Home is Where the Heart Is
by Mildred Mastin PaceA novel by MILDRED MASTIN PACE author of clara barton, juliette low, etc. This is the story of Brady Allen and of how she found a home and romance with the bewildering, lovable Marstons. When Brady's father left the mountain and went off to look for work, he left Brady to live with the Marstons in their rambling farm called The Houses. And to Brady, coming from a small cabin, it seemed that perhaps she would never belong to this strange, wonderful household. She could scarcely accustom herself to mornings in the family classroom, to sitting at the long kitchen table piled with good food, to sharing with Sally the deep feather bed under the eaves. Secretly she feared that when Judge Marston returned from his circuit, he might not even want her. But Brady had a loving heart, and with each day she became more a part of The Houses. It was Brady who delighted little Fernie's heart at Christmas. It was Brady who sat long hours spinning with Granny. It was Brady who kept the secret that made it possible for Miss Nell to run off and marry Trink. And it was to Brady that Bob turned when he needed help in hiding the out- lander, the railroad man whom Sally loved, but whom the Judge forbade The Houses. Because of Bob especially, Brady knew she would always be a part of the Marston family, that the motto she had worked on a sampler is true: "Home Is Where the Heart Is." MILDRED MASTIN PACE is well known as the author of such successful biographies as juliette low; clara barton; early american: the story of paul revere; and friend of animals: the story of henry bergh. Her first novel for young people is a warm and memorable story which will make her audience larger than ever.

After an ambush by the French while on a routine surveillance mission, Will Marshall and David Archer are advised to retreat to the English countryside to avoid Bonaparte's animosity for a time. Upon their arrival, they discover that David's eldest brother has died after a mysterious accident and this puts his other, very unsuitable brother in line for the title. David's suspicions--that the new heir had a hand in his brother's death--seem so unreasonable that even Will finds it difficult to believe his fears are valid. If Davy thought his lover was hard to convince, his autocratic father, who still sees him as the inept youngest son, won't even listen to him. Davy and Will are thrust into the role of sleuths, trying to determine the truth behind the mystery. All the while Will has concerns of his own: his fear of losing Davy is still stronger than his desire to keep Davy beside him on the quarterdeck... but he knows no other life than the Navy.First Edition published by Cheyenne Publishing/Bristlecone Pine Press, 2010
