When Doug Croft lost his parents to a drunk driver as a child, his uncle Harold took him in. Years later, Doug has grown to adulthood when Harold passes away and leaves everything to his nephew, including a sizeable property and home at 66 Valdera Street. Doug now has a house and a good job at the local shipyard. He just needs someone to share his life with. By chance, he meets twenty-two-year-old Lurene Stafford, a beautiful, single waitress at the diner where Doug goes for lunch every day. He's immediately drawn to her, soon finding himself in love. Although Lurene doesn't really love Doug in return, she accepts his marriage proposal, looking for financial security. Before too long, things begin take a nose - dive for Doug. He loses his shipyard job due to a lay-off and his tenants move out along with other setbacks. Lurene meets Steve Hobbs at her work and rents their vacant apartment to him. Lurene falls hard for Steve not knowing that he is a criminal with dangerous associates and is planning a major theft. Doug's enviable life begins to crumble with truly unexpected results.

In 1961, thirty-year-old Ken Wells is a teacher of natural science at Redfield High School in Massachusetts. He is dedicated to his profession and to his students, and he adores his wife and daughter. Everything is going so well for him-but then the unthinkable happens. One of his female senior students, seventeen-year-old Deborah Horton, accuses him of inappropriate sexual advances.

Ken is innocent, even though damaging evidence surfaces indicating otherwise. Arrested and charged with statutory rape, Ken lands in jail, where he has plenty of time to try to figure out why Deborah framed him. Could it have something to do with Deborah's boyfriend, Ted Fallon-the school's star football player? Ken caught Ted cheating on a test, after all, and if he flunks this class, he doesn't get his football scholarship.

Though Ken is convinced Deborah's conscience will compel her to tell the truth, his lawyer thinks it unlikely. Besides, the evidence against him is too much. They'll have to find another way to prove Ken's innocence, and they begin preparing for trial. There's only one problem: Ken has a past he doesn't want exposed, and a trial will reveal it all.

Full of twists and turns, The Kenneth Wells Case delves into how a false accusation can bring disastrous consequences for all.

John Reddie was just twelve years old when his mother bought him his first car. It was a 1935 Plymouth rumble-seat coupe and cost just $15. This was the beginning of his lifelong love of and fascination with vintage American cars.

In this memoir, Reddie gives a glimpse of his life as he reflects on all of the cars he's owned and all of the cars he could have owned. From the misadventures to the successes, Cars I Loved and Lost narrates a trip down memory lane-from the first car that actually ran to the first car he actually drove. With a few repair tips included, Reddie's story recalls fond memories through the lens of the automobile.

"Apparently I am not alone in my fondness for these gems. People invest considerable time and money into these cars, and why? Well, maybe they share my appreciation for them, in other words; they too grew up with these automobiles. They remind us of a different time, back when we were younger and carefree, when our biggest worry was having enough gasoline to get around for a day or so, even though it cost twenty five cents a gallon."

For twenty-four-year-old Paul Wilker, it seems like a dream come true. On a beautiful Sunday in March of 1964, as he works his shift at his Uncle Ike's Willow Street Auto Service in Fairdale, Massachusetts, Norma Clay pulls into the service station with car trouble. Paul quickly discovers her problem cannot be repaired until the following day and offers to take her home several towns away. Norma, a gorgeous model, accepts Paul's kindness, and they travel to her home. He learns that her family is wealthy, the owners of a successful publishing company. Paul is immediately attracted to Norma, and she reciprocates. But he finds himself leery of his good fortune; she could easily have any man she wants. As Paul's and Norma's relationship progresses, Norma convinces her father to give Paul a good position at the publishing plant and even grooms him for a manager's position. Paul can't believe his good fortune. He makes plans to marry Norma and take over the new plant. He will have a beautiful, sexy wife, and a high paying position. But that's not exactly the future Norma has in mind for him.
