Sort of Rich

Good day~

Title           : Sort of Rich

Author      : James Wilcox

Synopsis  :

Gretchen Peabody, fortyish and only just a bit frowsy, has decided to abandon the comforts of Manhattan for a new home in Tula Springs, Lousiana, having been swept off her feet by Frank Dambar, a fetching widower she has happened upon in New Orleans souvenir shop.  What she finds there, however, is a state of affairs to which only James Wilcox could do justice. 

While Gretchen is baffled by the small town’s provincialism, it pales next to the weird household her new husband has assembled, which includes a handyman/mystic and his arthritic niece, and a stolidly Teutonic housekeeper determined to keep the first Mrs Dambar’s memory alive.  Just as Gretchen begins to wonder whether so unusual a marriage has been a mistake, fate again intrudes… and Sort of Rich takes off in a startling direction.

The Journal of Callie Wade

Sorry. It's been awhile I haven't update for the new entry. Let's see what we've got here. =)

Title     : The Journal of Callie Wade
Author: Dawn Miller

Synopsis:

April 12, 1859: "What you can't duck, you best welcome."  That's what Mama used to always say, anyway... Even though it was in me to fight going West, I couldn't; there is a light in Pa's eyes, a kind of hope that our Rose will find health and I see it in Jack's eyes, too.  As wild and reckless as my brother can be, I know he dreams of better. When I look into Quinn's eyes I feel my own dreams, too... and the love.  But everything is so unsure on the trail.  Sitting here, staring at the scattered camp fires of the train, I can almost hear the prayers to make it through another dust-choked mile, over another river, another birth... another death.  Maybe Pa is right, maybe we'll all have a new chance at life in the West.  But what a price?

From bitter hardships to moments of shining joy, from unexpected friendship to Callie's blossoming love for Irishman Quinn McGregor, THE JOURNAL OF CALLIE WADE is a chronicle of courage and faith, an inspiring tale of hope and endurance to treasure for years to come.
