Spiritual Journey ~ Story of An Adopted Child
A personal unveiling with exceptional spiritual and psychological gifts for readers across age groups. A self-reflection on the authors search for identity and self-esteem—a journey that takes us back more than 5 decades through heart-wrenching family crises and ecstatic personal surprises—offers more than the simple story of a girl/woman searching for her birth parents.
With an unparalleled and suspenseful structure—and a point of view linked to the narrator's blossoming maturity—this work actually defines spiritual evolution… in a manner accessible through poetry, illustrations, photographs, and 13 chapters of compelling narrative.

Stay the Rising Sun
by Phil Keith
Her crew called her the "Lady Lex" - see how her fierce battle turned the tide in the Allies' favor.
In May 1942, the United States' first naval victory against the Japanese in the Coral Sea was marred by the loss of the aircraft carrier USS Lexington. Another carrier was nearly ready for launch when the news arrived, so the navy changed her name to Lexington, confusing the Japanese.
The men of the original "Lady Lex" loved their ship and fought hard to protect her. They were also seeking revenge for the losses sustained at Pearl Harbor. Crippling attacks by the Japanese left her on fire and dead in the water. A remarkable 90 percent of the crew made it off the burning decks before Lexington had to be abandoned. In all the annals of the Second World War, there is hardly a battle story more compelling.

Stolen Innocence
Her life is boring and safe and just the way she likes it. However, Maura's safe cocoon is now being threatened both by the press' renewed interest in the twenty year old scandal and the attentions of her most recent patient—a thirty year old Wall Street investment banker whose black hair and blue eyes are oddly familiar.
Here we get all the drama and sadness but some happy times too—that's what I need. Five Stars, a great emotional read.
