An Island Far from Home
Set against the vivid backdrop of the Civil War, this is a timeless tale of friends and enemies, anguish and adventure. Dear Private John Meadows: My name is Joshua Loring.... My pa got killed at Fredericksburg so I don't much like Rebs. I'm joining the army as soon as I can.... I just hope the war doesn't end before I get my chance. And so begins the life-changing relationship between Joshua, a twelve-year-old from Massachusetts, and his unlikely pen pal, a lonely fourteen-year-old Confederate soldier imprisoned on George's Island. Joshua sends the letter at his uncle's request, although he's sure there isn't a Reb in the world he'd like. The events that follow force Joshua to confront his deepest feelings about the enemy and lead to the greatest adventure of his life.

The Last Days Of Dogtown
Beginning in 1814 at a funeral, THE LAST DAYS OF DOGTOWN is a portrait of a downtrodden Massachusetts town over the course of a decade. Populated by a large cast of sympathetic and colorful characters, the story follows their lives as they strive, fail, occasionally triumph, and often suffer. The focus of the story is the sad romance, thwarted by racism, between Judy Rhines, who is white, and Cornelius Finson, who is a free black man. Fittingly, the inhabitants of Dogtown include a population of dogs, some of whom contribute to the story.
