If This Porch Could Talk was written when Arlene was ninety-five years old and takes place in the 1990s--a kinder, gentler time, a golden era that we will never know again. Arlene relied on stories recorded in journals that she has kept for many years, providing a wealth of memories to draw from. Her story is centered around the historical background of her beloved hometown of Flint, Michigan. It is a tapestry of real life--sincere, heartfelt, a sweet, nostalgic story. It was 1995 when Arlene and her husband Jack purchased a home in Mott Park, Flint, Michigan, for a summer home. They embarked on a restoration project, refreshing the home. A Victorian porch was added across the front of the home, and many conversations took place on that porch. Some stories are humorous, others are sad. It celebrates memories of her family, days that she thought were ordinary. Looking back, they seem extraordinary. A great deal of Flint history is recorded. Some of the stories relate to things that are only memories such as Christmas shopping in Flint's magical downtown, dining at the Carriage Room on Smith-Bridgman's mezzanine, and the old farmers market. Other stories describe traditions that continue to this day--the Old Newsboys Sale, Applewood and the Sloan Summer Fair. Other historical topics touched on include the brick street in the downtown area, the metal arches proclaiming Flint as the Vehicle City, Glenwood Cemetery, and the Whaley House, among others. The flashbacks are interesting and beautifully written. Live again a thrilling performance of the Shrine Circus through Arlene's vivid description. You are there! Arlene has a way of painting a picture with words. You feel as though you are right beside her. If you enjoyed her debut book, Homemade Noodles & Cars, you're sure to treasure this one too. Her story is uplifting and leaves you with hope in your heart.

After hearing her friends speak, saying that their male friend had been abused by his wife, Marla asked, "Can men get abused too?" Kelly shouted out, "I knew it! I knew it!" Marla dropped her head down, and Kelly said, "I knew that you were carrying a lot of baggage. You have been in an abusive relationship, haven't you?" Marla dropped her head down. Kelly walked over to where Marla was sitting and lifted her head up in her hand, tears running down Marla's face. Kelly said, "Don't hold your head down. I was you at one time, and now I'm a survivor. People would hear and see that man beat me, and not one time would they help me. I ask the good Lord plenty of times what I did wrong to be treated like this, and you know what he said? He said I did nothing – nothing wrong. And I packed my bag the next week and left while he was at work. Marla said in a low voice, "That's what I did. I left while he was at work."

Generations of family life and childhood fantasy intertwine on the front porch of an old house in this historical novel of mystery and memorabilia. Mike’s house has been in the family since it was built by his great-great grandfather Archibald in 1895. Its rich history is put on display every year on the Fourth of July, when the family memorabilia is laid out for their annual reunion. Each event is a time to add new items and remember times gone by. And for children, it’s time to play pretend out on the big front porch. Over the years, generations of children have imagined their futures on that porch. Sara pretends to nurse her Spanish-American war soldiers; Matt “flies” his Tinker Toy plane to Antarctica; and Jake loses himself in reading to escape the confines of his wheelchair. Then, using Jake’s ramp, Mike “surfs” around the world; Barry plots the football formations that will change his life; and Natalie consoles her young doll-patients. These children all enjoy the porch and the memorabilia stored in the treasure chests beneath it. But one very special treasure, a Japanese Puzzle Box, holds a mystery. And when it’s finally opened, young and old alike will marvel at what it reveals . . .

Wow!Great job of bringing this man [Tom] and his times to lifeDefinitely a winner! Megan Smolenyak, chief genealogist for Ancestry.com, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, and consultant to the TV series of the same name. Millions of settlers flocked westward for homesteads, taking advantage of the free land opened to settlement by the expanding railroads. Few remained there, but author Judy Cooks family never lost faith in the land. Cooks Dakota roots inspire this compelling story of her grandparents homesteading experiences in North Dakota. If This Land Could Talk provides a riveting look at three generations of life on the northern plains, where Cook spent her formative years. Her candid portrayal brings to life her four grandparents, who carved a living from the inhospitable prairie, and her parents, who continued to farm on the same land. She offers a poignant yet entertaining glimpse into her ancestors daily lives. The author recounts growing up on the same land in the 1950s, shaped by a way of life long since vanished. Based on meticulous research, personal experiences, and stories passed from family to family, If This Land Could Talk resonates with a powerful sense of place, an enduring love of the land, and reverence for the family.

If Walls Could Talk: Some Need To Be Silenced But Some Speak Out Loud By: Bernard Mavritte Ever since human beings have known how to build structures with walls, a ceiling and some kind of roof, the walls within those structures have witnessed so much. If they were animate objects, with eyes, a mouth and ears, they could say so much that could not be constrained within all the books upon the earth. Those walls have witnessed the good, the bad, the joys, and the sorrows. They have seen things that those who live within the parameter of the walls would love to share with others, and yet many occurrences that should never be revealed, the deep secrets of our lives we are ashamed to reveal to others. From our entrance on this earth, until we depart, the walls have seen it all. In this autobiography memoir, Bernard Mavritte reveals the good and the bad, the joys and the sorrows in his own life, a story that is full of life itself. He shares how God has opened so many doors for him, bringing him through his many trials. If the walls in his life could talk, some of them would need to be silenced, but some would need to speak loudly.
