A brief excerpt: “Who are you Fallon that you can do such things and, where do you come from?” “Please Vanna; please don’t make me tell you. I’m so afraid you’ll turn away from me in fear if you know, and I would never see you again. I couldn’t face life here without you.” Fallon raised her hand to his lips and kissed her fingers. Please my love don’t make me tell you.” “Fallon I have to know who I’ve fallen in love with. I’ve kept no secrets from you. I’ve told you every last detail about myself. Now it’s your turn.

About the Author: Barbara says she married a wonderful man she met in high school, and together they have three children and two grandchildren. She graduated from high school however her education lacked giving her the mechanics of writing. She bought books and taught herself by trial and error. She didn’t start writing until she realized she was the last one in her family who still had memories of those who had already passed away. Their stories would be lost forever if someone didn’t capture them for the future. Saving the past began her writing career. After running out of family stories she found she enjoyed writing so much that she began making up short stories with plots that promised to keep the reader’s interest right up to the last page. Then she graduated to full length books. She’s loves writing about the paranormal and so far, she says she hasn’t run out of new book ideas.

Book Description
A revealing biography of Lady Bird Johnson exposes startling insights into her marriage to Lyndon Baines Johnson—and her unexpectedly strong impact on his presidency. Long obscured by her husband’s shadow, Claudia “Lady Bird” Johnson emerges in this first comprehensive biography as a figure of surprising influence and the centering force for LBJ, a man who suffered from extreme mood swings and desperately needed someone to help control his darker impulses. Expertly researched and written, Lady Bird draws from rare conversations with the former First Lady and from interviews with key members of Johnson’s inner circle of friends, family, and advisers. With chapters such as “Motherless Child,” “A Ten-Week Affair,” and “LBJ’s Midlife Crisis,” Lady Bird sheds light on Mrs. Johnson’s childhood, on her amazing acumen as a businesswoman, and on the central role she played in her husband’s life and political career. A vital link to the Kennedys during LBJ’s uneasy tenure as vice president and a voice of conscience on civil rights, Jan Jarboe Russell reveals Lady Bird as a political force. In this intimate portrait, Russell shows us the private Lady Bird—not only a passionate conservationist but a remarkable woman who greatly influenced her husband, his administration, and the country.

Book Description
Oxford in 2060 is a chaotic place, with scores of time-traveling historians being sent into the past. Michael Davies is prepping to go to Pearl Harbor. Merope Ward is coping with a bunch of bratty 1940 evacuees and trying to talk her thesis adviser into letting her go to VE-Day. Polly Churchill’s next assignment will be as a shopgirl in the middle of London’s Blitz. But now the time-travel lab is suddenly canceling assignments and switching around everyone’s schedules. And when Michael, Merope, and Polly finally get to World War II, things just get worse. For there they face air raids, blackouts, and dive-bombing Stukas—to say nothing of a growing feeling that not only their assignments but the war and history itself are spiraling out of control. Because suddenly the once-reliable mechanisms of time travel are showing significant glitches, and our heroes are beginning to question their most firmly held belief: that no historian can possibly change the past.
