Historians have devoted much time and effort investigating Henry Plummer, the sheriff of Bannack, Montana, who was hanged by vigilantes on a bitter, cold January night in 1864. Henry's life tells the tale of a lawless West and the untamed, violent mining towns of the 1800s where shootouts and duals rule and life is worth only a handful of gold. Henry, a well-educated and handsome man, soft-spoken and refined, appears dedicated to the law but is capable of instantly shooting a man dead. When Henry Plummer becomes sheriff in Bannack in 1863, he has killed five men in self-defense. Hunger for gold dust brings every manner of men and with them come more robberies and murders. Rumors and suspicion become rampant, leaving no one untouched, including Henry Plummer, a man swept along by the tides of his time.

Quinn, Nellie's husband, becomes one of the many fatalities after saving twenty-five fellow miners. Nellie must call upon all her strength, faith, and hope as she waits to hear the fate of her beloved. Based on an extraordinary true story, The Price of Copper is meticulously researched and beautifully rendered-a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit.
"I Existed" is a very compelling story, lots of plot twists and waves of emotions...suicide, incest, teenage pregnancy, rage, love, hate, forgiveness...The author pretty much covered it all! It is an easy read but I have to be honest, I'm not sure I like the ending I understand the point the author made, but it left me with no closure. All in all, I enjoyed reading the book but did not find it difficult to read because of the subject matter. If the author took thestory line and wrapped it around the decision during the weeks prior to her decision, that option is a viable one, From my perspective, the idea of abortion at the point of delivery is not even a possibility. - Marty Cline
Originally, "The Whispering Woods" started out as a single work. However, friends encouraged me to continue it as a series. What started out as one work quickly became a trilogy. It was my intention to write each piece independent of one another. That is, the reader did not have to read one without reading the other. Publishers encouraged me to combine all three works into one. "The Mitchells' Mystery," as it is now known, is a murder mystery. A serial-killer is on the loose. The tranquility of a wooded area has been compromised. Twenty plus bodies have been unearthed beneath its foliage. Detectives are quick to respond and unravel these crimes against humanity. There is one problem. One is potentially the killer. In the end, it is for the reader to decide. In the end, there are more questions than answers. "The Mitchells' Mystery" leads itself to the possibility of another sequel.
In assessment of these elderly women, one deduces that, they really liked the Islamic religion. But, it was not the religion that helped to extend their life expectancy. But, it is their way of protecting their lives. They avoided high risk life style and enjoyed a more solitary life. In every religion, beliefs and cultural regions are surviving and long lasting survivors who are not traditionally Islam. Take a district of Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda California. This group of believers, practices literally the same diet like the Islamic faith. They too, do, not eat pork diet neither eat meat of any form. The study made a few years ago (25) years precisely found that, their life expectancy was much longer than the national average. The same studies ranked to that from the studies made of the State of Utah from the Women's movements. They also avoid diet with meat and alcoholics. Their life expectancy though, is much lower than the Seventh day Adventists of California, they still rank higher. Of course, public health standards began with nations such as Egypt, Mesopotamian and all countries around Mediterranean Sea. Many of them were of course Islamic beliefs, but their infant mortality is much higher than the Western World.

Heartbroken after losing her favorite brother and sister, Abi visits her brother's grave, sharing her doubts and worries just as she had done when he was alive.

Abi narrates the story of a large family and its triumphs and sorrows as they carry on during a war that changed the world and their lives forever.
Whispers in the Willows is about people who exaggerate the truth without truly exploring the truth. Jesus clearly declares to His followers to "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." (Matthew 7:1-2 NKJV) Based on this simple statement, Whisper in the Willows depicts the people of a small Midwest town who are so ensnared in spreading rumors about an elderly gentleman who lives at the end of a dead-end street, they never take time to learn the history of this old man. It is not until a young couple moves into an old farm house next to this old-timer, Woody, that they begin to unearth the secrets of his past and resulting pains. In the process, the couple, as well as the rest of the townspeople, come to appreciate Woody for all that he contributed to the community; as well as coming together to help bury his pains of antiquity.
