Book excerpt: The moving wartime story of friendship and heroism, set against the dramatic backdrop of the World War II Battle of Dunkirk In the marshes of Essex, one of the last wild places left in England, a disfigured artist lives alone in an abandoned lighthouse. Shunned by society, he spends his days painting scenes of the coast and the birds that migrate to the meadowlands every winter. His days are solitary until one November afternoon, a young girl from a nearby village comes to his door carrying a wounded snow goose in her arms. The unlikely pair develop a friendship that deepens over the ensuing years, waiting together for the arrival of the birds every autumn. In 1940, with England at war, the birds depart early from the shores. The man, too, is called away by his duty as an Englishman to help evacuate the soldiers stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk. A moving tale of love, war, bravery, and sacrifice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vol. 1 - The Snow Goose and Other Tales: When the enemy is at your door, you aren't always able to fight or flight. Sometimes the best scenario may be to regroup. How can one young girl do that though, with a disappointment from one of two remaining relatives and the enemy in a bed upstairs? The reader may wonder what a woman without other adults and a houseful of children can do during the civil war - which was NOT civil - and how she will ward off mercenary soldiers to protect them all. Well as you meet Nancy, you will see her successes, but help will come from a most unusual rescue she has made! How much is too much? Eileen had prayed a lot lately but nothing had changed. Her husband was gone with the troops - not heard from for almost two years, and she was left with a very small son and twin nursing babies! All her prayers hadn't seemed to be answered - really NONE of them had. So how could she possibly pick 300 trees of apples and plant acres and acres of crops? ELLEN MURPHY, AUTHOR "In A Nutshell" After retiring as Commissioner of the Revenue for Frederic Country, VA, Ellen Murphy has found a new career as an author. After the trauma of her husband passing, Ellen soon began spending more time devoted to her writing. She loves the historical research that goes into all her stories and enjoys hearing from her readers.
