Life growing up in a trailer park in the 50's and 60's in Southington, Connecticut. What started off as a collection of stories about life in the neighborhood soon evolved into a memoir. Feeling isolated and protected in my trailerhood was misleading, as I reflect on those times. My life paralleled what was taking place in the country more than I realized.

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • “Read Claudia Connor for a consistently raw and emotional love story,” recommends Carly Phillips. Now the swoon-worthy McKinney Brothers series from this bestselling author continues as JT, the youngest of the trio, discovers that only love can make him whole. She’s fighting for control. . . . Paige Roberts learned to fend for herself growing up. Now she’s doing everything possible to give her daughter, Casey, the stability she never had. But when the vivacious five-year-old decides she’s done wearing her prosthesis, Paige faces her toughest challenge yet: trusting a handsome, brooding stranger who simply wants to help. He’s struggling to connect. . . . JT McKinney lost more than his leg in a car accident that stole his dreams of pro football. Eight years later, he's made a new life for himself far away from his old one. His business is developing cutting-edge prosthetics and he’s more than happy to turn his attention to machines instead of people. Still, he can’t shake the feeling that something’s missing. Will they take a chance on love? . . . When JT gets the chance to help Paige’s daughter, he takes it. He never planned on the two of them tearing down his walls or teaching him to believe in himself again. Paige might not believe in happily ever afters, but JT wants more than anything to be her prince. They’ll both have to let go of the past if they want a future.

Only by positively linking the past with the future can she successfully withstand challenges that will shake her core values of integrity and courage and thus to find love among the ashes. As a youngster in New Orleans, Nicole (Niki) Berteaux frequently finds herself the target of her father's anger, and his physical abuse. Fear reigns in the Berteaux household. As she lives in misery Niki somehow blossoms into a lovely young woman and finds forbidden love in the Bayou's. But the Forces are against her-even the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans has a hand in Niki's fate. Her brief taste of sweet love will be shattered by a horrific event that changes her life forever. She perseveres and somehow escapes from her shame to venture to New York in order to carve an identity for herself. It is in New York that it soon becomes evident that certain patterns from her childhood will now threaten her future. In the conclusion of Until It All Unfolds, Niki closes another chapter of her life leaving yet another romantic relationship behind before it has the opportunity to prevent her from achieving her goals of just a ray of happiness. Covering a range of topics from racism, family dysfunction and mysticism to the true meaning of peace and love this narrative explores the nuances of the human condition.

ISBN: 1457547058

Knowing the lyrics to a Stevie Wonder song sealed the deal for one of Tia Rees’s hospice patients and his mother. Their surprise at a white nurse knowing such things is a daily fact of life for Tia, who tries to provide top-notch care for her African-America patients, even though it involves travel through tough inner-city streets and rough neighborhoods. Gunshots, gangs, violence, guns, drugs, poverty and racial tensions provide the backdrop for stories about her patients and their families. Hospice in the Hood covers three years of Tia’s latest job taking care of hospice patients, and her stories range from stolen moments of laughter to the final breaths of a patient. Read about relatives who are startled by (and sometimes admire) her sharply dressed security men, poignant celebrations, quiet moments with her charges, and sometime-sunsettling encounters with neighborhood residents. The riots in Ferguson, Missouri, brought a new note to the conversations Tia had with patients and their families when they confronted their deepest feelings about race. As their situation grows worse and hopelessness sets in, she and the families she serves develop close relationships. Tia also shares moments of insight gleaned from conversations with her dying patients in their final days and their struggle to cope with pain. In the end, she finds it is the small things that can sometimes make the biggest difference, such as the music that ties her to her patients, providing a bridge between cultures with toe-tapping tunes, moving melodies and lyrics of love.
