Lucas Bonner was a dead man-at least to the lynch mob that had left him swinging from a tree. But a faulty noose had literally saved his neck, and he fled to the desert, his soul embittered by betrayal...Until he found Elena, the beautiful white captive whose life he would save...and whose love he could never have. Elena O'Toole's nightmare was nearly over. Soon she would be reunited with her family and her betrothed after years of being an Apache slave. And she owed it all to Lucas Bonner, the moody, silent drifter whose face begun to fill her dreams.

Historical mysteries abound--and why not? There’s such a large subject matter--not to mention characters--from which to draw. In Robert Lee Hall’s “Mudrder at Drury Lane,” we find none other than Benjamin Franklin “trodding the boards” and solving a mystery at the venerable Drury Lane Theatre in London. And for none other than David Garrick, London’s highest rated actor! Besides incorporating a special twist to American history, Hall adds another most interesting ingredient--the world of the theatre circa late 18th century!

Told in first person by young (and I mean very young!) Nick Handy, Franklin’s young (and I mean very young) secretary, ward, and constant companion, the story moves along at a rapid pace, as Hall seems to be able to present the period--and characters--in a most interesting manner and fashion.

Ben and Nick are engaged to find the murderer (or murderers) in a series of slayings that threaten to close down the theatre! Franklin uses his

incredible powers of logic and deduction to get at the bottom of this and before a “final curtain” is drawn, naturally, he solves the case. “Murder in Druy Lane” is the third in this series and a good one it is. A good blending of fact and fiction, coupled with a excellent portrayal of his characters, makes Hall’s book one not to be missed.

From laughter to tears and back again, and again. There is truly not enough to say about the author and her God given gifts she shares through Music Therapy. The book evidences the spiritual workings in lifes challenges and complexities that enable this author to touch, to empathise, to lessen pain, comfort families, bring joy, and to set to music a legacy for those walking through the fire. What an outstanding book of trial, coping, hope, love and triumph.

This very coloful, upbeat book appeals to the heart of every CF child and lets them know they are not alone. Joshua Grishaw is a gifted little boy.He writes about his dreams of being a superhero during the daytime while confronting the fears every CF child knows during the night. The illustrations are magical adding a lighthearted quality while dealing with a difficult subject. His family is obviously the most important thing in his life just like every other CF child's. My daughter keeps this sturdy book on its own shelf in her room. She doesn't know her Mom reads it as often as she does. It's good to know I'm not alone either.

Black Otter, Lenape chieftain, swore he'd return to his children, his land, his life. There was little to value in the white man's realm - except for one regal, openhearted woman of courage. Rowena alone gave him strength and hope - and awakened the possibility of love. Rowena Thornhill knew nothing of passion, her days being filled instead with study and family duty. But when she joined her fate with that of "her" captive, Black Otter, her proper English life became a whirlwind of danger and desire.

Rowena is a fabulous heroine and Black Otter is denfinatly a man I wouldn't mind being held captive by! I recommend this book to all romance readers--even if you haven't cared for historicals you will love this book- I kept forgeting I was reading a historical romance..it was that good! Order it today!

As an educator dealing with children in the public schools, I am finding this book to be very helpful to children of all ages. It helps them open up, recreate, and preserve memories in a personal and healthy way, fending off future problems brought on by avodiance. It is such an attractive, inviting book that it easily invites and invokes children to make it their own.

For thirty years, I had the pleasure of living in the house and hills described by Richard Lillard, a dear colleague and friend. His adaptation of Thoreau's technique in Walden is brilliant, a distillation of his many years living on Quito Lane (including some of mine) in a calendar of the seasons. The descriptions are precise, usually opening up into metaphors as adroit and revealing as those the master Thoreau managed in most of his "nature" writings. And like Thoreau, Richard had a wry sense of humor, often displayed by understatement or sly puns. The humanity of the man shimmers through the prose on every page, evoking the unique urban wilderness (five minutes from UCLA, where I taught) that defies so many stereotypes of Los Angeles and "Hollywood."

Technology has made it easier for employers to monitor and investigate employees' behavior - in turn, affecting morale and productivity. The Naked Employee offers an analysis of how technology is compromising workplace privacy, with chapters covering the social, legal and moral implications of different types of employee monitoring systems. From issues of employee privacy to the nuts and bolts of current investigative surveillance systems, this is packed with both social analysis and business insights.

Vernon Wharton's THE NEGRO IN MISSISSIPPI, 1865-1890 is an important work, greatly aiding in the understanding of that period of Southern history which we call Reconstruction. It is an excellent example of scholarship, dealing with wider issues than is indicated by the book's title. It is well-written, insightful, and valuable to anyone interested in the post-bellum South. Wharton's finest opus should be read by all students interested in history and race relations in the United States.
