Throughout the years that Veritas has spent trying to rear me,
there's one essential truth she's always stuck to. 'Love is
stronger than mountains.' My mother's name meant truth. But could
any of us trust her to tell the truth about our family?' Can Ruth
and her sister Mary discover lasting love for themselves amid the
chaos of their large bohemian family? And what about their
eccentric mother? Could they find a new love for her too? After the
hardships of the 50s, how will any of them experience the new
freedoms of the swinging 60s? As Ruth stands at the altar promising
love to a young man till the end of life, under her breath she
makes a vow: to set down everything of the past, the reality of a
girlhood constantly touched by sadness, yet always profoundly
secure.

Books for Keeps
An international phenomenon now available in America for the first
time, this quick, no-nonsense guide is all you need to get your
child to sleep through the night (pillow not included).
These days, most books on improving your child's sleep take either
a tough-love approach (ignore crying) or a soothing strategy (offer
continuous comfort). But now an internationally renowned sleep
expert provides a middle-ground method that will have your child
sleeping through the night at any age. Dr. Eduard Estivill's
no-fail technique focuses on a mixture of authority, ritual, and
reward. Parents can end negative cycles of resistance and
wakefulness and feel as rested as their child will by following
these expert tips:
- Adopt a firm and confident attitude (your child will pick up on
your mood).
- Use meals as a cue to announce your child's next nap or
nighttime sleep.
- Incorporate appropriate elements (such as a stuffed animal or a
pacifier) at bedtime so your child will not rely on you as a vital
part of the sleep process.
- Reinforce the contrast between light (day) and dark
(night).
- Never punish children by making them go to bed (it sends the
wrong message about sleep time).
- Learn what to say before--and after--the light is turned off.
Complete with special techniques to use with newborns, plus an
invaluable question-and-answer section that addresses specific
concerns (children sleeping in their parents' bed, how divorced
parents can work together, special-needs children), this
sanity-saving guide promises sweet dreams for all.

Seven years ago, Cambri Blaine fled her small hometown of Bridger,
Colorado after her senior year of high school ended in a fiasco.
But now her father needs help, and Cambri has no choice but to
return home. So with trepidation, she takes a leave of absence from
the landscape architecture firm where she works and heads home,
hoping against hope that Jace Sutton is no longer around and that
the past can stay where it belongs-in the past. If only life worked
that way. Jace never expected to see Cambri again. After she walked
out of his life without a backward glance, he was left with no
choice but to try to forget her and move on. But now that Cambri is
back and looking more beautiful and sophisticated than ever, some
of those old feelings resurface, and Jace instinctively knows, for
the sake of his heart, that he needs to avoid her at all costs. If
only it were that easy. The Ripple Effect Romance Series Enjoy this
exciting new series of clean novellas by six critically-acclaimed
authors. "Like a pebble tossed into calm water, a simple act can
ripple outward and have a far-reaching effect on those we meet,
perhaps setting a life on a different course- one filled with
excitement, adventure, and sometimes even love." Book 1: Home
