Catherine's past warmed her with contented pride. Disguised as her alter-ego, Shadow, she had protected the villagers of her land, holding off wolves' heads and bringing justice to the weak. Her life provided everything she could have dreamed of. Her future, in comparison, was bleak and desolate. Her council ordered her to submit to the courtships of Lord Epworth, a coward whose chosen path was to flee the chaos of the land and retreat to Ireland. The lecher seemed fully intent on keeping his stable of mistresses at his side as well. In the depths of her despair, Lord Epworth's foster son, Jack, shone out as a beacon of honor and courage. But with so much at stake, could she go against the loyalties due her family and follow instead the passionate urgings of her heart?

"My stories delve into the sense that each of us is alone in our world. Our struggles and challenges exist within our own minds, often unknown and unknowable by those around us. The horror in my stories involves the dark hole of emptiness which can fester in all of us. As such, my stories rarely contain gore or violence. Rather, they are about the blackness within our souls which threatens to well out and destroy us."--Page 4 of cover.

In 1824, before the Civil War, Joshua Armsby had mourned his beloved wife for seven long years. He had two young boys. Now he was ready to start anew, having courted and won the hand of Sarah Woodbury. If he was going to expand his family, he needed a house. His father gave him a beautiful stretch of land in Sutton, Massachusetts. Joshua built a beautiful two-story house with a shed, shop, and large barn. He and Sarah had six more children, bringing their family to a full eight. They raised cows and horses, pigs and chickens, and their stunning fields were lush and fertile. John's extended family would enjoy their farm for over a hundred years. It then went through a few more hands, including being the showcase for Vaillancourt Folk Art, before becoming its current treasure - the home of the Enchanted Passage Bookstore. Come learn more about the Armsbys and their family members. This family was highly educated. Many members served as teachers and professors, others as representatives in government. This family has definitely left its mark on Sutton and on the world beyond.

Family. In Spanish that's familia. In Italian, famiglia. In Irish it is teaghlaigh and in Polish it's rodzina. Throughout history, family has always been a complicated topic. It's that complexity which brings a family its joy and strength. There is of course the biologic construction of a family. A sperm meets an egg and their DNA mix randomly together. What results is a completely unique one-of-a-kind person. Even with identical twins there are subtle differences, because DNA tends to have mutations as it splits and grows, and because chemicals in the womb can sometimes impact one embryo more than another. No two people are ever alike. Birth mother, birth father, and child. A family is not just about these three specific individuals. There are in many cases full siblings, half-siblings, and step-siblings. There can be a range of aunts and uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers, stepparents and guardians. Sometimes this collection of people is wholly and full-heartedly supportive. At other times, with people being the unique individuals that they are, they can have their own views on life. And that's where the "chosen family" comes in. We always have the ability to choose and make our own family. We decide who we wish to fall in love with and spend our lives with. We choose to bring additional lives into our universe, whether it's by having biologic children, adopting children, forging connections with true friends of all ages, or any other combination of relationships. Family is about a cheerleading squad. It's about having the support you need to reach your goals. It's about knowing, when life gets you down, that a group of people are there to hold you tight and to help you back up on your feet again. Family is to be treasured. Enjoy this collection of poetry, essays, short stories, memories, photos, and drawings which celebrate the wondrous diversity which is family.
