HISTORICAL NOVELS

	Jennys Dream: A Family Saga in Bear Lake, Idaho	"This book has loads of heart. Its historical accuracy won me over and has the power to charm all ages. It can even work its magic on blokes who usually like their fiction hardboiled with a lot of spice." —Mick Halpin, Critical Mick Reviews, Dublin, Ireland "The reader is able to see the colors and gape at the awe-inspiring beauty of the Idaho landscape, inhale the clean mountain air, and gasp with fear at the unfamiliar and varied hostilities encountered in the journey. The novel feels more like a conversation with a close friend than a book full of words." —Lisa Haselton, AllBooks Reviews	Your Cost: $12.95

And so begins this legendary tale of the Colonna family as they travel through Italy in the steps of Michaelangelo, the Stone Cutter Genius.

	Girty: The Legend	Recognizing that the past is nothing more than the stories we tell about it, Girty examines the myth of Simon Girty, the legendary “white savage” who terrorized the American western frontier during the American War for Independence and the Northwest Indian War. No serious book published since the nineteenth century has focused on this great villain of frontier mythology. While Daniel Boone and Simon Kentonwere presented as great trailblazers and heroic Indian fighters, Simon Girty was demonized as a murderer and torturer of his fellow Americans. Stories are still written about the legendary frontier heroes, but now that the Indians have been exterminated or removed, the Girty myth is no longer useful. Girty’s true story is far more fascinating than his myth—a rarity in the literature of history, which is filled with more fiction than fact.	Your Cost: $24.95

	Leaves from the Calabash	Leaves from the Calabash traces the path of Hawa in the tiny West African country of Rocontha. Since her birth, Hawa is trapped between the powerful forces of western influence and the magical powers of her culture and traditions as well as alternate medicine. Meanwhile, her country is in need of better leadership. Its inhabitants face many challenges, but things are starting to change. After proving herself in her early schooling, Hawa works briefly at a clinic, where her views about alternate medicine are strengthened and changed. She later gets a scholarship to study modern medicine in the USA. While abroad, Hawa faces the difficult challenges of raising two teenage girls caught up between the forces of peer pressure and the attachment for their traditions. Hawa is then offered a lucrative job, but her desire to help her people leads her back to Rocontha. There she opens a clinic that deals with alternate medicine, as well as several laboratories with the sole purpose of experimenting with the magical power of the African plant kingdom she believes will help propel alternate medicine into the mainstream of the health care system of her poor country. Through her life’s work, her determination challenges the assumptions of women’s place in society, as well as the colonial masters that African culture and alternate medicine have no place in modern civilization and medicine, because both are “magical” and lack scientific basis.
