Achieving compatibility with the opposite sex can be an intricate process. While navigating our way through intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual compatibilities, we must also find a way to value our self-worth to our mate. Unfortunately, we often only see things from our own experiences and perspectives. In a raw, unapologetic, and energetic presentation, Wayne Dean provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into “him and her” thoughts and actions. While mostly focusing on “her” from his perspective, he also highlights the male viewpoint by creating settings that address the various issues one might encounter in a relationship while balancing its faults and merits. Dean’s enlightening, thought-provoking, and often humorous essays vividly explore the rollercoaster epics either played out in public or behind closed doors in a relationship, the mystery of what a woman really wants and needs from a man, the woman with a scarred heart who detests men, why an interracial relationship can be challenging for both sexes, and much more. Untold Stories, Him and Her shares a brazen peek into the nuances of male and female relationships while highlighting the negatives and positives of not only our actions, but also our deepest thoughts.

Welcome to Spring Cove, a picturesque village with New England charm, rambling farms, sheds, front porches, gardens, clothes lines, flocks of chickens, and party lines. This story transports the reader to the MacWilliams farm and allows the reader to watch as the family lives through most of the twentieth century in a small rural village along the southern mid-coast of Maine. This is a journey to a time and place when your grandmother’s kitchen smelled of apple pie, people swam in rivers, communities celebrated the 4th of July at the Village Green, and relatives returned home for the holidays. Ann Purdy gives us a glimpse back to what was once so familiar. She portrays her characters and the period so that they seem like the people you once knew - your family, your neighbors, and your friends. There is the delivery man who always advises he takes his coffee black, though everyone knows it, and the switchboard operator that listens in on calls and seems compelled to share the details. Every small town had characters and was better for it. Generations of women in the family sit in the same window seat and gaze out upon the MacWilliams farm thinking about their reality, what might be, and how to proceed forward. There is no wallowing in their circumstances. They exhibit a manner of living that is genuine, kind and yet very strong. “...memories, deep and true, are woven into the fabric of our lives.” Ann Purdy’s book takes us to see the threads of this family and it reminds us of our own fabric, too. —Ruth Dunbar, Director, Four Pines Book Club

Never intended for anyone’s eyes except parents, these letters are now compiled by the author for her adult children to read and relive the life they loved growing up in Zaire, Africa (Democratic Republic of Congo). Stored by her mother-in-law in old film boxes for three decades, they serve as a record of daily life in a family learning to survive and thrive and do ministry in a developing country. Daily water and electricity and regular mail became luxuries to celebrate in prayer and praise. Often considered by others to be a unique life, in reading you may encounter the unique, but guaranteed are also some boring details that were not omitted in the copying process so the children would understand what life involved for their parents. Whether unique, boring or difficult, these were deemed a privilege by the author and her husband who regard themselves as simply obedient to a call to that life out of their deep love for Jesus, their Lord and Savior who loved them and gave his life for them.
