Описание: A full moon, thousands of stars...but no Margie offers weekly accounts of love letters written by the author's parents during World War II. Readers will get a glimpse into the daily lives of those deployed and those left behind. The actual words of the letter writers tell the story, and the reader will experience first-hand the joys, fears, frustrations, monotony, hope, and love of a generation of young people cast into the extraordinary times of a world at war. The narrative begins with the story of a close-knit neighborhood gang of friends not far from their high school years enjoying summer vacations from their jobs in Detroit, Michigan. The attack on Pearl Harbor changed their futures immediately, and getting in to the service became a necessity. The disparate reality of when and how military service was achieved and its impact on the families of the soldiers who spread across the globe changed the nature of their relationships. The gang of friends and their families would never be the same. Military service opened new opportunities for these soldiers from Detroit to visit parts of their country and the world they probably never imagined they would see. The author's father, Joe, carries the bulk of the narrative, and he experienced a number of firsts in his lifetime as a result of his service. Joe learned to ride and care for horses in the cavalry. He visited states to which he had never been, and he met, trained, and lived with soldiers from across the United States. Joe traveled thousands of miles over the expanse of the Pacific Ocean to reach New Guinea, Australia, and the Philippine Islands. He flew in an aircraft for the first time. Joe often expressed loneliness and frustration about missing his one and only Margie, and he developed a growing disdain for the Army, particularly its officers, that he reported in the form of gripes. He displayed a curious mixture of intolerance and empathy for the native people he encounted in the countries of the Pacific. Joe outwaited all of this through a religious reliance on the daily letters he wrote to his girl back in Detroit. Margie proceeded on the same letter writing course, but her notes left out much of the loneliness and frustration she was truly feeling. She viewed her letters as talks to keep Joe up on all the latest news and gossip back home. She tried always to be upbeat and informative in order to diminish the vast distance between her and her boy. Once in a while, Margie reported the times that she felt worried and anxious and the times she cried herself to sleep, but she mostly kept those feelings out of her letters. In a world today with instantaneous communication possibilities, it is difficult to contemplate that a letter sent by Margie, with the mundane news of a particular day, wouldn't reach Joe for nearly two weeks. Even more difficult to fathom in this era of online ordering and delivery, is the reality that packages mailed from Detroit often took many months to arrive in the Philippines. Without letters, Joe and Margie, along with millions of other service members and their family and friends back home could not have navigated emotionally the years they were apart. Their personal story is a tiny particle in the vital history of the United States during World War II, but hopefully, it will remain as a solid touchstone for the generations of descendants who will follow these two sweethearts from a closely-knit neighborhood in Detroit.

Описание:
After waking from a nightmare, Amanda Costa Standford receives a phone call from the Stockton Police Department.
She realizes then that her dream really happened.
Detective Ramon advises her to come to the police station, where Amanda meets her three-year-old grandson, Sam, for the first time.
Amanda is given custody of Sam and must not only ease him out of his trauma, but explain the family secret of clairvoyance - while going through the battles of showing him how to cope with it - and guard it. She has the strength, but doubts her stamina over the long haul. Amanda must convince her grandson that he is not evil and that his clairvoyance is a part of him to use as a guide in helping others.
As for Sam, he doubts his abilities and wants to forget he has such a gift. To him, it's a burden too great to bear.
Fifteen years later, on the night of his high school winter formal, Sam runs into a gang in the parking lot. His doubts about his abilities keep him from seeing and believing in himself, landing Sam in the emergency room, where he lays near death.
Amanda needs to show Sam his true calling before it's too late. And Sam must accept who he really is before he makes the biggest mistake of his life.
The ultimate lesson: "Time - the perfect thief, traveling unnoticed."

Описание:
Gritch the Witch is grouchy, grumpy, and very hungry. The only thing that could make her happy is something extra special for lunch, and that is: Piggie Pie! Gritch zooms off on her broomstick to find eight plump piggies -- where else? -- on Old MacDonald`s Farm. Cleverly disguised pigs impersonate ducks, chickens, a cow, and Old MacDonald himself, as this uproarious, quick-paced story builds to an ironically surprising conclusion. Wacky, hip, and illustrated with bold, bright paintings, "Piggie Pie" adds a new twist to an old fairy-tale scene.

Описание:
An emotional family saga spanning almost a century, The Right Thing follows the sometimes loving, sometimes stormy relationships between Helen and her two daughters, Kibby Jane and Roberta Jo. Helen's story begins in 1934 in rural Washington state and ends with her memorial service in 2013.
Helen and her daughters all make the same mistake when they are young. But their individual solutions to the problem are very different,
partly because of the fundamental differences in their personalities and partly because of the changing cultural morals and rules of society at the time. Throughout their lives, they all continue to wonder if they did The Right Thing.
This novel paints a vivid picture of the shifting relationships between the three women through the decades. Their stories filled with emotion - resentment, anger, sadness, hope, and love, along with secrets, lies, and tearful disclosures are woven through the years. In the end, a mother's legacy lives on through her daughters and granddaughters.
