1. The Zimmermann Telegram
Feature
Random House TradeDescription
The Proud Tower, the Pulitzer Prizewinning The Guns of August, and The Zimmermann Telegram comprise Barbara W. Tuchmans classic histories of the First World War eraIn January 1917, the war in Europe was, at best, a tragic standoff. Britain knew that all was lost unless the United States joined the war, but President Wilson was unshakable in his neutrality. At just this moment, a crack team of British decoders in a quiet office known as Room 40 intercepted a document that would change history. The Zimmermann telegram was a top-secret message to the president of Mexico, inviting him to join Germany and Japan in an invasion of the United States. How Britain managed to inform the American government without revealing that the German codes had been broken makes for an incredible story of espionage and intrigue as only Barbara W. Tuchman could tell it.
Praise for The Zimmermann Telegram
A true, lucid thriller . . . a tremendous tale of hushed and unhushed uproars in the linked fields of war and diplomacy . . . Tuchman makes the most of it with a creative writers sense of drama and a scholars obeisance to the evidence.The New York Times
The tale has most of the ingredients of an Eric Ambler spy thriller.Saturday Review
2. Sunshine: A Love Story
Description
After losing her husband of 61 years of marriage, Thelma resists leaving her home until her children make the decision that it is too dangerous for her to live at home alone and move her into a nursing home. She is subsequently diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia, a debilitating neurological disease, that progressively robs her of her physical health and mental clarity. Interweaving present events with intimate memories and reality with hallucinations, Thelma narrates a beautiful story of the love between her and Ed, Dad, Papa-her husband, the father of their children, the grandfather of their grandchildren-and their deep love for their family. Sunshine is heartbreaking and disturbing yet ultimately heartwarming and uplifting. Thelma will become a beloved family member as you experience with her the loss of her husband, her memory, her physical health and eventually her life. And now faith, hope and love remain, but the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:133. Minor Indiscretions
Description
Though barely out of the schoolroom, Melody Ashton was determined to save her mother from scandal. Guardian of several "orphans" (in actuality the illegitimate children of the ton!) poor Mama was accused of pilfering contributions. To make matters worse, the infuriatingly handsome Lord Coe had accused them all of blackmailing his sister, whose child resided with them!
After such rudeness, his offer to make Melody his mistress was the outside of enough! Ignoring all lessons learned in Mingleforth's Rules of Polite Decorum, she told the rake exactly what he was - starting with reckless reprobate and on to debauched womanizer, self-righteous sapskull, and buffle-headed bounder.
Lord Coe was quite confused! Never had a conquest proved so difficult. And never had he feared he was falling so helplessly in love!
4. Cupboard Kisses
Description
Well-bred orphan Cristabel Swann tolerates her thankless teaching job - until her uncle dies unexpectedly. Arriving in London to claim her inheritance, Cristabel encounters something else entirely - a loutish naval captain who won all of the old man's property in an evening's gambling, leaving his niece nothing but debt! To his credit, Captain Chase recognizes her desperation and offers her a position as landlady of a boarding house in Kensington.
Cristabel is happy with her new situation and with the female tenants of the house. They are exceedingly well-dressed for working-class girls and have many admirers. Cristabel soon has a beau of her own - the dashing Lord Winstoke, who seems just a tad familiar, both in appearance and in attitude. Of course, Cristabel maintains propriety in every situation. But she cannot understand why the men she meets are so forward. Could it be the company she keeps?

Pets have always been an important part of my life. It doesn't surprise me that the Lord would teach me through my cat. As a child, I was drawn to God because I loved His creation.

I pray that these short meditations will make you smile, laugh, and even cry as you follow the pathway left by the paw prints in my heart.6. Autumn Glory and Other Stories
