At times Emma's curiosity was so great that it tormented her. Not knowing the whereabouts of her parents left Emma feeling lonely at times. Her only solace was getting immersed in books, where she was able to assume any character she wished and fabricate imaginary relationships she so desired. Although, Aunt Lou has always been there for Emma, not having her biological parents at her graduation stirred emotions that left Emma confused. The bizarre events during her celebration lead to her meeting "KJ", who later becomes her savior and mentor. Emma's lack of identity and being at the wrong place at the right time is the key to her relationship with KJ. One day while gazing through her window, Emma noticed an elegant lady sitting on the park bench. Emma, a fashion designer at heart, is attracted by the lace on the lady's blouse. At first glance, she appears to be an elderly lady from a wealthy family. However, seeing her repeatedly, Emma wondered if she had any family, or friends to call her own.

Volume I records a revised record of the Gould and Talkington lines of the Hope Gould Robinson lineage. Altogether this has been the completion of a thirty-one year project, which has involved many miles of travel, endless correspondence, quests for lost relatives, a reexamination of history, and searches for lost documents and records. The work is still not complete, but it does provide a record that would have been lost in the annals of time. Within these family records are stories upon which some future family writer and historian could produce an epic on the westward movement and the fulfillment of the American dream.

I'm glad the lighthouse wasn't the keeper's home ... it was very cold ... there were photos on the walls that told us about ... shipwrecks ... We couldn't go into the tower, but I wasn't too disappointed ... that would be where a ghost would be hiding ... When a little boy reluctantly travels from Arizona to Oregon to visit a lighthouse, he eventually realizes that the towers that light the way for ships are more fascinating than he ever imagined. In Diaries of Lighthouse Children, Janet Bauer shares a collection of tales that allows others to experience the history and beauty of lighthouses through the eyes of children. In this delightful compilation of six short stories that include fascinating facts about each lighthouse, a boy who wants to become a detective helps protect the lighthouse from vandals; a lonely boy befriends an American Indian boy and learns about whaling; and a bashful girl survives the terror of Tsunami wave to help others. As each child explores a lighthouse, each learns valuable life lessons that teach compassion, appreciation, and the importance of treasuring family memories. Diaries of Lighthouse Children is a perfect companion for anyone captivated by the history behind lighthouses.

This book was created to help fill a void in the preparation and cooking of wild game. I got very tired of eating the same old thing every hunting season and when eating at someone else's home. Many cookbooks only have maybe one or two recipes on venison, and nothing on many of the other critters that scurry about in the forest. After all our forefathers ate them, why not us too?

The DeWitt genealogy is a fascinating study of 26 generations of the family from 1293 to the present. This work is the collaboration of descendants of the three children of Leucas, ninth child of Tierck Clafsen DeWitt. American Ambassador Lester DeWitt Ballor of UEL descent obtained a copy from The Royal Library of the Hague of Beschayving DerStad Dordrecht by Mattys Balen, Jans Zoon published in 1677. This information provided the first thirteen generations in Holland. He also received a 32-page copy of a lawsuit in 1684 by Jan DeWitt on behalf of his brother Tierck for rent owned by Pieter Janz, their sister Faelde's husband. The property was land inherited by Tierck from his father Nicholaas. It provided information on her mother Taetje Cornelisz, her father, brothers and their shipyard.

A Matter of Compulsion is the true, poignant and often humorous story of a family's struggle to survive in Northern Alberta during the Depression.

For many millenia the gods have been playing their game. With the humanoids as their ponds the great chess match between the seven children of the creator ignored their mother's hints at her dissatisfactions. They continued to move forward as they believed only in themselves. Mother Gia could see it spiraling out of control. Then, when the blood of an Ancient One was spilled, she became boiled in rage. A rage that moved her to react like they had never seen before. The "Game of the Gods" was about to change. Seven perfect game pieces were created. Seven humanoids made to represent the gods in a final show down, and Mother Gia watching in the shadows, refereeing the match as she trembled to see what advantage she could use to bring balance back to the universe! A balance that if not met, could destroy the very fabric of time and space. An ultimate dictate that Mother Gia would achieve. If not, she was ready to start over. She even was considering the elimination of her children, as well as, the entire universe. The mortals' very existence rested with these seven game pieces, as well!

Andrij immigrated to Canada just before the Great Depression. His ancestral village, located in Eastern Poland, was burned to the ground at the end of World War II. Why and by whom?
