Now the two sit in a hospital room while Harriet wonders how to approach her. Marigold has her own problems; pregnant with complications she cannot reveal because everyone would know she had married Matthew, and his parents are dead set against her. Life has become nothing but trial and hardship; Bittys chief of police has been injured in a drug bust that left one officer dead. Andrew Graves was the suspects PR man. Had it not been for one man seeing something worth saving in Andrew, he would be in prison. Now his boss is on trial. Just when they think it cant get much worse, Ellens ex-husband decides if Daniel Gates cant come up with a certain amount of money, he will declare his right as Ruthies father, gain custody, and move Ruthie to Florida. Will Ellens undying faith in the God she believes in sustain her or will she fall?

Book Description
The term 'ordinary' family is a misnomer. Almost never is any family 'ordinary' in that sense...dig a bit into history, relate the dinner table stories, the lifestyles, the experiences, and fascinating life stories are revealed. Within this family, several lives are revealed. Within those lives circumstances that were dangerous, adventurous, enormously difficult, and above all, true are revealed. In a typically American context, many started as immigrants, but became Americans by design, by ignoring hardships, escaping poverty, and in one case, by tragic events. It begins in the trackless Manitoba prairie, but touches places all over the world as lives unfold. Take his tour of his family snapshots, as it were, and consider your own family story. Do you have a story to tell?

The stories are about a snow blower, a chainsaw, a leaf blower, a lawnmower, a set of bicycle tools, a motorcycle and a dog hair trimmer. I'm not the most effective tool user, but I know I cannot be judged by the size of my tool, only how well I use it. Well now it just takes me a little longer to get the job done. I hope you can relate to these tool experiences. Answer that age old question of why men buy tools. "You are not a tool if you read this book", Vern Bignell.

Book Description
On January 2, 1972, Mark Arax's childhood came to a sudden, explosive end when his father was shot to death at his nightclub in Fresno, California. It was one of the most sensational murders in California's heartland, and it was never solved. Mark, only fifteen years old at the time, was left with a legacy of questions: Were the rumors about his father true? Had he led a double life? Was he killed because of his dealings with the underworld? Mark Arax, an award-winning journalist at the Los Angeles Times, now writes a searing, intensely personal account of his twenty-two-year search for answers about his father's life and death, and his own identity. As the oldest child, Mark was thrust into the role of patriarch. His quest for answers began in high school, when he sought out his father's father, an Armenian immigrant. His grandfather opened a window into an old country world full of promise and heartbreak -- and four generations of eccentric family members. Two decades later, Mark uprooted his wife and baby and returned to Fresno under an assumed name to try and determine who killed his father and why. Fearing for his own life, he discovers his father was murdered just before he was going to make a startling disclosure. More than a true-life murder mystery, more than an exploration of family and culture, In My Father's Name is the poignant story of one man's remarkable journey as he uncovers long-hidden secrets about his father, his family, his heritage, and the town he once called home.
