Miracles abound in Sugar Creek, a small-town nestled near the horse trails and hazelnut orchards of Oregon's lush countryside. It is here, where twenty-six-year old Gemma Porter lives a vibrant life chasing her dreams. But Gemma is underestimated by a world that pigeonholes her as "intellectually disabled." While the naysayers and bullies only see Gemma's limitations, her beloved grandmother sees the heart of a genius—and a soul of divination. When Gemma's longing to be a mother collides with her grandmother's hidden past, three generations of Porter women are put in peril. A harrowing adventure unfolds into a heroic quest to save their lives. As Gemma's bravery is tested, she will need to prove that regardless of age or intellect, a mother's love knows no bounds.

Democratic Repairman

The Political Life of J. Howard McGrath

By: Debra A. Mulligan

As governor of Rhode Island, J. Howard McGrath oversaw the passage of social legislation aimed at improving the lives of his constituents during the dark days of World War II. As a Rhode Island senator he served as the Democratic National Committee Chairman during the contentious 1948 presidential election, when few believed Harry Truman could defeat New York governor Thomas R. Dewey. Following Truman's victory, McGrath could easily have written his own ticket to further political success--but his career was cut short in 1952 when he was forced to resign as Attorney General amid a cloud of scandal. This biography traces the rise and fall of a politician who achieved notable success yet ultimately fell victim to his appetite for power, fame and fortune.

Friendship Interrupted

Challenges and Practical Solutions: What You Can Do

By: Judy Dippel,Debra Whiting Alexander, Ph.D.

Friendship Interrupted is for any woman who asks, "What happened to our friendship?" Like an adventurous and enlightening road trip with girlfriends, this book has unexpected curves and important discoveries. There is laughter ... and tears. In this book, the solutions to the umpteen things that can interrupt friendships are easy to find and easy to read. Reliable self-help advice in the "What you can do" sections are realistic and sensible. Importantly, the ultimate guidance of God's word and wisdom is blended throughout, to bring women much more than the authors or words written on a page can provide. Unlike most books on women's friendships that delight in the qualities that make a perfect friend, this book looks at a multitude of challenges women have identified as difficult, hurtful, confusing, or complex. These 'interruptions' can be temporary or become permanent; either way a rift or rupture of a valued friendship causes strain and strife that needs answers. The good news, changes and choices can be made to mend and maintain valued friendships, or know when it is best to simply "let go" and move on. This book has a fresh perspective that sheds new light on individual habits, actions and reactions, and those of others. The issues addressed are universal; the quotes from women are real, and the challenges they share range from mild to toxic. This book inspires, and it is a great help to women who want to be better equipped to respond in positive and healthy ways to their real-life friendship challenges: emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. The following sections are found in each chapter: Candid quotes from women's lives introduce the variety of challenges. All are based on their friendship experiences, good and bad. The "Solution" section of each chapter offers professional insight and hands-on, practical strategies that bring new insights, and immediate help in changing unwanted habits. The bulleted action steps of "What You can Do" provide interesting choices that can be made to help minimize and prevent long-term difficulties over an issue with a friend. "When to Seek Further Help" is a checklist of behaviors that indicate when a woman may need more than this book can supply. "Soul Solutions" recognizes the ultimate guide for building and sustaining healthy realtionships is in reliance on God's guidance and grace. In this section, scripture and prayer guides encourage women to seek God and his solutions. "Friend-to-Friend Activites: Creative and fun ideas to enrich and rekindle valued friendships.
