Yes, I Can
Phoebe's life story develops in the early 1900's like a song, with some repeated melodies, a few complex passages and then lyrical measures for good listening. As a piano teacher, she hears some beautiful variations, with occasional sour notes, but gradually works toward a solid, harmonic chord. Her faith keeps her in a major key, complete with grace notes. Her minister father would claim credit for her faith journey, but readers will find that her dear friends guided her and stood with her from her girlhood on, in spite of her father's harsh judment. She followed her God-given talents with patience & faith through theatening times. |
Tomorrow, Ready or Not
Close friends in a retirement community wonder what tomorrow will bring. They share the joys of hobbies, volunteer work, good health and good food. They also have shared the death of one friend and illness of another. One of the men is threatened with financial ruin and another is controlled by an unhappy daughter. However, their productive lives overcome their fears. New life after seventy proves that tomorrow is a word of hope as long as they face life together. These friends met in Remnants, Ready for New Life, thanks to their mutual friend Daisy and her dog Curly. |
Dearly Beloved
"Dearly Beloved" are words that precede many sacred gatherings in the church. In the same way, Henry Breuner opens his heart to Emily Campbell in 1896 in Chicago. She is a city girl, just finishing high school. He is a middler at McCormick Seminary, twenty-three, from southern Indiana. They are first generation Americans, meeting at the threshold of a challenging century. |
My Will Be Done
For ninety-six years, Bertha Ross MacLean's determination to succeed affects three generations. In spite of her controlling schemes, her husband succeeds in the corporate world and her three offspring lead good lives and find happiness. Bertha broods over her discontent. She paints china, carves walnut tables, makes quilts and needlepoint pictures. She never gives up trying to "get even" with the world for her difficult childhood. |

Remnants: Ready for New Life
Daisy MacDuff invites old friends, remnants of widowhood, spinsterhood or divorce, to join her in a new life in Scottsdale's newest retirement village. One laughs at her; another is afraid to leave Boston; two are reluctant but want more information; and four agree to try it. Together they adjust successfully in spite of serious problems for two of them. Their life stories reflect their attitudes about their past lives, but they move from self-centered lives into caring about each other. They become volunteers in the community. They recover their sense of humor and curiosity. They find the benefits of living in community, challenging readers to think ahead about their own plans. |
