Awakening the Ancients
Summary
My name is Ariana. I am heiress to the old religions, collector of history, gatherer of the ancients. I wish I could say all magic and wisdom were mine again, but I'm human now and have been for a very long time. I have come back to find the mates to my soul. Christian Winger. My friend and protector. The one person in my untried world who also heard the Whispers. Daen. Friend or foe - we know not which. That he is powerful and beautiful is beyond argument. Ryuichi. A tormented Japanese rock star with the secrets of our magic and an undying love held inside his memory. This is my diary. Our record. The ancients are awakening.

An Unexpected Family
Summary
Between 1850 and 1930, around 250,000 abandoned and orphaned children traveled from the East Coast of the US to various cities and towns throughout the nation on what would be known as the orphan trains. Most came from New York City. Posters were placed around town advertising "Homes Wanted for Orphans"; usually a committee was formed to help facilitate the adoption. These children were supposed to be adopted and treated as family members, but this was not always the case however, and sometimes they were placed in less than ideal circumstances. Despite this loosely structured plan, many children did find loving homes and people who cared for their needs.

The Goat Children
Summary
When Keziah’s grandmother, Oma, is diagnosed with dementia, Keziah faces two choices: Leave her family and move to New Winchester to care for Oma, or stay in New York City and allow her grandmother to live in a nursing home miles away. The dementia causes Oma to be rude and paranoid, nothing like the woman Keziah remembers. Each day becomes a greater weight and love a harsher burden. Keziah must keep Oma from wandering off or falling, and try to convince her grandmother to see a doctor as her eyesight and hearing fail, but Oma refuses to believe anything is wrong. Resentful of her hardships in New Winchester, Keziah finds herself drawn to Oma’s ramblings about the Goat Children, a mythical warrior class. These fighters ride winged horses, locating people in need, while attempting to destroy evil in the world. Oma sees the Goat Children everywhere, and as Keziah reads the stories Oma wrote about them, she begins to question if they really exist.
