Heart Like A River is the Civil War diary and letters of Sergeant Major Jenkins of the 14th North Carolina Infantry from Littleton (Company A the Roanoke Minutemen), who incredibly survived the battles of Williamsburg, Seven Pines, the Seven Days including Malvern Hill, Second Manassas, South Mountain, Sharpsburg, Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Petersburg and Appomattox. He was twice wounded and twice captured including at Sharpsburg s Bloody Lane where he was at the epicenter of the fighting and later among the sacrificial 25 men at Appomattox that sought to delay a Federal division in some of the last fighting. He was also held as a POW at Fort Delaware for a time. Several post-war recollections in the form of letters to relatives give additional details about Sharpsburg, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House and Appomattox. The material was compiled by Jenkins great-granddaughter, who includes her own impressions about the war in a series of essays titled A Great-Granddaughter s Perspective.

<p>Set on Ocracoke Island, part of North Carolina's Outer Banks, Paws and Tales is an endearing story told in the words of Kali, a sailboat cat, and Harvey, an island dog. When Kali sails into the Ocracoke harbor with her person Sam, she senses that something unusual is about to happen. When a goofy but loveable Doberman pinscher called Harvey chases her off the edge of a dock, she finds herself adrift in an underworld of homeless cats, while Harvey and his person Emily ruefully regret the whole incident. What follows changes the lives of them all. Paws and Tales is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who enjoys dogs, cats, island life, sailing, mystery, romance, and homespun efforts to protect our planet. In spite of its whimsical nature, it has a strong message about living a simple, caring life, fighting for what one believes in, and not judging others simply because they are different (in this case, the dogs and cats).</p>
