  ♥ Welcome to Pemberton Manor: A place where misfits fit in, where normal is overrated, and where hope - and love - spring eternal. ♥ 
  Book 6: The Winter Wife 
  Sally Bishop thought her happily ever after would be all sunshine and roses. She fell in love with a flower farmer from sunny Southern California—how could it be anything else? But when a devastating diagnosis brings storm clouds and gray skies, Sally can’t help but feel like she’s come face to face with the barren landscape and hostile environment of the worst winter of her life. She’s never felt quite so isolated and lonely. 
  The apartment complex where the Bishops have taken temporary refuge, however, is full of other residents who know what it’s like to feel abandoned, rejected, or simply forgotten. And they’re not about to let Sally and Jason traverse this difficult season alone. Besides, spring is just around the corner… bringing new beginnings, silver linings, and above all, hope. 
  Pemberton Manor is as out of place in Southern California as its residents seem to be. But if home is where the heart is, then this English estate planted amidst orange groves and palm trees, deserts and beaches, and converted into ten charming apartments, is the perfect place to hang a hat. Fall in love with the quirky bunch of characters who call Pemberton Manor home. But be warned. Once you set foot inside these doors, you may never want to leave. 
  Pemberton Manor: The Winter Wife is a clean and wholesome novella in a series about family life, sweet romance, second chances, and HOPE-fully ever afters. If you enjoyed Becky Doughty's Elderberry Croft Collection, you'll feel right at home with the folks at Pemberton Manor.

  Damon Runyon Theater - That...

  The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour.  Damon Runyon is acknowledged as one of the great writers to come out of twentieth century America.  Runyon's short stories are almost always told in the first person by a narrator who is never named, and whose role is unclear; he knows many gangsters and has no job that can be gleaned from his musings, nor does he admit to any criminal involvement; He’s a bystander, an observer, an average street-corner Joe.  Runyon described himself as "being known to one and all as a guy who is just around".  That line seems to say a lot about Runyon and his life.  It was like you were with him on some street corner hustle or some shady dive and he was filling you in on all the angles, all the gossip, all of life. He was who so many people wanted to be with……or so many people wanted to be.  Of course, the cliché about newspapermen and writers is that they are heavy drinkers, chain-smokers, gamblers and obsessively chase women with a sideline in the gathering of stories and facts and actually getting something written just before the deadline hits. That seems like Damon Runyon and his life summed up in one sentence.  His stories became legendary ways of looking that bit differently at America, of soaking up the atmosphere of a glamorous and rip-roaring age and distilling it into the black and white type or, in our case, The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour.
