DOWNLOAD EBOOKLARGE PRINT EDITION! Kendra Blevins Ford has assembled the previously untold story of the Navy's first poster girl, a veteran of both world wars, through the recent transcription of long-forgotten audio cassette tapes recorded back in the 1980s. This debut work showcases an interesting parallel of two lives lived nearly a century apart, now coming together to share a unique story of grit and resilience. Filled with familial historical data, this literary treasure takes the reader back to the beginning of the 20th century where a simple California ranch life formed the future courageous woman who yearned to join the Navy during World War I. The story of how she came to the Naval Recruitment Station to enlist- only to be told, "No," and asked to pose for a navy poster illustrator instead, is a highlight of this book. Readers will be charmed and inspired by the no-nonsense prose of the woman who was told "No," yet found ways to serve mankind both in the military and as a civilian. She experienced "all the feels" of pain, sadness, and disappointment yet found strength and joy from within and lived her life to the fullest.

Mo Said She Was Quirky begins on Helen’s way home from work, with the strangest of moments when a skinny, down-at-heel man crosses the road in front of her and appears to be her lost brother. What follows is an inspired and absorbing story of twenty-four hours in the life of a young woman.

Mesmerizing. Unforgettable." — Gillian Flynn In the summer of 1999, Kit and Laura travel to a festival in Cornwall to see a total eclipse of the sun.

But in the hushed moments after the shadow passes, Laura interrupts a man and a woman. She knows that she saw something terrible. The man denies it. It is her word against his. The victim seems grateful. Months later, she turns up on their doorstep like a lonely stray. But as her gratitude takes a twisted turn, Laura begins to wonder—did she trust the wrong person? 15 years later, Kit and Laura married are living under new names and completely off the digital grid: no Facebook, only rudimentary cell phones, not in any directories. But as the truth catches up to them, they realize they can no longer keep the past in the past. From Erin Kelly, queen of the killer twist, He Said/She Said is a gripping tale of the lies we tell to save ourselves, the truths we cannot admit, and how far we will go to make others believe our side of the story.
