They'll also follow the adventures of fictional Warriors like Amelia, a New York teenager, and Simona, a roman country girl, who consort with real-life transfigured beings with "superhero" powers -- the Three Nephites. This epic 2000-year  saga features immortal love stories, cataclysmic clashes between Good and Evil, and pivotal history-changing events as the world careens toward the End of Days.

  Martha (Patty) Jefferson is often seen as little more than a background figure overshadowed by her husband's political, literary, and scientific achievements. Dear Companion, by contrast, vividly depicts a wife, mother, and busy mistress of a plantation. We come to know the Jeffersons as a young couple very much in love and share in all the joys and sorrows of their ten-year marriage.Although presented as historical fiction, this biography is actually reconstructed from the author's past-life recall. Ms. Neff's intense familiarity with the period enables her to bring wonderfully to life a time and family that will be forever of interest to all Americans.

  When a young boy and his father, a master gunner, leave their home in Devon they cannot know that piracy will become their life, for a while, at least.
