  As a widow with two-year-old twins and a struggling orchard, Rebecca King's dreams of expanding her business seem near impossible. To make matters worse, a troublesome string of destructive acts around Promise Glen threatens her roadside fruit and vegetable stand, forcing Rebecca to accept the help of her condescending new neighbor, Nathan Mueller. 
   
   
   
  Nathan didn't intend to offend Rebecca with his offer to share the stand, especially since he's a widower and single parent himself. He admires Rebecca's strength and kindness in the face of adversity. If only they hadn't started off on the wrong foot . . .  
   
   
   
  Despite their best efforts to shield their hearts, working side by side through the busy harvest plants the seeds of a budding friendship. But when the vandalism spreading through Promise Glen escalates to arson and rumors blaze through the town, they'll have to learn to rely on each other more than ever. As Thanksgiving approaches, Rebecca and Nathan are forced to reconcile with their own grief, forgive what can't be changed, and come to truly understand the core values of the holiday: love and gratitude.

  Just David is the story of David, an innocent and sweet little boy of 10 who is suddenly transplanted from a quiet, shut away world of music (he plays the violin) in the mountains with only his father for company, to the hustle and bustle of a normal small town. He is a boy filled with love of music and love of people. Yes, he has a good sweet heart and it comes through in this novel. Kind of like Pollyanna, it is a story of how he brings his own character, courage and happiness into the lives of the people he meets, and wins their love and respect. This was the best selling novel of 1916.

  You know you really made someone raging mad—when they try to kill you with a nuke. 
   
   
   
  Michael and those who follow him had reached a temporary safe base, but now those in power know his identity. 
   
   
   
  His people are in a race against time, and it's no longer a question of if they are going to be discovered—but when. 
   
   
   
  Opposing them are modern-day pirates, slavers, genocidal terrorists, drug cartels, and those who rule the Earth from the shadows. And every single one of them wants to see Michael dead. 
   
   
   
  When betrayal causes the death of someone close to him, he decides that diplomacy is far overrated. And sometimes crossing the line isn't enough; sometimes you need to demolish it to do what is right. So, set the Geneva Conventions on fire and punish the guilty, because sometimes, mercy is a luxury you cannot afford. 
   
   
   
  If pain and death are the only things his enemies know, then he will speak their language fluently. 
   
   
   
  Can they finish and launch the spaceship into orbit before time runs out? And what did the ancient aliens hide underneath the Pacific Ocean?

  First published in Science Fiction Stories (1953), "The Eyes Have It" is perhaps the shortest of Philip Dick's short stories. Although on the surface it appears to be a mere bagatelle, it is also a sophisticated exploration if the idomatic structures of the English language.
  It is in the form of a monologue by a narrator who wishes to warn us about an imminent alien invasion. He appears to be paranoid, but claims to have evidence, which has found in the text of a novel he recently found abandoned on the bus. However, when he begins to explain his "evidence," the reader realizes that the narrator is indeed paranoid, and that his paranoia is result of interpreting the metaphors of idiomatic English literally.
