Old Books and Faded Dreams invites readers into the heart of Tilden, a picturesque small town nestled in Madison County, Nebraska. At the story’s core is Maggie Davis, a resilient widow navigating the complexities of loss, motherhood, and the legacy of her grand Victorian estate. The manor, both a cherished home and a once-bustling bed-and-breakfast, now echoes with memories and the laughter of her spirited nine-year-old daughter, Jenna.

The kitchen table becomes a lively stage for the town’s most colorful personalities: Maggie’s outspoken, sharp-tongued neighbor, whose provocative opinions keep everyone on their toes, and an elderly, candid family member who has recently taken up permanent residence, balancing the household with wisdom and wit.

As Maggie grapples with the shadows of her husband’s tragic passing, she finds herself drawn to a mysterious new guest whose presence stirs hope and uncertainty. The tranquility of Tilden is shattered by a shocking death and a devious plot to steal Maggie’s inheritance, casting suspicion within her own family. When a long-buried secret emerges from an attic trunk, it threatens to unravel the family’s esteemed reputation and cherished bonds.

Through heartbreak, scandal, and the healing power of friendship, Maggie and the townspeople must confront painful truths and rediscover the meaning of love and forgiveness. Old Books and Faded Dreams is a poignant, uplifting tale of community, resilience, and the enduring magic of second chances.

Leaving the Tribe - a searing look into the future by Peg Herring

GET THIS BOOK ON AMAZON

Following a traumatic murder and a public hanging, sisters Milla and Zalea decide they must escape from the Woods Tribe. It’s the only home they’ve ever known, but as females, they are subservient to men’s rules. While they once enjoyed protected status, being the Leader’s granddaughters, his death means they’ve instantly become chattel, to be handed out as wives to whichever men the new leader chooses.

Zalea is startlingly beautiful. Milla is unable to speak. Their distinctions will work against their need to go unnoticed, but they see no other choice. In the dead of night, they leave the tribe.

The girls travel southward, looking for the father Zalea thought was dead. They encounter many different tribes, each formed on the basis of ethnicity and function. While Leaders decide the local rules, all tribes are united under six Commanders and a head of state, Chief Vox. Separate but equal is, people have been taught for twenty years, the best way for a nation to operate.

Back in the Woods Tribe, a surprising awakening occurs. The disappearance of Milla and Zalea brings another woman to the conclusion that she too must escape. Pushing aside her secrets and past mistakes, she will take the risks she could not face until now. Her journey, though different from the younger girls’, is also fraught with danger. The underside of Fairica is rotten and cruel, but she learns there are still those who are trustworthy and courageous.

Within this unique book’s pages are daring rescues and clever deceptions. Determined rebels engage and defeat smug villains. Strong characters pull readers into the story, entertaining them with action and creativity. The resolution is satisfying, crafted with both honesty and hopefulness.

Woven into the powerful story are possibly inflammatory questions about society. What happens when women are made second-class citizens? What is the result of separating people into tribes by religion, ethnicity, and values? Would we be happier, or at least more content, if we lived in a group where we felt accepted, supported, and justified?

You will be captivated by this action-driven account of Milla and Zalea and their courageous journey. You will cheer for them as they fight the Powers that want to “put them in their place.” It’s a great story, but remember—behind it all is the disturbing possibility that Fairica is the future.

Hidden Histories: The Lost Mu Civilization in the Pacific Ocean by Stephanie K. L. Lam

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Civilization-Pacific-Ocean-Hidden-History-ebook/dp/B0G2F4YXDD

The Lost Mu Civilization in the Pacific Ocean is a book that directly pits the enduring legend of Mu against the hard evidence of modern archaeology. 

Author Stephanie K. L. Lam traces the myth of a lost Pacific civilization from its 19th-century origins through its rise in esoteric circles, and then beyond the debunking into the genuine wonders of the Pacific that the myth has long overshadowed.

Lam guides readers through the megalithic stone cities of Nan Madol and the remarkable true history of Oceania’s seafaring peoples, offering a narrative that replaces fantasy with a truth that is, as the book argues, far more compelling. The book does not simply ask what we believe about Mu it explores why we need such myths, and what humanity’s hunger for origin stories reveals about our own world.

Everwoven: A Memoir. A Reckoning.-- a memoir by Megan Margherio

Weaving together her present reflections with personal dialogue between her current and former selves, “Everwoven: A Memoir. A Reckoning” by Megan Margherio invites readers into the intimate, nonlinear landscape of healing. Set largely within her inner world, the memoir is stitched from the quiet places most are too afraid to name: neglect, childhood sexual abuse, partner violence, self-abandonment and the ache of being alive but unseen. Told through lyrical vignettes and raw conversations with her former selves, Margherio doesn’t just walk readers through the trauma. She brings them into its aftermath: the shame that lingers, the numbness that protects, the grief that destabilizes, the self-blame that distorts the truth and the fragile, often resistant return to self. By personifying these younger selves on the page, she gives voice to the parts of herself where survival required silence. Moving beyond the limits of chronological storytelling, “Everwoven” reads not only as a memoir, but as an active inner reckoning. Its structure mirrors the way trauma fractures identity and how healing often begins: by turning toward the selves we had to leave behind. The result is a rare kind of intimacy. One that allows readers to not only observe healing in real-time, but feel its complexity from the inside. It’s a testament to resilience, an offering of grace and an invitation to step into the wild, beautiful, complicated landscapes of your own heart and realize you were never walking them alone.
