This is the continuing story of King William I and Queen Margaret and their descendants of the House of Rochester. The story follows sassy British Queen Margaret II and her American-born Consort Prince John as they raise their family. These are the mischievous adventures of them and their children (William, Margaret, Arthur, Charlotte, Isabella, John, and Katherine) as they grow up and find love and begin their families. The story tells of triumph and tragedy as Queen Margaret II's family grows up and sees the first king in nearly one hundred years and that of the new King William VII and Queen Stacy. The story ends with the tragic death of King William and the coming of age of the new King John III.
This is a book of poems written for readers to share life's experiences, fantasies, and thoughts. It is about growth: grasping the awe from every moment in life. Some poems based on real life situations and some pure imagination. They were written so that all can understand. Everyone has had highs and lows in life. I hope my readers will be able to enjoy also taking something away with them from my poetry.

In 1902, Martha Berry founded the Industrial School for Boys to educate the children of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, and in 1909 the school admitted women.
