The Wilde sisters dove headfirst into this world on fire with life and expectation. With hair black as midnight and eyes blazing blue, they grow into truly irresistible women. But as well as being blessed with beauty and determination, the Wilde sisters are cursed with equal tastes for mischief and bad men. And both of these appetites always lead to trouble.

Ruthless Immigration; the Rise to Democracy and the New American
The Rise to Democracy: The writing of this book is to help educate young America because the olds ways no longer work. It is clear the justice system in our country is nothing more than a reflection of what it used to represent. The issues regarding increased border patrol, speeches to the public about guaranteed citizenship were all deception by way of United States election. Many immigrants have already learned of other ways to fight for permanent residency in the states. It's a game of deception called "I want to become an American Citizen." You know, the process of doing what ever it takes. Years ago it began one city block at a time. Later the issue took over various communities. And now repopulating the region. It won't be long before the nation bows down to the color of another flag and the culture of a different country.
The Mercy of Thin Air
Following her death in 1920s New Orleans, beautiful Raziela chooses to remain in The Between--a place between life and death--rather than pass on to what lies ahead, hoping to find out what happened to her beloved Andrew.
Laughter and Tears
This wonderful collection of true-life tales reflects the joys, sorrows and wit of the generous and hearty residents of the no-so-sleepy historic village of Cumberland Furnace situated in the hills and hollows of rural Tennessee. They "register Democrat, vote Republican" and practice common sense ignoring the government to the best of their abilities.
Paula the Lighthouse Years
In the 1930's lighthouse keeping was dangerous and mundane, a way of life and isolation from life. Estonia was thriving and backward, unique and powerless. Women were submissive and yet the impetus for all things. And marriage was mandatory. But romantic love was the sweetest and most unlikely twist of fate. Paula is a woman I knew in my childhood. She was an Estonian immigrant. She was a mail-order bride. Her husband was an Estonian-American, a lighthouse keeper, a wife beater and maybe a pedophile. Paula, an educated woman in Estonia, came to this country not knowing the language or culture and was kept a virtual prisoner for more than a decade at a string of lighthouses on the rugged Alaskan coast. Paula was a woman who's life, while dictated by tradition, was full of excitement and adventure and characterized by passion and courage. And while at times there seems no end to the misery she endured, a love story unfolds. Come along on this true journey inside real lighthouse living and one woman's life.
If I Were a Man, I'd Marry Me
Combining the irreverence of Dave Barry with the sass of Molly Ivins, P.S. Wall is America's latest and funniest phenomenon. From traffic cops ("As far as I'm concerned, it's just not natural for a guy to stop a woman for going too fast") to politics ("In our neck of the woods, politically correct' means mounting your Rush Limbaugh sticker on the right side of the bumper") to Elvis ("Elvis is the standard to which all us white trash aspire. He's like white compost"), hers are Southern-style insights with a 1990s knowingness.
The Walls of Walltown
John Wall I (ca.1746-1831) moved from Virginia to Anson County, North Carolina and married Agnes Moorman. Descendants lived in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Texas and elsewhere.
The First Book of Calamity Leek
Brilliantly inventive and original. This debut novel tells the story of Calamity Leek: a girl who has never been allowed beyond the garden wall, until now. Lying in her hospital bed, broken, burned and scared, Calamity still believes that Aunty loved her. For as long as she can remember, Calamity, along with her sixteen sisters, lived in a Garden behind the Wall of Safekeeping. Like it said in Aunty's Appendix on the first page of the Ps: 'Everything has a purpose', and they were being trained for a very special one. In the Ns the Appendix said, 'Nosiness leads to nonsense'. As Calamity sees it, this is what led to their Garden's downfall, because when the sisters started questioning what was outside the Wall, they started questioning what was happening inside it too. But doubt is contagious. Watching your world crumble is frightening. And people who are frightened can be dangerous.
