by Eva JordanTesting, Testing, One, Two Teens Meet Lizzie, the exasperated mother of Cassie, Connor and Stepdaughter Maisy. She gets by with good friends, cheap wine and talking to herself. Teenager Cassie, the Facebook-tweeting, selfie-taking, music and mobile phone-obsessed daughter, hates everything about her life.

Lizzie and Cassie are forced to reassess the important things in life as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery… Although tragic at times this is a delightfully funny exploration of domestic love, hate, strength and ultimately friendship. A poignant, heartfelt look at that complex and diverse relationship between a mother and daughter set amongst the thorny realities of today’s divided and extended families.

19 Steps Up the Mountain
by Joseph P. BlankIt is the story of Dorothy and Bob DeBolt, who could not resist the appeal of children no one else wanted.

And the single most unforgettable story that will ever leave you with mist in your eyes and joy in your heart. "A tonic for cynical and disheartened readers...This book tells clearly what it takes to be successful parents, especially when J.R.-a blind paraplegic-conquers his fear and makes it up the 19-step staircase 'mountain' alone"
