2014 RONE AWARD FINALIST. A compelling historical fiction tale of four strangers who come together in the aftermath of the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900-the deadliest hurricane in US history. More than 6,000 people died that fateful day and the island was left a sea of brokenness. As the four diverse strangers cling to each other amidst the devastation in an attempt to survive, they change each other in ways they never would have imagined. It's more than a story about a tragic storm, it's about human spirit triumphing over unimaginable adversity.

ENDORSED BY THE UNITED STATES WORLD WAR ONE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION. The year is 1918. The Great War rages overseas and the Spanish Flu pandemic claims victims worldwide. On the U.S. home front, the Women's Rights Movement has transformed into a conflict all its own. Yet for battle-weary Lieutenant Lucky McLaren, time seems to stand still when destiny introduces him to an Italian beauty named Antonia Trillery, a suffragette running from a fear of love and a crime she didn't commit. Is their love enough to save them both as they fight to make their two very different worlds become one? Filled with history and passion, Lucky's Way is a stirring testament to the power of belief and self-discovery-to hopes lost and found again.

The year is 1934. Economic turbulence rocks the country. And record drought dries up crops, along with the spirits of every farmer south of the Mason-Dixon. Yet for sixteen-year-old Mick McLaren, life is good as he takes to the open road to chase his dream of being a musician. Riding boxcars, hitchhiking, walking and driving his way across Depression Era Texas, he finds not only himself, but the love of a girl from Dallas named Margaret. Along the way, they befriend Cowboy Larson, a Delta Blues guitarist. Together the three teens, from three very different worlds, come of age as their life-changing journey carries them through killer dust storms, extreme poverty, and the unprecedented gangster activity of the Dirty Thirties.
