Since the founding of the United States, women have picked up their pens to write and express their ideas, affording them independence and self-sufficiency in days when they had little. By way of their poetry, essays, advice columns, investigative journalism and more, women like Helen Keller, Louisa May Alcott, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Shirley Jackson wrote not only to entertain and inform, but often to simply keep a roof over their heads. This text offers a unique examination of female New England writers, focusing on their homes. The women wrote in many genres and became literary entrepreneurs, bargaining with editors for higher fees and royalties, participating in marketing campaigns, and seeking advice and help. The homes women bought with their earnings included cottages, suburban houses, farms, and an occasional mansion. Whether modest or luxurious, these houses provided the "room of her own" that Virginia Woolf said every woman needs in order to write. Sometimes that room was an elegant study, and sometimes a corner of the kitchen.

It's been over a year since Dena Caulter moved to California and enrolled in Stanford University. The 1940 fall semester brings continuous talk of war and politics. A romantic aura settles on the war effort, enticing many young men and women to enlist. Suddenly, the whispered conversations in Stanford's hallowed halls about those enlisted, those leaving for Europe, those who have died in combat—those names are familiar to Dena. No longer are they faceless strangers. They are acquaintances, friends, even family. The encroaching war also causes revisions in Howard Hughes' programs, which brings many engineers, among them Clay Brewster, back to the West Coast and Stanford U. Happy to have such a handsome distraction, Dena embraces his company. After a whirlwind romance and quick elopement, Dena and Clay settle into their new life. That is, until Clay receives enlistment papers from the Royal Air Force in England. Clay will get to fly, his life's passion, but he's taking Dena's heart with him. Deprived of the fleeting stability in her marriage and her beloved husband, Dena turns to God for peace. Yet when tragedy strikes, will she be able to hold onto her faith? Will she remember what her daddy always says, 'If in doubt...believe, girl, just believe'? 'If In Doubt...Believe is a book that puts you right in the war as you read it... I could not put it down! It made me thankful for the men and women who serve in the armed forces.' Tammy Hannold, Headstart Teacher Niagra Falls, New York 'If In Doubt...Believe is a continuing tale that comes alive due to the characters, the vivid word pictures, and its many historic facts scattered throughout...'

Seasoned detective, Jason Carmichael, is assigned the task of determining the controversial death of a fellow deputy in the mountains east of Sonora, California. Assertions of suicide, a possible accident, or a drug-related hit plague Jason since there is no conclusive evidence to prove either. Sheriff Owen Wheeler assigns a gutsy, self-confident woman as an aide to Jason. Attractive and married, the woman demands the deceased deputy be, at least, afforded the dignity of an official burial. An act she feels will finally bring him home. Having this woman at his side was not Jason's choice, but soon finds out what his life would be without her. A tiny circle is Jason's only compelling evidence to solving the case until their paths cross with that of a rogue cop who makes an unsolicited remark while being questioned as part of another wider investigation. Will Jason condemn this rogue or thank him?
