Growing up in war-torn Germany, spending over two years in a Russian prison camp can ruin a life or make it stronger. Fred Losch chose to become a stronger person and to make the most of his life. Fred left his homeland, became an American citizen, traveled the world, learned new things daily, and loved his family. He wrote the words of his life so that others might see the misery of war and strive toward understanding and cooperation.

It had come to this: breastfeeding her screaming three-month-old while sitting on the cigarette-scarred floor of a union hall, lying to her husband so she could attend yet another activist meeting, and otherwise actively self-destructing. Then Sonya Huber turned to her long-dead grandfather, the family nobody, for help. Huber s search for meaning and resonance in the life of her grandfather Heina Buschman was unusual insofar as she knew him only through dismissive family stories: He let his wife die of neglect . . . he used his infant son as a decoy when transporting anti-Nazi literature in a baby carriage . . . and so the stories went. What she actually discovered was that, like his granddaughter, Heina Buschman was a committed and beleaguered activist whose story echoed her own. Huber s research not only conjured her grandfather s voice in answer to many of the questions that troubled her but also found in his story a source of personal sustenance for herself. Based on extensive research and documentation, this story of Heina Buschman offers a rare look into the heart of the average socialist trying to survive the Nazis and rebuild a broken world. Alternating with his voice is Huber s own, providing a rich and moving counterpoint that makes this deeply personal exploration of family, politics, and individual responsibility a story for all of us and for all time.

If you are looking for terrifying tales that will have you waking up screaming from nightmares; keep looking. I’m not Stephen King, I’m just a kindly old grandfather who doesn’t dabble much in the macabre. But, if you want interesting stories which are entertaining and engaging, read on. These stories are about people interacting with other people but in these stories the people also happen to be; vampires, witches, werewolves, angels, demons and a monster I invented for this collection of stories called a slurker. What do you do if you are becoming a monster? Do you embrace it like Theo and Dustin or resist it like LaRue? What do you do if you encounter a monster? Do you attack like Miss Grant or negotiate like Father O’Shea? Maybe you would call in outside help like Scoop, Zack and Timmy did. Find out how the characters in my stories handled their monsters in these seven stories. Happy reading, Opa Don

Four delightful stories make up this children's book, each one based upon a woman's grandchildren and each one filled with exciting adventures, faraway places and authentic characters. Marion Gillcrist, or Oma as she is known to her grandchildren, uses her vivid imagination to put her grandchildren in the most unusual places. Ransom takes Marie and Erin to Colorado where they survive not only a kidnapping, but the Colorado wilderness. Hanna and Joe go in search of a pirate's treasure and break a secret code in The Piece of Eight; Liam, Jacob, Thomas, Lily and Olivia explore a haunted house in Rhode Island in The Watson Place; and Ellie, Georgia, Danny and Isabel rescue King Richard the Lion Heart from a dungeon in Austria in Coeur de Lion. Follow the adventures of these irrepressible and enchanting children as they use their wits and wisdom to battle buccaneers, bandits, and medieval adversaries. Gillcrist expertly captures childlike wonder and excitement with history and valuable life lessons. Adventures of My Grandchildren will become a permanent part of the family library and a book that you and your children will read time and time again. Marion Gillcrist is the mother of 10 children, grandmother of 36, and great-grandmother of 6.

She lives with her husband in Boca Raton, Florida. Publisher's website: www.eloquentbooks.com/AdventuresofMyGrandchildren.html

In this book, Marijane Osborn translates into modern English nine lively medieval verse romances, in a form that both reflects the original and makes the romances inviting to a modern audience. All nine tales contain elements of magic: shapeshifters, powerful fairies, trees that are portals to another world, and enchanted clothing and armor. Many of the tales also feature powerful women characters, while others include representations of “Saracens.” The tales address issues of enduring interest and concern, and also address sexuality, agency, and identity formation in unexpected ways.

Spring-fed creeks. Old stone houses. Cedar brakes and bleached limestone. The Hill Country holds powerful sway over the imagination of Texans. So many of us dream of having our own little place in the limestone hills. The Hill Country feels just like home, even if you've never lived there. This beautifully written book explores what the Hill Country has meant as a homeplace to the author, his family, and longtime residents of the area, as well as to newcomers. David Syring listens to the stories that his aunts, uncles, and cousins tell about life in the Hill Country and grapples with their meaning for his own search for a place to belong. He also collects short stories focused around Honey Creek Church to consider how places become containers for memory. And he draws upon several years of living in Fredericksburg to talk about the problems and opportunities created by heritage tourism and the development of the town as a "home" for German Americans. These interconnected stories illuminate what it means to belong to a place and why the Texas Hill Country has become the spiritual, if not actual, home of many people.
