A true story about death, loss, and redemption during one of the most tumultuous times in U.S. History, this book follows Hattie from the time she learns of her mother’s horrible death and the murder trial of her father, through her adulthood. Hattie learns of a strength she never knew she had, and that loving someone means forgiving them as well.

One shot fired deep in the pine forests of her youth was all it took to change Hattie’s life forever. At the age of fourteen, Hattie learns that her mother, Addie, is dead, and her father, Hubbard, stands accused of Addie’s murder, along with countless other shocking betrayals.

Overnight, Hattie becomes mother to her three siblings while still very much a child herself. The life she had dreamt of now seems impossible to achieve. How will Hattie break away from the father who prevents her from living the life she desperately wants? Will her heart ever be able to heal in the height of The Great Depression?

A Five Star Fabulous Review for Shanty Gold by Jeanne Charters

In a fantastic read by debut author Jeanne Charters, Shanty Gold, the story of a young Irish girl, Mary Boland, will captivate readers from beginning to end. Taking place in 1849, the story begins with Mary being found almost dead alongside a road. The great famine is in full swing, and Mary had just buried her mother and sister, both of whom succumbed to starvation. Mary needs to find her father, and is determined to get to Boston to do so. She ends up getting assaulted by the crew of the ship carrying her to the New World, but is befriended by a young black slave boy. Together they survive the long journey and make it to the New World, where they hope their dreams will come true.

I so enjoyed reading Shanty Gold. Author Jeanne Charters has done an absolutely wonderful job in creating a story line and characters that her readers will connect with, relate to, and continue to think about long after the book is done. If that isn’t a hallmark of a wonderful writer, I don’t know what is. When I picked up Shanty Gold, I intended to only read a few chapters and then pick up again the next day. Well, several hours late into the night, and I was finishing the last page. I simply could not put it down. Any reader who enjoys historical fiction or simply a great read would love Shanty Gold. I highly recommend this book, and I am certainly hopeful that author Jeanne Charters is already hard at work on her next book. I, for one, will be waiting for the next offering from this author. www.jeannecharters.com  Published by Rogue Phoenix Press www.roguephoenixpress.com  https://loiaconoliteraryagency.com/authors/jeanne-charters/  Amazon  B&N

Joyce Zeller’s interview with David Clarke Blog Talk Radio http://www.blogtalkradio.com/authordavidclarke/2015/10/16/joyce-zeller-author-of-horror-books-will-intrigue-you-take-callers

Zeller is the author of Maddie’s Choice (Camel Press), The Haunting of Arron House and Love in a Small Town (Rogue Phoenix Press).

Adoration for his children radiated from Evron’s dark eyes. “Who wants to read the first line of tonight’s psalm?”

Tuli slid off Havah’s lap. He hopped up and down. “I do! I do!”

Hoisting him onto his lap, Evron held the book for him. “Our little rooster always reads first. He just started Heder and hasn’t learned to read as many words as the rest of us. The first line of the psalm is usually the shortest.”

After Tuli sounded out three words Zelig read his portion. Ruth and Rukhel read the next two lines together. Their pronunciation of the Hebrew words and understanding amazed Arel. “Your daughters read the Holy Books?”

Evron, beaming with pride, kissed each of his children before they returned to their places on the floor. “Why not? The Almighty has blessed them with sharp minds. Why shouldn’t they have the same opportunities as their brothers?”

Character Study – Abromovich Children

            Soon after Havah comes to live with Evron, Katya and their four children Havah’s skill as a midwife is tested when Katya gives birth to her fifth child.

Identical twins, Ruth and Rukhel, the eldest of the Abromovich clan, had hoped for a little sister but are delighted with their new brother Velvil. They are bright, happy girls who are prone to finish each other’s sentences.  Shayndel observes, “It’s as if Adoshem gave those girls two bodies and one heart.”

Zelig is a studious boy who one day would like to become a rabbi. Old for his age, he prefers reading to playing games. His noisy sisters and brothers often test his patience.

Tuli is at once Havah’s favorite. He’s an affectionate imaginative child who loves to draw and read.

Non-Irish Husband http://jeannecharters.com/non-irish-husband/

This is a must read for both genders, perhaps print it out and put it on your frig. I am. J

October 10, 2015  Jeanne Charters

I have had two husbands. One was of Irish blood. The other is Italian-Bulgarian. I prefer the latter. One of the reasons is that he’s sober. The second is his sense of humor. That’s why I’ve stuck with him for 31 years. Last week, digging through computer files, I found this from him:

These are rules for my woman from Matt Restivo.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.  You’re a big girl.  If it’s up, put it down.  We need it up; you need it down.  You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
2. Sunday = sports.  It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
3. Shopping is NOT a sport.  And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
4. Crying is blackmail.
5. Ask for what you want.  Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work!  Strong hints do not work!  Obvious hints do not work!  Just say it!
6. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
7. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.  That’s what we do.  Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
8. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem.  See a doctor.
9. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.  In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
10. If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.
11. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
12. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both.  If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
13. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
14. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
15. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.  Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color.  Pumpkin is also a fruit.  We have no idea what mauve is.
16. If it itches, it will be scratched.  We do that.
17. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will act like nothing’s wrong.  We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
18. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
19. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
20.  You have enough clothes.
21. You have too many shoes.
22. I am in shape.  Round is a shape.
23. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don’t mind that, it’s like camping.
