"Gabby" by Barby Keel

Now who can say no to a face like that? It's a real photo of the main character of this book. How one small dog can change the life of another. How we can change lives. How our caring can make a difference.

This book brings light to an amazing animal shelter in the U.K. A place where no animal is turned away. A true story written by the owner of the animal shelter, you learn how life is running a shelter. Feel the soft furry friends, see the peacock roaming the grounds. 

This book opens our eyes to how we can help animals, both big and small. Imagine a bird with a broken wing. She takes them in and has them treated, releasing when healed. 

The community comes together to support this animal shelter. You can too. With the purchase of your book, you are supporting it. All proceeds go to the animal shelter. I hope you find it in your heart to pick up a copy for yourself and give as gifts.

A wonderful book. Moving.

"Light Changes Everything"

Nancy Turner

A story unlike any I've read. Takes place in the early 1900's in the Arizona territory. Family is the most important part of life. It's a story about how one woman goes on her own to do what she dreams. It's a story of how she stood up and took charge. Refused to take no for an answer. Did incredible work and shared her passion of family.

Escape into a book that will bring light to a new era. Learn about life in the early 1900's. See the beauty.

Wonderful book. Beautifully written.

"Big Lies in a Small Town"

Diane Chamberlain

This book is a treasure. A story that comes at you from different experiences and then combines them all in the end. Written brilliantly. Emotions are clear and so strong that you are stung by their magnitude.

Details come alive and you feel as if you can see exactly what she is describing. You can feel the texture and smile at the beauty of it.

Diane Chamberlain is an author unlike another. Her writing is a gift few have. She's poetic.

This is a book for your bookshelf. Pick it up and enjoy it. You will be SO glad you did!

"Hill Women" by Cassie Chambers

Open your eyes and learn about the wonders of life in the Appalacian Mountains. See and hear the people who make it their home. Be spellbound as the story moves you. Feel the hardships but, most importantly, feel the triumphs and joy of family and neighbors.

As a nation, small towns in Kentucky are mostly forgotten. We live our lives and don't appreciate what we have until we hear about others. Although we may be doing better in our jobs, we are certainly lost in the neighborly way. Gone are the days when we play with our neighbors. Gone are the days where we're safe in our homes. In the mountains this is the opposite. It's pure life.

Beautifully written. True story.

I highly recommend this book.

Cassie, thank you for sharing your story with the world.

This book sheds light on Rachel Maddow. She's brilliant, matter of fact and is enjoys confrontation. I have always enjoyed watching her show because she is so good at what she does.
