Hidden
In her latest book, Karen Truesdell Riehl reveals her life living in the shadows, beginning with hiding from elementary school bullies who do not know dyslexia has kept her from learning to read before the age of ten. Ten years later she enters a home for unwed mothers, hiding her love affair with a married actor, who deserts her before becoming an international film star. She continues to hide her past after marrying a man from a wealthy, socially prominent family, later discovering her husband has been hiding his own secret from her throughout their 17-year marriage. Karen Truesdell Riehl's memoir, in diary form, transports her readers back to the days when women were to be seen, but not heard. Women who've lived through the 1950's will recognize the judgmental paternalism of those years. Younger readers will be grateful they don't.

The Princess and the Pea
"Everyone has fun during this audience-participation version of a famous fairy tale. It may be performed by teens for children or performed for audiences of any ages. It’s a charming comic spoof with exaggerated characters. King Do-Good and Queen Always-Nice search the world over for a real princess for their son, Prince Very-Handsome. When they can’t find one they decide to hold a contest. After Princess High Hat (a snob) and Princess Clever Hands (a thief) fail their first tests, Witch Double Ugly, in disguise, appears to be the winner. But at the last moment Princess Wet-to-the-Bone enters, asks for shelter, then sleeps on a pile of mattresses to discover a pea at the bottom. She wins the Prince. The audience is given props to bring on stage to interact with the performers. Delightful fun for everyone."--Publisher's website.

The Chateau Under the Rainbow
Sara moved into the Magnificent Château retirement community soon after she turned 55, the minimum age required. She makes friends with Fredrika, whom she calls "Freddie." The two of them meet daily on a bench under a weeping willow tree, sharing gossip about their neighbors, who range in age up to their friend Marty's 101. He claims to be 99, lying about his age to keep people from thinking he's old. When Freddie learns Sara dreamed of becoming an actress, running away from home at 18 to take a train to Hollywood, she demands to know the rest of her story. While Sara shares daily episodes of her life, including her two love affairs, one of which ends in sorrow, the other in happiness, we learn about the Chateau's other residents. Their stories reveal the achievements, losses, laughter and courage of a remarkable community.
