Greedy and impatient, tuberculosis, the nineteenth-century plague, relentlessly devoured its victims. With its boneshivering fevers, delirium, and blood-engorged lungs, the  “red death” indiscriminately killed thousands, leaving shattered and defeated families in its wake. Set in the majestic, untamed Adirondack Mountains of New York more than a century ago, an extraordinary story unfolds about the little-known town of Saranac Lake. The town is home to a man with tuberculosis, also known as consumption. It is here that he, Doctor Edward Livingston Trudeau, finds a hopeful cure for the disease that has destroyed so many lives. While Trudeau’s patients vary in age, class, and race, they have one thing in common – all choose to embrace life, even in the face of death. Christine has already lost two children to the dreaded plague. When her daughter, Collette, contracts the disease, she is determined to keep her alive. Venturing into unknown territory, Christine risks her health and marriage to help her daughter seek a cure. When Lena, a factory worker and mother of three, begins coughing up blood, she faces a decision no mother wants to make. She either stays with her family and risks death, or leaves her loved ones while she goes off in hope of a cure. Big Joe, once a strongman for a traveling circus, seeks a quiet place to live out his final days in hiding. A hunted man, Joe is terrified to learn he will be housed with the very people who could identify him. Little Amy, a six-year-old child, must care for her family of seven, all afflicted with different forms of the disease. Once Amy is diagnosed with a very rare form, she is placed under Dr. Trudeau’s care. Alone and afraid, Amy faces her fears and dreams of a future. With a cast of characters so vivid and remarkable, One Thousand Porches is a heart-warming, engaging story that will instill hope and faith in even the most pessimistic reader.

A rriving alone at the Willard Insane Asylum is daunting enough, but when you are a fifteen-year-old girl no longer wanted by your family, the implications are devastating. Iona Mueller’s quirk of counting her steps, along with her exploits in the woods, proved to be too much for her parents, particularly her pregnant mother. Yet, it wasn’t until she cut off her own hair that her parents took her to a doctor who declared her insane. Iona knows she isn’t anything like the patients who bang their heads against the cinder walls until they bleed or run naked through the hallways. She must escape before she truly does go mad. The doctor at the asylum believed Iona might benefit from a job. She was assigned to work at the farm that kept the asylum supplied with fresh foods. There, in the stables where she tended the horses, she met James. His kindness made the deprivation and horror of her situation more bearable. It was James who recognized that the violet hollows beneath her eyes, the bruises on her arms, and her apparent unraveling, were the result of being placed in the Second Ward, which was designated for those considered dangerous. Together, they formed a plan, one that would remove Iona from harm’s way permanently, lest she be sent to the mysterious back building, from which no one returned. In present day, Jenna, a young relative of Iona’s, is plagued with mental illness. Jenna’s odd behaviors, bizarre language, and confusion disrupt her once perfectly normal life. Jenna’s family members trace their roots back to Iona in hopes of understanding their predisposition to mental illness. Their journey leads them to an amazing discovery of belongings left behind by hundreds of patients at the Willard Asylum.

Is the simple life so simple? Lacey Williams is a driven and disciplined Annapolis real estate agent who has tirelessly created a successful life from scratch. It is, however, a life she has become disenchanted with. Yearning for a simpler way of life, she follows her heart and less practical intuitions for the first time in order to seek out her version of a more fulfilling life. There is no turning back once she sells her house, quits her job and moves to a rustic cabin in upstate New York. Eerie nights spent alone in the mountains, modest living quarters, harsh winters and regular sightings of an apparition in the woods become the least of her concerns when a river guide with a past crosses her path. Things are not always what they seem, though, and her strength and independent spirit fosters a new drive. Lacey Williams is more determined than ever to discover her true self while carving out the life she was meant to live.
