Book Description
Frankie is honored when the Tyler Creek Park and Recreation District ask her to run the Christmas at the Caverns holiday market. As the owner of the Snowdrift Christmas Shop in downtown Tyler Creek, Christmas is her business and her life. Unfortunately, the "enchanted" caverns where the holiday market is held are proving to be cursed instead. Two weeks into December and the Santas keep quitting on her. Whether it be illness, a minor accident, or a scheduling mishap, Frankie can't keep a single holly-jolly behind in Santa's sleigh. When Frankie's friend and fellow shop owner, Liv, suggests her brother Luca for the Santa position, Frankie questions Liv's intentions. Luca hates Christmas and everyone in Tyler Creek knows it. In fact, despite going on three wonderful dates, Frankie and Luca decided they could never work because of his distaste for her absolute favorite thing. Yet, when Luca survives and apparently enjoys his first time playing Santa, Frankie wonders if she and Luca might get a second chance at love - her Christmas wish come true.

Book Description
Skye Perry and Lucas Lee each have their reasons for sneaking in through the back door of the Pinwheel Plant Shop to attend a macramé class. Since her divorce, Skye goes nowhere without her dog, Rooster, and he’s technically not allowed in the shop. Lucas (a.k.a. Lee Stone), well, he’s a famous rock star lying low in Braverton until his stalker goes on trial in California. When Lucas’ therapist suggests he enroll in a crafty class to take his mind off his trauma, he waits until the last minute and is stuck taking macramé (whatever that is) in the suburbs. Lucas expects his classmates to be women of a certain age. Instead, he’s pleasantly surprised to find himself tying knots with a cute dog trainer who has no idea who rocker Lee Stone is. Skye would be perfectly fine hanging out in her studio apartment with Rooster or spending all her time at Girl’s Best Friend—her dog adoption center specifically geared toward female identifying clientele. But her mom thought it was time she met some new humans and gave her a gift card to the Pinwheel for Christmas, so Skye signed up for a class. After Rooster falls asleep under Lucas’ chair, Skye considers that maybe she was meant to meet just this one special human. Falling hard and fast for one another, Lucas and Skye throw caution to the wind and go on a date in public even though they’re risking the wrong people discovering where Lucas is. When the inevitable happens, can the dog trainer and the rock star untangle themselves from their pasts to be together, or will they leave each other hanging?

When Pinwheel Plant Shop delivery driver, Amos Finch, who is hard of hearing, accidentally mixes up the cards on two Valentine’s Day deliveries, he ends up giving wannabe ASL interpreter Petra Dylan a heartleaf philodendron from a secret admirer who isn’t admiring her.

Petra, whose “for now” job is at the Secondhand Rose vintage thrift shop, has noticed cute deaf guy Amos around Old Town before and much to her surprise, he’s noticed her too.

The two spend Valentine’s Day together, delivering plants and food, strolling through residential Old Town Braverton, visiting friends, and talking, talking, talking.

Book Description
How does a blatant lying in TV commercials—like Joe Isuzu's manic claims—create public trust in a product or a company? How does a company associated with a disaster, Exxon or Du Pont for example, restore its reputation? What is the real story behind the rendering of the now infamous Joe Camel? And what is the deeper meaning of living in an ad, ad, ad world? For a decade, journalist Leslie Savan has been exposing the techniques used by advertisers to push products and pump up corporate images. In the lively essays in this collection, Savan penetrates beneath the slick surfaces of specific ads and marketing campaigns to show how they reflect and shape consumer desires. Savan's interviews with ad agencies and corporate clients—along with her insightful analyses of influential TV sports—reveal how successful advertising works. Ads do more than command attention. They are signposts to the political, cultural, and social trends that infiltrate the individual consumer's psyche. Think of the products associated with corporate mascots—the drum-beating bunny, the cereal-pushing tiger, the doughboy—that have become pop culture icons. Think cool. Think of the clothing manufacturer that uses multiracial imagery. Think progressive. Buy their worldview, buy their product. When virtually every product can be associate with some positive self-image, we are subtly refashioned into the advertiser's concept of a good citizen. Like it or not, we lead "the sponsored life."

Book Description
I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.
