Finding Eliza by Stephanie Pitcher Fishman

Leave a Comment

“About Finding Eliza:

“It’s just a little family history. What could go wrong?”

When Lizzie Clydell agreed to join her grandmother at the church’s genealogy group meeting she expected nothing more than lemon squares and a few stories. Instead, an old diary leads Lizzie down a dusty road of lies, hidden family secrets, and a lynching that nearly destroyed her family.

Still strug­gling with the loss of her parents two decades ear­lier, Lizzie must con­front a painful past that others hoped was forgotten. Her journey becomes even more difficult as she realizes those around her may not be as they seem.

Can Lizzie make peace with the past or will it destroy the relationships she holds most dear?

Joining her is a group of lifelong friends known to Lizzie as The Gals. Headed up by her own grandmother, the group of women guide her through the past with humor, encouragement, and tough love as she learns about grace and forgiveness.

Set in small-town Georgia, Finding Eliza is a contemporary story with flashes of his­tor­i­cal fic­tion as Lizzie digs into 1930s segregation, illegal interracial relationships, and the fear of the KKK.

Rise to Power by Uvi Poznansky

Leave a Comment

“About Rise to Power:

Here is the story of David as you have never heard it before: from the king himself, telling the unofficial version, the one he never allowed his court scribes to recount. Rooted in ancient lore, his is a surprisingly modern memoir.

Notorious for his contradictions, David is seen by others as a gifted court entertainer, a successful captain in Saul’s army, a cunning fugitive, a traitor leading a gang of felons, and a ruthless raider of neighboring towns who leaves no witnesses behind. But how does he see himself, during this first phase of his life?

With his hands stained with blood, can he find an inner balance between conflicting drives: his ambition for the crown, his determination to survive the conflict with Saul, and his longing for purity, for a touch of the divine, as expressed so lyrically in his psalms?

If you like ancient historical fiction about court intrigue, this king David novel has a modern twist like no book you have read before.

“About Wooden Nickels:

It’s 1920’s Baltimore. Prohibition. Those who sell and distribute liquor can become rich — or dead if the mob doesn’t get their cut. The gangsters have taken over, and in organized crime the one weapon valued more than a Tommy gun is a mage. Welcome to the world of White Lightning.

A moonshine runner.
A mage for the mob.
And more misfortune than a blow-down at the speakeasy.

Hattie Malloy has two goals in life—get the hootch from warehouse to seller, and make sure no one finds out she can conjure illusions. But when her shipment of rum is attacked by pirates on the Chesapeake Bay and she needs to call on the mob for help, those two goals collide. Suddenly the safety of her family and friends rests on her helping a group of gangsters that she wants nothing to do with.

The mob is the only family that time pincher Vincent Calendo has ever known. When his boss Vito says he wants to expand his “stable” of mages, Vincent is tasked with finding unaffiliated, or free, pinchers and bringing them into the fold—willingly or not.

Can Hattie keep her talents a secret from Vincent or will she lose the freedom her parents have sacrificed everything to give her?

About Bittersweet:

What can Bryce Ackerman do when he returns home from a long business trip to find his fiancee, Aimee, pregnant and her family blaming him? This is 1872 and gentlemen bankers like Bryce, with a Quaker mother, do not have sex before marriage.

The unbelievable truth is that a group of army officers, guests in Aimee’s home, held a competition between themselves to see how many young women they could ‘deflower’ in their own homes. As the appalling tale unfolds and the number of violated young women is discovered a furious Bryce swears revenge. AImee won’t marry him now, and there is no way he can get justice from those officers in England without ruining the young women in society’s eyes. But he could follow the regiments to India and extract justice over there.

Bryce sails to India and discovers that the officers will do anything to avoid retribution and he finds himself involving others, putting them in harm’s way. He also has to face himself in exotic and erotic India where sexual temptations are on offer. Can he extract justice for those young women and bring a sense of closure to them all?

Featured Post: Jacob’s Justice by p.d.r. lindsay

Leave a Comment

About Jacob’s Justice:

It’s 1642, and England is tearing itself apart. King against Parliament, King against religion, Parliament and Puritans against the King, politics and power heading for disaster.

Twenty-three year-old Jacob Emerick, the youngest son of the Merchants Emerick, shipping owners, and their legal man, is sent on a lawyer’s mission to save the family’s gold and ships. He leaves cosmopolitan London for the narrow minded small Puritan town in Kent, where he must negotiate with the aristocratic Fowke family who want their loan paid back now, despite what the legal agreement says. The Fowkes want to give the money to the King. Corrupt King Charles wants the family’s fortune, and loyalists to the King will do anything to help their despot. The extremist Puritans want the money and the Emerick ships too. Neither party cares how they get hold of the money and ships and Jacob is in the middle.

His journey barely begun, at a resting place on the trail Jacob finds the dead body of the Fowke lawyer with whom he was to work. It’s a plain case of murder, and Jacob becomes the prime suspect. Jacob has to free himself from that charge, and fend off the treachery of Lady Fowke, staunch supporter of the King, as well as the attempts of bigoted Puritans to take control of the Emerick ships.

Jacob navigates through the attentions of other loyalist thugs who ravage and murder, and the bigoted Puritans, who are just as determined to use his family’s gold. In a few short months Jacob sheds the easy bravado of a privileged young man to become a powerful fighter for justice, and his own man hoping for peace.

Featured Post: Ancient Ways: The Roots of Religion by Diane Olsen

Leave a Comment

About Ancient Ways: The Roots of Religion:

“An insightful and well-considered concept – the idea of a connective thread of monotheistic faith throughout the history of mankind is most compelling!” Editorial: -Historian Gretchen Ames

“In order to enjoy this book, you may have to suspend current beliefs, since some of the concepts may seem quite foreign at first. What if monotheism always existed, and revelations were given to all human forms. There are hints to that effect!”

Too often we tweak religion to reflect our personal thoughts rather than dealing directly with the Word of God. Monotheism, today is represented by at least nine living faiths yet praying to God alone is not enough for many. Instead we pray to Prophets, angels, saints, ancestors, deities, even the universe.

This creates a chain of “Paths” and “Ways” which become stained, over time, by human desires for control and material benefits. And as darkness and materialism overtake one Faith, another is born, through the intervention of the Holy Spirit, which is clothed in a different form, with a new name, and very familiar teachings.

Like the Tree of Life, monotheism can be visualized as a chain linking prehistory and history, entwined with human additions, wisps, and twists that produce an undulating, ultimate Yin and Yang. This constant interaction of complementary, as well as conflicting, forces and energies, exhibits both organic unity and dynamism even war. Those who suspect there is a unified core of basic beliefs should enjoy Ancient Ways. Hopefully you will find precious gems to take with you.
