I love memoir, young-adult fiction, and romance. Sometimes a combination of all three.
Mantana:
Where the Odds and Good - but, the Goods are Odd
​
A memoir of dating after divorce, in a state with 147 single men for every 100 single women, with 3 people per square mile.

Advice to women wanting to partner with the Montana-man: If you are sensitive to body odor, facial hair, chewing tobacco, dog hair, dirty clothes, mildew-y long underwear, the scent of dead fish, animal blood, baseball or cowboy hats, or occasionally being called Ma'am - you should probably consider dating another species. A Montana-man will never be man-scaped, plucked, manicured, ironed, or color-coordinated. His wardrobe consists of a closet full of plaid shirts in various colors, ranging from thick flannel to thin sun shirts, from Patagonia to Simms. He owns one suit, and he wore it to his wedding. ​
Traveling Shoes, Dancing Feet
​
Wanderlust:
noun
-
a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about.
​
The story of five teenage girls who find themselves unexpectedly together on an African adventure. With a daring group of classmates and teachers, the five girls find their personal stories of growth through hardship, moonlit nights, and an unpredictable journey under the Africa sun.
Wave Wheel
​
Eighteen students. Six girls. Twelve boys. 36 kayaks. Seven teachers. And one criminal.
​
New Zealand is latticed with open landscapes, clear whitewater, and a feeling that anything can happen. When a competitive sports academy uses its rivers for whitewater training, the magic of competition, wilderness, and camaraderie infuses daily life.
But, tragically, not all of the students are having a good time.
Classy, Sassy & a Little Bad-assy
​
In twenty years of bringing students overseas to developing countries, there have been stories of sickness, laughter, and chaos. As the dust has settled over the years, the students have grown into remarkable men and women who are changing the world.
These true-life narratives chronicle the connection between risk-taking and coming-of-age. Told through multiple perspectives of teacher and student/ adult and adolescent, the values learned by this generation may shape the way we regard teenagers in the next.
