Hazel Peabody is a ten year old girl living in New York City. One very rainy day, Hazel is stuck in her apartment with her cat Casper wondering if it will ever stop raining. She decides to look at the assignment her teacher, Mrs. Lovelock has given to her class. She discovers that her class has been asked to write a paper on the loch Ness monster. Hazel thinks this a crazy thing to ask her class to write about since "everyone knows that there's no such thing as the loch Ness monster." She decides instead to take a nap. Hazel is suddenly awakened by noises coming from her closet. It sounds like water dripping. She thinks that there must be a leak in the roof and that all her clothes will be ruined. She then hears what sounds like a whistle. Like that heard on an old naval ship. Hazel looks at her cat Casper and says, "now that's really weird." Hazel finally decides to open her closet door and see what's going on. She turns the knob and suddenly the doors blows off it's hinges with a great gust of wind. She and Casper hide under her bed. The next things she sees is her next door neighbor, Mr. Peachtree, dressed as a pirate. He has a patch over one eye and a wooden peg leg where his real leg used to be. Hazel asks him what he is doing in her closet, and why he is dressed the way he is. Mr. Peachtree tells her it's all part of the adventure to find the loch Ness monster. He tells her that a ship is waiting for them to board and be on their way. Hazel is a bit hesitant, but then she hears her friends Trudy and Poo calling her to join them from inside her closet. She decides that since her friends are on board, it must be okay. With that Hazel and Casper follow Mr. Peachtree across the threshold of her closet and onto the great ship Petunia. And so the adventure begins...

It's Christmastime. Snow covers the ground. Cardinals fly about Warwickshire. And Hazel is not giving up. Her mother has passed, her elder brother is missing, and she wants no part of her father's plans. He is much too angry for her to agree. Impulsive by nature with an aptitude for mischief, Hazel Ansbro finds herself in a predicament when her father, the local vicar, decides to try his hand at finding her another suitor. This would be his seventh attempt to do so. After finding a letter on his desk addressed to a family on the other side of town, she knows his plan: to send her off to learn proper manners. If it was up to her, she would never leave, especially with her younger brothers still around. Instead, she makes her own plan and begins her tirade of mischievous acts. It all begins with a dumped inkwell, hiding in a cabinet, and spying on a certain bookshop keeper. Will the dropping temperatures, her horse, a bookshop keeper, and holiday spirit calm her? Or will her father succeed? The question is answered. But how? A lavender rose, sermons, billiards, lemon tea, a community carol, and a certain gazebo may be the key to unlocking the betrayal, the sadness, and the fear lingering in her heart. Perhaps.

On October 15, 1954, Hurricane Hazel battered southern Ontario, leaving in its wake a terrible toll: thousands homeless, million in property damage, and, worst of all, 81 people dead. Hazel destroyed bridges, submerged towns, and drowned unsuspecting Ontarians in their homes and cars. Raymore Drive in Weston was decimated when the Humber River swelled by eight feet, taking the lives of 32 residents in only one hour. In Etobicoke, five volunteer firemen drowned while trying to reach marooned motorists. Towns and villages from Toronto north to Timmins felt Hazel’s fury. After the storm, people walked the now-surreal streets of their towns: cars upside-down and wrapped in power lines, iceboxes and dead cows hanging from trees, houses flattened, toys and furniture floating down the street. On the 50th anniversary of the storm, Jim Gifford has captured that fatal night in the voices of those who survived it, from residents who lived along the surging Humber River to a policeman who rescued families from their rooftops to firemen and Boy Scouts who searched for victims along the riverbanks. Including more than 100 never-before-published photographs, Hurricane Hazel: Canada’s Storm of the Century documents one of the worst natural disasters in Canadian history.

As one of the few early Korean foreign students in America, the author has attempted to describe his experience in America as a foreign student, and eventually as a naturalized Asian-American in the 'Melting Pot'that is called the American society. This book is also his Personal Testimonial, which attests to the fact that the author has not ever personally experienced any blatant Racial Discrimination against him in all of his fifty-years of living in these United States, as a student and as a professional person, from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Houston, Texas, and from Walla Walla, Washington to Gaithersburg, Maryland. "Through the author's own personal story, he felt compelled to tell the world that there are many happy minority immigrants' stories, in contrast to many of the complaints and polarizing arguments about how minority groups are discriminated against and are deprived of the opportunity to improve their lot by the majority group in American society." It is true also that there exists one form or another of prejudices and discriminations in the American society. However, it is this author's conviction and experience that there are no insurmountable obstacles for minority immigrants to achieve their dreams and goals in this promised-land of ours, if one strives hard enough. It is also the belief of this author that in order to fully appreciate the opportunities and to make the most of those opportunities, one must be assimilated into American society completely and whole-heartedly without reservation. This does not mean to lose one's heritage completely, but rather to contribute to the unique qualities of each heritage to making of the 'Whole' in the true spirit of our nation, 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.

"Irresistibly angsty...will keep historical romance fans hooked." —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Girls Before Earls is the delightful first novel in the Rogues to Lovers series from romance author Anna Bennett. WHAT A GIRL WANTS To survive her difficult childhood, Miss Hazel Lively relied on two things: a tough exterior and a love of books. Now, she’s realized her life-long dream of opening a school for girls. She’s hoping the wealthy families who summer at the shore will entrust their daughters to Bellehaven Academy—and help pay for less fortunate students. All Hazel must do is maintain a flawless reputation. It’s a foolproof plan...until a handsome earl strides into her office. WHAT AN EARL NEEDS Gabriel Beckett, Earl of Bladenton, has had a monstrous headache since the day his teenaged niece became his ward. She’s already been expelled from two London schools, but Blade is determined to enroll her at Bellehaven Academy, where she’ll be out of his hair. If only he can convince the buttoned-up—and unexpectedly intriguing—headmistress to take a risk. LEAD TO AN IRRESISTIBLE DEAL Blade makes an offer that’s impossible for Hazel to refuse, but she has one condition: the earl must visit his niece every other week. Soon, Blade discovers there’s more to Hazel than meticulous lessons. Their sparring leads to flirtation...and something altogether deeper. But the passion that flares between them poses a threat to Hazel’s school and Blade’s battered heart. They say a good thing can’t last forever, but true love? Well, it just might... "An utter delight until the very last page." —BookPage “A fantastic storyteller. —Fresh Fiction "This enjoyable tale of two people living full lives and finding unexpected love is a great kick-off for Bennett’s new Rogues to Lovers series.” —Booklist
