  Oregon, 1925. Like his semi-reclusive parents, ten-year-old George Graham doesn’t have friends, preferring to live inside the safe and predictable world of his books. This all changes when his classmate Louise Pearson, new to town, befriends him. Curious about his family’s secrets, and with plenty of her own, the pair become an irrepressible, inseparable team, bantering and bickering their way through what turns out to be an unforgettable summer. 
  Louise's quick brain puts together the scattered clues she and George scrounge up about his parents' past. They discover that George's dad has another family back in England—a wife and four daughters—and that he's still sending them almost every penny he earns. Hoping for answers, Louise writes to the eldest of George's half-sisters, Susan, never expecting Susan herself to turn up on the family doorstep unannounced. And all the long-held family secrets begin to unravel.

  Some call it the most dangerous stagecoach in the West. But the hard-driving owners of the Frontier Overland Company will get you where you want to go—if you don't mind a detour through hell . . .  
   
   
   
  The Civil War is over. But Wyoming Territory is still a battleground for the native tribes who live there. Most folks avoid the area like the plague. But not former Texas Ranger Butch Keeler and his saloon fight buddy Tucker Cobb. They figured Wyoming would be the perfect place to launch the Frontier Overland Company—a rough-and-ready stagecoach operation that dares to go where others fear to tread. Butch and Cobb aren't afraid of much—but their next stagecoach trip could change all that. And it just might be their last . . .  
   
   
   
  The passengers are good people: Colonel McBride, who's delivering much-needed supplies to Fort Washington, and his lovely niece, who wants to visit her dying father. Even though the road to get there is overrun with armed Lakota, Cheyenne, and other deadly threats, Butch and Cobb are determined to help an old friend. Problem is, their worst enemy—a power-hungry business rival and self-described "King"—is out there. Waiting for them. Laying a trap to destroy their operation. And plotting to burn everything to the ground. Over Butch and Cobb's dead bodies . . .

  Agnes of Sorrento - Savonarola's...

  Harriet Beecher Stowe

  A convent girl in fifteenth-century Sorrento, an outlawed young nobleman, and Savonarola preaching in Florence while the Borgias hold Rome. Stowe wrote it after traveling in Italy, ten years after Uncle Tom's Cabin, as the Civil War began at home, and used the same instrument on a different subject: what a church is for when the men running it have stopped believing. Sixty plates of Venetian canals and cloisters by Canaletto and Guardi carry the story's church-and-sea atmosphere across four centuries of painting.
