"What we want to do is give our women even more liberty than they have.
Let them do any kind of work that they see fit, and if they do it as
well as men, give them the same pay." -William F. Cody-1899
With
rough-riding cowboys, sure shots, and fantastic reenactments of battles

popular - and some of the most popular cowboys in it were girls.
Buffalo Gals tells the stories and celebrates the achievements of these
thrill-seeking women, through historic photos, stunning, authentic
publicity posters, and the meticulous research of western history
writer Chris Enss.

John Sanbrook's debut work is a fascinating biography of the lives and times of his parents, Jack and Elizabeth Sanbrook. "It all began at the turn of the twentieth century. Times were hard in the United Kingdom."
John "Jack" William Sanbrook was born in March of 1907; his father deserted wife and son soon after. Young Jack had a thirst for knowledge, but poverty denied him his education and class discrimination severely limited his prospects. In 1929, fate lent a hand; the Shanghai Municipal Police Force needed officers and Jack answered the call. He would discover a true love of justice and the law in a land filled with beauty, danger, and luxuries he could never have enjoyed in his native England. In time, Elizabeth would become his wife and they would begin their family. In 1942, with the Japanese occupation of the International Settlement in Shanghai, the Sanbrooks’ idyllic life came to a close. "The family had been caught up like rats in a trap. Their lives were now in hostile hands."
From the early years of Jack's work with the Shanghai Municipal Police, through the family's World War II years in the concentration camp, later work for the War Crimes Commission in the jungles of Borneo, and the Sanbrooks’ eventual emigration to America, In My Father's Time opens a window on the dramatic changes that made the world we see today.
As the voices from that era fall silent one by one, this book is a welcome and valuable record of a vanished world. "It is my parent's story. One that I felt needed to be told."
This reader would agree.
Review written by DJ Nold, the former Copy Editor of The Business Journal of Yuba and Sutter Counties, and author of two published fantasy-adventure novels, Raven's Fate and True Companions .

Sherrie is faced with when her life is tragically cut short at the age
of fourteen. Overcome with a sense of loss and desperation, Sherrie is
suddenly thrust into the unknown and a Heaven she never could have

Sera, she must review her own life in order to move on to the next
level. In order to do this, she must learn to let go of the things—and
people—she cares for, come to terms with her unhappy past, accept that
which she cannot change, and forgive the mother who never loved her.

that we don’t notice the air we are breathing, we do not notice a lot
of things that are around us. One of them is time. We do live in four-
