Product Description
Customer review: "This is a winner. As always Carolyn Brown creates characters that make your heart melt."
Damsel in distress…
Cassie O’Malley qualified for sure. She was on the run with a sheriff coming right at her and a handsome farmer close enough that she could touch him. She only wanted the sexy farmer’s help for a few minutes but that damned sheriff insisted on taking them to the court house himself.
Get married…
Ted Wellman didn’t go to town to get hitched but that sweet girl with her big green eyes looked desperate when she asked him to help her. Then suddenly he was married to the girl and he knew nothing about her.
Rather than rushing to help him get ride of his bride for a day, his crazy family seemed determined to keep him and Cassie together. What were they thinking? That there was a chance of thawing Ted’s heart?
If you liked Carolyn Brown’s Three Magic Words series: A Forever Thing, In Shining Whatever and Life After Wife or her stand alone romance books, A Falling Star, Lily’s White Lace or The PMS Club you'll be sure to love Bride for a Day.

Product Description
Customer review: "This is funny, intelligent, and full of history yet up to date."
Cool, Gray City of Love brings together an exuberant combination of personal insight, deeply researched history, in-depth reporting, and lyrical prose to create an unparalleled portrait of San Francisco. Each of its 49 chapters explores a specific site or intersection in the city, from the mighty Golden Gate Bridge to the raunchy Tenderloin to the soaring sea cliffs at Land's End.
This unique approach captures the exhilarating experience of walking through San Francisco's sublime terrain, while at the same time tying that experience to a history as rollicking and unpredictable as the city herself. From her absurd beginnings as the most distant and moth-eaten outpost of the world's most extensive empire, to her instantaneous fame during the Gold Rush, from her apocalyptic destruction by earthquake and fire to her perennial embrace of rebels, dreamers, hedonists and misfits of all stripes, the City by the Bay has always followed a trajectory as wildly independent as the untrammeled natural forces that created her.
This ambitious, eclectic, and beautifully written book draws on everything from on-the-ground reporting to obscure academic papers to the author's 40-year life in San Francisco to create a rich and insightful portrait of a magical corner of the world. Complete with hand-drawn maps ofthe 49locations, this handsome package will sit comfortably on the short shelf of enduring books about places, alongside E. B. White's Here is New York, Jose Saramago's Journey to Portugal, or Alfred Kazin's A Walker in the City.

Can one good deed from an ordinary girl change the world?
It can when she’s Ordinary Mary—an ordinary girl from an ordinary school, on her way to her ordinary house—who stumbles upon ordinary blueberries. When she decides to pick them for her neighbor, Mrs. Bishop, she starts a chain reaction that multiplies around the world. Mrs. Bishop makes blueberry muffins and gives them to her paperboy and four others—one of whom is Mr. Stevens, who then helps five different people with their luggage—one of whom is Maria, who then helps five people—including a man named Joseph who didn’t have enough money for his groceries—and so on, until the deed comes back to Mary.
It’s a feel-good story that inspires and celebrates a world full of ordinary deeds!
