When Pam Ridgeway loses her job in a mass Wall Street layoff, her reporter daughter offers a chance to heal their estranged relationship if Pam will go on television to talk about the firings. Pam's fiercely ambitious daughter is romantically entangled with her hot co-worker on cable financial television and prone to equally hot temper tantrums. She ruthlessly pushes Pam out of her comfort zone, so Pam seeks the aid of her retired social activist mother at her Long Island beachfront home. Her mother's handsome new neighbor and friend, Bruce, and his cute dog are a welcome distraction. Bruce pursues Pam, although he's hiding a secret agenda about her mother. Pam's elderly mother is having some trouble with her memory lately, and she wonders why Bruce reminds her of a dear friend's tragic story from World War II days. A Daughter's a Daughter is stand-alone women's fiction with satisfying endings to all the major plot threads.

His direct, personal experience of life at the heart in the Reich makes for compelling reading.

The process can have far-reaching effects on a species' biology, especially numerous aspects of its ecology and evolution. This is particularly the case for the oaks, in which the dispersal of the acorn is tied to numerous tree characteristics, as well as the behavior and ecology of the animals that feed on and move these seeds to their final destination. Forest structure, composition, and genetics often follow directly from the dispersal process—while also influencing it in turn. In Oak Seed Dispersal, Michael A. Steele draws on three decades of fie...
