The Trumpet of the Swan
Summary
Louis is a Trumpeter Swan, but he has no voice. Though he is frightened when his father explains to him that he is different from the other cygnets, Louis is resourceful and determined. Leaving his wild and beautiful home, he finds a young human friend, Sam Beaver, who helps him learn to read and write. When he returns to the lake, Louis discovers his education isn't enough: the beautiful swan he loves, Serena, can't read his declarations of love, and he can't trumpet them. Louis' resolution to win the swan of his desire launches him on an adventure that will take him far from home and lead where fate and love have a few surprises in store. With humor and lyric beauty, E.B. White tells a timeless tale of love, courage, and freedom that will capture the imagination of every listener.

Poco Bueno
Summary
Poco Bueno is the story of every man’s fantasy - escaping the life-numbing prison of his nine-to-five existence. Stokes is a 31-year-old executive in the lucrative Texas oil business. His marriage to the boss’ daughter is on the skids, and his true love - an over-restored 70-foot Hatteras fishing yacht - has him panicking in debt. Following his heart and the naked truth of his fun-loving boat captain and sidekick JP, the two fishing buddies throw caution to the wind and head out on a quest for genuine adventure and meaning. Like the ever-churning margarita blender onboard the boat, Poco Bueno serves up a potent mix of 30-something male angst, bikini-clad willful women, testosterone-fueled antics, and off-the-charts fishing. Based on the very private, but oh-so-real, million-dollar Port O’Connor Offshore Invitational Fishing Tournament held off the coast of Texas, this book might very well be the next great American Western, albeit a watery one! Yes, this is a novel about fishing - fishing in one of its most savage and primordial forms - but it is really a story about the ultimate inevitability of what life serves up and our ability to eat well at the feast.
