Kelly has survived many tragedies, till she is tested again, but as luck would have it, she finds a wounded U.S. Marshal on her doorstep. He brings with him a past and his own personal demons. Surviving the winter storm will either break them or bring them together, but trusting him with her heart is not as easy. Mason has known many women, but Kelly shows strength and courage when he knows she is scared. Maybe he can break down her walls and teach her to love him just as he is . . . as a simple man . . . not a half-breed man of the law. Many changes will happen when the storm hits; it's up to these two to survive it together or alone.
The Door of the Heart By Diana Finfrock Farrar Tammy is the wife of Ed Sloan, a prominent figure in the Texas political scene who is struggling over the fallout of the bullying of gay student Jamie ODell, which also involved Sloans son. The issue sends shockwaves through the lives of Ed and his colleagues, friends, and family, especially Tammy, who begins to consider gay rights from a new angle. The author follows Tammys journey as the once-dutiful wife and mother opens her heart to Jamies mother and slowly stands up against anti-gay views, both at home and in public. This book brings gay issues home and depicts the mental and emotional work people must do to change their views and accept each other. The story is rooted in faith from a range of perspectives, showing how Christianity can both harden and open peoples hearts. Although a work of fiction, this novel is based upon true stories and current events, and endnotes throughout the text and a list of LGBT resources shine a light on the book for the educational tool that it can be. But Farrars openhearted willingness to be gentle to her characters is sure to make the book appealing to a broad audience, especially to people of faith struggling to understand the intersection between LGBT issues and their beliefs. This novel explores faith, gay issues, and standing up for what is right. It is an emotional and open-minded read for everyone.

After more than 20 years of research, the author was finally able to pull together more than 70,000 descendants of William Morss (b. in the 1600s) and his wife Elizabeth. By tracking the descendants of Anthony Morse of Essex County, MA she can identify more than 70,000 descendants. Many of these lines had been lost to history, including a more recent one of Joseph Willis Morse, whose son founded the precursor to the magazine "Vanity Fair" in Atlantic City. His son had '9' sons, each with large families of their own, none of whom were listed in the traditional histories. And so the search began.. Browse the names of the first 6 generations of descendants of Stephen Morse of Essex Co., MA. More will be published in the future, but books can only be so many pages. Volume 2 will include the story of Hugo Von Mors, the descendant of a noble Flanders family and a Knights Templar.

The parish registers of St. James Parish on Herring Creek in Anne Arundel, MD - established 1692 - have long been out-of-print. Because of this, the author has transcribed the parish records books of the St. James Parish, along with those in Christ Church, West River, and Cliffs. All are in Anne Arundel County, MD and include dates back to the middle 1600's through the 1700s. There are two (2) sections to this book. The first is an index of all the individuals, birth, marriage and death dates along WITH their spouse's name. At the center of the book is the index for Part 1. Part 2 gives basically the same information but includes the place of birth, marriage and death, WITHOUT the names of their spouses. The index at the end of the book is for Part 2. To place these names into family groups, please see ancestry.com for the family file called Anne-Arundel.

How do you become influential? What are the qualities that ensure people are drawn to you? And how do you develop these? Personal experience is the raw material for building executive presence. Viewed as "touchy feely," intangible and invisible, most leaders separate their personal lives from their professional ones. Executive coach Diana Jones argues that this is unwise. In fact, the "soft side" of leadership - empathy, compassion, and authentic communication derived from personal experience - is both powerful and essential to enhancing executive presence, influencing others and achieving results. Through compelling stories and examples from Jones's coaching sessions, readers will learn how to make enduring behavioral changes that will produce better business results and create alignment among disparate groups using empathy and leadership language.
