Celebrating diverse families
Frankie Jones is searching for something-something elusive. Abandoned as an infant by his father, orphaned after his mother died when he was a child, Frankie grows up tough, edgy, and street smart. The quintessential self-made man, he lives life to the fullest. Frankie becomes a journalist, hoping to be the next great American writer. While in Boston, he meets Mercedes Brewster. Refined, sophisticated, and from a prominent New England family, she is the complete opposite of Frankie. He can't help falling for her, but can he keep his wanderlust in check? Yet, it is the American Dream that Frankie seeks more than anything. Get the career. Get the success. And most importantly, get the girl. In California, Frankie becomes friends with Owen Brookes. Gutsy, brazen, and at times reckless, Owen is Frankie's alter ego. It is Owen who challenges Frankie's belief in the American Dream. Will either of them achieve what they want? What must they give up in pursuit? Some lessons you learn the hard way, but it is how you react in the face of adversity that ultimately matters. Frankie Jones is a rich tapestry of hope, love, friendship, and betrayal-a story of life itself.

A very special way to say "I love you."
Soul whispers are what we feel while gazing at the night sky, or watching clouds merge and transform on a sunny day. They are that subtle sense that we are connected to the bird bathing in a stream, and to the wind moving leaves on a tree. The soul whispers to us that we are connected to the person sitting at the next table in a restaurant, and to the hungry child on the television screen. The feeling of awe when we watch the full moon rise and the stars brighten is our soul reminding us that we are part of the vastness. The whispers tell us that we all have the Divine spark within us that longs to be reunited in the Light. The words in this collection may be healing, calming, or thought-provoking, you choose. They may spark something deep inside that brings pen to hand, prompting you to write your own souls whispers, or they may simply encourage a few minutes of peace. Find stillness and let your soul renew your spirit with its whispers.
