Summary

Misunderstood by Florence Montgomery explores the psychological implications of parent-child relationships. Montgomery writes from the point of view of a young boy who lost his mother at a very early age. Excerpt: "Ever since the nursery dinner has the rain come pouring down all over the fields and meadows, the lawns and gardens, the roofs and gables of old Wareham Abbey, in the county of Sussex. Ever since the cloth was cleared away have two little curly heads been pressed close together at the nursery window, and two pair of eager eyes been watching the clouds and sky."

    Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
    WHAT IS TO BE OUR FUTURE?: Last Thursday afternoon I received a telegram from a gentleman stopping for a time in a city in Georgia, asking me to come there at once on important business; and being rather curious to know what he wanted of me, I went.

    She was once the best luxury car thief in the game. But Ava Frost paid a high price when her children were stolen. Forced to confront her ruthless ex-boss, Nick, she uncovered his devious silent partner in the kidnapping: her seemingly loving, seemingly wealthy husband, Kevin. Now Ava is making a new life with her children several states away from her former suburban life. She's also struggling to help her young son heal from their traumatic ordeal. So, when her soon-to-be ex-husband pressures her to return his part of the ransom, Ava pushes back … hard.

    Fighting may be your last move … 
      
    Now with the odds against her and time running out, Ava must marshal all her resources and formidable skills to defend everything she's fought to save. But when one last dangerous twist causes her plans to irrevocably crash-and-burn, she'll battle tooth and claw to put her pursuers on the run—straight into a trap so treacherous even she may have no chance to survive …

    Floyd Adams' proxy bride arrived amidst chaos, mayhem, and gunfire. 
    He knew nothing about the man who threatened to make Kathryn his own or take her life in the process. What Floyd did know was he would protect his bride, even if that meant putting his own life in danger. That was the cowboy way, after all. 
    Kathryn Allen married Floyd by proxy to distance herself from a relentless pursuer. One who had already shown his true colors. What she hadn't counted on was bringing danger to the Broken Arrow Ranch and putting everyone else in danger, including the wives and children who lived there. 
    Can these two strangers overcome the adversity they find themselves in? And will they find the happy ever after ending they so desperately seek? 
    Author's Promise: This is a heartwarming historical novella with a happy ever after ending and no cliffhangers. It is a clean and wholesome story with nothing more than hugs, kisses, and holding hands.
