Book excerpt: Running away never occurred to Kate Adams, until her husband Clifford inadvertently let it slip that he had had a fling with a woman half his age. Kate was devastated; she had trusted him! But what could she do? She couldn't leave; her job was to care for their children while Cliff traveled all over the world, finding exclusive stories to enhance his career in journalism. When a trip meant covering a news story in Florida, Kate would ask, "Can I go with you this time, please?" Clifford would playfully pat her on the head, smile and say, "Katie, I'll be so busy, you wouldn't enjoy it." Did he really think I couldn't enjoy sunny Florida in the winter, by myself? It was after their four children finished college and were deep in their chosen careers, that Kate, with Clifford's permission, took a long, life-changing trip across the country in her car; a trip destined to change the way she saw her life; change the way she wanted to live, sending Kate into unforeseen and challenging directions that neither she nor her husband had ever expected.

Book excerpt: In 1936, young brothers named Eddie and Connie Krajicek were abandoned by their mother, Hazel. She left the boys with her husband in South Omaha, Nebraska, and ran away 750 miles to Michigan, where she eventually remarried and lived for 45 years. Contact with her sons was sporadic, although Eddie in particular went out of his way to try to maintain a connection with the woman who broke his heart. When Hazel died in 1981, Eddie went to Michigan to attend her funeral. One of Hazel's stepsons there handed Eddie a small green suitcase. Inside, he found a trove of nearly 75 letters that he and Connie had written to her. She had collected and saved them over the course of four decades. In this moving book, Eddie's grandson, writer and author David J. Krajicek, shares the letters --often sad and occasionally uplifting--and tells the story of his investigation into the colorful life story of the grandmother he never really know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wixumlee Is My Salvation is the second book in Georgia Ann Mullen's Canal Tales Series. After a brutal fight with slave catchers, Tess, her brother Cooper, and Beany travel the Erie Canal to its end in Buffalo, New York. When a fearsome woman named Wixumlee kidnaps Beany, Tess and her friend Lucy become entangled in the daring slave rescues of Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. Tess is not the bold young woman she was a month ago. Pushed by the formidable Wixumlee, she struggles and fails as a reluctant Railroad conductor. Tess ranks at the bottom of Wixumlee's gang of abolitionists in terms of both skill and acceptance. The loyal Larkin, a pistol-packing gypsy named Mariana, and the heavily tattooed Quin offer more insults than encouragement. Only young Talbot and his one-eyed mama Savannah are sympathetic to Tess' many mistakes. Tess' anxiety swells when no one but she believes the puzzling Nicky Pappo is a slave catcher. Turned cowardly by bloodshed on the towpath, Tess toils against Wixumlee's dubious influence over Beany to win back her friend and regain her own lost courage. Georgia Ann Mullen is the author of A Shocking & Unnatural Incident, historical fiction about the First Woman's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. Tess, Beany and Lucy's lives reflect the issues leading up to that convention. Read how temperance, abolition and female sovereignty influence their lives at www.georgiamullen.com.

Download or read book The Godmother written by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Ann Scarborough’s Godmother puts a new twist in contemporary fantasy with the assertion that fairy godmothers exist here and now, and they have magical power that allows them to intervene in real-world problems. What if someone wished for a fairy godmother would help the entire city of Seattle? An overworked, overstressed social worker named Rose Samson does just that when she makes an idle wish on a mustard seed. Felicity Fortune of Godmothers Anonymous shows up to help. Rose Samson is neither fashion model beautiful nor a twit, and she happily joins forces with Felicity Fortune, a “Godmother” who demonstrates that Grimm’s fairy tales are still relevant in our humdrum modern world. Fairy godmothers are on a magical budget, so every possible way they can get human beings or animals to assist one another, they will try, rather than using up their magical means. Felicity encounters many strangely familiar situations: a pretty stablehand named Cindy Ellis is mistreated by her cruel stepsisters. A rock star’s daughter, scared of the supermodel she married, runs away from home and encounters seven Vietnam veterans at an encounter session and retreat. One of them might be a big bad wolf, who knows? In all their encounters, Rose and Felicity try to blend their magical aid with realistic human initiative and social responsibility. Scarborough’s fully realized settings and the humor built into the mix of magical solutions and grim reality make this work an entertaining and compelling read.
