Do you believe it is fate or good fortune that decides the direction our life takes? Or is it what we say or fail to say to those we love that paves the path of our future? This novel is told in two separate voices - that of Beri Baines and Colin Chapman. They speak to the reader independently throughout this story. American student Beri Baines is ready for a change. When this independent Trenton State College student is selected to study abroad in the early seventies she boards the plane to England without any idea that this experience is about to bring a true exchange of permanent, unpredictable consequences. Her plans to be a teacher are never realized when unforeseen events at home change her life. Colin Chapman, a conservative British student at Portsmouth City College of Education, is beginning his fourth year of study. When he meets his match with the new American exchange student, Beri Baines, he begins to question his plans for the traditional life he always planned. Although Beri feels a serious relationship will hamper her career goals, she cannot deny her attraction to Colin, who is already secretly plotting to win her heart. But just as the couple realizes they have a genuine connection, unforeseen events at home intervene and transform their future. Beri is forced to fly home and deal with a family emergency. She is seated next to Hal Spencer during the flight and his tempting offer leads to an expected outcome. In this unique tale of hopes, dreams and unanticipated endings, an ambitious young woman embarks on a coming-of-age journey that leads her from America to England and back again. Are both their lives impacted by how they choose to communicate their dreams or how they failed to communicate? Or does fate decide the outcome of our story? You get to decide in AN EVEN EXCHANGE.

Have you ever seen a couple who seems to know a secret? They hold hands, laugh often, seem connected with one another. Have you ever wished you and your spouse could have what they have? In today's society, it's easy to get discouraged about marriage. But it is possible to be a part of a happy couple instead of always in awe of them. Lilo and Gerry Leeds have been married for 57 years and they know what it takes to not only make a marriage work but to live together—happily. In Wonderful Marriage: A Guide to Building A Great Relationship That Will Last a Lifetime, the Leeds discuss sex, communication, dating, finances, children, health, religion, arguing, honeymooning and many other critical relationship issues. This is not a conservative or old-fashioned guide to landing a spouse but a refreshing and easy-to-understand book that will help both partners in a marriage feel validated and satisfied. The Leeds' message is strengthened by contributions from Terrence Real, a bestselling relationship author who has more than 20 years of experience as a family therapist.

One of the most original and widely imitated poets of the twentieth century, William Carlos Williams (1883–1963) wrote verse firmly rooted in concrete experience and the particulars of everyday life. A practicing physician for more than 40 years, Williams worked in the idiom of modern American speech ― unlike his friend and mentor, Ezra Pound ― and his poems are redolent with a warmth and generosity of spirit. The Beat poets were particularly impressed with the accessibility of his language, and Williams's widely quoted dictum, "No ideas but in things," influenced a generation of American poets. This fine selection offers readers the opportunity to study and enjoy the richness and variety of Williams's early work. More than 70 poems, published between 1917 and 1921, include "Peace on Earth," "Tract," "El Hombre," "Danse Russe," "Keller Gegen Dom," "Willow Poem," "Queen-Anne's-Lace," "Portrait of a Lady," "The Widow's Lament in Springtime," and many others.
