On the barren stretches that separated our Arizona ranch from the historic gold-mining towns of Tombstone, Gleeson and Bisbee, teepee-like ant hills, eerie mirages, and devil-winds spinning up dry river beds created an alien dimension to life . . . add to that the dust filled air, cactuses, mesquite, and a world in shades of gray. Now, come walk with me, and listen to the voices and heartbeats of all God's creatures that lived and loved and brightened our world each day. Christopher Willcox, Editor-in-Chief of Reader's Digest reviews, "Penny Porter has made more people laugh and cry with her animal stories than any other author whose work has appeared in Reader's Digest. She is an original, and her book is warm, funny and wise."

A storm lived in the little house on Second Street in Tucson, Arizona. No one was supposed to know about the midnight yelling screaming fights between the Police Captain and his charming second wife.
 Three terrified children knew. They hid under the covers, piled pillows over their heads and tried to sleep so they could earn the straight A's in school that were demanded of them.
 Teachers knew when they saw and tended to the lacerations on arms and legs of two of the children.
 The stepmother knew, and was able to protect her daughters from physical harm, but she couldn't protect them from the everyday toxic emotional, spiritual and intellectual abuse that the father meted out because he loved them.
 Why was the father - a handsome, intelligent, charming narcissist- that way? Everyday decisions that gradually turned into evil acts became common. How did only one of his four children come to lead a relatively normal life? How did she break the chain of abuse and raise three loving children? Why did each of his four wives regret they married him while his daughter enjoys and revels in fifty-five years of one happy marriage?
 EVERYDAY EVIL answers unaskable questions. It is written from a recovered heart and will touch yours.

Everyday Evil: Even when forgiven, abuse is never forgotten

The first of its kind to explore the Nobel Prize experience! "Dad, some guy is calling from Sweden." It was 2:30am on October 13th, 1998, the youngest son in the Laughlin house had answered the phone. His dad had just become a recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics. Frantic and funny events of the next two months are chronicled as the Laughlin's academic household morphs into a madcap staging area for the family and thirty guests who will be in attendance during Nobel week. From tickets to Stockholm to clothing measurements, Nobel lecture preparations, attaché assistance and a quick trip to the White House for a formal reception with President and Mrs. Clinton, readers will laugh out loud while gasping in awe. The glorious Nobel ceremony and elaborate banquet is held each winter with a viewing audience of tens of millions. An intimate dinner with King Gustaf in his royal palace follows the Nobel evening in which Anita Laughlin finds herself the King's dinner partner for what becomes an evening of hilarious surprises, and yes, reindeer. This book is laced with cartoons drawn by Bob Laughlin that evoke collective feelings of surprise and bewilderment as he and his wife ascend the steep learning curve of Swedish protocol together.

"The Second Chasm" is a story that belongs to the twenty million people in the United States alone who suffer from depression. Six years after an emotionally devastating divorce, the author read "The Cracker Factory" and learned that the symptoms she had experienced were classical among those who are clinically depressed. This knowledge brought her healing and self-understanding. Just five years after reading the book, her second husband was killed in an accident, and soon after, she descended into a second chasm of depression. Perhaps the most compelling feature of "The Second Chasm" is that it was written by an average person who experiences grief not unlike that of so many others. It is not a story of the greatest tragedy or the most difficult challenge; rather, it is the story of a common tragedy and an all-too familiar challenge. It is unique because it bridges two of the most common losses faced in this world: divorce and widowhood. The two separate chasms that resulted not from grief, but from depression, were born of the same illness. The recoveries offer a message of hope, as she describes the journey from despair to healing.

Amelia Earhart disappeared from the world's radar in the 1930s, but she has not been forgotten. Breathe the Sky is a fresh and provocative portrait of the legendary pilot whose courage and charisma have dazzled millions. It is also the first novel to reveal the dark side of Earhart's fame-and the dangerous, madcap course of her final voyage. Venturing where history and biography have not, Breathe the Sky takes the reader on Earhart's last expedition along the equatorial line, through wild storms, across endless desert and jungle, and over shark-infested waters. With stark, nimble prose, Prasad brings Earhart to life once more, securing her place in the pantheon of great explorers, while inspiring risk and adventure in readers.
