The outcome of Camille's teen-age pregnancy follows her for decades. It negatively affects her relationship with her father and the soldier she loves dearly. When she gets the news that he is "Missing in Action," she becomes very depressed and has a near- fatal accident that, she believes, was prevented by her deceased mother. This brings her hope. Alone, and through times that change drastically, she succeeds at building a new and fulfilling life. Then Alzheimer's strikes, and she is left with nothing but "on and off" memories--and her tiny white purse where she has been safeguarding a very precious treasure for almost fifty years.
When Connie Emerson's low-budget guide to Paris was first published, it quickly sold out. This newly revised edition, based on recent visits to the French capital proves that the term Paris bargain is not an oxymoron. Though the City of Light has a deserved reputation for being one of the world's most expensive destinations, it can be a cost-cutter's delight. Hotel rooms go for far less than established rack prices to people who take advantage of special promotions. This also applies to airline reservations, car rentals, or even restaurants. Charming and reasonably priced bistros dot every corner of this remarkable city. Readers will find sound advice on shopping, places of interest, senior citizen discounts, and places to entertain children (many free). Also included is a guide to the best and most effective routes for the Metro or the bus. This invaluable resource shows thrifty travelers how to get the best value for their francs.

All the stories in this book are true, and about real people. Combined in this book, they become a potpourri of inspiring, fascinating, and sometimes mysterious tales about individuals-- from persons who are widely famous, to those whose fame is restricted to their family and friends. The struggle, pain, joy, grief, surprise, courage, spirituality, and humor that they experienced and shared are not confined to people in a small city in the USA. These things abide in our human condition. So although the stories are about men, women and children who are known in and around Woonsocket, RI, they could be about anyone from anywhere on this planet.
