Alvin C. York
In the quiet hills of Pall Mall, Tennessee, Alvin Cullum York was not the kind of man anyone expected to become a war hero.

Minta Jackson was a young girl of sixteen, whose life was tethered to the soft embrace of her mother, Marry Jackson, and the steady, comforting presence of her father, John Jackson.

Second Chance Love. Content Warning.
The first snow of December dusted the streets of Camden like powdered sugar. The little bookstore on Maple Street had lit its fairy lights early this year, casting a golden glow on passersby.

The Letter from the Mountains. Content Warning.
Afghanistan, 1984 The wind howled like a wounded animal through the narrow mountain pass, carrying with it the scent of dust, gunpowder, and burning memories. Private Alexei Mikhailov sat alone, his back pressed against the jagged stone of an outcrop, his rifle resting loosely across his lap. The stars above the Afghan sky seemed so much colder than the ones over Novosibirsk.
