Fitness and Wellness: A MindBody Approach

Lockhart, Barbara

McGraw-Hill/Higher Education

Mosey, a long-legged, lumbering kind of dog, has a napping place in the middle of a corn field, but when the plow comes through, followed later by the planter, Mosey can no longer find his spot. As the corn grows, Mosey's adventures in the field include exploring tunnels in the corn rows, chasing rabbits, finding relief from the summer’s heat, and, at the end of the season, experiencing the terrifying (to him) appearance of a combine. Mosey's Field illuminates the beauty of the rural landscape, the change in seasons, and the progression of agricultural methods. While Mosey continues the search for his special place, children are not only connected to the environment, but the important concept of where food comes from. Early reader–ages 5-8.

Set on Maryland’s Eastern Shore during the 1970s and ’80s, Barbara Lockhart’s first novel tells the story of a family living on an isolated farm dealing with the ties of love and pain that bind and set them at odds. Justin, the father, is a divided self, shifting seemingly without cause from exuberance to gloom. His stoic wife, Rosemary, finds his moods incomprehensible, yet is seduced by his love of life and talent for risk-taking, characteristics she sees and prizes in their three children as well. As events spin increasingly out of control, Rosemary finds herself alone in the eye of the storm. 
Using multiple viewpoints, Lockhart tracks the Williams family’s internal and external struggles in a rural environment, a landscape that often reflects the mood of family members caught in a precarious balance between the extremes of despair and hope. Lockhart’s novel is ultimately about the enduring web of family set against the mysteries of personality and fate.

Winner, Silver Medal, IPPY AWARDS (Regional Fiction)"Elizabeths Field captures the realities of pre-Civil War life on Marylands Eastern Shore and creates characters that struggle in extraordinary adversity. Lockhart traces the branches of several generations of black families, their histories merging, the memories of their grandparents miseries fading yet not forgotten. Her carefully limned descriptions of the land the profusion of flora and the turning of the seasons are masterful. Through fully rounded characters and lyrical prose, Lockharts novel teaches some hard lessons about mans inhumanity to man."- Kathryn Lang, former editor at Southern Methodist University Press"The characters in Elizabeths Field are clearly defined and the environment carefully re-created so that we feel we are indeed stepping into the past, actually viewing people behind the gauze curtains of long ago. Weaving the present with the past, Lockhart brings us face-to-face with how slavery has continued to impact people on the Shore. Elizabeths Field is a thoroughly readable work, thought-provoking and well-written."- G.
