There’s a wedding band, worn thin around the edges. I’ll never understand how he landed this thing without killing me, too. When we took off, the ground temperature was in the single digits. We couldn’t have fallen more than five hundred feet when Grover dipped the wing. The control panel sits dark, unlit. Every few minutes the GPS on the dash will flicker, then go black again. Makes snotty, gurgling sounds when he breathes. He’s shivering and the wrinkles around his eyes are quivering. Whenever the wind howls, he jumps up and growls at it.

Trying to get home to her fiancé and a rehearsal dinner. Right shoulder is dislocated and left femur is broken. I guess the storm finally caught us. If I don’t get us wrapped in something…we’ll freeze to death before daylight.

"The timeless biblical themes...are beautifully portrayed and brought to life through her unforgettable characters." "My heart and soul were profoundly shaken as I realized anew the lessons portrayed through the stories of Hosea and Gomer, Michael and Angel.

A collection of Father Tim's favorite words of wisdom and spiritual inspiration--from the bestselling author of At Home in Mitford and Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good For years, Mitford’s Father Tim Kavanagh has transcribed into his dog-eared journals words of wisdom, faith, and encouragement.

Georgia Hunter pulled me into another world, vivid, horrifying, astonishing, and heartbreaking.” — Lauren Belfer , New York Times bestselling author of And After the Fire , A Fierce Radiance , and City of Light . “ We Were the Lucky Ones is a skillfully woven reimagining of [Hunter’s] own family’s struggle for survival during World War II . This emotionally resonant, gripping portrait of the war is filled with beautifully drawn and wonderfully heroic characters I won’t soon forget.” — Jillian Cantor , author of Margot and The Hours Count. “Georgia Hunter has crafted her own family history into a sprawling, yet still intimate portrait of those swept up in the devastation of war and scattered to the winds. We Were the Lucky Ones is a compelling read, notable for Hunter’s clear portraits of her plucky, resilient family, and for her ability to build suspense and investment without emotional manipulation.” — Courtney Naliboff, ReformJudaism.org.
