Love from the Ashes by Denise A. Agnew

Product Description
During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, privileged Grace Wyne and Irish immigrant Nathaniel Dempsey desperately try to rescue love from the ashes.

Grace and Nate seek freedom and a new life in San Francisco, but society, her family, and forces of nature, wage war against them.

Nate is torn by the death of his family in Ireland, yet he finds Grace's spirit is a balm for his soul. She joins a suffragette organization and, when she encounters scorn and violence, Nate vows to protect her.

She is determined to marry for love, and now is stunned by her feelings for a man far beneath her social status. There is more than one danger to face, for the earth is unstable and their forbidden love is a sure formula for disaster.

When the earth trembles and breaks apart, no one knows who will live to love again…or who will die.

Forevermore by Cathy Marie Hake ($0.50) [Bethany House Publishers]

Like a dandelion in the wind, Hope Ladley blows from one farm to the next, helping cook for the field hands during the harvest.

But her sunny disposition and unstinting love make changes of a different kind around the place. His little daughter and the pregnant sister he's shielding from an abusive husband adore Hope, and things are getting accomplished even if Hope's methods are unique.

Then Jakob's brother-in-law shows up and threatens the newfound peace and happiness of the farm. With Jakob's future uncertain and his heart tangled, can the farmer convince Hope to take root and remain as his wife?

Realms of the Earth Angels by Doreen Virtue ($0.89) [Hay House]

Product Description
Since the publication of her best-selling book Earth Angels (more than 80,000 copies sold), Doreen Virtue presented workshops about these lightworkers to several international audiences, which yielded additional information about the various realms that these beings originate from. In addition to the “core realms” that Doreen discussed in the first book (Incarnated Angels, Incarnated Elementals, Star People, and Wise Ones), some new realms have been discovered. In Realms of the Earth Angels, Doreen discusses the original Earth Angels book, plus gives updated descriptions about the new realms, which include Mystic Angels (half-angel, half-wise one); Leprechauns (half-elemental, half-wise one); Merpeople; Knights; and more. As with the original book, you, the reader, can take an expanded quiz to help you recognize your own realm. Each realm has its own chapter, with Earth Angel characteristics, suggestions, advice, and case studies.
