Sundays with Grandma tells the story of an ailing Grandmother who spends
her last years in life fully present for her Grandson while cultivating
within him an enduring hope and optimism for the beauty of life. Inspired by
true events
, the book is based on the author’s observations of the playful
relationship between his son and his mother during a period when she was
battling and ultimately succumbed to breast cancer. 

Told through the eyes of young grandson Noah, this is a story recounting
the memories Noah had with his loving Grandma Sherry during their weekly
Sunday visits. These Sundays are filled with delicious food, silly fun times
with Grandma, and important life lessons. While Noah notices that Grandma is
getting weaker and weaker with each visit, that doesn’t stop their special
Sundays together. Noah realizes when he is older that Grandma’s important
lessons have taught him not only about the beauty of life but also how to
accept some of its most difficult moments.

Written for kids of all ages, Sundays with Grandma delicately uses the
beauty of nature to remind kids who might be experiencing loss and grief
that their lives are just beginning to blossom, with so much beauty and
growth to look forward to in the days to come.

In 1890s Missouri, secrets are a matter of survival.

Clairvoyant Sarah Richardson screams as her older sister Katherine is
forced into a straightjacket and thrust into a carriage bound for the St.
Louis City Lunatic Asylum. She is devastated to learn Katherine has been
blamed for her inadvertent role in an abused woman’s murder. Now, too
frightened to speak up, she hides the truth that it should have been her in
that carriage. 

Sarah’s mounting guilt becomes too much, and she heads to St. Louis,
determined to regain her sister’s confidence and prove herself worthy
of forgiveness.

While working to heal their relationship, Sarah meets a timid housewife who
tries to hide her bruises. When troubling psychic visions of the woman begin
to affect her, she sees an opportunity to atone for her past mistakes.
Desperate to do whatever it takes to make things right, Sarah embarks on a
perilous journey that may cost her everything—including her own
life.

Defying betrayal and hardship, Chato fights to save his family and his

As the Apache Wars roar toward their conclusion in the summer of 1886,
renowned Apache army scout and leader Chato joins a delegation of scouts to

For his unwavering loyalty and service, Chato is awarded a silver medal

where they are. However, after Geronimo’s surrender, Chato and his fellow

will be deprived of their freedom and their way of life for the next three
decades.
