Amid the Battles of Saratoga, Tim Euston has to defend the lovely Betty-May from those who can profit from her wrongful conviction for the murder of her husband. It is September 1777, the third year of the American War for Independence. In upstate New York, Tim Euston (age 17) is playing with two boys while they help their Uncle Martin harvest wheat. In the distance they can hear the ominous rumble of cannon fire in what has to be a major battle. A British invasion force had sailed up the Saint Lawrence and marched south. Progress through rough terrain had been painfully slow but they were now approaching settled land with good roads. Their goal is to capture the state capitol at Albany and gain control of the Hudson River Valley, splitting the new nation and destroying revolutionary morale.Just days before, Tim and his friend Dan had come to where the Continental Army was hoping to stop the enemy advance. Both wanted to join and fight, but Tim broke his arm when saving the daughter of a colonel from a runaway wagon. Frustrated, he came back to Martin's farm where his sister Sadie and mother Abby had found work. Now, as he minds the children, Tim is missing out on what may be a crucial battle and his last chance for military glory.Someone calls Martin away. After he disappears into nearby woods, Tim and the boys hear a single gunshot. The hired man appears and tells Tim he has found Martin bleeding from the head but still alive. In the woods by Martin, Tim finds a pistol that looks like one that belongs to Dan. They help Martin back to the house but he dies in the arms of his wife, Betty-May. She is young, beautiful and eight months pregnant. These traumatic events trigger Betty-May's labor pains and she delivers a healthy little boy. Tim cannot help but feel deep compassion but this sentiment does not appear to be shared by her in-laws. Four of them are staying with her after being evacuated from their farms to escape the enemy's advance.Martin had offered his barn as a hospital and the wounded begin to arrive, including Tim's friend Dan who had marched into battle, fired at the enemy, and broke three ribs in a fall. They find both of Dan's pistols missing from his traveling chest. Tim and Dan have to protect themselves, but they are now ensnared by the tragic beauty of Betty-May, who might be falsely accused of the murder of Martin. She had gone out alone to call the men in for supper and had passed close by the scene of the crime. If convicted, the guardian to her child would be Ben, the brother-in-law named by Martin in his will. Though there is no hard evidence, the murderer could be either Ben.Dan, Abby and Sadie want to leave, but Tim convinces them to stay and help him try to stop those who seek Betty-May's downfall. Might the killer kill again? Even if she is not hanged, Betty-May could still lose her child. Will the baby be raised by his mother or by his uncle?This complication of events and collision of personalities plays out against an authentic portrayal of everyday activities in the eighteenth century. Simple technology and superstitions bring the era to life without reading like a scholarly social history. Revolutionary ideology is conveyed through clever comebacks and heated arguments. Women still exert a great deal of power and influence over men who desperately want to be respected. In this era, America was primarily rural and agricultural. Without scholarly language, Thorleifson introduces the major issues of historical debate on the developing national character. Recent research has dispelled myths about the revolutionary era as it affected ordinary people. A novel can convey this new knowledge in a way that is accessible for young people but still compelling for their elders. With hints and threats the reader is kept on the hook by a concern for characters that seem almost real. Tim and the Broken Bones is not just a who-done-it. It's also a how-would-people-then-have-have-actually-reacted.

A poignant first-person account about two things many women fear the most: breast cancer and the tragic loss of a spouse. It's a story that raises the age-old question: How does a person hold on to faith when terrible things happen, one after another? Carole Jones gives an answer-not a simple formula or pat response-but a wisdom refined in the crucible of pain. Her story, The Long Goodbye, is a graceful memoir of her struggle with breast cancer, her husband's tragic bicycling accident, and the saga that followed as he slowly slipped away in a persistent coma. How Carole and her family hold on to their faith is a remarkable story, told with piercing candor, grace, and, ultimately, great joy. It is a must-read story for every woman facing cancer or life-threatening illness or for anyone who has lost a spouse.

My best friend, Josy, had asked me to write a story about a secret she had been keeping for years. I have changed some names to protect the innocent, and the guilty from being held liable. Josy and her family went on a festive Hawaiian cruise for Thanksgiving. They were surprised to hear that one of the most famous celebrities in Hollywood was going to be promoting his newest movie by performing a show. The smiles of a family vacation were shattered when Josy received a viscious injury while lounging at the pool. The ship's security needed to find the answers for Josy, her family, and the passengers on the ship. While recuperating in her state-room, Josy saw what looked to be a baby being thrown into the ocean. Josy's mothering instinct made her jump into the ocean to save the child. The Hollywood celebrity was walking though the passageway near Josy's door and heard her cries for help, and was soon to participate in the role and adventure of a lifetime.

Tiny Tim is all grown up in this continuation of Charles Dickens’s beloved holiday classic A Christmas Carol, and this time, a certain ghost shows him the true meaning of Christmas cheer! In A Christmas Carol, evil Scrooge was shown the error of his ways by three helpful ghosts and vowed to become a better person. Bob Cratchit and his family benefited most from Scrooge’s change of tune—but what happened after the goose was given, and Scrooge resolved to turn over a new leaf? Tim Cratchit’s Christmas Carol shows us Tiny Tim as an adult. Having recovered from his childhood ailment, he began his career helping the poor but has since taken up practice as a doctor to London’s wealthy elite. Though Tim leads a very successful life, he comes home at night to an empty house. But this holiday season, he’s determined to fill his house with holiday cheer—and maybe even a wife. When a single, determined young mother lands on Tim’s doorstep with her ailing son, Tim is faced with a choice: stay ensconced in his comfortable life and secure doctor’s practice, or take a leap of faith and reignite the fire lit under him by his mentor, Scrooge, that fateful Christmas so many years ago.

Two decades have passed since an android named Absolute murders the heroes responsible for helping the Allies win World War II: the Protectors of Earth. But as time passes, the world forgets its heroes, and their stories are washed down and told through comics marketed toward young adults. But in 1963, more are born. Tim Roses, a senior in high school with anger issues, is given a chance to see himself as a hero by the Children of the Sun and become the Ultimate Man. But even with the support of his comic nerd friend Nate Gold and his father, does he have the power to forgive himself for his mother's death and see himself as a good person? Cayson Sapp, a recently fired test pilot with a snarky attitude, is given the chance to show others that he can be a hero after a knight from the Middle Ages tells him that he is the next Merlin. Accepting the offer to protect the world almost instantly, he will prove to the people around him that he is worth something. But he must face the trauma of his past before doing so. Lauren Kyles, the daughter of a supervillain, learns of her father's past after his death. But before she can process the horrible acts of her father, she is forced to redeem his moniker, the Fowl. But she refuses to do so after dedicating her life to looking after him. But that leads her to the front lines of a war between a secret government organization and her brother's company. Donald Cooper, a man who has trained most of his life to help people, is finally given a chance to help fight crime in his city. Equipped with his bow and arrow, he joins a team filled with villains who follow the orders of a crooked sheriff. After the team kills someone close to Donald, he turns his back on the city's police force, who once cared for him. Knowing he must stop them, he joins forces with another metahuman with dark morals to stop the sheriff before he finds Absolute. And as these stories end, another forces them to stop an alien invasion to wipe out their kind from a demented king. But will these young heroes be able to follow in the footsteps of the ones who come before them?
