The 'Amber Room" treasure hunt is different from most searches for riches; it actually begins at the end of a war as a quest for blood and bone-men, desperate criminal men, trying to avoid prosecution for war crimes. The Allies are trying to capture these men, who now seek refuge in the West, by slipping by their captors disguised as ordinary citizens. Wolves pretending to be sheep; rats masquerading mice.hence the tag line for their route, a Rat Line. Our heroes are counterintelligence GI's, who have a hard time convincing their superiors that such a Rat Line really exists. They even risk...

Who is lying? A child comes home and reports that he has had sex with his teacher. At the same time, a teacher reports to her principal that she has received a note from a student wherein the student threatens to tell the world that they (the student and the teacher) have had sex unless the teacher gives him a passing grade. If you set this conflict in a poor, rural community where rumor is king and backyard gossip is the coin of the realm, you have an explosive drama best compared to "To Kill a Mockingbird." Add to this that the teacher is a first-year, pretty young thing from out-of-state...

Buzzy comes home to Rodanthe on Hatteras Island to discover the love of his life, a beautiful ainoko (Japanese for Love Child) has taken their child and fled to her family's home in West Virginia because she felt alienated by their Jap-hating neighbors. With his father's blessing, money, and manpower, Buzzy sets out to bring them back. They are met by a hail of bullets resulting in the death of Lotty's mother.
Feeling sad and alone, Lotty flees again with the child only then discovering he has cystic fibrosis. She takes any job and does whatever is necessary to keep the boy alive and...

Auburn Jackson was alone, ignorant, and pregnant, but not unBibled. She had sinned and was punished with a brain-damaged child to raise in the impoverished wilds of West Virginia. But she had spunk and the guile of the street-smart, and she believed in the innate goodness in all. So armed, Auburn guts out a nursing degree while caring for her child, only to see him die like his father in a mine. Thinking to redeem herself from God's wrath, Auburn takes a nursing job for handicapped youth on Hatteras Island and finds happiness and fulfillment for a time. She revels in loving an Indian child...

A century after the close of the Civil War, Yankees stage another foray into Dixie, this time the objective is control of a venerable beloved insurance company-The Southland. In terms reminiscent of Sherman's assault on Atlanta, Baltimore stockbrokers attempt to gain control of an institution as emblematic of southern culture and manners as Tara in "Gone With the Wind." Fought this time with proxies and ballots instead of musket balls, this conflict puts to the test the hearts and minds of a generation who thought they had outgrown the biases and prejudices of the survivors of the War Between...
