Book Description
The Thomas Ward is like a small stream in the mountains, that emerges from a tiny spring and trickles on down the hillside to join the creek on its way to the river. No attempt has been made to get all the information, about all the people who live, or have lived, within its boundaries. Neither is the material collected, considered to be the most important or free from errors. This book is just "a cup of water" dipped from the little stream, as it journeys on its way, no attempt is made to dip up all the water or stop its flow. It is hoped, that like the cup of cool water from the tiny stream, this book will refresh the reader, and the stream of time flows on. To those pioneers, both young and old who had the courage to combine all the natural resources which the creator so wisely stored in these mountains, rivers and valleys along with the brawn and brain that He gave man. The Miracle of the Desert came to be.

Book Description
The inspiration for the Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney—exclusively in theaters December 25, 2023! The #1 New York Times bestselling true story about the American rowing triumph of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—from the author of Facing the Mountain For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

Book Description
In this epic tale of friendship, family, and romance in World War II England, a young noblewoman must choose between her inheritance and the man she loves. To many, Lady Sophia Somerville appears to live a privileged life. Still, it’s a life full of obstacles to be overcome . . . As a student at The Ashwick Park School, Sophia meets classmate Edwina Phillips. The two become the best of friends, but it is all put to the test by an unbelievable betrayal . . . Sophia’s debutante season is much anticipated. Yet when she falls in love with physician and RAF Group Captain Spencer Stanton, theirs is a relationship her parents cannot bless . . . Sophia’s parents appear to be the epitome of grace, charm and dignity, but that’s far from the truth. Her father is charismatic but unscrupulous, while her beautiful mother is prone to fits of rage. And as terrible as they may seem, Sophia still yearns for their approval—even as her values begin to turn away from theirs. Soon, long held family secrets emerge and threaten to destroy the Somervilles. Sophia is faced with an untenable decision: whether to hold fast to her beliefs and cut ties with her family or continue to be the dependent little girl her parents insist she is. Ultimately, Sophia must face the challenge of comprehending, forgiving, and loving her profoundly imperfect family.
