A War of Daisies by A.A. Chamberlynn Pdf

Hell Hath No Fury… It all started the day the cyclone touched down in Hawk’s Hollow, just a few days before the annual rodeo and cross-country race. Unbeknownst to the four women caught in the twister, a dark destiny had befallen them. Willow gains the ability to create chaos, Penelope causes illness if she loses her temper, Felicity can drain a person to within an inch of their life, and Dynah can summon the dead. It’s hard enough for a woman to navigate society in the 1800s, let alone in a land of outlaws and cutthroats. Add in angels, demons, and enough raw magic to blow Colorado off the map, and you’ve got a recipe for the end of the world. Because a woman’s rage is just a fuse waiting to be lit, and once that day comes, the Apocalypse is nigh. *** Good Omens meets Westworld with a feminist twist. This fantasy Western by bestselling author A.A. Chamberlynn will also appeal to fans of Wynonna Earp. Chock-full of kickass women, cowboys, angels, and demons, this supernatural thriller and historical fantasy will take you on a wild ride. Saddle up! WANT MORE FOUR HORSEWOMEN?

Barbed Wire and Daisies by Carol Strazer Pdf

As the Russian army advances on war-torn Prussia at the end of World War II, Marike Wiens gathers her four young children and flees for Denmark, the only place willing to accept German refugees. Marike arrives in Danzig just as the Allied bombs begin to fall. She and her children pick their way through the rubble to reunite with Marike's gravely ill father and the rest of her family. Together, they board an overcrowded, disease-infested ship bound for Denmark. Arriving at the refugee camp, Marike's hopes for a safe haven are dashed when she discovers the Danes have been forced to create the camps under orders from the occupying German army. Danish hostility toward the mostly women and children who cross their borders is palpable. Behind the barbed wire, Marike and her family face near starvation, illness, mistreatment, and heart-rending conditions. Moved from camp to camp, Marike struggles to keep her family alive and to hold onto their Mennonite faith. Her only hope for survival lies with her husband, Horst, who is missing in action on the Eastern Front. But as the months go by and thousands of refugees perish around her, Marike must find a new solution to save her family.

The Bomb Girls by Daisy Styles Pdf

On an ordinary day in 1941, a letter arrives on the doormats of five young women, a letter which will change everything. Lillian is distraught. And whether she tears, hides or burns the letter the words remain the same - she must register for compulsory war work. Many miles away, Emily is also furious - her dream job as a chef will have to be put on hold, whilst studious Alice must abandon her plans of college. Staring at an identical letter, Elsie feels a kindling of hope at the possibility of leaving behind her brutal father. And down in London, Agnes has her own reasons for packing her bags with a smile. Brought together at a munitions factory in a Lancashire mill town, none of them knows what lies ahead. Sharing grief and joy, lost dreams and gained opportunities, the five new bomb girls will find friendship and strength that they never before thought possible as they unite to help the country they love survive. Praise for Daisy Styles 'A great read that I think will appeal to fans of wartime sagas and authors like Donna Douglas . . . From dances to disasters, encounters with handsome Yanks, rationing and relationships, The Bomb Girls has all the ingredients of an excellent wartime drama and I thoroughly enjoyed it!' Onemorepage.com 'The story is full of drama, love, heartbreak, friendship and in some part some comedy . . . It's full of twist and turns and is a real page turner' Laurahbookblog
