Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, a small-town WASP girl strives to protect her unborn baby and her honor in a conflict between her abusive sea captain father and her ambitious young lover who is determined to become a writer. When Ann becomes pregnant, nothing is clearer than that she cannot turn to her family. She hides with Joseph in his university town and then in Puerto Rico; they pretend to be married. Tasting the sweetness of young life together, they struggle with visions of a future as parents that would accommodate Joseph’s aspiration to succeed. The task is too great; questions of character, capacity for love and tolerance, and readiness for parenthood remain unanswered. Unable to reconcile family attitudes and their own differences, and to take what they know to be the honorable course, they see changes come about in themselves caused by guilt and resentment. Joseph must make his way alone. Ann releases their baby for adoption. Haunted by the echoes of their decision, Joseph and Ann part, each heading toward an unexpected future. The past is always with us—will Ann find redemption, or will she be forever trapped in regret for what might have been? This honest, poignant memoir will take you on a vivid, achingly real journey to the painful tipping-point of a world before the advent of feminism and social change.

She wakes to the devastating news that her mother is missing, and her pleas for help are met with silence, as everyone she asks is struck down by arrows. Strange and perilous places await her, filled with daunting tasks and unknown outcomes. Throughout her journey, Daisy encounters many creatures. Her kindness and sympathy allow her to communicate and help them without expecting anything in return. It’s Daisy’s determination and courage that drive her forward, refusing to let her give up. She relies on a steadfast inner (or perhaps outer?) voice to keep her head up. However, one crucial rule must always stay with her heart and mind: as she strives to solve her problems and reach her goals, she must never forget the people around her. Above all, Daisy must hold on to her humanity.

Miss Daisy, the curmudgeonly 1934 Austin, returns with another tale of exasperation and embarrassment as she reluctantly yet resolutely carries Her Ladyship and her dog Oscar, better known as The Asthmatic Barking Dog, all the way to John O’Groats, before turning south again. Her Ladyship tries to convince her that once they’ve reached there, the difficult part will be over, but Miss Daisy is unconvinced. If the next ten days are anything like her previous experiences of such trips, then she may as well go and get herself a one-way ticket to the scrapyard. ‘It’s downhill from then on Old Girl, all the way to Land’s End!’ Each day gets worse than the one before and as her ebullient owner relishes every mile, stopping occasionally to give a lift to a succession of oddball hitchhikers, Miss Daisy wonders why on earth such a simple everyday 200-mile journey has to be fraught with such catastrophe.

He was missing. Cardigan had to find him before the enemy did—and his only clue was one lone petal.... Follow Buzz Cardigan in action against the no-holds-barred backdrop of Hipsville, U.S.A. Our guarantee: a laugh—or a scream—on every page... as the worst fiends try to lure him to a camp from which he'll never return.

Book excerpt: In England in the late 1920s, The Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, on a convalescent trip to the countryside, goes to visit three old school friends in the area. The three, all unmarried, have recently bought a house together. They are a part of the generation of "superfluous women"—brought up expecting marriage and a family, but left without any prospects after more than 700,000 British men were killed in the Great War. Daisy and her husband Alec—Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher, of Scotland Yard —go for a Sunday lunch with Daisy's friends, where one of the women mentions a wine cellar below their house, which remains curiously locked, no key to be found. Alec offers to pick the lock, but when he opens the door, what greets them is not a cache of wine, but the stench of a long-dead body. And with that, what was a pleasant Sunday lunch has taken an unexpected turn. Now Daisy's three friends are the most obvious suspects in a murder and her husband Alec is a witness, so he can't officially take over the investigation. So before the local detective, Superintendent Underwood, can officially bring charges against her friends, Daisy is determined to use all her resources (Alec) and skills to solve the mystery behind this perplexing locked-room crime.
