Sinopsis

Consider this, then, the antithesis of a Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce campaign, an attempt to set the record straight. No judgment, merely a forthright account of what might have been observed during an innocent bystander’s own peculiar experience growing up there in the late fifties through the sixties, when it was abandoned for more enlightened climes, i.e., the city.” Excerpted from All Is Not Well.

All Is Not Well is the story of a town, a sheriff, and a precocious young girl as she matures into womanhood. The girl is a once in a generation athlete, able to beat most of the boys in any sport of their choosing, therefore shunned by the boys who are intimidated by her, and the girls because she is not interested in girly-girl things. She faces a life-altering event at nineteen, and the rest of the story tells how she reacts to this, with the town and the sheriff playing their part in it, and finally finds closure.

David Copperfield

Charles Dickens

This deeply moving coming-of-age novel by Charles Dickens follows the life of a sensitive boy born into hardship and shaped by loss, cruelty, and neglect. Torn from childhood security and forced into harsh schools and grueling labor, he learns early about betrayal, injustice, and loneliness. Yet beneath the suffering grows a steady resilience and a longing for a life guided by kindness, purpose, and self-respect. 
As he matures, his journey unfolds through a vivid world of friendship, deception, ambition, love, and disappointment. He encounters generosity beside greed, loyalty beside manipulation, and hope beside despair. Dreams of success pull him forward, even as mistakes and misplaced trust repeatedly test his heart and judgment. Every relationship leaves a mark, teaching painful lessons about trust, pride, forgiveness, and the true cost of emotional blindness. 
Through struggle, endurance, and hard-won self-knowledge, Charles Dickens shapes a powerful portrait of identity, growth, and moral awakening. The novel explores childhood, class, love, failure, and the long effort to become one’s true self. It is a rich and compassionate meditation on how suffering can shape character—and how perseverance can slowly transform pain into purpose.

Dominica Blue - A Jesse...

Wayne Stinnett

Jesse McDermitt has done it. He has escaped the ugliness so pervasive in modern society, and along with his family and a few close friends, they have set out aboard a boat he designed himself for living long periods totally off the grid. 
The first couple of months are peaceful, uneventful, and by today's standards, quite boring. But the crew of Taranis have the sun, sea, and quiet coves to explore, where there aren't even any footprints in the sand. 
Until they reach their destination. 
The island of Dominica, in the middle of the Leeward Islands, rises straight up out of the Caribbean, with volcanic peaks shrouded in mist from the many steam vents and Boiling Lake itself. 
Little does McDermitt know, but the island is also a staging area for drugs and arms coming up out of South America. When a group of men on a luxury cruising yacht reveal clues as to who they really are, Jesse handles things in his trademark fashion... murder and mayhem in paradise.
