Book excerpt: An Adventure that Spans Time and the Sea from the South Coast of Maine to the Lands Behind the Northern Lights Sim Spotswood decides not to keep his after school appointment with Dr. McCreedy to get his teeth straightened. Instead he wanders to the clam flats where Lost River meets the sea and where a Viking ship, unearthed from the silt of a thousand years, sits like the skeleton of a dragon in its cofferdam. Sim discovers buried in the sand, a small medallion the size of a half dollar. That he should be the one to find it is no accident. At least Dr. Asneath Plever of the Smithsonian doesn't think so. Nor does Winifred Hazel Chit, the Witch of thunderhead Cliff who has waited one hundred and eleven years for Sim to undertake the adventure that now unfolds. As more of the medallions appear Sim encounters other searchers including Splitface and Gold-Tipped-Smith who know the power of the Starlight Medallions and want them for themselves. Sim, who has never known his father, lies at night on the widows walk of his home with his dog, Walter, watching the celestial canopy, waiting for a shooting star upon which he can make his wish, the same wish he has made every night for a long as he has known the words of the wishing verse. Now as he travels with the Starlight Medallions to places where no one has gone before, it seems that wish may come true.

But unexpected courage leads him to acquire the loyalty of a young bird groundling named Trinket, who gives the Home’s loneliest inhabitant two incredible gifts: a real name — Arthur, like the good king in the old stories — and a best friend. Using Trinket’s ingenious invention, the pair escape over the wall and embark on an adventure that will take them out into the wider world and ultimately down the path of sweet Arthur’s true destiny.

Download or read book Grace Flowing Freely written by Marilyn Joseph and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda O’Reilly is filled with grace, God’s life. A financial marvel and humanitarian at twenty-eight, she is a woman of quintessential substance. Not prepared for how abruptly her life would change, she marries gregarious, seasoned Mitch McGill, the nation’s foremost journalist. Nothing could have equipped her for the District’s dog-eat-dog climate when she is barraged by insults from shock jock, Ozzie Maxwell, scandalized by journalist, Spencer Griffin, and second-guessed by gossip mongers. What she could not have predicted, however, was the spiteful assault perpetuated by her imperious mother-in-law, Anne McGill. Sustaining Amanda and Mitch are their unanimity, children, evolution of the Micah Foundation, shared love of music and theater and the sanctuary they find in their homes in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin and Bar Harbor, Maine. Interwoven into this fictional novel are the political turbulence from the mid-90’s to the 2000 election, abject poverty belying humanity and, conversely, the annual family Christmas gift to sumptuous locations analogous to watching the Travel Channel. Grace Flowing Freely is the first novel in a trilogy steeped in unconditional love, uncommon generosity of spirit, jealousy and ultimately, tragedy. The saga continues in Ever This Day Be at My Side.
