Depression is currently recognized as the most prevalent emotional problem affecting women. The "blues" may be a passing reaction to disappointment or loss, a response to overwhelming daily stress, or related to a biological factor such as PMS or postpartum changes. But whatever the cause, self-care and new ways of thinking are always part of the solution. In 365 daily meditations, Bright Words For Dark Days provides specific information and gentle, step-by-step guidance to lift the gloom. Each entry begins with a provocative quotation and ends with an affirmation for the day. The topics treated range from low self-esteem, fear of the future and self-destructive thoughts, to dealing with family troubles, holiday depressions, and seeking medical help.

This 1934 Pulitzer Prize winner tells the story of a pair of young newlyweds in antebellum rural Georgia. The Pulitzer Prize-winner Lamb in His Bosom tells the story of Cean and Lonzo, a young couple who begin their married lives two decades before the Civil War in a land where nature is hostile, the seasons dictate the law, and the days are punctuated by the hard work of the land. Cean and Lonzo’s only wealth is their hands, their obstinacy, and their love. By the time Cean is forty-three, she has borne fourteen children, buried five of them and her husband, and survived civil war, a venomous snakebite, a ferocious panther attack, and a deadly house fire. Neither life, nor the din of history has spared her. More than just a war history, author Caroline Miller’s quietly lyrical prose style pays poignant tribute to a woman’s life lived close to nature.

'Heart Land' is a fictional memoir of a bright and reckless boy growing up in rural Ohio in 1939, at the close of the Depression and before America's entrance into World War II. Sleepy farming community, Ockley Green, is a place where a kid with an active imagination is as likely to try to convince his younger brother that monsters do live under their beds as he is to learn from the men who gather at the local diner to talk crops and politics. In this Norman-Rockwell-type world, Oliver creates mischief, makes mistakes, and learns about taking responsibility -- important lessons in the making of a man. Instruction begins when Bodacious Scurvy, the town's notorious alley cat, crosses Oliver's path and gives him an idea. Author Caroline Miller has a painterly eye for details and imbues her storytelling with fire side warmth. 'Heart Land' is a novel full of heart and humor and full bodied characters.
