A twentieth century woman time travels to Revolutionary America and finds intrigue and romance in this “well-plotted” thriller from a New York Times bestseller (Kirkus Reviews). Jan Wilde’s much-needed vacation in Williamsburg, Virginia, is anything but restful. Here in this historic restored colonial village, her sleep is invaded by strangers from two centuries in the past.

Book Description
What happened to our nation? The United States of America that the founding fathers created was driven by much different values than those that permeate the government and much of society today. John Mogen, a conservative retiree and true patriot in every sense of the word, can no longer sit back and watch his beloved country slide further and further away from what it was intended to be. Determined to make a positive change, he decides to write a fictional book about restoring the Constitution. However, when he shares his idea with his brother-in-law, Carl, he sets into motion a much larger chain of events than he ever could have imagined. With the help of his loving wife, Jaylynn, and the Arlington Colonels' Club, consisting of four former military leaders, including brother-in-law Carl, John embarks on a quest to form a new republic of red and religious states called the Western Southern Alliance (WSA). Hundreds of allies from coast to coast secretly work together to support John, who has agreed to be the face of the restoration-the civilian militia commander leading the effort. John and Jaylynn know that this endeavor has only three possible outcomes: death, prison, or success. What will come of this bold and audacious plan? Will these patriots achieve their goal-or die trying? Read A Patriot's Dream to learn their fate-and the fate of this great nation called the United States of America!

Book Description
Jacob Klund, curious about what's in his deceased grandma's attic, snoops around. He finds a trunk full of old papers. Jacob's father, a history teacher, identifies this as a great treasure because of the dates on the papers, diaries, letters, and documents. The family decides to read through them at "sharing times," after dinner. The trunk cache reveals detailed family history dating back to 1738. While immersed in the trunk's contents, the Klund family restores grandma's house and cheers for Liz, Jacob's sister, at regional and state spelling bees. They watch the civil rights movement on television and worry about the nuclear threat from the Soviets. As the 1960s begin, Allen Klund, Jacob's dad, perceives subtle changes in America's worldview and follows closely historic Supreme Court decisions that could affect his future in public education. He shares his concerns with his wife, Harriet, but he continues to teach in the system. Jacob, the novel's narrator, graduates from law school and joins a firm that handles freedom-of-religion cases. It is a step that his father hesitated to take, and he is proud of his son. Reflecting on the potential effects of Darwinism and Marxism, Jacob concludes the novel with a scathing parable called "The Project."

Book Description
Love them or hate them, what the New England Patriots have been able to do over the past fifteen years is nothing short of remarkable. In addition to their four Super Bowl championships, the Patriots have the best coach in the league, a smart and savvy front office, and a future Hall of Fame quarterback who is internationally recognized as the face of the NFL. The longer the Patriots continue to dominate on the field as well as in the media and the American pop culture landscape, the harder it becomes for anyone to remember them as something other than a model franchise and the ultimate paradigm of success and accomplishment. Anyone, that is, except for Jerry Thornton. It wasn't always sunshine and roses for the Patriots; in fact, for the bulk of their existence, it was exactly the opposite. Though difficult to fathom now, the New England Patriots of old weren't just bad - they were laughably bad. Not so long ago, the Pats were the laughingstock of not only the NFL but also the entire sporting world. From Darkness to Dynasty tells the unlikely history of the New England Patriots as it has never been told before. From their humble beginnings as a team bought with rainy-day money by a man who had no idea what he was doing to the fateful season that saw them win their first Super Bowl, Jerry Thornton shares the wild, humiliating, unbelievable, and wonderful stories that comprised the first forty years of what would ultimately become the most dominant franchise in NFL history. Witty, hilarious, and brutally honest, From Darkness to Dynasty returns to the thrilling, perilous days of yesteryear - a welcome corrective for those who hate the Patriots and a useful reminder for those who love them that all glory is fleeting.
