Cheeks is a little Chipmunk. He has a problem that only Dr. Norman can help him with. He keeps getting things stuck in the food pouches in his mouth. This time it's candy. Lots of candy! It's making it hard for him to talk, so he can only nod "Yes" or "No" when Dr. Norman asks him questions. They've sent for his mother, but it may take a while for her to get to the office where Dr. Norm and his son, Dr. Dustin, work. Poor little Cheeks. He's sad and just a little scared. But not to worry, he's come to the right place for help. We hope!
Excerpt from Chapter One: "McCain's well-trimmed beard and thick, shoulder-length hair was nearly snow white, but the eyes which stared out from beneath the large Texas hat were granite gray, and still as clear as the day he'd joined the Texas Rangers. The creases in his face and the backs of his hands were burned as dark as the local Mexicans, appearing as hard as saddle leather. To the casual observer's first glance, except for the ramrod straightness that bespoke of some past regimentation, he appeared rather ordinary. But Captain J.D. McCain, as those who'd served with him could tell you, was anything but ordinary. Those whom he'd served with in the Rangers thought him to be one of the finest field commanders the Rangers had ever produced. Both he and Roosevelt Poe had been famous throughout the territory for the past twenty-five years, well-known from Mexico all the way north to the Cripple Creek gold mines. After retirement five years earlier, they'd quietly slipped into oblivion and most people wrongly assumed they'd died or were laid up in some old soldier's home. The mere thought of that might've disgusted McCain. Roosevelt Poe, however, would've found it quite amusing."
In A Door Left Open, a high school drop-out dares all to live his dreams. RICK ANDERSON became a firefighter in 1971, morphed into a highly decorated Maryland State Police trooper, and went on to accept a position as a counter-terrorist operative.Along the way he developed into an accomplished aviator, world-class scuba diver, author and global traveler, who when not living in a Micronesian paradise or a Bosnian war zone, bungee jumped in Bangkok, crawled through caves in Croatia, and glided over Greenland's glaciers.But the pursuit of dreams came with a price tag: it meant dealing with crippling grief and personal setbacks. And yet these challenges were more than matched by the unbridled happiness and contentment that came not only by living those dreams, but from the relationships and friendships he made along the way.A Door Left Open is an adventure, a love affair with life, and a story with a startling emotional reward at the end.
Mary Walker Clark barely knew her father. When he died, he left not only the obvious void every teen would experience, but took with him scores of Indiana Jones-style tales about flying the Hump, a treacherous series of US missions that transported supplies over the Himalayas to China during World War II. It would take a chance interview with a pilot who had flown with her father in the war to launch a series of extraordinary journeys - into a shrouded past and halfway around the globe to India and China - for Clark to finally come to know the father whose absence had haunted her for decades. "Landing in My Present" chronicles the adventures of a daughter who chose to pry open a painful past while enlarging her view of an adventurous father long thought lost.
