Twenty-one year-old Rosie Ross has graduated from college in 1955, and now prepares for a Catholic marriage. By the time she is thirty-three, she has had six children and is spiritually and emotionally fulfilled by caring for them full time, even though she senses her physical exhaustion. She also realizes she needs to get away from the husband who isolates and belittles her. As the children become more self- reliant and independent, it opens the way for Rosie to think about her choices. She receives a series of phone calls from her son in medical school encouraging her to think about becoming a doctor. As unlikely as it seems, Rosie recognizes it as a chance at a new life and a way to use the skills shes learned for the greater good. Eventually, Rosie makes the decision that will change the lives of her and her family. As Rosie follows her dream, the heartache of being separated from her family and her home take a cruel toll on her. Meanwhile, fate has intervened and the decision is now out of her hands and part of the great plan. Arbor Lane is an American family saga, not only about Rosie Ross, but about the many courageous women like her, all over the world, who transform their lives daily by following their destinies, while they continue to be responsible to their obligations.

Many changes have taken place in the decade since Follow the Blue Blazes was first published, changes in the trails themselves and in the way we hike them. The Buckeye Trail still wends its way around the state of Ohio, following the course marked out by the characteristic blue blazes on trees and signposts along the way. In the intervening years, however, sections of the trail have changed their route, added amenities, or just grown more interesting. From the startling rock formations and graceful waterfalls of Old Man’s Cave, to Native American mounds, battlefields, and scenic rivers, Connie and Robert J. Pond provide a captivating guide to often-overlooked treasures around the state. Each chapter features an overview of a 100-mile section of the trail and three self-guided featured hikes. The overviews and the accompanying maps may be read consecutively to acquaint the reader with the entire course of the trail. But most readers will best enjoy the trail by taking the guide along on one of the featured hikes. Each route is outlined on an easy-to-read map with GPS coordinates and waypoints to guide the hiker, as well as explicit directions from parking lot to trailhead. The Buckeye Trail is readily accessible from Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Cleveland, and Akron. Even a short trip can lead to an adventure near your own backyard.

"Sederberg understands people and how to write about them." - The Washington Post "It would be hard to imagine a novel more richly characterized, better grounded in its themes, or constructed to more terse effect. In short, it is a winner." -Publisher's Weekly "Sederberg's is better than the recent novel of Sidney Sheldon." -New York Times "When Arelo Sederberg writes a novel about corporate in-fighting he does so from expert knowledge." -Chicago Tribune Arelo Sederberg, former public relations spokesman for Howard Hughes, is a veteran newspaper reporter and editor working for the Los Angeles Times and Herald-Examiner, as well as a commentator and interviewer on national television with the Financial News Network (now C-NBC). Sederberg is the author of six novels.
