Sixteen-year-old Paul Porter's relocation to Pennsylvania is a temporary move during his dad's deployment. Or so he and his brother think, until devastating news lands on their doorstep. Paul's new home with the Muellers provides solace, especially in the form of Rachel, his friend and confidante. Their abiding friendship deepens as they work side by side to uncover what could be lost treasure. Will they acquire the strength of character and virtue to take only what rightfully belongs to them or are they in way over their heads, with more than a few lost artifacts at stake?

I listened to Rightfully Ours as I took my daily walk up and down nearby hills in my neighborhood. Each day, I looked forward to the latest twist and turn in the journey of a couple who had fallen in love at a young age. The story really captured my imagination. In fact, I often walked farther just to see what happened next in their adventure. I had come to really care about Paul and Rachel. This is the sign of a well-written tale. I identified with their struggles to maintain healthy boundaries. My children are young adults now, but I certainly would have encouraged them to listen to this story. In an honest manner, Astfalk portrays the battle to maintain a virtuous relationship. It takes perseverance, prayer, and wise counsel from caring adults. Astfalk is a skillful writer who manages to tell a compelling story with an important message, without preaching. I highly recommend this book for parents who are raising teenagers, but don’t get me wrong. Rightfully Ours does not beat you over the head trying to get across a theme. It is an entertaining story with believable characters and surprising plot twists.

Marie-Antoinette, Daughter of the Caesars is about the life, death, and legacy of Louis XVI's tragic queen, based upon the author's 30 years of research. Whenever possible, the historical persons speak for themselves out of memoirs and letters.

Exploding myths!
Revisado: 03-23-19
Elena Maria Vidal has done a great service to history by exploding many myths surrounding the little understood Marie Antoinette-the beautiful queen of France who died by guillotine in the French Revolution (1793). Most of us only remember her as a selfish queen who looked on the trials of poor people and said " let them eat cake". This image is far from the truth. Thanks to decades of exhaustive research, Vidal portrays a queen martyr -courageous in faith and ultimately loyal to her husband in his last agony and execution.
The narrator, Courtney Shelly has a pleasant voice, capable of navigating the pronunciation of French words with aplomb. Despite the monumental research involved in the writing of this book, Vidal still has a compelling narrative that keeps the listener coming back for more of her tragic story.
