When they rebel, they are forced to flee, boarding a ship in Liverpool that carries them to New Orleans where they are befriended by the family of Gershon Lowensohn, a cotton factor as kindly as their uncle was uncaring.

Forced to leave New Orleans, they start over yet again, this time in Atlanta, growing as the city grows, creating a retail empire that will become an Atlanta landmark.

    Child abuse investigator Bo Bradley gets the case. Staff at St. Mary’s Hospital for Children assume the boy is mentally impaired because he cannot talk, but Bo remembers a little sister named Laurie. She knows that the boy, like Laurie, is deaf. Complicating things is Bo’s manic depressive disorder, a troubling but occasionally valuable problem for which she always, well sometimes, takes her meds. The prime directive in Bo's job is "Don't become emotionally involved with the child!" But the little boy is so bright inside his silence, and so alone. Bo feels the ominous first ripples of an oncoming manic episode and grabs her meds, but they won't have much effect for weeks and the child is in danger now! Risking her job and ultimately her life in a perhaps-delusional race to protect a four-year-old whose only word is his own name - "Weppo" - Bo finds herself alone with the child in a desert night fraught with terrors as she tries to reach an imagined safety among the Paiute. But political intrigue, desperate secrets and a relentless evil lurk in every shadow of a moonlit landscape in which Bo has only her own intense and uncanny perceptions as guide. She knows she's "crazy," but sometimes crazy sees what rational cannot. And "crazy" is now Weppo's only chance for a life! “A sensationally fine first novel… breathtakingly well-told…”The Los Angeles Times

    You both always attempt to put us off.’ After many years of lonely widowhood Geoffrey Blair a well-liked, conscientious family doctor in a small town in the Yorkshire Dales, has married his receptionist a pretty woman 22 years his junior, despite the opposition of his sons by his first marriage. Catherine Wills is a working class girl with ambition, looks but no money, no social position and not much hope of bettering herself by marrying beyond her class. So she is determined to make a success of her marriage and within a year the Blairs are parents of twins Tansy and Gilbert. As the younger generation tries its wings, Catherine has to come to terms with her role – as wife, stepmother and mother. Into the lives she loves will come the pain of rejection and the joy of passion. Esteemed by his patients privately, however Geoffrey is something of a domestic tyrant determined to run the lives of his children, mould them to his will and ruthlessly feigning illness to get his own way which in the process threatens to destroy their happiness unless they resist him. Tansy despite being bright, spirited and beautiful has no ambition but to remain in a place she loves and, like her mother, marry a local man and follow a life of domesticity with children and devotion to good causes. This she does but her husband is older than her, an experienced much travelled ex-Army officer whose ambitions are far reaching, so that conflict is inevitable. Gilbert scholarly and solitary, like his father, obediently follows him into the medical profession but tries to frustrate his father’s desire to join him in his practice. Jeremy the eldest son, now a wounded war hero, also tries unsuccessfully to settle for a quiet bucolic life as a shepherd, but is lured to the bright lights of London by the prospect of fame as a writer. The lives of Geoffrey and Catherine Blair and their children are the focus of a novel covering thirty four momentous years (1932/ 1966) which shows a country in war and peace, a country and a family confused by shifting values, public and private turmoil.

    

    . . An inspiring story.”—Publishers Weekly“This is the . . . powerfully told story of an exceptionally determined human being.”—BooklistOn September 21, 1962, U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Donald N. Hamblen’s life changed forever . . . During a routine parachute jump, strong winds drove Hamblen into high tension wires at the outskirts of Camp Pendleton, California. Doctors were astounded that he had survived, but five days later his leg had to be amputated five inches below the knee.For most people, this would be the end of the story. Hamblen could have retired on medical pension, but for him, leaving the Marines was not an option. He fought to remain in the Marines, passed all of the arduous physical tests, and within eleven months was going to the field, parachuting, and scuba diving with First Force Recon Company.With more than two years in the super-secret Studies and Observation Group (SOG), he is one of the few Americans who can document having fought repeatedly in North Vietnam, and by his extraordinary example, he served as an inspiration to other badly wounded soldiers. This is his incredible story of courage, spirit, and self determination.“I have been associated with countless service personnel during my lifetime and Sergeant Hamblen tops the list of selfless, dedicated, all-American tough Marines. Words are inadequate to portray his life as fully as he has lived it, but his biography will serve as an inspiration and be a worthy model to be emulated by all who would aspire to be among the few good men—the Marines. As one of the ‘Godfathers’ of the Marine Corps deep reconnaissance, it has been a privilege to have known and served with Woody Hamblen. Semper Fidelis.“—Herman Nickerson, Jr. Lt. Gen. USMC (Ret.)
