Wretched
It begins when Nelle finds two cloth Stars of David in a basement clay canister hidden by her Grandmother, like an Urn. Next, her Grandmother reveals two letters a Jewish man had sent her from an internment camp during the war. The old woman either worked for the underground in Brussels or she was in love. An emotive tapestry featuring salt of the earth characters caught up in crises and with a cross genre appeal, Wretched is a family saga with a strong romantic theme featuring multi-generation stories. Nelle tells the story of intergenerational trauma and the hardships the women of her family have faced to her unborn child throughout the various stages of her pregnancy. The reader enters into the historic and tumultuous life of Nelle' s Grandmother, a name-changer, Amé lie then Sophie Cyncad. A woman entrapped by Occupied Brussels, she flees to Canada and finds herself in an isolated and rural village. She faces the struggle of assimilation alone and works through the repercussions of the Second World War amongst the alienation and familiarity of a wild shield.

Issaquah, Washington
Incorporated as Gilman in 1892, Issaquah was among the earliest communities settled on the east side of Lake Washington. By 1900, immigrants and newcomers were flooding into the town now known as Issaquah to work the mines, mill lumber, and establish farms and businesses. Though the town's growth dwindled with the coal market in the 1920s, families first attracted by the area's business opportunities stayed because they loved the close-knit community. In 1940 the first bridge across Lake Washington heralded a new era of growth, bringing Issaquah within an hour's drive of Seattle. By the time Interstate 90 came through town in the early 1970s, many trademarks of the small town were fading. This collection of photographs, many never before published, illustrates Issaquah's heyday of mining and logging, its quiet years as a rural community, and its recent transformation into a thriving city. Included are scenes of local events such as the annual Issaquah rodeo, the Squak Valley Hot Shots musical group, and the Issaquah Skyport air show. The deconstruction of architectural symbols such as the Issaquah high trestle and an old pioneer home are also documented.
Guide to Arizona's Wilderness Areas
Arizona is known for its exceptional variety of topography and ecosystems. From stands of saguaro cacti and plunging canyons to high alpine forests, many are fragile areas in need of protection. All told, Arizona has some 92 wilderness areas, and author Tom Dollar provides informative descriptions for backcountry travelers wishing to explore those 65 areas accessible to the public. (Many areas are so remote they are virtually inaccessible.) This guidebook includes suggestions for hikers, along with insights into the unique natural history of such areas as Paria Canyon, Mazatzal, Organ Pipe, and Kachina Peaks wildernesses. Outdoor photographer Jerry Sieve's dramatic photographs illustrate each of the areas described.
