I am illegitimate. But this was never a problem for me--it was just me and my mother against the world. Mother never told me much about her past, and after a couple of unanswered questions in childhood, I stopped asking. Now, Mother is sick, and she's decided to revisit the past--literally--by taking an unexpected trip to the mountains where she was born.
I was worried; I was scared. I followed her. And my mother's journey became my journey, too. I discovered that I have a father--and my parents are still in love. Their life together just took a detour that lasted over forty years.
Their relationship was like a blackberry winter...the colder the weather, the sweeter the berries in spring. And now that I've found the truth, will I have the strength to make it through my own blackberry winter?

Usborne Brainbenders.
All kinds of fun and thought-provoking problems, including mazes, magic numbers, mixed-up pictures and brain teasers. Some of the puzzles are quite easy, others will probably make you think a bit. There are clues near the end of each book to help you with some of the more difficult puzzles. These give a hint without telling you the answer and spoiling the fun. There are, of course, answers to all the puzzles at the end of the book.

1845.
The flickering lamps cast an eerie light on the faces of the men at the graveside. Luke stood with his head bowed beside the coffin of his friend John Torrington. Just nine months before, crowds had cheered as the men of Sir John Franklin's Arctic expedition sailed from England. But now their two ships were trapped in a dark, freezing world. Luke was beginning to wonder if he would ever see his home again.
1984.
"It's as if he's just unconscious," whispered Owen Beattie. The anthropologis gazed in awe at the perfectly preserved body of John Torrington. Nearly 140 years ago this young sailor had been part of the greatest expedition ever sent in search of the Northwest Passage. Could his lonely grave help to unravel the mystery of why two ships and 129 brave sailors vanished into the bitter cold of the long Arctic night?

The puppy was small and fuzzy, with a friendly, wagging tail--and Ricky was afraid of him!
No wonder, since he was attacked by a dog when he was just a baby. So when the stray puppy comes sniffing around the farm, Ricky tells it to get lost.
But the puppy keeps trying to play with Ricky. And every time Ricky's Mom feeds the cats, the little dog comes running. The cats aren't sharing their food, however, and the poor pup is slowly starving.
If Ricky doesn't overcome his fear, the little pup may die--but if he lets himself get close enough to feed it, he may find the best friend he's every had!

Donna Parker's head started to throb, and the telephone shook in her hand. The news she had just received would change the course of her friend Ricky West's life--and her own as well.
It was only the first of the trying situations which she was to face that eventful spring. Ahead loomed graduation, and the unexpected competition for the Outstanding Girl Award. There was the question of a summer vacation in California--could that dream possibly come true? And then there was her part in Bunny's wedding--an experience that would haunt Donna as long as she lived.
Somewhere within herself Donna had to find real wisdom to meet the problems of growing up. She had to find the loyalty to stand by Ricky when disappointment threatened to end their friendship forever, and understanding to help handsome, blond Paul when he turned to her in desperation. Each new day brought its challenge, exciting and disturbing, until Donna was certain that above all others this had become A Spring to Remember.

DRINK TO ME ONLY
Young publisher Tony Marvell had made a smashing success of his book company--and a smashup of his personal life. It had been a lark to have a rich wife, an adoring mistress, and a new girlfriend. But Tony's deluded world would come crashing down the night his wife consumed too much wine and some deadly pills. The inquest called it a tragic accident. Yet going around in Tony's circle of friends and lovers were whispers of a dreadful suspicion.
That it was murder...

He would not let go of the powers of darkness.
And they would not let go of him, until they had twisted his mind and nearly destroyed his life.

"I think this present darkness is here ~ in me." ~Jay
Karen Strand's teenage son Jay was handcuffed in the back of a police car, waiting to be taken to the hospital. He looked at his mother in wild-eyed terror.
"I'll never get there alive," he panicked. "There's a .45 magnum in the trunk and they'll kill me first!"
This is the dramatice true story of a young man trapped in insanity. For two years he heard voices, thought he was Jesus, talked to aliens and saw laser beams shooting from foreheads. It soon become clear that he was battling the dark forces of evil. You will both weep and rejoice with the mother who refused to let those forces keep her son.
A story of despair. ~ A story of hope. ~
A story of God's power to break the snare of insanity, and provide a way of escape.
