In the day's dying light, Lady Timandra Lotterby peered out the coach window at thedark and shuttered house and wished she had never offered to accompany her friend, ElizaTilbury, to Perfidious Brambles. A cold shiver crept up her spine, and she squiggleduncomfortably on the padded seat cushion. Eliza's trembling hand slid over hers, and Timandrafelt instant shame. She was here to support her friend, not give way to silly, baseless fears. Yes,the estate grounds appeared unkempt, and the house foreboding, but an old man living on hisown might find little need to keep up appearances.

A Puget Sounder by birth, Judith Barker Kvinsland presents a collection of fifteen, inter-related personal essays that invite readers to accompany her through the twists and turns that disturbed the calm of an otherwise, ordinary life. Her memoir, told in memorable, lyrical prose, is a recollection of the time in post-World War II America, as well as a remembrance of place, while growing up in rural South Kitsap County in northwest Washington state. She reminds us how the memories of significant persons and specific places can impact us and be relied upon to give us strength, inspiration, and insight as we maneuver through turning points in our lives.Kvinsland concludes her memoir with present-day realities that continue to disturb the calm in adulthood, events that readers may have already experienced, or may eventually face: empty nests; new, unfamiliar living locations; serious illness; aging parents; loss and painful grief; and ultimately, the joys of grandparenting.“Disturbing the Calm: A Memoir of Time and Place,” is an honest, often humorous, heartfelt telling of a life that will stir readers to reflect upon their own lives and say, “I know just how she felt.”

When a fishing trawler out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean hauls in its largest load in weeks, the crew is ill-prepared for the unveiling of their catch an automobile painted-up like a military jet, with a body inside wearing a U.S. NAVY flight suit. The circumstances surrounding the scene are almost too much to comprehend how is such a scenario possible? Investigators have their theory, but even they could not foresee the overriding mystery behind this crime ties to an event that occurred on the Aircraft Carrier USS ENTERPRISE over 30 years prior; and they are not coincidental.

This is a story about one familys journey with an autistic family member, Steven; as told by his mother. It is also Stevens story from birth to the present as a man in his early 40s.It is an engaging and emotional story. At the same time, it is an honest portrayal of what it is like to live with autism on a daily basis.Cindy Rasmussen wrote this story for her children to help them understand what happened in their family when they were growing up, from the perspective of a Mom. Her eldest son, Mark, was only 19 months old when her autistic son, Steven, was born and only 2 1/2 when the first serious problems began. Steven was six years old when Geoffrey was born. So although they were there for most of the journey, they have little memory or understanding of the most difficult years for their family. It is her hope that as adults they can read her account and gain a deeper insight and understanding into things that took place in their childhoods and that this knowledge might help them as they go forward in their own lives.Cindy says: If you are the parent of an autistic child, I also want to share our story with you so that you know that you are not alone. Your journey will be different than ours because every child is an individual and every family is unique. Our story does not have a ';happily ever after' ending, but it is a story of hope and encouragement. We have found no perfect solutions, and we made many mistakes along the way, but we have found ways to overcome the obstacles and to find joy and fulfillment in knowing and loving our autistic child. It is my hope that our story will encourage you to also find a rewarding journey in life.For all who read this Cindy would like to leave the message that autism is not just a scary label, it has a face and a personality. She wants you to meet Steven, to get to know him as she and her family do and to learn why they love him and why he brings such joy to their lives and the lives of others. There are many ';Stevens' out there, they are not all alike, but by knowing Steven through this story, Cindy hopes to help readers have a greater understanding and acceptance of others like him.
