The downtown turkeys seem a bit less visible this year. Usually by now there is a huge flock spends all their time crossing the street back and forth. I think it’s to show dominance over us by making us wait. I have seen a few people try to speed up just a little to get around them, but they speed up as well and block the cars. Long ago I learned to just stop and wait. No use fighting a flock of turkeys. They are HUGE! By this time of year though, there are a good ten to fifteen in the flock. At last count I only saw five. I wonder if they had a falling out amongst some of the family members and split the family. Maybe they each stay on their side of the road now and refuse to talk it out. I see a Romeo and Juliet scenario playing out this holiday season. Throw in the fact that Thanksgiving is right around the corner and you got yourself a real drama on your hands.

Boxed Set – The Coach House and Daughters
by Florence Osmund
Genre: Historical Fiction | Literary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Each book in this two-book series is a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree.
The Coach House – When Marie discovers the extent of her husband’s involvement in 1940s Chicago underground activities, she gives up what had appeared to be the perfect life — a good job, a loving husband, and the promise of starting a family. In her pursuit of a new life, fate draws her to Kansas where she finds refuge in a coach house apartment tucked away behind a three-story Victorian home in the quaint town of Atchison — an ideal place to start over, away from big city life and Richard.
But Richard isn’t about to let her go easily, and his convincing attempts to coerce her into believing that she is safer with him in his world than on her own cause Marie to second-guess her own convictions more than once.
Scared, confused, and at the brink of deciding what to do in order to find peace in her life, Marie discovers the identity of her real father and his surprising heritage — changing her life more than Richard ever could.
Daughters – Discovering the identity of your real father can be life-altering. Just ask Marie. At twenty-six, she is about to meet her father for the first time and sit down to Thanksgiving dinner with him and his family.
As she packs her suitcase, Marie wonders how her newfound family will receive her and what she will learn about them… and their ethnicity. While she realizes that her life will change because of them — it is not knowing just how much that scares her.
Will Marie find the peace and truth in her life that she so desperately needs, or is it unrealistic for her to think that such disparate lives can freely converge in 1940s middle America? She quickly learns that the answer to that question is not going to come easily.
A lot happens as a result of Marie’s visit, but ironically the most significance consequence grows out of an encounter with a twelve-year-old neighbor girl named Rachael.
