Alison's Journey
Saturday, June 4, 1-3pm
Alison’s life is perfect. Married to Eric, a handsome, wealthy man,
she teaches 5th grade – just for fun – and is the envy of all her
friends. But beneath the surface, Eric is an abusive monster. Able to
take no more, Alison flees her “perfect life” with only her clothes,
her car and two cats. After a mad dash across the country, she lands in
Grabill, a backwoods Ohio town with seemingly little to offer. But if
anyone knows that appearances are deceiving, Alison does. So, she takes
her chances on Grabill and, eventually, mechanic Tyler Coffey,
embarking on a journey of a whole other kind.

Coming to America: The Real Story
Booksigning: Saturday, June 25, 1-3pm
From a small village in Africa to the foundation of a
potentially multi-billion dollar corporation in America and how he did
it! He learned English by watching TV in Togo (West Africa),
his mother sold charcoal to raise five children. He came to America and
became a Technical Writer for a Fortune 500 American Corporation.
Tino Adognravi then founded Global Market Sales Corporation, far
exceeding
the expectations of someone who had to swim across a lake in order to
make
it to school on time. His father was not in his life while he was
growing
up but the one thing he remembers is that his father told him that only

Erin
Adventures, 1950-1975. I'm searching
for a book I know very little about. I know it is a children's book
about a little girl named Erin who has adventures. A good friend
of mine read it when she was a little girl and I thought I would get it
for her...She even named her daughter Erin as a result of reading this
book. My friend is 45 years old, so I thought it might have been
written in the 60s. Thanks for your help!
