If Winter Comes
Old lady, the soft voice called. We just really want a drink of water. Open the door. We know youre in there! Essie Gaudette, widowed and alone in a deteriorating neighborhood, was justifiably afraid of these three street boys whose harrassment was escalating with each encounter. Especially did she need to fear the eldest. Zack, completely without either conscience or compassion. She realized he was using homeless Jeff as a useful tool, forcing him to make frightening choices. Increasing danger loomed over Essie throughout the long cold snow-blanketed winter. But when it ended, Essies life, and the life of all three boys, was forever changed.
The Navy Years
Did I dream of becoming a Navy wife? No! Never! I wanted to stay in the safety of my own small town world like all the other post World War II couples I knew. But man proposes and God disposes so, dragging my feet, I encountered a frighteningly unfamiliar world whose terms and conditions were created by the United States Navy. I tip-toed into it reluctantly and only years later when my husband was retiring, did I come to realize how much the way of life had become a part of me, and how much I was going to miss it. The learning process was challenging. I never grew to love the weeks and months of loneliness, but I did learn to cope with it, and grew in the learning.
Home Before Dark
Home Before Dark is a loving look back at the Great Depression. Along with vanishing jobs, long lines at soup kitchens, loss of the family farm to foreclosure, there were neighborhood five-person baseball games, floating on home-made rafts, jump-rope. Rockland High School Class of 1942 graduated into World War II; two classmates had already died at sea. Women became WAACS, WAVES, SPARS, Rosie the Riveter, air raid wardens, defense plant workers and, more traditionally, keepers of the Home Front. Suddenly life was filled with air raid drills, trains jammed with servicemen, ration books, movie stars in USO canteens, wartime romances, while everyone waited for the war's end so the men could all come home

A fortune teller/psychic and her slightly retarded brother accidentally become a factor in Dannys safety, and Tommy Logan, the private investigator, suddenly finds his work has become far more exciting than his usual dull routine chores.
