Annie's Stories
by Cindy Thomson
The year is 1901, the
literary sensation The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is taking New York City by
storm, and everyone wonders where the next great book will come from. But to
Annie Gallagher, stories are more than entertainment—they’re a sweet reminder
of her storyteller father. After his death, Annie fled Ireland for the land of
dreams, finding work at Hawkins House.
But when a fellow
boarder with something to hide is accused of misconduct and authorities
threaten to shut down the boardinghouse, Annie fears she may lose her new
friends, her housekeeping job . . . and her means of funding her dream: a
memorial library to honor her father. Furthermore, the friendly postman shows a
little too much interest in Annie—and in her father’s unpublished stories. In
fact, he suspects these tales may hold a grand secret.
Though the postman’s intentions seem pure, Annie
wants to share her father’s stories on her own terms. Determined to prove
herself, Annie must forge her own path to aid her friend and create the future
she’s always envisioned . . . where dreams really do come true.

Beautiful Rachel wants
nothing more than for her older half sister Leah to wed and move out of their
household. Maybe then she would not feel so scrutinized, so managed, so judged.
Plain Leah wishes her father Laban would find a good man for her, someone who
would love her alone and make her his only bride. Unbeknownst to either of
them, Jacob is making his way to their home, trying to escape a past laced with
deceit and find the future God has promised him.
But the past comes back to
haunt Jacob when he finds himself on the receiving end of treachery and the
victim of a cruel bait and switch. The man who wanted only one woman will end
up with sisters who have never gotten along and now must spend the rest of
their lives sharing a husband. In the power struggles that follow, only one
woman will triumph . . . or will she?

It is Jay Bartlett's first day as an ambulance
driver. Instead of simply delivering his patient to the hospital safely, he
hits a pedestrian as they arrive. The victim, Jordan James, is just arriving at
the hospital to tend to her husband, who has had a heart attack. Instead of
keeping vigil by his side, she is thrown into a coma and her own medical
emergency. In his guilt, Jay drops his own life and stays with Jordan. Their
lives soon become intertwined both in the present as well as in the past as a
story of love over time unfolds.
