Don't be surprised if they feel familiar to you. A desperate man finds redemption in the form of a lost boy in the middle of a southern California desert; an elderly woman takes refuge from Alzheimer's in her rose garden; two young sisters leave Arizona and their father to head for Alabama and an uncertain future; a lonely man intrigued by an obituary photo begins an odyssey of revelation; a woman's chance encounter in an antique stop results in a mystical experience, and a young girl recalls her poignant last visit with her uncle before his suicide. These are but a few of the wild stories from wild women Carmi Cosmos and Sarah Bates. Read them all!

Between 1995 and 1997 seven Romano-British pottery kilns were excavated at three sites in East Anglia, all of which were threatened by commercial development and.or destruction by other means. A single kiln was excavated at Ellingham, and three at both Postwick and Two Mile Bottom, dating from the late 2nd to early 3rd century AD, 2nd century AD and later Roman period respectively. This volume presents three separate reports on these sites which reveal insights into small-scale pottery production, including processes and products, in rural, Roman East Anglia.

To have a son adopt his father's dream as his own is rare. But that is exactly what Rod Strong does when in 2006 he enlists in the Army to join The Old Guard. Serving as a Sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery is all his father ever wants, until he dies in the Gulf War. Now Rod decides to honor his father by taking his place. He forges ahead, naively believing sheer will and hard work are all he needs. As he perseveres through Basic Training and Ranger School at Fort Benning, self-doubt begins to plague him. Still, holding firm to his father's goal, he overcomes hurdles he never anticipates. Finally he reaches the legendary 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment at Fort Myer, the home of The Old Guard, with his goal in sight. Then an unexpected deployment to Afghanistan derails his plans and when a firefight erupts, Rod confronts an overwhelming obstacle that threatens to defeat him completely.

Johnstown, New York, 1823: It is a time when a wife’s dowry, even children, automatically becomes her husband’s property. Slavery is an economic advantage entrenched in America but rumblings of abolition abound. For Elizabeth Cady to confront this culture is unheard of, yet that is exactly what she does. Before she can become a leader of the women's rights movement and prominent abolitionist, she faces challenges fraught with disappointment. Her father admires her intellect but says a woman cannot aspire to the goals of men. Her sister’s husband becomes her champion–but secretly wants more. Religious fervor threatens to consume her. As she faces depression and despair, she records these struggles and other dark confidences in diaries. When she learns the journals might fall into the wrong hands and discredit her, she panics and rips out pages of entries that might destroy her hard-fought reputation. Relieved, she believes they are lost to history forever. But are they? Travel with Elizabeth into American history and discover a young woman truly ahead of her time.
