Her name belongs to a dead woman. She’s hiding from a man who’d like to see her dead. And her neighbor wants to steal her heart… Weary and scared, Abigail Muncy arrives on the stagecoach in London, Kentucky. For years now, she’s looked over her shoulder, always expecting trouble to come riding over the horizon. When it does, she’s forced to flee her home once again. Tired of running, she’s hoping to make it far enough away from the past this time to be safe from discovery once and for all. Phillip Wells is a man looking to settle down, ready to consider marrying again following the loss of his beloved wife. When he meets his charming new neighbor, his heart sits up and takes notice. But it soon becomes apparent that Abby is carrying a weight on her heart, one that might be too heavy to allow for that second chance Phillip is longing to have. He can only hope that he’s strong enough to help Abby fight her ghosts so that they can go forward with living together.

Once a person hikes a long trail, they catch the bug, but does it get any easier the second time around? Four years after starting the Appalachian Trail with his brother, Brian takes to the Continental Divide Trail for his second thru-hike in familiar company. However, trail life is not always as rewarding and romantic as the pictures you see or second-hand stories you hear. "Divided" provides an accurate account of life on trail: what hikers ponder, eat, love, loathe, and the questions they tire of answering. Some moments are too short, some are painfully long while others are whisked away unceremoniously with the wind. Follow along on the journey as Brian navigates difficulties, successes and everything between while attempting to walk from Mexico to Canada.

The idea of this book took root about fifty years ago. A 6-year old boy, taking a walk with his father in a city park, called out, "Daddy, look in this hole. There is an acorn and a pinecone. They must be friends," AND THEY ARE! IN: THE ADVENTURES OF ACORN AND PINECONE. These stories, told to dozens of "little people," since then, give human names to many creatures, both above and below ground. Some of them are: Mrs. Fruitsnips, Father Corn, Tessy Termite, Roly Poly and Mayor Catalpa. Each story carries an imbedded moral and/or ethical value. It is humorous, serious and wonderfully illustrated, and a complete fantasy from the mind of the author who is now 87 and the father of that little boy.

Five-Star Trails: Raleigh and Durham is a guide to the best day-hiking trails within a two-hour drive of the urban areas of Raleigh and Durham. Raleigh is North Carolina's capital and an anchor for the state's famous Research Triangle that includes Durham and Chapel Hill. Amid this metropolitan complex that also embraces Cary, Apex, and Wake Forest--home to more than 1.7 million people--the author leads readers to myriad places for scenic beauty, to sites of historic significance, and to neighborhoods that showcase the charms of urban life. All of the routes stay true to the book's "Five-Star Trails" title, based on the book series' rating system for scenery, trail condition, suitability for children, difficulty level, and solitude. To be selected for the book, each trail must truly shine in one or more of those areas while, at the same time, all of the trails combine to offer diversity for a wide range of hikers. Thus, this is the guidebook for a hiker seeking an arduous climb to a scenic overlook as much as it is for a weekend walker who wants an easy trail for his or her family.
