Gentle Journey
by Elaine Lyons Bach
"Wonderful Romantic Getaway" by Beverly Pechin for Readerviews
Daughter of a country vicar, Eden Barret dreams of helping the poor with her talent as an artist. Forced to work as governess to Lady Diana, the confused
sister of Colin, the Earl of Edmund, Eden finds fulfillment and friction. She defines herself by her faith: he has lost his. He enjoys verbal sparring matches
with her. Eden falls for the intelligent earl, but cannot see it leading to anything because of his views, her low social status, and Cassandra, the lovely neighbor
he appears to be courting. As Diana does her best to keep Eden and her brother apart, Cassandra's military brother forms designs on Eden's virtue.
FRANTIC
by Frances Lynn
"From heroin to Lithium and back again..before finally arriving in a village called Sanity on the other side of Blissland."
Ulla Ward
Seventies survivor Frances Lynn ruthlessly chronicles the psychotic highs and lows of Alice, a young English girl who escapes London at the tail end of the Sixties for a sojourn in San Francisco. She quickly discovers that the psychedelic world of tie-dye and joss sticks belongs to the previous decade when she becomes involved with a glitter daubed, sprawling theatre group, leftovers from the insular Haight-Ashbury crowd. Alice gets sucked in beyond her head, but just when the crazy theatre group's popularity overdoses, she goes over the top and is shipped back to London. By now, the early Seventies are in full decay, as is Alice. She continues her downward slide by falling in obsession with a fragmented member of the Art World. Their exhausting fling, fuelled by a cocktail of opiates is interrupted by repetitive bouts of insanity, like a San Francisco acid flashback. No holds are barred in this frantic saga of drug-fractured psyches - and it's hard to guess who will stagger on into the eighties..
Spring House: Book 1 in the Westward Sagas
by David Bowles
"... a compelling and historically accurate story through a fictional medium ... much more than any ordinary family history could be ... should leave any reader feeling both satisfied and informed."
Arthur Erickson, Genealogy Librarian, Greensboro Public Library, in The Guilford Genealogist
The Mitchells just wanted to be left alone to farm their land, practice their faith, and raise their family. But the way they responded to life on the new frontier, politics, and war made heroes of these ordinary citizens.
