After the death of Elisabeth Florentine Homrighausen Wetter on April 29, 1828, the adult Wetter children were anxious to forge a new life even if it meant taking chances. The presence of political unrest, famine, cholera epidemics, the desire to own land, economic depression, lack of religious freedom, military service and other factors influenced 19th century transatlantic auswandering about 1816. Little is known of their voyage or of their first two years in Baltimore. They eventually settled into their new life in America. Gabriel and Elisabeth would eventually produce a daughter that would marry into the Launspach heritage. It is because of Herman and Catherine's letters that Gabriel and Elisabeth were also enticed to head for America.
Reluctant psychic Charlie Greene is called on to solve the case when a horror-film director gets the ax—and Charlie’s mother is the prime suspect Between doing lunches, making deals, and being a full-time single mom, Hollywood literary agent and part-time psychic Charlie Greene doesn’t have time to solve crimes. But when the number-one suspect in the murder of schlock horror director Gordon Cabot is her menopausal mother, Charlie suddenly finds herself a major player in a real-life movie more shocking than any screenwriter could have dreamed up. Cabot’s callous disregard for the teeming plant life and critters serving as extras in his overbudget new film has made him plenty of enemies, including Charlie’s mother, a biology professor specializing in rodents of the high-desert plateau. In spite of their volatile relationship, Charlie’s certain that her mother’s hot flashes have nothing to do with the corpse chilling out in this remote stretch of Utah desert, and to clear her mom’s name, Charlie teams up with swoonworthy superstar environmentalist Mitch Hilsten. Amid warring film crews, wild cliff glides, and fears that Charlie’s agency is going under, she and Mitch race to catch a cunning killer of the lethal, two-legged variety in this electrifying novel.

Life is never smooth, never. It continually finds rivers to cross, mountains to climb, deserts to endure, storms to survive. We can feel like sheep without a shepherd. Fortunately, experiencing joy does not require the absence of pain. If it did, none of us could enjoy eating ice cream cones! Through her many stories, Marlys helps you see Jesus as the Good Shepherd who truly cares for His sheep. This book is the result of many requests from high school math students and adults to get the stories into print, for they are faith-encouraging stories. As the book touches on faith struggles, eating disorders, marital strife, grief in loss, and everyday challenges, the underlying theme is hope and restoration. God's grace, in the form of strength and joy, pierces through the darkest moments in life. Though the topics sound heavy, the writing is lighthearted and fun to read. Laughing through the stories, you will feel a hug from God as you absorb His truths.
