After losing their teaching positions at an Eastern academy for young girls, Effie Scarsmore and Coralee Nye travel west to Silver City, Idaho, where Effie's intended is building their future home. Or so his letters claimed. In reality, the scoundrel has mounting gambling debts and is staging a raffle of the unfinished homestead to placate his creditors. But who will placate Effie? Furious and burning for revenge, Effie rashly offers her hand in marriage as part of the raffle prize. Coralee and the whole town become caught up in a knotty tangle that will require a big dose of divine intervention. Luckily for the two ladies, Silver City is a special western town, complete with its own hovering guardian angels.
"Wishful Thinking is an evocative, humorous, and fascinating look at the early mining towns with a paranormal twist…historical detail created a place right out of history with a touch of magic." ~ 5 Angels, Fallen Angel Reviews
Time to Love Again by Roseanne Dowell
The man next door, his granddaughter, and her sister’s ghost help bring Rose Asbury out of her seclusion.
Fifty-eight year old, Rose Asbury knows people think she’s a recluse, but she doesn’t care. She just wants to be left alone. She doesn’t need anyone and no one needs her and that’s just fine. At least she didn’t until this year. For some reason this year is different. Suddenly, she’s melancholy and discontent with her life.
And the man next door doesn’t help matters. He insists on speaking to her. So her stomach tumbles every time she sees him, that doesn’t mean anything. Hunger pangs, nerves, she just wishes he’d leave her alone. Or does she? To top it all off, his granddaughter and her friends insist on playing in her yard, sledding, building snowmen and throwing snowballs at her house.

Cultural Alternatives to Drug and Alcohol Addiction by John Wisdomkeeper
In traditional times the problems of Native Youth were of great concern to the entire tribe. The Youth were the hope of the future and their instruction was overseen by wise and loving Elders.
Drugs and alcohol destroy the body, mind and spirit and make a mockery of the Sundance. The Sundance is an ancient ritual that pays tribute to mother earth and the four seasons.
Sundancers represent the courage, strength and stamina of our people, and in these modern times they are a strong statement of the determination of our Nation not to be destroyed but to rebuild in strength and unity.
Native youth are a vital part of our Vision for the future. Drugs and alcohol destroy that Vision.
