Book Description
Can you really recapture the magical Christmases of days gone by? That is the question Cassandra Dawson has been asking herself since her beloved grandparents passed away. How could she ever return to their home and experience Christmas there without them? Cassie has been living the high life in Toronto, working hard in the fashion industry, and leaving no time for her personal life. After her grandparents died three years ago, they left her their property on Dawson’s Lane, near St. John’s, Newfoundland. It was the place where Cassie had spent most of her childhood and every Christmas before they died. When her grandparents’ neighbour, Mr. Hudson, calls to tell her that he and his wife can no longer look after her grandparents’ place, Cassie must decide if it’s time to sell it. She hasn’t been to their home in three years, too overwhelmed with emotion to go there. But it is Christmastime, and her grandmother wanted her to continue to spend Christmas there. Guilty for not fulfilling her grandmother’s wishes after her death, Cassie decides to return to her grandparents’ home, feeling once she’s there, she’ll know what to do. The Hudsons enlist their grandson, Gabe, to help Cassie prepare the property to sell, in case that is her decision. Cassie hasn’t seen Gabe since they were children, and when he arrives, Cassie is astonished to find a handsome man in front of her. Strong memories of being in that home pull at her heartstrings, and Gabe offers Cassie the chance to recapture her wonderful Christmases spent on Dawson’s Lane. But will it be enough to make her stay?

My 21 Years in the White House
Author: Alonzo Fields
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1839740965
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
My 21 Years in the White House, first published in 1960, is the fascinating account by Alonzo Fields of his service as head butler under 4 presidents: Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower. Fields (1900-1994) began his employment at the White House in 1931, and kept a journal of his meetings with the presidents and their families; he would also meet important people like Winston Churchill, Princess Elizabeth of England, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, presidential cabinet members, senators, representatives, and Supreme Court Justices. He would also witness presidential decision-making at critical times in American history -- the attack on Pearl Harbor, the death of Franklin Roosevelt, the desegregation of the military, and the outbreak of hostilities in Korea. As Fields often told his staff, “...remember that we are helping to make history. We have a small part ... but they can't do much here without us. They've got to eat, you know.” Included are sample menus prepared for visiting heads-of-state and foreign dignitaries.
