In December 2014, a chocolate-colored dog with golden eyes is found wandering in Arizona''s Yuma Desert. A kind-hearted man brings the lost dog to a rescue facility. Sadly, no one chooses to adopt the stray, whose desperate wish is for a family to love and cherish him. Soon, however, while he''s at a second animal rescue, his picture is published in a local paper and-voila! A compassionate couple fall for him, name him Karl, and bring him to his forever home, one filled with unconditional love. Parents and children alike will be captivated by this tender, humorous look at Karl''s now happy life-told from his point of view and with pictures of the real Karl, a handsome Boykin Spaniel.

When an American woman and her husband move to China for his job, she finds humor and adventure, while her Shanghai driver, who doesn''t speak English, tries to keep her out of trouble. From supermarkets to restaurants, every aspect of her daily life offers a new lesson. In Cutted Chicken in Shanghai, we join Sharon as she interacts with Chinese people and delights in both the similarities and differences she uncovers. As Sharon immerses herself in an unfamiliar culture, her quick wit, humor, and open heart endear her to those she meets, and her Chinese friends become as unforgettable to her as the China she comes to love. Interspersed with snapshots from her past, this book is an opening into the Middle Kingdom where there is something deeply familiar at its core.
