Out of the ashes of war, love blooms in three separate stories: A SIMPLE CHOICE: The dead lay on a battlefield near Ellen Bidwell's Southern home. She makes a simple choice to notify the families on both sides their men are gone. Union Captain McNamara happens upon her. His choice is simple too--help her, never realizing the building attraction he feels is for naught when she finds her fiance a prisoner in his hospital. Now there is another choice--help them escape or turn them both in? MY ONLY WISH: Set during World War II, their only wish is to be together at Christmas. With a baby on the...

This is the second of three volumes in a huge collection of 100 of my short stories. Volume 1 has 35 sweet wholesome contemporary romance short stories. Volume two has 33 historical romances, and Volume three has 32 time travel stories. North and South. Brother against brother.

Prisons and Patriots provides a detailed account of 41 Nisei (second-generation Japanese Americans), known as the Tucsonians, who were imprisoned for resisting the draft during WWII. Cherstin Lyon parallels their courage as resisters with that of civil rights hero Gordon Hirabayashi, well known for his legal battle against curfew and internment, who also resisted the draft.
