Description
Normandy, 1940's. In the small town of Marigny, news of the Wehrmacht advance circulates, the continuing trickle of refugees an uncomfortable sign of times to come. As the German Occupation tightens its grip on everyday life, Lucette struggles to suppress her irresistible attraction to a young friend of her husband's, active in the Resistance. Her daughter has already fallen for Lucien, his charming but feckless brother.
Inspired by true life stories of a community under occupation, a poignant drama of conflicting loyalty and love unfolds, as family and friends are irrevocably drawn into the theatre of war. With the advent of D-day, lives are imperilled and relationships tested to the limits of endurance. What will be left for them once the turbulence of war subsides, when the chaos of Liberation finally ushers in a long awaited peace?

Person
Many of us are animal lovers. Most of us first became attracted to animals when we were small children. Such is the story of Rose Miller. Like many young girls, Rose was born with a deep love for all animals, but especially horses. The family moved to a Pennsylvania hill-top farm where at 15, Rose got Smokey, her first horse. It would be many years later after getting married, moving to Indiana, adding 4 children to the family, and surviving a deadly tornado before Rose got her chance to raise nationally acclaimed Tennessee Walking Horses. Accumulating dogs and cats was simply a part of life. Some fostered, adopted, or purchased, some kept and others re-homed, but all with a story to tell.
Now nearly 40 years later, she has shared her memories in: The Horse That Wouldn't Trot, Mules, Mules and More Mules, and Dogs, Dogs and More Dogs. ¬¬¬ The family sold their large Indiana horse farm in 2012, and moved to Arizona. The latest book addition: Girls Can be Cowboys Too is about the fascinating, sometimes dangerous, but always educational lives of Western women. Not all are on real ranches, but all have a devout love of the land and their animals
The books are educational in a conversational style, but mainly written for the enjoyment of the reader. All books are suitable for every age reader.
