his comments, referring to lines with which he is not satisfied, mentioning what he thinks are his best phrases, sharing events that caused a creative spark, or lamenting moments when his concentration has been sidetracked… After reading this enjoyable collection one has a sense of the joys, frustrations, liberations, and limitations all writers face.”

In these troubling times of chaos and uncertainty people are desperately searching for answers. Mary’s book, My Walk with Mary: In the Footsteps of Bernadette, will bring inspiration and hope to a world so greatly in need of comfort.
